PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS DAY OF , 2015. TOWN OF FIRESTONE, COLORADO v,R�sTo +� Paul Sorensen, Mayor o• ATTEST: nA40 �. �GNrY'..Ca� � Osa hMcdinaLjo�wn Clerk Town Management Staff Wesley LaVanchy, Town Manager Bruce Nickerson, Town Planner Carissa Medina, Town Clerk Dave Lindsay, Town Engineer David Montgomery, Police Chief Sam Light, Town Attorney Pascale Pring, Director of Corporate Services Rebecca Toberman, Planning Coordinator Ron Lay, Finance Director Theo Abkes, Public Works Director Updated 02-06-2015 Purpose of the Policy Statement The purpose of the Policy Statement is to provide a comprehensive overview of the Mayor and Board of Trustees long-term vision as it relates to the community. With that said, the Statement seeks to paint a conceptual framework of the Board's policy recommendations and positions that underscore the notion of sustainability, an idea that stands at the forefront of community development. For instance, the Policy Statement threads the idea of a master narrative, which captures an overarching community vision, with other fundamental core values that are integral to maintaining quality services, smart growth, and effective leadership. As a result, this document is a tool that preserves Firestone's reputation of forward -thinking policy while demonstrating the strategic planning efforts and stewardship of the Board of Trustees. To that end, the Policy Statement is meant to be referenced and updated by current and future Members of the Board. It should continue to reflect the long-term vision of the community and serve as a guide when reviewing and determining policy.

Part of that vision must entail a plan for not only shaping Firestone's community, but also developing Firestone's regional presence. Keeping this in mind, the master narrative is a tool that sets the precedent for future Members of the Board, residents, and developers alike to reference when determining the trajectory of Firestone's evolution. For that reason, the Board refers to this section to define its overall philosophy and policy based on the following: • Detailed comprehensive master plan, including: infrastructure definition; zoning; infill; flexible market needs; financial incentives; criteria for growth impacts; incubation of infrastructure to stimulate desired growth; subarea planning (e.g, corridor planning, Old Town, Gateway); and concept planning/models; • Regional planning for comprehensive standalone community - e.g. housing, retail, employment, quality of life, and recreation; • Partnerships with State park, County, and developers — e.g. align partnerships to develop St. Vrain River corridor; • Tourism; • Short-term and long-term vision; and • Central Park planning and development. FINANCIAL The Board feels that the financial health of the organization should be transparent and responsive to the needs of the entire community. Albeit the budget process is cyclic in nature and appears to be a rudimentary task of the Board, it is one of its core responsibilities that necessitates a substantial amount of time and careful consideration. As such, the Board approaches the Town's finances in a deliberate manner that respects the citizens and sustains the quality services that the Town is known for. The Board therefore establishes financial policies within the purview of: Balance — e.g. flexible to needs and resources; cycle of forecasting, measuring and review; Sustainability — e.g. priority based long-term planning; diversification of finding options (fees, grants, and partnerships); and steady state of in -flows and out- flows; and Transparency — e.g. compressed, succinct budget summary; and accessible and comprehensive executive financial summary. QUALITY OF LWE The Board of Trustees takes pride in its community and believes that the quality of life in Firestone is essential to providing citizens and visitors with an excellent experience. Therefore, the Board defines its long-term vision on the quality of life in Firestone on the following criteria: • Community pride; • Safety; • Education; • Access to health care; • Places to worship; • Community center/facilities; • Interconnectivity — e.g. parks, trails, biking, sidewalks; • Multigenerational amenities — e.g. housing, services; • Active lifestyle opportunities — e.g. parks, trails, recreation, open space, sports programming; • Sustainability; • Entertainment — e.g. retail/shopping, family activities; and • Community -building events and outreach. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT One of the main priorities of the Board is to maintain a business friendly environment that continues to build a strong economic base. For example, the Board maintains a focus on creating a competitive incentive program that invites primary employers to the area. In addition, the Board relies on other factors to establish a long-term vision for its business environment, such as supporting partnerships, both public and private, and encouraging business diversity. This, in turn, also speaks to the larger picture of sustainability and reinforces the Board's desire to develop the business environment by determining policy based on: • Becoming destination driven; • Business friendly — e.g. incentives, schedules, staying proactive; • Partnerships — e.g. incubators; public and private partnership; anchor businesses; business diversity (warehouse, storefront, industrial); • Primary employment development — e.g. tech employment park; • Attract higher -paying jobs; • Transparency — e.g. fee structure; and • Create secondary education/vocational training opportunities. WATER/RESOURCES/INFRASTRUCTURE In order to sustain a strong organization, the Board believes in investing in the Town's water, parks, and streets infrastructure, thereby capitalizing on its resources and contributing to the community's overall structural development. As a result, the Board of Trustees reviews the Town's policy regarding water/resources/infrastructure by considering the following: • Have contingency plans in place; • Water portfolio diversity, including recreational opportunities, efficiency, conservation, low impact, drought tolerant, water treatment plant/delivery; • Developing a potable and non -potable infrastructure; • Telecommunication development, including private and public partnerships; • Public transportation; and • Overall efficiencies within the organization and community. COMMUNITY RELATIONS The Board believes in collaborating with the community and other governmental entities in order to form valuable relationships that support the Town's long-term vision. In addition, the Board understands that Firestone relies on the interconnections within the community to provide important services to its citizens, and, for that reason, the Board considers policy concerning community relations crucial to development. Therefore, the Board reviews community relations policy within the scope of: • Intergovernmental relations with such entities as the County; State, neighboring communities; and water, sanitation, fire, school and recreation districts; • External and internal community outreach efforts; • Community driven; • Recreation district enhancements/opportunities; • Carbon Valley Recreation and Frederick Firestone Fire Protection District partnerships; and • Participation in regional organizations, committees, coalitions and boards such as the Colorado Municipal League and Denver Regional Council of Governments.

ARTICLE 2 EXCLUSIVE SERVICE AREAS 2.01 There are hereby established within the overlapping boundaries of the Town and the District an exclusive service area for the District as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The shaded portions on Schedule A shall be designated as the exclusive treated water service and billing area of the District.

However, if an area is annexed into the Town and is within the Town's exclusive service area, then, upon redevelopment of that area, the customer may petition the District to transition service from the District to the Town, and the District shall not unreasonably deny said petition. 2 2.03 If the Town elects not to serve as the billing entity for all or a portion of the aforementioned areas designated as the Town's exclusive service area and not in the service area of another water provider, then the District may serve and bill all customers in the said area(s), under and in accordance with the Districts' bylaws, tariffs, and rules and regulations in effect from time to time, as though such customers were within the District's exclusive service area notwithstanding annexation of those areas by the Town. ARTICLE 3 PROVISION OF POTABLE WATER 3.01 If and when reasonably requested by the Town, the District and Town shall negotiate in good faith on a potable water treatment and delivery agreement whereby the Town provides raw water to the District and the District treats said water for use within that portion of the Town's exclusive service area northwest of the St. Vrain River, east of Weld County Road 13, and south of State Highway 66. 3.02 Water treated by the District for the Town shall be delivered through master meters at points of delivery ("Delivery Points").

An emergency purpose is defined as any occurrence, condition, or event that results in the Town being unable to deliver treated water in sufficient quantity or quality to its customers. Emergency conditions have a finite duration linked to a schedule agreed upon by both Parties to fix, repair, or replace the root cause of the emergency condition and return the system to normal service. Until such time as the agreement contemplated in paragraph 3.01 is entered into by the parties, the Town may provide the District with water from the following sources for emergency purposes: the Colorado -Big Thompson Project, the Windy Gap Project or any other source which can be treated by the District and is reasonably acceptable to the District.

Lavern and Karen Hamilton, the owners of the remainder of the property which is not District Property and which was originally included within the boundaries of the District (the "Hamilton Property"), have sought the exclusion of the Hamilton Property from the boundaries of the District. Pursuant to Article III of the Service Plan, no changes in the boundaries of the District shall be made unless the prior written approval of the Town Board of Trustees has been obtained as part of a Service Plan modification, as provided therein. The purpose of the Second Amendment is to set forth in the Service Plan that the Town approves the exclusion of the Hamilton Property from the boundaries of the District and limit the District's boundaries after the exclusion of the Hamilton Property to only the District Property. The modifications of the District Service Plan necessary to update the Service Plan to address the effect of this exclusion and the continuation of the District are also addressed in this Second Amendment. All future assumptions regarding the District shall be without the Hamilton Property and this Second Amendment is being submitted for approval to provide for the exclusion of the Hamilton Property, update the boundaries and financing plan for the District and obtain the necessary consent and approval of the Town to the exclusion of the Hamilton Property.

NEW LANGUAGE FOR SECTION III OF SERVICE PLAN The following language restates and replaces Article III of the Service Plan in its entirety: "Ill. BOUNDARIES, POPULATION AND VALUATION The District, as originally organized, consisted of approximately One Hundred Forty-five (145) acres located entirely within the boundaries of the Town. The District, upon the exclusion of the Hamilton Property, shall consist of the District Property within the Saddleback PUD containing approximately Forty-five and Ninety -throe Hundredths (45.93) acres located entirely within the boundaries of the Town, as more particularly set forth in the legal description attached hereto as Exhibit A and as shown on the boundary map, attached hereto as Exhibit B. a. Exclusion of Hamilton_Pir_oyer_ty. On December 5, 2012, the Board of Directors of the District (the "Board") after proper public notice held a public hearing to consider a petition for exclusion of certain property located within the District's boundaries owned by Lavern and Karen Hamilton. The Hamilton are the one hundred percent (100%) owners of that certain property requested for exclusion from the District representing approximately One Hundred acres (the "Hamilton Property"). The District's Board on December 5, 2012 approved a Resolution and Order of Exclusion of the Hamilton Property from the District's boundaries, subject to the District obtaining the written approval of the Town Board of Trustees (the "Exclusion Resolution"). b. Development Assumptions. Upon the exclusion of the Hamilton Property, the remainder of the property comprising the District Property will be developed for approximately one hundred nineteen (119) single family homes by MSP or its affiliates, heirs, successors or assigns (collectively the "Developer"). The population of the District at full build -out is estimated to be Two Hundred 5 Ninety-eight (298) people or 2.5 persons per single family equivalent unit. It is acknowledged that Town development standards, requirements and approvals may affect the foregoing numbers of anticipated homes and population. The estimated assessed value in 2019 at build -out is Four Million, Two Hundred Sixty-three Thousand, Three Hundred Seventy-six Dollars ($4,263,376). The property is currently zoned PUD-RA, for specific residential uses.

Any such approval may be granted or denied by resolution of the Board of Trustees, in its discretion. Any inclusion may be on the condition that all property in the District at the time of such inclusion remains in the District, and upon such other conditions as the Town may impose. Any exclusion may be on the condition that there is no detriment to the remaining residents and taxpayers within the District, or to the District's bondholders, and on such other conditions as the Town may impose. No changes in the boundaries of the District shall be made, unless the prior written approval of the Board of Trustees has been obtained as part of a Service Plan modification, as provided herein. The Town by its approval of this Second Amendment to Service Plan approves the exclusion of the Hamilton Property from the boundaries of the District, as fiuther described in the Exclusion Resolution" 6 IV. ARTICLE IV "DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED FACILITIES" The following language restates and replaces the first paragraph of Article IV, Section (a) of the Service Plan in its entirety: "a. Tune of Improvements. The District will provide for the financing, construction, acquisition and installation of public improvements consisting of streets, traffic safety control, street lighting, sanitary sewer, water, landscaping, storm drainage, and park and recreation improvements and facilities (as the foregoing terms are used in § 32-1-1004(2), C.R.S. and the sections referenced therein) within the boundaries of the District. The District is also authorized to finance park, recreation or other capital improvements of the Town that are identified by the Town and located outside of the District, as provided in Article V.c. below. With the exception of those public improvements specifically identified in and authorized by this Service Plan, the District shall not finance, construct, acquire or install any improvements outside the boundaries of the District unless: (1) such improvements are necessary to connect service for the District to the facilities of the Town or other entities involved in providing services to the District; and (2) such proposed improvements are approved in advance by resolution of the Board of Trustees." V. UPDATED CAPITAL COST ESTIMATES FOR THE DISTRICT The original Service Plan approved by Resolution 02-41 adopted by the Board of Trustees on September 26, 2002 estimated a total combined cost of public improvements for the District as Eight Million Nine Hundred Fifty-one Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-seven Dollars and Forty-four Cents ($8,951,927.44). This total estimated cost of public improvements for the District formerly referenced in Article IV.a and Article V.a. is replaced with the updated Capital Plan attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit D, which includes the costs 7 incurred on behalf of the development and expected capital improvement costs needed for the District Property in the total amount of Four Million, Two Hundred Forty Thousand, Two Hundred Thirty-seven Dollars and Thirteen Cents ($4,240,237.92), which amount is substituted as the combined total estimated costs of improvements. VI. ARTICLE rV(c) "Anticipated Development" The following language restates and replaces Article IV, Section (c) of the Service Plan in its entirety: "¢. Anticipated Development. The Developer anticipates total build -out to occur in two phases, with the construction of twenty-six (26) single-family residences in 2015, thirty-nine (39) single-family residences in 2016, and fifty-four (54) single-family residences in 2017, subject to final design and development approval by the Town. It is acknowledged by the Developer that Town development standards and requirements may affect the foregoing numbers of anticipated homes and the foregoing anticipated build -out schedule." VII. ARTICLE IV The following language shall amend Article IV to add new Sections (1), (m), and (n) as follows: "I. Other Services. Unless such facilities and services are provided pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement with the Town, the District shall not be authorized to plan for, design, acquire, construct, install, relocate, redevelop, finance, operate, maintain or provide: (a) any television relay and translation facilities and services, other than for the trenching for and installation of conduit as a part of a construction project; (b) any mosquito control facilities and services; (c) 8 any solid waste disposal, collection and transportation facilities and services; and (d) any security, covenant enforcement and design review services. m. Subdlstricts & Other Entities. No subdistricts shall be created by the District pursuant to Section 32-1- 1101(1.5), C.R.S. without approval from the Town Board of Trustees by resolution. The Board of Trustees may elect to treat the organization of any such subdistrict(s) as a material modification of the Service Plan. The District shall not create any corporation to issue bonds on the District's behalf. n. Bankrupky MmitatiRn Subject to federal bankruptcy law, all of the limitations contained in this Service Plan, including, but not limited to, those pertaining to the maximum mill levy have been established under the authority of the Town to approve a Service Plan with conditions pursuant to Section 32-1-204.5, C.R.S. It is expressly intended that such limitations: (a) Shall not be subject to set -aside for any reason or by any court of competent jurisdiction, absent a Service Plan Amendment; and (b) Are, together with all other requirements of Colorado law, included in the "political or governmental powers" reserved to the State under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (1 i U.S.C.) Section 903, and are also included in the "regulatory or electoral approval necessary under applicable nonbankruptcy law" as required for confirmation of a Chapter 9 Bankruptcy Plan under Bankruptcy code Section 943(b)(6). Any debt issued with a pledge or which results in a pledge that exceeds the maximum mill levy shall be deemed a material departure from this Service Plan pursuant to 9 Section 32-1-207, C.R.S., and the Town shall be entitled to all remedies available under state and local law to enjoin such actions of the District." VIH. ARTICLE V "GENERAL" A. The following language restates and replaces Article V, Section (a) of the Service Plan in its entirety: "a. General. The provision of improvements and facilities by the District will be financed through the issuance of general obligation bonds, developer bonds, or revenue bonds (the "District Bonds"), secured by the ad valorem taxing authority of the District and other District revenues including revenue received from the Firestone Urban Renewal Authority ("FURA'), limited as discussed below. The Financing Plan anticipates the issuance of one or more series of District Bonds. The term of any District Bonds issued by the District shall not exceed thirty (30) years. The total estimated cost of the improvements exceeds the debt capacity of the District. The District has the capacity to issue District Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of approximately Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000). Accordingly, it is currently anticipated that the bond proceeds will be insufficient to allow for repayment of a portion of the capital infrastructure costs of the District, which will be contributed by the Developer or other sources; however, if the financing capability of the District changes and will permit repayment in the future (due to higher than anticipated assessed values, lower interest rates, greater sources of revenue to the District, or any other circumstance), the District may agree to repay the Developer for unreimbursed public infrastructure costs so long as the District has the capacity to snake such payments without exceeding the debt limit or Mill Levy Limit provided in this Service Plan. Payments made to the Developer by the District are expected to be principally from Bond 10 proceeds and shall not exceed the amount advanced by the Developer for capital costs of District public improvements. The Financial Planners and Consultant's Forecasted Cash Surplus Balance and Cash Receipts and Disbursements in ExWbit E do not include the abov"escribed Developer contribution to the costs of public improvements or other alternative sources of revenue which may be used to finance capital improvement costs related to the District. In addition, to the extent additional funds or revenues other than the District's own ad valorem property tax mill levy, including revenues received from the FURA are provided or made available to the District for funding of public improvements directly or indirectly constructed, financed, or benefitting the District constituents, those revenues may be utilized for financing public improvements consistent with the provisions of this Service Plan and applicable law." IX. ARTICLE V "DEBT ISSUANCE" Article V, Section (b) of the Service Plan, entitled "Debt issuance", shall be replaced in its entirety with the following: "b. Debt Issuance. The District may issue District bonds in one or more series after approval of the Second Amendment and completion and Conditional Acceptance by the Town of the public improvements required to service the property within each respective development phase within the District. Additional District Bonds may be issued in the future consistent with and in compliance with the Service Plan as amended, Town Code and applicable law, but not in excess of the debt limitation as authorized by the Service Plan. (i) Maximum Debt Authorization. 11 The District intends to issue District Bonds in one or more series in the aggregate principal amount of approximately Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000); provided, however, that if other forms of revenue sharing, cost sharing or cost reimbursement becomes available and contributed to, by or on behalf of the District, or as a District revenue source in the future, the District shall issue debt that is financially feasible and able to be discharged pursuant to the parameters provided in this Service Plan. The aggregate principal amount of all general obligation bonds, debt and forms of borrowing by the District, throughout the District's existence and regardless of subsequent payments and discharges, shall be limited to a total of Four Million, Four Hundred Thousand Dollars (S4,400,000) unless otherwise approved by the Town (the "debt limit"); except to the extent otherwise provided in Article V.g. with respect to refunding bonds or revenue bonds based upon revenue other than District mill levy or specific ownership taxes or funds received from the FURA and in Article VA., with respect to construction financing notes (i.e., notes or other financial obligations, if any, issued by the District to the Developer to evidence the District's obligation to repay the Developer's advances or financing of capital improvements or for construction costs). (ii) Developer Bonds. The District shall be allowed to issue Developer Bonds after approval of the District Service Plan Second Amendment and completion and Conditional Acceptance by the Town of the public improvements required to service property within each respective development phase within the District. The Developer shall be permitted to issue Developer Bonds in the form of "Draw Down Bonds" which allow for the issuance of bonds in one or more issuances, each of which correspond to an amount not 12 exceeding the costs incurred for the phase of development for which public improvements are complete and have received Conditional Acceptance by the Town. The Draw Down Bonds initial draw shall not exceed the costs incurred to complete the public improvements constructed to date and/or needed for the completed phase of construction which received Conditional Acceptance by the Town. That portion of the Bonds ` attributable to the uncompleted phase of construction will not be permitted to be issued until the public improvements are constructed in accordance with approved development plans for the remaining phase(s) and have received Conditional Acceptance by the Town. Any District Bonds secured by the ad valorem taxing authority of the District and other District revenues, including revenue received from the 1~URA, may be issued in the future consistent with and in compliance with the Service Plan (as may be amended from time to time), in compliance with Town Code and applicable law, but not in excess of the debt limit as authorized by this Service Plan. Developer bonds shall be subordinate to any other District secured debt. All issuance of District Bonds and all other forms of borrowing by the District, throughout the District's existence and regardless of subsequent payments and discharges, shall be limited to the debt limit provided in Section V.b.; except to the extent otherwise provided in Article V.g. with respect to refunding bonds and in Article V.h. with respect to construction financing notes (i.e., notes or other financial obligations, if any, issued by the District to the Developer to evidence the District's obligation to repay the Developer's advances for construction, organization and formation costs). Any other Developer reimbursement notes or debt shall be subordinate to any other District Bonds. Developer Bonds shall be issued only to 13 the Developer, or one of their related affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, heirs and assigns. (iii) Revenue Bonds. Revenue bonds are bonds payable in whole or in part from revenues other than the District's ad valorem property taxes and specific ownership taxes. As the District is within the FURA, bonds which are issued by the District which are secured by the District mill levy, when passed through the FURA back to the District by means of the FURA IGA referenced below are considered revenue bonds. As this pass -through of FURA revenue is contemplated by the Town and the District to be received by the District and utilized in paying for any District Bonds, this type of revenue bond is authorized by this Service Plan and would not be considered a material modification of the Service Plan. The District shall not issue revenue bonds secured by revenues other than ad valorem property taxes, specific ownership taxes, or revenue received from the FURA without the written consent of the Town. Prior to issuing any non-FURA or non - taxed based revenue bonds, the District shall submit all relevant details of such issuance to the Town Board of Trustees, which may elect to treat the issuance of the revenue bonds as a material modification of the Service Plan. If it is determined by the Board of Trustees that the issuance of revenue bonds, except as set forth above, constitutes a material modification of the Service Plan, the District shall proceed to amend the Service Plan in accordance with Section 32-1-207, C.R.S. prior to issuing any revenue bonds. If it is determined by the Board of Trustees that such issuance does not constitute a material modification of the Service Plan, the Board of Trustees may issue a resolution to that 14 effect, after receipt of which the District may proceed with such issuance without need for approval of a material modification of the Service Plan. (iv). Bond Issuance. The District may issue District Bonds after approval of the Second Amendment and completion and Conditional Acceptance by the Town of the public improvements required to service the property within each respective phase of construction within the District. The Developer expects that issuance of such District Bonds as provided herein would be made on the basis that there is a reasonable likelihood that projected future development will occur and will result in increased assessed valuation levels to support payment of such bonds within a thirty (30) year period of time from the date of issuance. General obligation bonds will be issued only after such time as: (1) the net effective interest rate (calculated as defined in Section 32-1-103(12), C.R.S.) to be borne by the District for the bonds does not exceed a reasonable current interest rate using the limitations as provided in the Service Plan; (2) the structure of debt including maturities and early redemption provisions, is reasonable considering the financial circumstances of the District; and (3) there has been completion and Conditional Acceptance by the Town of all public improvements as referenced above in Article V.b.ii. As set forth in Exhibit C, the District's Financial Planners and Consultants have indicated that issuance of certificates of occupancy and building permits are generally accepted lending criteria for special district debt, and that necessary development thresholds will evidence sufficient development activity within the District to support repayment of the corresponding debt." 15 X. ARTICLE V "REQUIRED TRANSFER OF BOND PROCEEDS TO THE TOWN" Article V, Section (c) of the Service Plan, entitled "Required Transfers of Bond Proceeds to Town", shall be replaced in its entirety with the following: "c. Reouhred Transfers of Capital Improvement F - t�wL The District will pay to the Town for deposit into the Town's capital improvements fund a total of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), which amount shall be paid to the Town at the time of the first bond issuance as a condition of the issuance and delivery of any District Bonds, including Developer bonds, or the issuance of any construction financing notes to the Developer, but no later than December 17, 2017. The transfer of capital improvement funds totaling Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall be paid at the time of the first bond issuance but no later than December 17, 2017. District Bonds shall not be issued prior to the Conditional Aoceptance for the phases of construction being financed by the District. With Town approval, such contribution may alternatively be paid by the Developer to the Town but, in such case the Town and the Developer will amend the Subdivision Agreements for Saddleback PUD First Filing and Filing No. 2 respectively to provide that this Town contribution shall be paid to the Town's capital improvement fund directly by the Developer and shall be used by the Town to finance improvements (whether inside or outside the boundaries of the District) that the Town and the District would otherwise be empowered to construct, and for which the District is authorized to incur indebtedness (i.e., streets, street lighting, traffic safety controls, sanitary sewer, water, landscaping, storm drainage or park and recreation improvements and facilities), which improvements shall be of benefit to the Town and the District. The District acknowledges that the foregoing provisions for payment of this Town contribution to the Town's capital improvements fund for capital improvements are material 16 considerations in, and conditions of, the Town's approval of this Second Amendment, and the Town has relied thereon in approving the Service Plan as amended by this Second Amendment. The District shall not issue District Bonds, including developer bonds, or any construction financing notes to Developer without there having ban delivered to the Town funds equivalent to the capital improvement contribution for bonds issued totaling Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), and such delivery of funds to the Town concurrently with or prior to such issuance of the first set of bonds shall be a condition of issuance for such District Bonds, including developer bonds, or any District construction financing notes issued to Developer." XI. ARTICLE 'Vl "OTHER FINANCIAL RESTRICTIONS, LIMITATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS" The first paragraph of Article V, Section (d) of the Service Plan, entitled "Other Financial Restrictions, Limitations and Requirements", is replaced to reduce the debt limitation to match the current amended financing plan. Such first paragraph of Article V, Section (d) shall be replaced in its entirety with the following: "d. Other financial Restrictions, Limitations and Requirements. The District shall request voter authorization for such amount of general obligation debt as the District deems sufficient to allow for allocation of the amounts deposited in the Town's capital improvements fund (as described in Article V.c, above) among the District's powers, unforeseen contingencies, increases in construction costs due to inflation and all costs of issuance, including capitalized interest, reserve funds, discounts, legal fees and other incidental costs of issuance; provided, however, that the amount of general obligation debt (together with construction financing notes) actually issued by the District shall not exceed the debt limitation of Four Million, Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,400,000) as stated in Article V.b., above. All bonds of the District will be sold for cash. The authorized maximum voted 17 interest rate is fifteen percent (15%) per annum and the maximum underwriting discount is four percent (4%) of bond principal. The actual interest rates and discounts within sucb maximum amounts, will be determined at the time the bonds are sold by the District and will reflect market conditions at the time of sale; provided, however, that the actual interest rate shall not exceed Five Hundred (500) basis points above the thirty (30) year 'AAA' Municipal Market Data rate in effect at the time the bonds are sold. The interest rate shall be a simple interest rate without compounding for unpaid principal or interest." XII. ARTICLE VI "INVESTOR SUITABILITY" Article V, Section (0 of the Service Plan, entitled "Investor Suitability", is revised to eliminate subsection (1) and the opening phrase of subsection (2) and it shall be replaced in its entirety with the following: 'Y. Investor Saltabtllty. 1. Developer Bonds shall be issued only to MSP Corporation, a Colorado corporation, its affiliates, subsidiaries, heirs, successors or assigns (collectively, the "Developer").

The mill levy imposed by the District for debt service and for administration, warranty maintenance and other operating expense purposes shall not exceed fifty (50.000) mills, except for Gallagher adjustments permitted under Article V.e., above. Although the mill levy imposed may vary depending on the phasing of facilities anticipated to be funded, it is estimated that a mill levy of approximately tiifty (50.000) mills will produce revenue sufficient to support debt service and administration, warranty maintenance and other operating expenses throughout the repayment period. The District is not authorized to impose any taxes other than ad valorem property taxes as provided in this Service Plan. The District may be authorized to impose fees, users charges or other taxes only upon the prior written approval of the Board of'I iustees." XIV.

The estimate was based upon the following assumption: 1. The quantities and cost for each item are based upon the costs Incurred to date for the work that has been completed and bids received for the remaining work to complete. Based upon this assumption, I believe the Public Improvements Estimate of Probable Construction Costs contained within the Second Amendment to the Service Plan for Greens Metropolitan District is reasonable for the public Improvements portion of this project as shown on the plans to be approved for the property within the revised boundaries of the Greens Metropolitan District.

CoIorado Blvd., Ste. 940N Denver, CO 80246 Sent Via Email Scope and Limitations of En a e n We have compiled the accompanying estimate of potential bonding capacity for the proposed The Greens Metropolitan District ("the District'). A compilation is iimitod to presenting information and assumptions that are those of the proponents of the District, and does not include independently verifying the accuracy of the information or assumptions. The following key assumptions have been provided by MSP Corporation, and form the basis of the estimate of potential bonding capacity for the District. 1. A total of 119 homes with average market values in the amount of $432,773 are expected to be completed at full buildout. It is assumed that the market values of the homes will increase by a factor of4% every other year as of June 30, 2018. 2. 26 homes are expected to be completed during 2015, 39 homes are expected to be completed in 2016, and 54 homes are expected to be completed in 2017. 3. The debt service mill levy is expected to be 45.0 mills and will be Gallagherized (i.e., if the current 7.96% residential assessment rate decreases then the assumed 45.0 debt service mill levy will automatically increase to onset any potential loss in property tax revenues). The combined debt service and operating mill levy will be 50.0 mills. 4. The bonds will be issued as limited tax general obligation cash flow bonds and are expected to be purchased by the Developer of The Greens. Mr. Marcus Palkowitsh April 6, 2015 Page ii Assumptions (continued) 5. The bonds will bear intcrest at 4,5% and will be amortized not longer than 30 years alter the issuance of the bonds. 6. Administrative costs such as audit, accounting, legal, and insurance are assumed to be flinded from an operating (General Fund) mill levy not to exceed 5.0 mills. 7. Specific Ownership Tax revenues have been calculated based on applying a factor of 8.0% to annual property tax revenues. 8. It is assumed that the County Treasurer's collection fee will be l .5% property tax revenues. 9. Interest earnings on accumulated funds available are assumed to average 0.25% annually. Estimate OfPoteutia ondin CR ac1ty Based upon the above assumptions, the attached Exhibit I indicates a potential bonding capacity of approximately $4,000,000 (assumed to be issued December 1, 2017) once a1I 119 homes are completed. This estimate assumes average home value inflation of slightly less than 2% per year beginning in 2018. If the annual rate of inflation exceeds 2% per year the amount of bonds that could be supported would exceed $4,000,000; conversely if average home appreciation is less than 2% annually, it might not be possible to amortize the assumed $4,000,000 bond issue over a 30 year period. As previously stated, the estimated $4,000,000 of bonding capacity assumes cash flow bonds are purchased by the Developer of The Greens. We have also identified that approximately $20,000 of administrative (General Fund) property tax revenues would be generated annually at full buiidout assuming a mill levy of 5.0. It is possible that operating advances from the Developer might be required until the assessed valuation increases to a level that generates sufficient operating property tax revenues to fund administrative costs. Mr. Marcus Palkowitsh April 6, 2015 Page iii Certifleation Based upon the assumptions disclosed above, which are those of the Developer and have not been independently verified or evaluated by Stan Bernstein and Associates, Inc., the District is expected to retire all debt referenced in the Financial Model, within the restrictions set forth in the Service Plan, including but not limited to the Maximum Debt Mill levy and the Maximum Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term. isclaimer The assumptions disclosed in the Financial Model are those of the Developer and have not been independently reviewed by Stan Bernstein and Associates, Inc. Those assumptions identified are believed to be the significant factors in determining financial feasibility; however, they are likely not to be all-inclusive. There will usuapy be differences between forecasted and actual results, because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material. Key assumptions — like those relating to market values of real property improvements and the buildout schedule of such property — are particularly sensitive in terms of the timing necessary to create the tax base for the District. A small variation in these variables, and to their timing, can have a large effect on the forecasted results. There Is a high probability that the forecasted results will differ from realized future tax base factors and such variations can be material. Additionally, other key assumptions relating to inflation, administrative, and operating costs may, and likely will, vary from those assumed. Because Stan Bernstein and Associates, Inc. has not independently evaluated or reviewed the assumptions that the Financial Model is based upon, we do not vouch for the achievability (and disclaim any opinion) of the information presented on the accompanying Exhibit I and Schedule 1. Furthermore, because of the inherent nature of future events, which are subject to change and variation as events and circumstances change, the actual results may vary materially from the results presented on Exhibit I and Schedule 1. Stan Bornstein and Associates, Inc. has no responsibility or obligation to update this information or this Financial Model for events occurring after the date of this report Very truly yours, Amy Greer (for the firm) Stan Bernstein and Associates, Inc.

Any revisions made to an expense report must be initialed by the person making the change. If the Finance Department makes a change to an expense report, the official or employee will be notified. The Internal Revenue Code requires that reimbursable expenditures be supported by adequate records showing clearly that'they were: • Ordinary and necessary. • Reasonable in amount. • Incurred for a valid business purpose. To meet these requirements, the following information must be provided for an expense to qualify for reimbursement: • Identify the official or employee requesting reimbursement. • Identify the vendor, customer, contractor, supplier or other person or business to which the expenditure was paid. • State the business purpose for the expenditure. • State the identity and business relationship of any others participating in the event covered by the expenditure. • Attach the original itemized receipts (e.g. hotel bills, airline passenger receipts, E-ticket confirmation, meal receipts, automobile rental invoices, parking receipts, toll receipts, telephone bills). Include the original credit card receipt, cash receipt, original itemized monthly credit card statement, or a copy of the canceled check as proof of payment. Lost Receipts In the unusual circumstance that a receipt is lost or was not obtained, (i.e. parking meters, tolls, tips) the official or employee must complete a section of the expense form detailing these expenditures before that expense can be considered for reimbursment. This section requires the same information to support the expenditure as that listed above, including the identity of the individuals in the party, business purpose, and the amount of the expenditure. For items that were paid for with a credit card, attach a copy of the monthly billing statement in which the charge was included. Cellular Phone Expenses Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed for personal cell phone use for Town business, with a maximum of $20.00 per month, to employees who have submitted their personal number to be published for business use. Proper documentation will still be required to justify receiving reimbursement up to this limit, including a copy of the bill showing the service dates and monthly charge. The cost of purchasing a cellular phone will not be reimbursed. Civic Organizations, Charitable Organization and Clubs Membership fees to civic or charitable organizations or athletic or social clubs are NOT reimbursable.

Air arrangements can be made through the Town Clerk or Senior Administrative Specialist — HR. Internet and direct airline reservations are also acceptable, if coordinated with the staff noted above. When booking air travel, cost savings opportunities are increased when a traveler provides general departure and arrival times instead of specifying certain carriers or flight numbers. Significant savings are realized by advance planning. Travelers are expected to exercise good business judgment and planning to avoid last-minute ticket purchases. All officials and employees will travel coach class. The following guidelines apply to airline travel: • The cost of purchasing upgrade coupons is not reimbursable. • To take advantage of airline discounts, reservations are to be made as far in advance as possible. + Nonrefundable or penalty tickets provide considerable savings opportunities and should be considered when it is highly unlikely that an itinerary will change. • Travelers should request airline reservations according to approximate necessary departure or arrival times rather than by specific airlines or flight numbers to allow for the lowest logical or negotiated fare for appropriately timed flights. • Travelers should consider the use of alternate airports when the fare differential represents significant savings. • If additional costs are incurred because of changes in travel plans, such costs are reimbursable by the Town if the reason for the changes is business related. If the reason for changes is personal convenience, the costs will NOT be reimbursed. • Travelers may keep for their own use any mileage awards received from frequent flier programs accrued from Town travel. In no case, may an official or employee arrange a more expensive flight or circuitous routing to accumulate mileage points. • Report lost or stolen tickets immediately, so a lost ticket application can be processed. The use of E-tickets is highly recommended. • If a trip is cancelled or changed, and the traveler is in possession of unused tickets, the traveler is responsible for returning them, in a timely manner, to the airline for credit. Automobile Travel Expenses Personal Auto Use Officials and employees who use their personal vehicle for authorized Town business will receive the current IRS allowable reimbursement for business miles. The current reimbursement rate can be found on www.IRS.gov. Any highway tolls or parking fees incurred during business travel are also reimbursable. Mileage from the employee's home to regular assigned work is not reimbursed. If an employee drives directly from home to another work assignment in a different location or attends a training class/seminar, these miles will be reimbursed. Mileage incurred while attending social events sponsored by the Town, its contractors, or vendors is NOT reimbursable. A Mileage log must be included with your expense report.

Reimbursable items include the actual cost of the rental, tolls and gasoline purchases. Although reimbursable, one-way rentals should be avoided and must be specifically explained in the documentation attached to the expense report. Insurance coverage provided by car and vehicle rental companies should NOT be purchased when traveling on business. Both the vehicle and the Town official/employee are covered by insurance purchased by the Town. Please inspect the car for damage prior to leaving the rental car lot and notate clearly on the rental agreement with the rental car company employee signoff.

"No-show" charges are not reimbursable without the approval of your Branch Head or designee and the Director of Corporate Services or his or her designee, and generally are not reimbursable unless the reason for the "no-show" is business related or due to emergency or other unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances. Laundry and dry cleaning may be reimbursed for stays of 4 or more days at a maximum of $8 per day. The following expenses are considered personal and are NOT reimbursable: • Salon, spa or personal grooming services, such as barbers, beauticians, manicurists, shoe shines, or massages. • Honor bar charges or fees to use extra -cost facilities such as health clubs. • Additional charges for room upgrades, poolside rooms, or special floors. • In -room movies. • Laundry or dry-cleaning services (less than 4 days). Meals Business Activities The Town will reimburse an official or employee reasonable expenses .for meals when he or she is conducting Town business activities. (See also entertainment).

If several officials and/or employees dine together when they are conducting Town business activities, only one official or employee should pay the bill, and ONLY that person should submit an expense report for reimbursement, listing the names of all officials and employees covered by the charge. Business meals should be reasonable. All parties included in the business meal should be listed on or with the receipt. Travel Meals — Overnight Stay Officials and employees in travel status on Town business will be reimbursed for actual expenses, but not more than the per diem rate for meals. Reimbursements will be made in accordance with the Federal State Department per diem daily amounts as published on the GSA website. Per Diem rates vary by state, city and county. For a list of current per diem rates refer to www.gsa.gov, Policy & Regulations > Travel.

For example, the maximum per diem for meals and incidental expenses, including taxes and tips as of January 2011 in Washington DC $71; Denver $66; Dallas $71; and San Diego $71. If meals are pre -paid by the Town (i.e. as part of a conference registration) or when meals are paid by any other source such as vendors, the per diem must be pro -rated by deducting the appropriate amount of the meal as listed at the "meals and incidental expense breakdown" link found at the GSA web site. For example, the per diem for San Diego is $71 and the breakdown is $12 breakfast, $18 lunch, $36 dinner, $5 incidentals. If travel days are less than a full day, the per diem for those days is pro -rated according to the following table: Time Interval Departure Return Before 11:00 am Full Day Breakfast Only 11:00 am — 3:00 pm Lunch & Dinner Breakfast & Lunch 3:00 pm -- 8:00 pm Dinner Only Full Da After 8:00 pm Incidental Amount Only Full Da Travel begins when the employee leaves her/his home or office for the trip destination.

PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS DAY OF , 2015 ATTEST: F�REST� QwN � C? tti ,,;;....COY TOWN OF FIRESTONE, COLORADO Paul Sorensen, Mayor Cari edina, Town Clerk TOWN OF FIRESTONE INVESTMENT POLICY POLICY It is the policy of the Town of Firestone ("the Town") to invest public funds in a manner that will provide preservation of capital, meet the daily liquidity needs of the Town, diversify the Town's investments, conform to all local and state statutes governing the investment of public funds, and generate market rates of return. This Investment Policy addresses the methods, procedures and practices which must be exercised to ensure effective and judicious fiscal and investment management of the Town's funds. It replaces any previous investment policy or investment procedures of the Town. SCOPE This Investment Policy shall apply to all funds accounted for in the Town's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Cash may be pooled for investment purposes. The investment income derived from the pooled investment account (as well as year-end calculated gain or loss on investments) shall be allocated to the contributing funds based upon the proportion of the respective balances relative to the total pooled balance in the investment portfolio. Interest earnings shall be distributed to the individual Town funds on a monthly basis. The investment income from investment of cash which is not part of the pooled account shall be distributed to the contributing fund. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES The Town's principal investment objectives are: • Preservation of capital and protection of investment principal. • Maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated cash flows. • Attainment of a market rate of return. • Diversification to avoid incurring unreasonable market risks. • Conformance with all applicable Town policies, State statutes and Federal regulations. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY The Town of Firestone Financial Planning and Analysis Director, who performs the duties of Town Treasurer is vested with responsibility for managing the Town's investment program and for implementing this Investment Policy. The Financial Planning and Analysis Director may delegate the authority to conduct investment transactions and to manage the operation of the investment portfolio to other specifically authorized staff members. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as expressly provided under the terms of this Investment Policy. The Financial Planning and Analysis Director shall establish procedures and internal controls for the operation of the Town's investment program, designed to prevent loss of public funds due to fraud, error, misrepresentation and imprudent actions. The Financial Planning and Analysis Director within the Director's procurement authority may engage the support services of outside investment advisors with respect to its investment program, so long as it can be demonstrated that these services produce a net financial advantage or necessary financial protection of the Town's financial resources. PRUDENCE The standard of prudence to be used for managing the Town's investment program is the "prudent investor" standard applicable to a fiduciary, which states that a prudent investor "shall exercise the judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which men of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of the property of another, not in regard to speculation but in regard to the permanent disposition of funds, considering the probable income as well as the probable safety of capital." (Colorado Revised Statutes 15-1-304, Standard for Investments.) The Town's overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The Town recognizes that no investment is totally without risk and that its investment activities are a matter of public record. Accordingly, the Town recognizes that occasional measured losses may occur in a diversified portfolio and shall be considered within the context of the overall portfolio's return, provided that adequate diversification has been implemented and that the sale of a security is in the best long-term interest of the Town. The Financial Planning and Analysis Director and other authorized persons acting in accordance with established procedures and exercising good faith and due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments and any deviations from expectations are reported to the Town Board of Trustees in the next monthly financial report.

The Financial Planning and Analysis Director shall disclose any such interest he or she has to the Town of Firestone Investment Policy Page 2 Board of Trustees.

In order to address local desires, community issues and needs should be addressed locally. State and federal government interference can undermine local control. Therefore, the Town: • Urges state and federal officials to respect Colorado's tradition of local control and allow municipal officials to address local problems without interference from the state and federal government. • Urges congress and the executive branch to respect the roles and responsibilities of state and local governments and similarly urges state officials to avoid preempting local authority. • Supports state enabling legislation that provides statutory and home rule municipalities with authority and flexibility to address local needs. • Recognizes the desire of the citizens statewide and in the Town and many local communities to establish mechanisms for local control and opposes state action that attempts to weaken local control. authority and flexibility. BUDGET The Town opposes state and federal mandates that are not funded by those levels of government. Managing scarce resources is difficult at every level of government. The Town supports intergovernmental partnerships and collaborative problem solving. We are not in a position to be able to absorb costs of programs mandated by federal and state governments. HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORTATION FUNDING Transportation is priority. The Town advocates for the development of regional transportation funding sources to assist with the solutions to the interstate and state highway infrastructure deficiencies. TRANSPORTATION The Town supports advancements in the regional and local public transportation network and views such improvements vital to its economic development efforts. The Town also advocates for creative solutions, strategic partnerships. and energy efficiency in all aspects of transportation needs. EMERGENCY SERVICES The Town supports the uniform delivery ofemergency services to the community to prevent overlapping services from area providers, confusion during times of emergencies and double taxation to residents and land owners. The Town also recognizes the need for close cooperative efforts at all levels of government and supports increased funding to assist local government and first responder responsibilities. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION Citizens are best served when officials of federal, state and local government (including municipalities, counties, special districts and school districts) respect the roles of each entity and work toward common solutions. Therefore, the Town: • Supports increased dialogue and cooperation among federal, state and local officials and the development of cooperative intergovernmental solutions to common problems WATER RESOURCES Firestone supports a diverse water portfolio. There are several water issues of importance to the Town. Basin of Origin Any transfer of native flows from Northern Colorado to other basins must compensate to the native basin. Any basin of origin bill must not unduly inhibit the Town's ability to acquire and use C-BT or other water rights in the Town's water supply system. Water Quality Any bill concerning water quality must not infringe on the Town's ability to seek protection of its water rights. Water Supply Development Firestone would likely support bills designed to encourage water supply development within the existing framework of the Colorado water law. Supply encouragement could take the form of financial assistance or streamlined approval processes for new water storage projects. Public Trust Bills Firestone is concerned about potentially harmful changes to the existing water law, including those designed to override the prior appropriation doctrine. Efforts to revise the administration of water rights radically or otherwise change the stream flow regime for rivers could damage Firestone's critical water supply planning efforts. ENERGY DEVELOPMENT The "town supports responsible energy development and strong, sustainable energy partnerships that balances both the land and mineral owner's rights in a congruent manner that promotes local control and protects the community health, welfare and safety. TAX POLICY Sales and Use Taxes The primary revenue sources for municipalities are local sales and use taxes. Statewide, municipalities generate more than $5 in these takes to every $1 of property taxes. Sales and use taxes have enabled municipalities to fund public services and improvements and keep municipal property taxes relatively low. Appropriate actions at federal, state and local levels should preserve or enhance these local revenues. Therefore. the Town: • Supports retention of authority for all municipalities to set local tax rates for statutory municipalities to have meaningful input regarding legislation that may affect their tax bases, and for home rule municipalities to collect their own taxes and determine their own tax bases. • Supports appropriate legislation or court action allowing state and local governments to require businesses to collect state and local sales and use taxes on remote sales. • Opposes legislation that would preempt the authority of state and local governments to apply their sales and use taxes to remote sales. • Supports legislation that allows municipality's local control of auditing sales tax collection. Internet Sales Tax Collection The Town believes that web -based internet businesses should be required to collect local sales taxes in a similar manner as bricks and mortar business in order to create commerce equity. The Town of Firestone does not favor changes to the allocation of motor vehicle use tax. Motor Vehicle use tax is allocated to the Town in which the vehicle is registered so that the tax can support the street maintenance effort where the vehicle impacts the state of roadways. Firestone supports continued utilization of FASTER fees to support local transit and transportation priorities. URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY The Town believes in legislation that provides for a financing mechanism available at the local level to transform unproductive and unsafe property into an asset that creates value for the community is essential. The Town opposes further one -size -fits -all approaches to urban renewal that limit flexibility to cooperate with other taxing districts.

County Road S. Ste. 105 Windsor, Colorado 80528 (T) 970.223.3706 (F) 070,223,3763 www.clearwatercolorado.com EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Town of Firestone is a wonderful community located approximately 30 miles north of Denver along the Colorado Front Range as shown in Figure 1. Firestone is in a desirable location with affordable housing and easy access to Interstate 25, which is why the Town experienced rapid growth prior to and since the last recession. When the economy recovered, the price of the Town's sole source of water, Colorado -Big Thompson (C-BT), skyrocketed. Current -day price for C-BT is approximately $26,500 per unit or nearly $38,000 per acre-foot. Firestone's current water dedication policy only allows for C-BT to be dedicated to meet the raw water requirement, although it does allow developers to bring 75% water and 25% cash. Due to the high demand and high cost of C-BT water, development in Firestone has slowed. Firestone has been strategically pursuing alternatives for potable water. Additionally, the Town is faced with the need to get creative on how best to utilize its existing water supplies. The Town continues to implement sound water conservation practices and keeps its State -approved Municipal Water Efficiency Plan updated. The Town also seeks grant money as needed to implement water -savings activities. Since C-BT is currently the Town's only source of water, the Town is delivering C-BT for all outdoor irrigation. There is a great opportunity for the Town to convert this outdoor irrigation to instead be irrigated with non -potable water, which will free up the Town's C-BT for potable needs and also help to diversify the Town's water right portfolio. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Objective The purpose of this Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan is to provide Town decision makers with information and recommendations related to water rights and storage acquisition to serve its existing and future non -potable needs. To the extent wells can be drilled to serve irrigation demands at parks, this will be evaluated as well. Converting Town irrigation, particularly the large parks and open space areas, to untreated water is wise -water management. Current average water use estimates are approximately 0.5 acre-feet per single family equivalent. This means that two houses can be built for every one acre-foot of irrigation water that is converted from C-BT to some other water source. Key Findings • Firestone provides water to approximately 221 acres of existing park and open space areas (includes both Firestone Owned Property and Privately Owned Property), which equates to 442 acre-feet of water. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone ES- I • In the future, Firestone will provide water to an additional 273 acres of park and open space areas (includes both Firestone Owned Property and Privately Owned Property), which equates to 546 acre-feet of water. • Firestone should acquire water and storage rights to convert the 988 acre-feet of existing and future irrigation demand from irrigation with CBT water to irrigation with non -potable water. • It is estimated Firestone needs a total of 2,000 acre-feet of non -potable storage. • Should Firestone build its own or participate in a regional water treatment plant in the future, some of the acquired non -potable water rights could be strategically converted to potable use. Following is a list of recommended next steps. The intent of this list is to provide the key decision makers an easy reference point upon which to guide the Town by keeping the decision makers on the same page. This chapter should be referenced periodically to ensure the proper steps are taken for successful implementation. 1. Complete Hokestra purchase. Firestone is currently in negotiations with Weld County for a portion of the Hokestra Pit. The Town will seek to purchase Cell 2 with an option to purchase Cell 4 once it is mined. Cell 2 is clay lined and will provide 453 acre-feet of storage. Cell 4 has been line with a slurry wall, but has not been mined yet. Cell 4 will provide approximately 200 acre-feet of additional storage for Firestone. 2. Apply for CWCB loan. The Town should apply for a CWCB low -interest loan to purchase this storage, the water rights to divert to the storage, and the infrastructure needed to fill the storage. 3. Meet with Little Thompson Water District to explore if a potential joint pump station on the St. Vrain River makes sense for both parties. Little Thompson Water District will be supplying the Brookfield subdivision with Windy Gap water. The proposed water supply includes an exchange back from the St. Wain Sanitation District WWTP. This exchange of fully consumable water will likely require a pump station. Firestone will need a pump station to fill Hokestra Pit storage. 4. File for a junior storage right on Hokestra Pit. It will be important that the Town file for a junior storage right on Hokestra Pit in 2015 or 2016. A junior water right will allow diversion and storage within the pit. Stored water can be leased to third parties to generate revenue until the non -potable system is online. 5. Evaluate additional storage options. The Town should evaluate additional opportunities as options to purchase storage become available. The Town may consider the potential storage options presented in Appendix C if additional storage is needed in the future. 6. Meet with owners of potential water rights. The Town should initiate meetings with various owners of water and storage rights. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone E3-2 7. Consider wells in non -potable system. The Town should proceed with investigating the design and feasibility of a non -potable system utilizing wells. As the non -potable system is designed, the Town should consider drilling shallow wells strategically around the Town for irrigation as it makes sense. Test wells should be drilled and a pump test completed to determine if a well at certain locations can produce the needed volume to sustain irrigation at that park or open space area. 8. Complete non -potable system design. With the completion of this plan, the Town's non -potable water infrastructure plan should be updated. The infrastructure plan update can evaluate how the recommended water rights, Hokestra Pit storage, proposed storage at Central Park, and potential well irrigation can work in a comprehensive non -potable system. 9. Develop agreement with St. Vrain Sanitation District. Should any of these supplies be strategically converted to potable use in the future, the Town will want the right to control and use any fully consumable effluent it generates from its water supplies. This fully consumable effluent can be used for augmentation of well pumping, to meet return flow obligations from use of a changed water right, exchanged upstream into Hokestra Pit storage for subsequent use, or exchanged for different water supplies with other water users. An agreement with St. Vrain Sanitation District to recapture the Town's future reusable effluent is vital to the Town's long-term plan. 10. Target acquisition of Tier 1 and Tier 2 water rights in Table 6 (Chapter 3). As lands historically irrigated with any of these water rights annex into the Town, this water should be considered to meet a portion of the raw water requirement. Further, the town should continue to budget and actively acquire these water rights as the negotiations and deals make sense. Before water rights are taken in by the Town, a historical use analysis should be completed to ensure the Town is obtaining a good water right. Many times water rights were used inefficiently in the past and buyers do not get what they paid for. Sound due diligence will be important in these transactions. Further, historical location of use in relation to the Town's other water infrastructure and calling rights on the river will be important to ensure that the Town can replace return flows adequately. 11. Engage a water broker or expert to find available water. The Town should engage a water broker or expert to search for Tier 1 and Tier 2 water rights for sale. 12. Conduct a water quality investigation. Prior to any conversion of non -potable water rights to potential potable water use, a study on water quality, the level of treatment required, and a fully devised plan for proper disposal of brine should be completed, including costs and feasibility.

Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone ii CHAPTER 1 — INTRODUCTION The Town of Firestone is a wonderful community located approximately 30 miles north of Denver along the Colorado Front Range as shown in Figure 1. Firestone is in a desirable location with affordable housing and easy access to Interstate 25, which is why the Town experienced rapid growth prior to and since the last recession. When the economy recovered, the price of the Town's sole source of water, Colorado -Big Thompson (C-BT), skyrocketed. Current -day price for C-BT is approximately $26,500 per unit or nearly $38,000 per acre-foot. Firestone's current water dedication policy only allows for C-BT to be dedicated to meet the raw water requirement, although it does allow developers to bring 75% water and 25% cash. Due to the high demand and high cost of C-BT water, development in Firestone has slowed. Firestone has been strategically pursuing alternatives for potable water. Additionally, the Town is faced with the need to get creative on how best to utilize its existing water supplies. The Town continues to implement sound water conservation practices and keeps its State -approved Municipal Water Efficiency Plan updated. The Town also seeks grant money as needed to implement water -savings activities. Since C-BT is currently the Town's only source of water, the Town is delivering C-BT for all outdoor irrigation. There is a great opportunity for the Town to convert this outdoor irrigation to instead be irrigated with non -potable water, which will free up the Town's C-BT for potable needs and also help to diversify the Town's water right portfolio. The purpose of this Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan is to provide Town decision makers with information and recommendations related to water rights and storage acquisition to serve its existing and future non -potable needs. To the extent wells can be drilled to serve irrigation demands at parks, this will be evaluated as well. Converting Town irrigation, particularly the large parks and open space areas, to untreated water is wise -water management. Current average water use estimates are approximately 0.5 acre-feet per single family equivalent. This means that two houses can be built for everyone one acre-foot of irrigation water that is converted from C-BT to some other water source. TOWN S WATER SOURCES Colorado-Bia Thompson The Town currently owns 5,095 C-BT units. The Town has acquired this water through its raw water dedication policy over the years. Since 1974, water dedication was one C-BT unit per dwelling unit. In the early 2000's, the Town modified the policy and changed multi -family dedication to one-half C-BT unit per dwelling unit. In 2010, Firestone adopted Ordinance 762 that created a Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone graduated dedication for single-family dwelling unit's based on lot size. In 2014, the Town adopted Ordinance 861 that changes the multi -family dedication requirement. A copy of Ordinance 762 and Ordinance 861 is available in Appendix A of this report. Over the years, Firestone has received C-BT water through dedication and is now capped per Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (Northern Water) regulations. Resolution D-962-02-95 from Northern Water outlines limitations on ownership issues and is summarized as follows: For municipalities and domestic water purveyors, the limitation on unit ownership will be calculated and determined as the lesser of the following: 1. (Demand x 2) —(Average Yield of Native Supplies) = Max. No. of C-BT Units Allowed to be Owned or 2. (Demand) — (Firm Yield of Native Water Supplies) = Max. Volume of Firm Yield C-BT Water Allowed to be Owned The maximum number of C-B T units allowed to be owned shall be determined by dividing the volume of C-BT water allowed to be owned by 0.5 for variable -quota contracts and 0.7 for fixed -quota contracts. Demand is based on a 90-year average of per -tap usage times the total number of taps currently supplied and taps committed to supply in the future. This Resolution was established to preserve the C-BT system and prevent speculative purchases of its water. The C-BT system was originally designed as a supplemental supply to native water rights with agriculture as the primary user. The quota was set based on water demand. In a dry year when water demands were high, the quota would be set higher, up to 100%. In a wet year, when native supplies were plentiful and demands are low, the quota would be set lower, e.g., 50%. The years 2002 and 2003 were an exception when, for the first time in the system's history, the quota was set based on limited supply. Because Firestone has exceeded its C-BT ownership per the above Resolution, the Town is capped and cannot purchase additional C-BT supplies through the open market. Therefore, the Town must rely on C-BT acquisition through dedication from new development. Because the Town is capped, it has to get creative in efficiently and wisely utilizing the C-BT water it does own. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 2 Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) NISP is a regional water supply project coordinated by Northern Water on behalf of Firestone and 14 other Northern Front Range water providers. The goal is to provide participating water providers with approximately 40,000 acre-feet of new, reliable water supply each year. The Town originally signed up to participate in 1,000 acre-feet from NISP. Northern Water began the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) permitting process with 40,000 acre-feet, which consisted of both yield and firming storage. The viability of the firming storage component was challenged, and at that stage of the process, the NISP project was converted to solely a yield project versus a yield plus firming storage project. The volume of water originally requested by all participants was 31,000 acre-feet. By this time, Northern Water was deep into the permitting process for 40,000 acre-feet. Accordingly, Northern Water asked participants if they would increase their participation by a pro rata amount to keep the project at 40,000 acre-feet. Thus, Firestone's participation in NISP has increased to 1,300 acre-feet. Over the long-term, both C-BT and NISP should be used to serve Firestone's potable water demand and not used for park and open space irrigation. These sources are expensive and can be treated at the Carter Lake Filter Plant by Central Weld County Water District for potable use. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone CHAPTER 2 - PARK AND OPEN SPACE DEMAND The Parks and Open Space areas in Firestone consist mainly of turf grass and are currently being irrigated with C-BT water. Figure 2 provides an overview of the parks discussed in this chapter. Park and Open Space areas are broken up into four main categories: 1. Firestone Owned - Existing: This category includes existing Town parks, areas surrounding Town government buildings, street right-of-ways, and other areas that the Town currently owns and maintains. This category totals an estimated 106 irrigated acres equating to approximately 212 acre-feet of water needed each year. 2. Firestone Owned - Future: This category is what the Town anticipates for the future in essentially the same grouping as the above category. It is estimated that this category will add an additional 233 irrigated acres equating to 465 acre-feet of additional water needed each year. 3. Privately Owned - Existing: This category includes areas typically managed by a home owners association (HOA) or a business park. These areas may include greenbelts, breezeways, small parks within the HOA, or other turf areas that are privately owned and maintained. Also included in this category are turf areas surrounding the various schools within Firestone's Town limits. This category totals an estimated 115 irrigated acres equating to approximately 229 acre-feet of water needed each year. 4. Privately Owned - Future: This category is what is anticipated in the future for privately owned and maintained turf areas. It is estimated that this category will add an additional 41 irrigated acres equating to 81 acre-feet of additional water needed each year. The primary source for the original delineation of the various categories came from the shape files (ArcGIS) provided by Mr. Theo Abkes, Firestone's Public Works Director. The original shape files were already categorized into two categories: Firestone Owned and Privately Owned. After initially analyzing the original shape files within a map of Firestone's surrounding area, we conducted a site tour of the various parks and open spaces with Mr. Abkes. This park tour helped clarify which areas were currently being irrigated (existing) and which areas were potentially to be irrigated at a later date (future). During that park tour, additional clarification was made on each area to verify if it was Firestone owned or privately owned. Changes and updates were made to the shape files accordingly. Mr. Abkes also indicated some additional potential areas that could be delineated for non -potable irrigation. Examples of these areas were mostly the various schools within Firestone's town limits, but other areas included some businesses and other open spaces. New shape files were created to delineate Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 4 the newly suggested areas. Additional information was provided by Firestone in the form of a table that listed irrigated areas and if those areas were maintained by Firestone and an HOA. For each area the following was provided: 1) the number of dedicated shares of C-BT water, 2) estimated acreage, and 3) the number of C-BT used in 2014. This additional information was incorporated into the processing of the shape files and park tour. Utilizing aerial imagery, some larger delineated areas (typically parks) were re - delineated to better represent the actual irrigated areas. Larger unirrigated areas (i.e., basketball courts, playground areas, parking lots, etc.) were eliminated in this process. For existing irrigated areas (both Firestone owned and privately owned areas) the total delineated acreages were consider to be 100% irrigated. For future irrigation, an estimate was made regarding how much of the total delineated area would be irrigated. Delineations for future irrigated areas fell under three categories with the corresponding irrigation percentages: 1. For future Greenbelts, we assumed that 100% of the total delineated acreage was irrigated. 2. For future Parks, open spaces, and land tracks, we assumed that 50% of the total delineated acreage was irrigated. 3. For future Residential and Commercial areas, we assumed that 30% of the total delineated acreage was irrigated. Mr. Abkes also helped to clarify and confirm some of the new delineations as well as some questions about the original delineations. Table 1 — Table 3 list all the parks and open spaces, the existing acreages, estimated irrigated acreages, and the estimated irrigation requirements. Irrigation requirements are calculated using 2.0 acre-feet/acre as per an average of Colorado Irrigation Guide (1988) and Colorado's Net Irrigation Requirements (1995). Appendix B includes a recent satellite or aerial image of each designated park or open space area listed in Table 1 — Table 3. The "Map No." column corresponds with the map number in Appendix B. The total irrigation requirement at build -out is estimated at 988 acre-feet for the Town. Currently, approximately 442 acre-feet of C-BT water is being utilized for the Town's irrigation needs, and under current policies, the future 546 acre-feet will be as well. As mentioned previously, it is wise -water management to not use high-priced C-BT for irrigation. This is an important reason for the Town to acquire other supplies to meet this need.

Non -Potable Wafer Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone CHAPTER 3 — POTENTIAL SOURCES OF SUPPLY POTENTIAL SOURCES OF NEW WATER SUPPLY There are regional sources of water supply that potentially are available to meet Firestone's near and long-term non -potable water demands. The obvious sources to consider are the native water supplies that have been historically used for irrigated agriculture in the areas surrounding Firestone. Some of these sources of supply are relatively senior and were used on lands within the Town growth boundary. In certain situations, it may be possible to irrigate parks, open space areas, and possibly even residential and commercial landscapes with these sources of water supply. Use of this water for irrigation would reduce the amount of water required from the potable water system, thereby extending the life of the Town's potable supplies. Figure 3 shows a map of the sources of supply potentially available to Firestone. The sources of water analyzed in this plan may potentially suit Firestone's needs, but some may not be feasible due to location, costs, or a variety of other reasons. Until the Town constructs a local water treatment plant, these rights cannot be used for potable uses. However, the potential sources of water investigated can be used for non -potable irrigation of parks and open space areas either directly or by augmentation of a new well source. Should the Town build a water treatment plant or participate in a regional water treatment plant in the future, these sources could potentially be converted to potable use, which is a great safeguard against purchasing any unneeded water. Senior water rights should be considered for irrigation first. Senior water rights with a firm dry -year yield can be relied upon as a substitute to potable water for irrigation. More junior water rights can also be considered, so long as there is a storage component to add surety to its delivery. Groundwater is another source to consider for non -potable uses. Available groundwater may include tributary groundwater as well as non -tributary groundwater. We explore these potential water sources later in this report. BOULDER AND WELD COUNTY DITCH The Boulder and Weld County Ditch is located southwest of Town. Its headgate diverts from Boulder Creek in Section 15, Township 1 N, Range 69W in the 6th P.M., Boulder County, Colorado. The ditch has 20 shares and diverts under two priorities, 4-1-1863 and 5-1-1871. We were not able to find any change cases for this water right at this time. Advantages • This is a fairly senior water right. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 9 Disadvantages Since the water right has not been changed, there is no precedent data out there as far as deliveries and consumptive use. The Town does not want to be the first applicant to change this water right through Water Court. Recommendation Boulder and Weld County Ditch shares should be considered only on a case -by -case basis as opportunities arise. Due to its location and the fact that the water has not been changed through Water Court, Boulder and Weld will be less feasible for the Town to acquire and use. CARR AND TYLER DITCH The decreed headgate location of the Carr and Tyler Ditch is on the north bank of Idaho Slough (aka Idaho Creek) in Section 29, Township 2N, Range 68W in the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The Carr and Tyler Ditch was originally decreed in Case No. CA1287 with a priority date of June 1, 1864 for 33.73 cfs. Its average yield is 3.1 acre- feet per percentage interest in the Ditch and the average consumptive use is approximately 1.3 acre-feet per percentage interest. Advantages • This is a good water right that is suitable for non -potable use. Disadvantages • None of the lands within Town limits were historically irrigated by Carr and Tyler Ditch, so use for non -potable irrigation will require a change of use in Water Court. Recommendation The Town should pursue purchase of this water right. However, until there is infrastructure in place to get this water right to Town, the water would likely be changed and stored for well augmentation use. LOWER BOULDER DITCH The New Consolidated Lower Boulder Reservoir and Ditch Company owns the Lower Boulder Ditch. Its headgate is on the south bank of Boulder Creek in the SW %, SW'/4, Section 16, Township 1 N, Range 69W in the 61n P.M., Boulder County, Colorado. Lower Boulder Ditch was the very first ditch to file for water on Boulder Creek. Lower Boulder has been expanded and lengthened over the years. Today it is 32 miles long and flows out past Frederick to the edge of Firestone. Lower Boulder Ditch Company Clear Water solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 10 built Baseline Reservoir, starting construction in 1911. They also fill several reservoirs in Weld County. Lower Boulder water is valuable, since it is the #1 priority, and many cities have bought shares and transferred them to municipal use. The Lower Boulder Ditch has both preferred shares and common shares. The preferred shares are very senior. The ditch has 199.9767 preferred shares and 197.7793 common shares. Its most senior priorities (appropriation dates) are October 1, 1859 (Priority No.1) for 25.0 cubic feet per second (cfs), and June 1, 1870 (Priority No. 32) for 97.0 cfs. On average, the preferred shares deliver 34.5 acre-feet per share and the common shares delivery 11.5 acre-feet per share. Average consumptive use for the preferred shares are 19.8 acre-feet per share and the consumptive use for the common shares are 6.6 acre-feet per share. The New Consolidated Lower Boulder Ditch Company owns 460 units of C-BT, which it uses to supplement deliveries for its common shares. Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the New Consolidated Lower Boulder Reservoir and Ditch Company, holders of preferred capital stock are entitled to receive all of the water available under the October 1, 1859 priority and the first 23.0 cfs of the water available under the June 1, 1870, priority. Holders of common shares receive all water available in the ditch in excess of 48.0 cfs, but less than 96 cfs. Flows in excess of 96.0 cfs are distributed between all shareholders based on pro-rata stock ownership. The New Consolidated Lower Boulder Reservoir and Ditch Company also owns shares of capital stock issued by the Baseline Land and Reservoir Company and, therefore, its shareholders receive water stored in Baseline Reservoir. Baseline Land and Reservoir Com an The Baseline Land and Reservoir Company owns Baseline Reservoir, and the storage priorities decreed to the reservoir are listed in Table 4: Table 4: Baseline Land and Reservoir Company Storage Right Date of Decree Priority Date Amount (ac-ft) 06-21-1926 11-04-1904 2,930 01-09-1935 11-29-1922 1,672 09-28-1953 12-31-1929 1,395(1) 09-28-1953 11-30-1935 847 (1) Refill priority The Lower Boulder Ditch turns into the Coal Ridge Ditch, which traverses the southern part of Town near Saddleback Golf Course. Lower Boulder preferred shares are a good water supply option that should be considered to meet the Town's future non -potable water needs. Lower Boulder can be used for non -potable uses as it is a very senior water right. Furthermore, should the Town ever construct a local water treatment plant, Lower Boulder would provide a reliable potable water supply. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 1t Advantages • Lower Boulder preferred shares are very senior. • The ditch runs near the Town limits and is capable of being delivered within Town limits through the Coal Ridge Ditch. Disadvantages • Use for non -potable irrigation on lands not historically irrigated with the water right will require a change of use in Water Court. Recommendation Due to the convenient location of the Lower Boulder Ditch and its seniority, the Town should actively pursue purchase of this water right. The Town should also allow this water right to be dedicated to meet development raw water requirements on a case -by - case basis. COAL RIDGE DITCH The New Coal Ridge Ditch Company (Coal Ridge) water right shares the Lower Boulder Ditch. Deliveries associated with the Coal Ridge water right are measured in Section 25, Township 2N, Range 68W in the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. Coal Ridge owns multiple shares of several ditch companies including the following: 48.67 of 199.9767 preferred shares and 6 out of 197.7793 common capital stock of Lower Boulder Ditch Company, 5138th interest of Dry Creek Davidson Ditch, 5 of 44 shares of Enterprise Ditch, all rights decreed to Central Ditch, and all rights decreed to South Ditch. There are 2,116 shares in the Coal Ridge Ditch. Coal Ridge also owns 114 shares of 553 shares of the capital stock issued and outstanding in the Baseline Land and Reservoir Company. Dry Creek Davidson Ditch The Dry Creek Davidson Ditch (Dry Creek Ditch) has an appropriation date of May 1, 1863 (Priority No. 7) for 2.6 cfs representing the Coal Ridge interest. Dry Creek Ditch shares the Lower Boulder Ditch headgate. Enterprise Ditch Compan�r The Enterprise Ditch has an appropriation date of February 1, 1865 from South Boulder Creek (Priority No. 12) for 3.872 cfs representing the Coal Ridge interest. Enterprise Ditch shares the Lower Boulder Ditch headgate. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 12 Central Ditch All rights decreed to the Central Ditch are from South Boulder Creek, The Central Ditch was decreed in the District Court in Boulder County in Civil Action No. 1282 on June 2, 1882 for 14.36 cfs for irrigation purposes with an appropriation date of May 15, 1866 (Priority No. 16). In Civil Action No. 6524 by decree dated July 22, 1913, the point of diversion for the Central Ditch was changed to the Lower Boulder Ditch headgate and the rate of flow was decreased to 2.667 cfs. South Ditch All rights decreed to the South Ditch are from South Boulder Creek. The South Ditch was decreed by the District Court in Boulder County in Civil Action No. 1282 on June 2, 1882 for 9.16 cfs for irrigation purposes with an appropriation date of June 1, 1866 (Priority No.19). In Civil Action No. 6524 by decree dated July 22, 1913, the point of diversion for the South Ditch was changed to the Lower Boulder Ditch headgate and the rate of flow was reduced to 1.0 cfs. Table 5 summarizes the ditch shares owned by Coal Ridge. Table 5: Coal Ridge Ownership Summary Name of Ditch Company Date of Decree Priority Date Max.

(2) Preferred and common shareholders share equally the last 26.0 cfs of the June 1, 1870 priority. Per Case No. 90CW108, in which 35 shares of Coal Ridge where changed, the applicants received a maximum allowable delivery of approximately 2.3 acre-feet per share. A consumptive use amount could not be determined from Case No. 90CW108. The Coal Ridge Ditch is essentially an extension of the Lower Boulder Ditch and traverses the southern part of Town near Saddleback Golf Course. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Mon -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 13 Advantages • Since a portion of Coal Ridge diverts under the Lower Boulder priority, it is senior and suitable for non -potable irrigation. • Because the Town has lands historically irrigated under the ditch, some acquisition can occur with annexation. Disadvantages • Use for non -potable irrigation on lands above the ditch will require a change of use in Water Court. Recommendation The Coal Ridge Ditch is a good water right for non -potable irrigation for the Town. The ditch runs along the southern portion of Town, so most areas can be gravity fed. The Town should actively pursue purchase of this water right. The Town should also allow this water right to be dedicated to meet development raw water requirements on a case - by -case basis, particularly for lands within Town that were historically irrigated with this water. DELEHANT DITCH The Delehant Ditch (a.k.a. Tom Delehant Ditch) decree describes the headgate location as being on the south bank of Idaho Slough (aka Idaho Creek) in Section 29, Township 2N, Range 68W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The Delehant Ditch was originally decreed in Case No. CA1291 with a priority date of May 1, 1865 for 37.12 cfs. In Case No. 84CW204, a total of 27.12 cfs was abandoned resulting in a net amount of 10.0 cfs. Its average yield is 3.35 acre-feet per percentage interest in the Ditch and the average consumptive use is approximately 1.36 acre-feet per percentage interest. Advantages • This is a good water right that is suitable for non -potable use. Disadvantages • None of the lands within Town limits were historically irrigated by Delehant Ditch, so use for non -potable irrigation will require a change of use in Water Court. Recommendation The Town should pursue purchase of this water right. However, until there is infrastructure in place to get this water right to Town, the water would likely be changed and stored for well augmentation use. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 14 GODDING, PLUMB AND DAILEY DITCH The Plumb and Dailey Ditch Company maintains, operates, and owns the water rights to the Godding, Plumb, and Dailey Ditch. The headgate of the Godding, Plumb and Dailey Ditch diverts from Boulder Creek in Section 31, Township 2N, Range 68W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The Godding, Plumb and Dailey Ditch was originally decreed in Case No. CAI 275 with priority dates of March 3, 1861 and April 1, 1865 for 30.438 cfs. The Plumb and Dailey Ditch Company is a relatively small irrigation company with only 40 shares owned by fewer than two dozen people/entities. The Godding, Plumb and Dailey Ditch historically irrigated land on the west side of Boulder Creek. To date, no change cases have been done for Godding, Plumb and Dailey shares so the average yield and consumptive use are not known at this time. Advantages This is a good water right that is suitable for non -potable use. This water right has a senior priority date. Disadvantages None of the lands within Town limits were historically irrigated by Godding, Plumb and Dailey Ditch, so use for non -potable irrigation will require a change of use in Water Court. The Town does not want to be the first applicant to change this water right through Water Court. Recommendation The Town should pursue purchase of this water right. However, until there is infrastructure in place to get this water right to Town, the water would likely be changed and stored for well augmentation use. HIGHLAND SOUTH SIDE DITCH (AKA GODDING DITCH) The Godding Ditch Company owns the Highland South Side Ditch (aka Godding Ditch). The Godding Ditch has an appropriation date of June 1, 1865 for 99.7 cfs and an appropriation date of June 1, 1868 for 52.5 cfs from Boulder Creek. The headgate location is in the NE 1/4, NW A SW Y4 Section 21, Township 2N, Range 68W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. There are 183 shares of stock in the Godding Ditch Company. Godding Ditch has an average delivery of 27.2 acre-feet per share. In Case No. 01 CW255, in which 23 shares of Godding Ditch shares where changed, the average annual consumptive use was determined to be approximately 7.3 acre-feet per share. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 1s The Godding Ditch enters the western edge of Firestone near Sable Avenue and flows toward the middle of Town before turning due north. Most of the lands within Firestone are located above the ditch, and thus not historically irrigated with this water. Potential irrigation of future lands within Firestone with Godding Ditch will require pumping and a change of use in Water Court. Advantages • Godding Ditch is at a good location for direct use for non -potable irrigation. Disadvantages • Use for non -potable irrigation will require a change of use in Water Court since most of the lands within Town limits are above the ditch and thus not historically irrigated with Godding Ditch water. Recommendation The Town should actively pursue purchase of this water right. The Town should also allow this water right to be dedicated to meet development raw water requirements on a case -by -case basis, particularly for lands within Town that were historically irrigated with this water. HOUCK NO. 2 DITCH Houck No. 2 Ditch was previously decreed June 2, 1882 with an appropriation date of April 1, 1861 for 7.16 cfs from Boulder Creek for irrigation purposes. The decreed headgate location is where Idaho Slough (a.k.a. Idaho Creek) leaves Boulder Creek. Idaho Creek leaves Boulder Creek in the SE %, Section 30, Township 2N, Range 68W, 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The Houck No. 2 Ditch historically irrigated up to 500 acres of land in Sections 20, 21, and 29, Township 2N, Range 68W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. Currently, the Houck No. 2 Ditch is owned exclusively by one owner and they are applying for a change of water right and plan for augmentation in Division No. 1 Water Court. Based on the Water Court application, the Houck No. 2 water right yields 255 acre-feet per year with a consumptive use of approximately 129 acre-feet per year. Advantages • The owner has storage along with the Houck No. 2 water right. • This is a very senior water right. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 16 Disadvantages • None of the lands within Town limits were historically irrigated by Houck No. 2 Ditch, so use for non -potable irrigation will require a change of use in Water Court. Recommendation The Town should pursue purchase of this water right. However, until there is infrastructure in place to get this water right to Town, the water would likely be changed and stored for well augmentation use. LAST CHANCE DITCH The Last Chance Ditch is located north of Town. Its headgate diverts from the St. Wain River in Section 3, Township 2N, Range 68W in the 61h P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The ditch has 20 shares and diverts under two priorities, 3-15-1872 and 6-30-1878. Its average yield is 462 acre-feet per share. We were unable to locate any Water Court change cases for this water right. Advantages • The ditch is at a good location. Disadvantages • Since the water right has not been changed, there is no precedent data out there as far as deliveries and consumptive use. • The Town does not want to be the first applicant to change this water right through Water Court. Recommendation The Town should actively pursue the purchase of this water right. The ditch is well situated to fill Hokestra Pit storage, which is discussed in the next chapter. LUPTON BOTTOM DITCH The Lupton Bottom Ditch originates in the South Platte River Basin. Its headgate is located in Section 19, Township 1 N, Range 66W in the 6°h P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The ditch has 82.5 shares and diverts under three priorities, 5-15-1863, 3- 10-1871 and 9-15-1873. The majority of Lupton Bottom Ditch Company stock is owned by the Lupton Meadow Ditch Company, which owns 43 out of the 82.5 Lupton Bottom Ditch shares, or approximately a 52.1 percent interest. Its average delivery is 220.2 acre-feet per share with an average annual consumptive use of approximately 54 acre- feet per share. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Wafer Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 17 Advantage This is a senior water right. Disadvantages • None of the lands within Town limits were historically irrigated by Lupton Bottom Ditch, so use for non -potable irrigation will require a change of use in Water Court. The ditch is not at a good location for non -potable use for the Town. Recommendation Lupton Bottom Ditch should not be considered at this time due to its location and distance from Firestone. As shares of Lupton Bottom shift from agriculture to municipal use, either directly or for augmentation, there is uncertainty of receiving full yields at the end of the system. Firestone has better options for new water supplies for non -potable irrigation. PANAMA RESERVOIR 1 The Panama Reservoir 1 was decreed in Case No. 6672 on June 21, 1926 with an appropriation date of May 31, 1904 for 7,000 acre-feet and in Case No. 12111 on September 28, 1953 with an appropriation date of December 31, 1929 for 7000 acre- feet for refilling Panama Reservoir 1, both for irrigation use. In Case No. 84CW204, 2,011 acre-feet of the original 7,000 acre-feet was abandoned. The reservoir is located in portions of Sections 35 and 36, Township 2N, Range 69W of the 6th P.M., Boulder County, Colorado. Panama Reservoir 1 was originally operated by the Boulder and Weld Reservoir Company. In October 2010, the Boulder and Weld Reservoir Company and the Six Mile #2 Reservoir Company merged with the Boulder and White Rock Ditch and Reservoir Company, which at the time owned roughly 90 percent of the stock in the two Reservoir Companies. In Case No. 01CW255, a portion of two water rights (Boulder and Weld Reservoir shares and Six Mile No. 2 Reservoir shares) that are stored in Panama Reservoir 1 were changed. The average annual consumptive use of the Boulder and Weld Reservoir shares totaled 0.65 acre-feet per share and the average annual consumptive use of the Six Mile No. 2 Reservoir shares totaled 0.47 acre-feet per share. Advantages • Reservoir rights could offer some benefits with the storage component and timing of use. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 18 Disadvantages • None of the lands within Town limits were historically irrigated by Panama Reservoir 1, so use for non -potable irrigation will require a change of use in Water Court. • The location of the water right may prove problematic. Recommendation Panama Reservoir 1 should not be considered at this time. The location of Panama Reservoir 1 makes the other water right alternatives more appealing. RURAL DITCH The Rural Ditch was decreed in Case No. 1336 on June 2, 1882 with an appropriation date of May 10, 1862 (Priority No. 12) for 22.75 cfs and an appropriation date of March 10, 1863 (Priority No. 15) for 175.54 cfs from Boulder Creek. For the 1863 water right, 115.29 cfs of the 175.54 cfs was abandoned by decree in Case No. 84CW412. The decreed use is irrigation. The ditch diverts water from Boulder Creek at a point on the east bank of the creek in the NE % of Section 20, Township 2N, Range 68W, 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. Water is carried in the ditch to Idaho Creek, a branch of Boulder Creek, and re -diverted at a point on the east bank of Idaho Creek in the SE % of Section 16, Township 2N, Range 68W, in the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The general course of the ditch is northeasterly. There are 50 shares of stock in the Rural Ditch Company. Rural Ditch water averages approximately 100 acre-feet of delivery per share with an estimated 50 acre-feet per share consumptive use credit. The Rural Ditch runs along the northern edge of Firestone's growth boundary. Most of the lands within Firestone are located above the ditch, and thus not historically irrigated with this water. Potential irrigation of future lands within Firestone with Rural Ditch will require pumping and a change of use in Water Court. Advantages • Rural Ditch water is senior. The ditch is located close to Town. Disadvantages • Use for non -potable irrigation will require a change of use in Water Court since most of the lands within Town limits are above the ditch and thus not historically irrigated with Rural Ditch water. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 19 Recommendation The Town should actively pursue purchase of this water right. The ditch is well situated to fill Hokestra Pit storage, which is discussed in the next chapter. The Town should also allow this water right to be dedicated to meet development raw water requirements on a case -by -case basis. RECOMMENDED WATER SUPPLIES Of the water rights listed prior to this summary, the only options that are not recommended for further pursuit for the Town of Firestone are the Lupton Bottom Ditch and Panama Reservoir 1. Table 6 lists water rights recommended for purchase or potential dedication to meet raw water requirements for new developments. The recommended water rights are separated into three tiers that consider seniority, location and other factors: 1) Tier 1 water rights should be actively pursued, 2) Tier 2 water rights should be considered on a case -by -case basis and at a minimum meet with any water right owner of these rights, and Tier 3 water rights are not recommended at this time.

Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 20 CHAPTER 4 - STORAGE ALTERNATIVES Acquiring storage will allow the Town the flexibility to take delivery of the water supply when it is available and store it for later use in times of need. If the storage is properly located, releases of stored water rights can be used for augmentation of wells used to irrigate parks directly. The estimated build -out demand for park and open space irrigation is 988 acre-feet. The seniority of water rights factors largely into the amount of non -potable storage needed to meet this demand. For junior water rights, three to five times the demand may be the storage volume needed to provide reliability for irrigation. Senior water rights may only need 1.5 to two times the demand. Since Firestone currently does not own any non -potable water supplies, this factor is difficult to determine. For planning purposes, we suggest a little over two times the demand, or 2,000 acre-feet of non -potable storage for the Town. The Town's future Central Park has proposed on -site storage. In the previous non -potable planning effort, it was envisioned that storage at Central Park would serve as a hub to daisy -chain together a Town -wide non -potable system. Although storage at Central Park will likely exist and serve a portion of the storage need, non -potable storage along the river will provide a better alternative to meet the broader need for several reasons: 1. Central Park will likely become the primary park amenity for the Town of Firestone. Because of this, it will be better to keep on -site storage as full as possible and have the fluctuating reservoir down along the river. 2. Storage on the river provides access to many more water rights. Once stored, releases can be made to augment well irrigation at parks or a pipeline could potentially be built to Town for direct non -potable irrigation. 3. In the future, Firestone will be generating fully consumable wastewater at the St. Wain Sanitation Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Storage along the river will allow exchange and storage of this fully consumable water, which can be captured and reused. The Hokestra Pit is located in the N'/z of Section 2, Township 2N, Range 68W and the S % of Section 35, Township 3N, Range 68W of the 6t" P.M. in Weld County, Colorado. The site is generally located northeast of the intersection of Interstate 25 and Highway 119 near Firestone. Figure 4 is a vicinity map of the Hokestra Pit. Hokestra Pit is currently owned and operated by Weld County for gravel mining operations. The Hokestra Pit operation consists of twelve cells that were created as part of the mining operations on the property. Table 6 outlines each cell and some basic information about each one. The cell numbers correspond to the same numbers on the vicinity map. Clear Water Solutions, Inc.

We researched gravel pits in the area. We did not contact the gravel pit owners to determine if the sites are or will be lined for storage, nor did we determine if any of these sites are available for purchase. Once Hokestra Pit is acquired and the Town begins to acquire water rights, the Town can evaluate when the additional storage will be needed. The information provided in this report is a resource of potential gravel pits and contacts to pursue in the future. POTENTIAL STORAGE Appendix C includes a map and list of potential storage reservoirs that may be available to Firestone. A 2013 NAiP aerial image of Weld County available through the USDA-FSA-Aerial Photography Office was used to identify reservoirs and gravel pits located along the St. Wain River between 1-25 and the St. Vrain-South Platte confluence. GIS shapefiles available through the Colorado Decision Support Systems (CDSS) were then used to obtain general information on diversions, augmentation stations, gravel pits, and reservoirs. Further information on gravel pits and DRMS permits was obtained from a GIS shapefile available through the Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety. Property ownership was determined from a property mapping application available through the Weld County Office of the Assessor. Phone numbers were determined through existing contacts, general Google searches, or though the 411.info website. Not all of the listed phone numbers and contacts have been verified. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 22 CHAPTER 5 - GROUNDWATER AND WELL IRRIGATION SHALLOW GROUNDWATER WELLS From the standpoint of flexibility, shallow groundwater wells are ideal for non - potable irrigation. Wells can be operated on demand and are not tied to the seasonal fluctuations of surface water rights. The downside to well use is power costs from pumping and the need for augmentation. Augmentation is the one - for -one replacement back to the stream for every gallon of water that is pumped and consumptively used. This augmentation can be accomplished with the purchase of native water supplies and storage along the river. Figure 2 shows groundwater wells in the vicinity of the Town. Many of the identified wells are labeled with volume rates and water levels to give a general idea of what the Town might expect if it decide to utilize wells for parks and open space irrigation. As the non -potable system is designed, the Town should consider drilling shallow wells strategically around the Town for irrigation as it makes sense. Test wells can be drilled and pump tests completed to determine if wells at certain locations can produce the needed volumes to sustain irrigation at those parks or open space areas. DEEP GROUNDWATER WELLS The deep groundwater underlying the Town is limited in both production rate and total volume. Most of the groundwater is classified as not non -tributary (NNT). NNT water is hydraulically connected to the river system, but well pumping impacts from pumping NNT water are much more delayed than with tributary water. NNT augmentation obligations from well pumping may extend hundreds of years into the future from pumping today. All groundwater below Firestone originates in the Laramie -Fox Hills aquifer. The central and northern edge of Town limits has NNT water approximately 300 feet below the ground surface. Pumping NNT water is not feasible due to the cost of pumping the deep water and the long-term impacts to the river system, in addition, drilling wells into these deep sources is expensive. There is a limited amount of NT groundwater located on the eastern and southern edges of Town limits. The small amount of NT water is borne from the Laramie -Fox Hills aquifer and is located approximately 500 feet below the ground surface. NT water is different than NNT in that it is hydraulically separated from the surface water system. NT water can be used up to 98% extinction without augmentation. The State allocates NT water based on surface land ownership and a 100-year aquifer life. Because the aquifer does not recharge naturally, it is a finite resource. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 23 Advantages • Irrigation from wells provides operational flexibility. • NT groundwater can be used to 98% extinction without augmentation. Disadvantages • NNT water requires augmentation for hundreds of years into the future for pumping today. • NT and NNT sources are deep, and the cost to drill wells into these formations is expensive. • Both sources have limited production capability in this area, yielding 1 5-20 gallons per minute (gpm) per well on average and a maximum of 50 gpm per well. • Pumping these sources of water is expensive for non -potable irrigation. • NT groundwater is a finite water source, so it should only be used as a supplemental supply. Recommendation NNT groundwater will never be a good option for the Town due to the augmentation obligations and should not be considered. NT groundwater is a potential option for non - potable irrigation, although the Town has much better options at this time. NT water is deep and can be expensive to pump for irrigation. NT and NNT wells should not be considered at this time. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 24 CHAPTER 6 — CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS It is important for the Town Board and staff to have a clear understanding of the direction it will take regarding its non -potable water supplies. The conclusions and recommendations in this chapter will provide the needed steps that should be completed for successful implementation of this Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan. The Town Board and staff can be confident that the recommendations proposed in this plan will help position the Town well to meet existing and future non -potable demands, while expanding and diversifying the Town's water portfolio. In addition, should a regional treatment plant be constructed, many of these supplies could be strategically converted to potable use. Following is a list of recommended next steps. The intent of this list is to provide the key decision makers an easy reference point upon which to guide the Town by keeping the decision makers on the same page. This chapter should be referenced periodically to ensure the proper steps are taken for successful implementation. Complete Hokestra purchase. Firestone is currently in negotiations with Weld County for a portion of the Hokestra Pit. The Town will seek to purchase Cell 2 with an option to purchase Cell 4 once it is mined. Cell 2 is clay lined and will provide 453 acre-feet of storage. Cell 4 has been line with a slurry wall, but has not been mined yet. Cell 4 will provide approximately 200 acre-feet of additional storage for Firestone. 2. Apply for CWCB loan. The Town should apply for a CWCB low -interest loan to purchase this storage, the water rights to divert to the storage, and the infrastructure needed to fill the storage. 3. Meet with Little Thompson Water District to explore if a potential joint pump station on the St. Vrain River makes sense for both parties. Little Thompson Water District will be supplying the Brookfield subdivision with Windy Gap water. The proposed water supply includes an exchange back from the St. Vrain Sanitation District WWTP. This exchange of fully consumable water will likely require a pump station. Firestone will need a pump station to fill Hokestra Pit storage. 4. File for a junior storage right on Hokestra Pit. It will be important that the Town file for a junior storage right on Hokestra Pit in 2015 or 2016. A junior water right will allow diversion and storage within the pit. Stored water can be leased to third parties to generate revenue until the non -potable system is online. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 26 5. Evaluate additional storage options. The Town should evaluate additional storage opportunities as options to purchase storage become available. The Town may consider the potential storage options presented in Appendix C if additional storage is needed in the future. 6. Meet with owners of potential water rights. The Town should initiate meetings with various owners of water and storage rights. 7. Consider wells in non -potable system. The Town should proceed with investigating the design and feasibility of a non -potable system utilizing wells. As the non -potable system is designed, the Town should consider drilling shallow wells strategically around the Town for irrigation as it makes sense. Test wells should be drilled and a pump test completed to determine if a well at certain locations can produce the needed volume to sustain irrigation at that park or open space area. 8. Complete non -potable system design. With the completion of this plan, the Town's non -potable water infrastructure plan should be updated. The infrastructure plan update can evaluate how the recommended water rights, Hokestra Pit storage, proposed storage at Central Park, and potential well irrigation can work in a comprehensive non -potable system. 9. Develop agreement with St. Vrain Sanitation District. Should any of these supplies be strategically converted to potable use in the future, the Town will want the right to control and use any fully consumable effluent it generates from its water supplies. This fully consumable effluent can be used for augmentation of well pumping, to meet return flow obligations from use of a changed water right, exchanged upstream into Hokestra Pit storage for subsequent use, or exchanged for different water supplies with other water users. An agreement with St. Vrain Sanitation District to recapture the Town's future reusable effluent is vital to the Town's long-term plan. 10.Target acquisition of Tier 1 and Tier 2 water rights in Table 6 (Chapter 3). As lands historically irrigated with any of these water rights annex into the Town, this water should be considered to meet a portion of the raw water requirement. Further, the town should continue to budget and actively acquire these water rights as the negotiations and deals make sense. Before water rights are taken in by the Town, a historical use analysis should be completed to ensure the Town is obtaining a good water right. Many times water rights were used inefficiently in the past and buyers do not get what they paid for. Sound due diligence will be important in these transactions. Further, historical location of use in relation to the Town's other water infrastructure and calling rights on the river will be important to ensure that the Town can replace return flows adequately. 11. Engage a water broker or expert to find available water. The Town should engage a water broker or expert to search for Tier 1 and Tier 2 water rights for sale. Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Non -Potable Water Rights Master Plan Town of Firestone 26 12.Conduct a water quality investigation. Prior to any conversion of non -potable water rights to potential potable water use, a study on water quality, the level of treatment required and a fully devised plan for proper disposal of brine should be completed, including costs and feasibility.

The foregoing recitals are incorporated in and made a part of this Resolution. Section 2. Blight as defined by C.R.S. § 31-25-103(2), is present in the Central Firestone Urban Renewal Plan Area ("Area") as documented by the Central Firestone Conditions Survey prepared by Matrix Design Group, dated September 2015, and based on evidence presented at the public hearing. The following blight factors are present in said Area: Slum, deteriorated, or deteriorating structures; faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness; unsanitary or unsafe conditions; inadequate public improvements or utilities; existence of conditions that endanger life or property by fire or other causes; buildings that are unsafe or unhealthy for persons to live or work in because of building code violations, dilapidation, deterioration, defective design, physical construction, of faulty or inadequate facilities; the existence of health, safety, or welfare factors requiring high levels of municipal services or substantial physical underutilization or vacancy of sites, buildings, or other improvements. Section 3. The Area is a blighted area as defined in the Law, and is appropriate for one or more urban renewal projects or other undertakings by the Firestone Urban Renewal Authority ("Authority") as authorized by Part 1 of Article 25 of Title 31, C.R.S. Section 4. The Central Firestone Urban Renewal Plan ("Plan") satisfies the requirements of C.R.S. § 31-25-1055(2). Section 5. The principal purpose for the adoption of the Plan is to facilitate redevelopment in order to eliminate or prevent the spread of blight. Section 6. The boundaries of the Area have been drawn as narrowly as the Board of Trustees determines feasible to accomplish the planning and development objectives of the Plan. Section 7. To the extent that the urban renewal area described in the Plan may constitute open land within the meaning of C.R.S. § 31-25-107(5), and to the extent such Section is otherwise applicable, it is found and determined that a shortage of housing of sound standards and design that is decent, safe, and sanitary exists in the Town; the need for housing accommodations has been or will be increased as a result of the clearance of substandard and dilapidated housing in the Town; the 2 conditions of blight in the urban renewal area and the shortage of decent, safe, and sanitary housing cause or contribute to an increase in and spread of disease and crime and constitute a menace to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare; and, if necessary to carry out the Plan, the acquisition of the area for residential uses is an integral part of and essential to the program of the Town. Section 8. To the extent that the Area includes open land within the meaning of C.R.S. § 31- 25-107(6), and to the extent such Section is otherwise applicable, it is found and determined that the nonresidential uses under the Plan are necessary and appropriate to facilitate the proper growth and development of the community in accordance with sound planning standards and local community objectives and to carry out the Plan. The acquisition of property within the Area may require the exercise of governmental action, as provided by Law, because of the presence of conditions of blight. Section 9. The Plan has been submitted to the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado (the "County"), together with the information required by C.R.S. § 31-25- 107(3.5). Section 10. The Area includes parcels of agricultural land, as defined by C.R.S. § 31-25- 103(1). These parcels are included within the Area pursuant to the consent of each public body that levies ad valorem property tax in conformance with C.R.S. § 31-25-107(1)(c)(1I)(D). A map of these areas is shown as Exhibit D of Plan. Section 11. All of the Area is within the corporate limits of the Town. Construction of public improvements and provision of services to facilitate redevelopment of the Area in order to eliminate or prevent the spread of blight conditions will be the primary responsibility of the Town, the Authority, special districts and public entities other than the County, and private enterprise. The Board of Trustees finds that an agreement with County is in place to finance any additional County infrastructure or services required to serve development within the Area for the period during which the tax allocation provisions authorized by C.R.S. § 31-25-107(9)(a)(1) and (1I) are in place and a portion of property taxes levied by the County are paid to the Authority, and further finds that increases in County revenue resulting from the proportionate adjustment of the valuations for assessment under said C.R.S. § 31-25-107(9)(a)(I) and (II) will also provide revenues to finance any such additional County infrastructure or services while such tax allocation provisions are in place. Section 12. The St. Vrain Valley School District RE- 1J and Weld County School District RE-1 have been permitted to participate in an advisory capacity with respect to the inclusion in the Plan of the tax allocation provisions authorized by C.R.S. § 31-25-107(9). Section 13. The Authority is authorized to acquire any interest in property by any manner available, including, without limitation, by exercise of the power of eminent domain, subject to and in compliance with the requirements of the Law, which are incorporated herein by reference, and any other applicable law, and subject further to the requirements and limitations of the Plan. Section 14. To the extent that any relocation of individuals and families will be required in connection with the Plan, a feasible method exists through the adoption of a relocation policy by the Authority for the relocation of individuals and families in decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling 3 accommodations within their means and without undue hardship to such individuals and families. Section 15. To the extent that any relocation of business concerns will be required in connection with the Plan, a feasible method exists through the adoption of a relocation policy by the Authority for the relocation of such business concerns in the Area or in other areas that are not generally less desirable with respect to public utilities and public and commercial facilities. Section 16. The Board of Trustees has taken reasonable efforts to provide written notice of the public hearing prescribed by C.R.S. § 31-25-107(3) to all property owners, residents, and owners of business concerns in the Area at their last known addresses at least thirty days prior to the public hearing on the Plan. Section 17. The public hearing to consider the approval of the Plan was commenced on October 28, 2015. No more than 120 days have passed since the commencement of the only public hearing on the Plan. Section 18. The Plan does not include any area previously considered for inclusion in an urban renewal area in the previous twenty-four months. Section 19. The Plan conforms with the Firestone Master Plan, which is the general plan for the development of the Town as a whole and additionally for the Area. Section 20. The Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the municipality as a whole for the rehabilitation or redevelopment of the Area described in the Plan by private enterprise. Section 21. The acquisition, clearance, rehabilitations, conservation, development or redevelopment of a combination thereof of the Area pursuant to the Plan is necessary in the best interests of the public health, safety, morals, and welfare of the citizens of the Town of Firestone. Section 22. The Plan satisfies applicable requirements of the Law. Section 23. The Plan has been duly reviewed and considered and is hereby approved. The Authority is hereby authorized to take any and all actions pursuant to the Law to carry out the Plan. PASSED AND ADOPTED this day of 2015. J rOV ATT SEA, i o r C' % .O O� N7Y.

Introduction The Firestone Town Board of Trustees established the Firestone Urban Renewal Authority ("Authority") on July 9, 2009 by Resolution No. 09-22. The Authority has previously prepared an Urban Renewal Plan for the Southern Firestone Urban Renewal Area ("Southern Plan") and the Northern Firestone Urban Renewal Area ("Northern Plan") and now has prepared this Urban Renewal Plan for the Central Firestone Urban Renewal Area ("Central Plan"). Like the Southern Plan and the Northern Plan, the Central Plan has been prepared to guide in the elimination and prevention of conditions of blight in the Central Plan and to facilitate redevelopment in the Central Plan in accordance with the Firestone Master Plan. This Central Plan has been prepared pursuant to the provisions of the Urban Renewal Law of the State of Colorado, Part 1 of Article 25 of Title 31, C.R.S., as amended ("Act"). The legal description of the Central Plan within the Town is set forth in Exhibit A. The general location of the Central Plan is shown in Exhibit B. The administration and the implementation of the Central Plan shall be the responsibility of the Authority. B. Summary of Eligibility Criteria 1. Conditions Survey The Authority directed the preparation of a conditions survey covering the Central Plan (titled the Central Firestone Conditions Survey and hereafter referred to as the "Central Survey"). The Central Plan Survey was completed in September 2015. The purpose of the Central Survey was to establish if conditions of blight, as defined in the Act, exist in the Central Plan. The Central Survey is attached as Exhibit C. 2. Summary of Conditions Survey The Central Survey shows there is a presence of adverse physical conditions sufficient to meet criteria established in the Act. Although some portions of the Central Plan are in adequate or sound condition, there exist deteriorated and substandard conditions throughout the study area as a whole, which supports a finding that the Central Plan is a blighted area as defined in the Act. The conclusion of this study is based on the following summary of conditions found in the Central Survey: • Slum, deteriorated, or deteriorating structures. • Faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness. 6 Unsanitary or unsafe conditions. • Existence of conditions that endanger life or property by fire or other causes. • Buildings that are unsafe or unhealthy for persons to live or work in because of building code violations, dilapidation, deterioration, defective design, physical construction, or faulty or inadequate facilities. The existence of health, safety, or welfare factors requiring high levels of municipal services or substantial physical underutilization or vacancy of sites, buildings, or other improvements. C. Findings The Central Survey identifies conditions that constitute blight or a blighted area as defined in the Act. Based on the Central Survey and evidence presented at the public hearing, the Town Board of Trustees finds that there exists blight, as defined by § 31-25-103(2), C.R.S., in the Central Plan. 2. The Board of Trustees finds that the Central Plan is appropriate for one or more projects and other undertakings by the Authority as authorized by the Act. 3. The Board of Trustees held a public hearing on October 28, 2015 to consider this Plan after public notice thereof in compliance with the Act in the Longmont Times -Call newspaper, describing the time, date, and purpose of the public hearing, identifying the Central Plan and outlining the general scope of the projects being considered for implementation pursuant to this Plan. Notice of the public hearing has been mailed to all property owners, residents, and owners of business concerns in the proposed Central Plan at their last known address of record at least 30 days prior to the public hearing. 4. The boundaries of the Central Plan are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The Central Plan is designated as an urban renewal area by this Plan. The Central Plan is drawn as narrowly as feasible to accomplish the planning and development objectives of the Central Plan. 5. The Central Plan includes parcels of agricultural land, as defined by C.R.S. § 31-25-103(1). These parcels are included pursuant to the consent of each public body that levies ad valorem property tax in conformance with C.R.S. § 31-25-107(1)(c)(II)(D). A map of these areas is shown as Exhibit E. b. One or more of the projects undertaken pursuant to this Plan may require the demolition and clearance, subject to other restrictions, of certain 2 property within the Central Plan as provided in this Plan. Such actions may be necessary to eliminate unhealthy, unsanitary, and unsafe conditions, eliminate obsolete and other uses detrimental to the public welfare, and otherwise remove and prevent the spread of deterioration. i. Other portions of the Central Plan may be conserved or rehabilitated through appropriate public action, as authorized or contemplated by the Act, and through the cooperation and voluntary action of the owners and tenants of such property. 8. In order to eliminate or reduce the qualifying conditions currently existing within the Central Plan, it is the intent of the Board of Trustees in adopting this Plan that the Authority exercise all powers authorized to be exercised under the Act and which are necessary, convenient, or appropriate to accomplish the objectives of this Plan. It is the intent of this Plan that except as otherwise provided herein, the Authority shall exercise all such powers as may now be possessed or hereafter granted to the Authority for the elimination of qualifying conditions within the Central Plan. 9. A feasible method exists for the relocation of individuals, families, and business concerns that may be displaced by an urban renewal project through the adoption of a relocation policy by the Authority insuring that adequate substitute business locations can be made available and that adequate relocation assistance is available. 10.The powers conferred by the Act are for public uses and purposes for which public money may be expended and the police powers exercised, and this Plan is in the public interest and necessity, such finding being a matter of legislative determination by the Board of Trustees. 11.The uses contemplated under this Plan are necessary and appropriate to facilitate the sound growth and development of the Town of Firestone in accordance with sound planning standards and local community objectives, and any acquisitions within the Central Plan which may require the exercise of governmental action are necessary because of the presence of blight in the Central Plan. 12.The Central Plan does not contain property that was included in a previously submitted urban renewal plan that the Board of Trustees failed to approve in past twenty-four months. 3 D. Urban Renewal Plan Goals and Plan's Relationship to Local and Regional Objectives 1. Goals a. Implementation of the Central Plan will help eliminate and prevent conditions of blight in the Central Plan. b. The Central Plan will implement the Master Plan and contribute to the orderly growth and development of the Town. c. Through the maximum possible participation of private enterprise and the cooperative efforts of the public sector, implementation of the Central Plan will eliminate and prevent economic deterioration in the Central Plan. d. The Central Plan will upgrade traffic, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation and access, public utilities, recreation and drainage in the Central Plan, while ensuring that existing and proposed development is sensitive to the surrounding residential neighborhoods. e. The Central Plan will eliminate and prevent blight by helping to attract capital investment and new businesses, retention and expansion of existing businesses, and development of regional markets for retail, office, and housing uses, thereby providing employment and strengthening the economic base and physical condition of the Central Plan. The Central Plan will create a high quality image of the Town and the Central Plan by creating an attractive visual image through the implementation of landscaping, design and streetscape improvements. g. Implementation of the Central Plan will provide for the redevelopment of the area and promote improvements of properties in the Central Plan. h. Success of the Central Plan will provide a catalyst for further improvements and potential redevelopment of residential areas adjacent to the Central Plan. i. The Central Plan will promote a wide array of housing choices, from affordable housing to luxury housing within the Central Plan. 4 2. Relationship to Local and Regional Objectives a. The Central Plan will promote and encourage private enterprise to upgrade and invest in commercial, retail and housing developments in the Central Plan, an objective of the Master Plan and the Act. b. The Central Plan will implement the provisions of the Town's master drainage and flood improvement program, which is part of regional efforts to control flooding and promote a comprehensive drainage program to serve the entire region. c. Implementation of the Central Plan is consistent with regional and local efforts to create public/private partnerships to comply with the Act. d. The Central Plan will provide a means of mitigating land use conflicts with adjoining areas through the implementation of adopted planning and design standards for public and private improvements. e. The Central Plan promotes the development and expansion of safe and adequate pedestrian access, public transportation, and enhances the access to the Firestone Trail and connecting regional trail systems. f. The Central Plan encourages additional transportation alternatives to increase safety, access, and alternatives for residents and visitors. Specific project improvements towards this end may include, without limitation, installation or upgrading of traffic, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation and access improvements. 3. Relationship to Master Plan The Town adopted and continually updates a Master Plan to guide development and redevelopment of the Town, including the area in the Central Plan. The Firestone Planning Commission reviewed this Central Plan at a regular meeting on October 15, 2015. The Firestone Planning Commission found the Central Plan to be consistent with the Master Plan and recommended adoption of the Central Plan by the Board of Trustees. The Central Plan advances the goals and objectives of the community, including, without limitation, the following specific goals and objectives of the Master Plan: • A transportation system that is properly designed and constructed to meet the current needs of the existing traffic volumes. • A comprehensive and unified parks and trails system. Firestone is a pedestrian and non -motorized connected community, where one can walk to work, home or service centers on a comfortable and convenient trail system. • Effective and efficient public safety and security. Without public safety, Firestone citizens and employees cannot be free to enjoy their benefits of their community. • "Four-sided" architecture along major streets and visual corridors. • Superior recreational facilities, including the Firestone Sports Complex. • A balanced approach to a blend of housing and commercial opportunities. • An equal number of available jobs to employable citizens. • A focus on a comprehensive "cradle" to "grave" land use and community system where all components of the life cycle are considered and accommodated. • A community where the freedom to worship is fully embraced. • A specific focus on the senior segments of the Firestone community to assure that they are appropriately considered in land use and community decisions. If optimized, the senior population can bestow valuable leadership and wisdom that comes from experience of time. • Proper transition and integration between different types of land uses. • Convenient access to a wide variety of retail goods and services. • Down cast lighting and strategies to effectively preserve the "night sky" • Low, but appropriate taxes. • Stable political leadership. • A tangible and inspired sense of community. E. Land Use Regulations and Building Requirements 1. Land Uses Excluding public rights -of -way, all the property in the area is zoned as Planned Unit Development District (PUD) under Title 17 of the Firestone N. Municipal Code. Permitted land use categories and associated development standards are described in the Firestone Development Regulations and development approvals applicable to parcels in the Central Plan. The Authority may in conformance with the Act, adopt additional design standards and development requirements applicable to properties in the Central Plan. 2. Development Processing Applications for development will comply with applicable Town requirements and will be subject to public hearings before the Planning and Zoning Commission and/or Town Board for approval of Outline Development Plans, Preliminary Development Plans, Preliminary Plats, Final Development Plans and Final Plats as provided in Town Development Regulations, The Central Plan encourages a comprehensive and unified plan to promote and encourage high quality development of the area by private enterprise. F. Project Activities 1. Land Acquisition In order to carry out this Central Plan, the Authority may exercise any and all of its powers under the Act. The Authority may acquire any interest in property by voluntary sale or acquisition or by the exercise of the power of eminent domain pursuant to procedures set forth in C.R.S. 38-1-101 et seq. and C.R.S. 38-7-101 et seq., including: a. To extent required by C.RS. 31-25-105.5, any project for which property is acquired through the exercise of the power of eminent domain shall be commenced no later than seven years from the date that blight is determined by the Town Board. b. Not later than the commencement of the negotiation of an agreement for redevelopment or rehabilitation of property acquired or to be acquired by eminent domain, the Authority must provide notice and invite proposals for redevelopment or rehabilitation from all property owners, residents, and owners of business concerns located on the property acquired or to be acquired by eminent domain in the Central Plan by mailing notice to their last known address of record. The Authority may also at the same time invite proposals for redevelopment or rehabilitation from other interested persons who may not be property owners, owners of business concerns, or residents within the Central Plan, and may provide public notice thereof by publication in a newspaper having a general circulation within the Town. 7 c. In the case of a set of parcels to be acquired by the Authority in connection with a project, at least one of which is owned by an owner refusing or rejecting an agreement for the acquisition of the entire set of parcels, the Authority must make a determination that the redevelopment or rehabilitation of the remaining parcels is not viable under the Central Plan without the parcel at issue. d. Acquisition of any property by eminent domain shall be for the purpose of preventing or eliminating conditions of blight without regard to the economic performance of the property to be acquired. 2. Relocation It is not anticipated that acquisition of real property by the Authority will result in the relocation of any individuals, families, or business concerns. However, if such relocation becomes necessary, the Authority shall adopt a relocation plan in conformance with the Act and consistent with specific objectives which will be identified in that plan. The Authority shall adopt its relocation plan(s) before any individuals, families or business concerns are relocated. 3. Demolition, Clearance and Site Preparation The Authority may demolish and clear those structures and other improvements from property it acquires pursuant to the Central Plan.

Any and all financing methods legally available to the Town, the Authority, any private developer, redeveloper or owner may be used to refinance in whole or in part any and all costs, including without limitation, the cost of public improvements, described or anticipated in the Central Plan or in any manner related or incidental to redevelopment of the Central Plan. Such methods may be combined to finance all or any part of a project. Any financing method authorized by the Central Plan, the Act, or any applicable law may be used to pay the principal of and interest on and to establish reserves for indebtedness (whether funded, refunded, assumed or otherwise) incurred by the Authority or the Town to refinance a project in whole or in part. The Authority is authorized to issue notes, bonds or any other financing instruments or documents in amounts sufficient to finance all or part of a project.

The Survey is a necessary step if urban renewal, as defined and authorized by Colorado statutes, (see Section 2 and Section 3), is to be used as a tool by the Town of Firestone to remedy and prevent conditions of blight. The findings and conclusions presented in this report are intended to assist theTown in making a final determination as to whether the Survey Area qualifies as blighted and, consequently, the feasibility and appropriateness of using urban renewal as a reinvestment tool. To conduct the Survey and prepare the Survey report, theTown of Firestone retained the services of Denver -based consulting firm Matrix Design Group. Matrix has experience in conducting blight studies for municipalities and agencies across Colorado. Methodology The defined geographic area ("Study Area) examined in this Conditions Study was determined by theTown of Firestone; it focuses on various agricultural and industrial properties that are within the municipal boundaries of theTown, or are planned to be annexed in the near future. A map depicting the boundaries of the Study Area is presented in Section 4 of this report as Exhibit 2: Study Area Map. Data collection for conditions of blight (see Sections 2 and 3 for what constitutes conditions of blight) was accomplished through several means. A field survey was conducted in February 2015 for the purpose of assessing blight conditions that could be physically observed within the Study Area. Additional analysis was conducted using aerial photography and parcel maps Study Overview Central Firestone Conditions Study of the area. For those blight conditions that are not observable in the field (such as traffic data, crime statistics, etc.), blight condition data was obtained from the Town of Firestone and various other 3rd party sources during the same time period. Finally, the Environmental Contamination ofBuildings or Property factor is assessed by a certified Environmental Scientist with extensive experience conducting environmental site assessments. It involves searching for and providing an opinion on the existence of Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) as defined by the American Society of Testing and Materials. This process involves searching available environmental records maintained by various federal, state, and local entities for records of contamination. 2 Study Overview Central Firestone Conditions Study Section 2: Colorado Urban Renewal Statutes and Blighted Areas In the Colorado Urban Renewal Law, Colo. Rev. Stat. § 31-25-101 et seq. (the "Urban Renewal Law"), the legislature has declared that an area of blight "constitutes a serious and growing menace, injurious to the public health, safety, morals, and welfare of the residents of the state in general and municipalities thereof; that the existence of such areas contributes substantially to the spread of disease and crime, constitutes an economic and social liabilit)6 substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of municipalities, retards the provision of housing accommodations, aggravates traffic problems and impairs or arrests the elimination of traffic hazards and the improvement of traffic facilities; and that the prevention and elimination of slums and blight is a matter of public policy and statewide concern..." Under the Urban Renewal Law, the term "blighted area"describes an area with an array of urban problems, including health and social deficiencies, and physical deterioration. See Colo. Rev. Stat. § 31-25-103(2). Before remedial action can betaken, however, the Urban Renewal Law requires a finding by the appropriate governing body that an area such as the Study Area constitutes a blighted area. Colo. Rev. Stat. §31-25-107(1). The blight finding is a legislative determination by the municipality's governing body that, as a result of the presence of factors enumerated in the definition of"blighted area;'the area is a detriment to the health and vitality of the community requiring the use of the municipality's urban renewal powers to correct those conditions or prevent their spread. In some cases, the factors enumerated in the definition are symptoms of decay, and in some instances, these factors are the cause of the problems. The definition requires the governing body to examine the factors and determine whether these factors indicate a deterioration that threatens the community as a whole. For purposes of the Study, the definition of a blighted area is articulated in the Colorado Urban Renewal statute as follows: Colorado Urban Renewal Statutes and Blighted Areas 3 Central Firestone Conditions Study '"Blighted area"' means an area that, in its present condition and use and, by reason of the presence ofat least four of the following factors, substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the municipality, retards the provision ofhousing accommodations, or constitutes on economic or social liability, and is a menace to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare. a. Slum, deteriorated, or deteriorating structures; b. Predominance of defective or inadequate street layout; C. Faulty lot layout in relo tion to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness; d. Unsanitary or unsafe conditions e. Deterioration ofsite or other improvements; f. Unusual topography or inadequate public improvements or utilities; g. Defective or unusual conditions of title rendering the title non -marketable, h. The existence of conditions that endanger life or property by fire or other causes, L Buildings that are unsafe or unhealthy for persons to live or work in because of building code violations, dilapidation, deterioration, defective design, physical construction, or faulty or inadequate facilities; j. Environmental contamination of buildings or property; or k.5. The existence of health, safety, or welfare factors requiring high levels of municipal services or substan tial physical underutilization or vacancy ofsites, buildings, or other improvements" In addition, paragraph (I.) states, "if there is no objection by the property owner or owners and the tenant or tenants ofsuch owner or owners, if any, to the inclusion of such property in an urban renewal area, 'blighted area'olso means an area that, in its present condition and use and, by reason of the presence ofany one of the factors specified in paragraphs (a) to (k.5) of this subsection...." The statute also states a separate requirement for the number of blight factors that must be present if private property is to be acquired by eminent domain. At § 31-25-105.5(5), paragraph (a.) states, "Blighted area'shall have thesome meaning as set forth in section 31-25-103 (2), except that, for purposes of this section only, 'blighted area' means on area that, in its present condition and use and, by reason of the presence of of least five of the factors specified in section 31- 25-103 (2)(a) to (2)(1)...." Colorado Urban Renewal Statutes and Blighted Areas Central Firestone Conditions Study Thus, the state statutes require, depending on the circumstances, that a minimum of either one, four, or five blight factors be present for an area to be considered a "blighted area" A couple principles have been developed by Colorado courts to guide the determination of whether an area constitutes a blighted area under the Urban Renewal Law. First, the absence of widespread violation of building and health codes does not, by itself, preclude a finding of blight. According to the courts, "the definition of'blighted area'contained in [the Urban Renewal Law] is broad and encompasses not only those areas containing properties so dilapidated as to justify condemnation as nuisances, but also envisions the prevention of deterioration" Second, the presence of one well -maintained building does not defeat a determination that an area constitutes a blighted area. Normally, a determination of blight is based upon an area "taken as a whole"and not on a building -by -building, parcel -by -parcel, or block -by -block basis. Based upon the conditions identified in the Study Area, this report makes a recommendation as to whether the Study Area qualifies as a blighted area. The actual determination itself remains the responsibility of theTown of Firestone. Colorado Urban Renewal Statutes and Blighted Areas 5 Central Firestone Conditions Study No document contenton thispuge Colorado Urban Renewal Statutes and Blighted Areas Central Firestone Conditions Study Section 3: Conditions Indicative of the Presence of Blight As discussed in Section 2, the Colorado Urban Renewal statute provides a list of 11 factors that, through their presence, may allow an area to be declared as blighted. This section elaborates on those 11 factors by describing some of the conditions that might be found within a Study Area that would indicate the presence of those factors. Slum, Deteriorated, or Deteriorating Structures: During the field reconnaissance of the Study Area, the general condition and level of deterioration of a building is evaluated. This examination is limited to a visual inspection of the building's exterior condition and is not a detailed engineering or architectural analysis, nor does it include the building's interior. The intent is to document obvious indications of disrepair and deterioration to the exterior of a structure found within the Study Area. Some of the exterior elements observed for signs of deterioration include: Primary elements (exterior walls, visible foundation, roof) Secondary elements (fascia/soffits, gutters/downspouts, windows/ doors, facade finishes, loading docks, etc.) Ancillary structures (detached garages, storage buildings, etc) Predominance of Defective or Inadequate Street Layout: The presence of this factor is determined through a combination of both field observation as well as an analysis of the existing transportation network and vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns in a Study Area by persons with expertise in transportation planning and/or traffic engineering. These conditions include: • Inadequate street or alley widths, cross -sections, or geometries • Poor provisions or unsafe conditions for the flow of vehicular traffic • Poor provisions or unsafe conditions for the flow of pedestrians • Insufficient roadway capacity leading to unusual congestion of traffic • Inadequate emergency vehicle access • Poor vehicular/pedestrian access to buildings or sites Conditions Indicative of the Presence of Blight 7 Central Firestone Conditions Study Poor internal vehicular/pedestrian circulation Excessive curb cuts/driveways in commercial areas These conditions can affect the adequacy or performance of the transportation system within the Study Area, creating a street layout that is defective or inadequate. Faulty Lot Layout in Relation to Size, Adequacy, Accessibility, or Usefulness: This factor requires an analysis of the parcels within a Study Area as to their potential and usefulness as developable sites. Conditions indicative of the presence of this factor include: • Lots that are long, narrow, or irregularly shaped • Lots that are inadequate in size • Lots with configurations that result in stagnant, misused, or unused land • Lots with billboards that have active leases, making redevelopment ii . - .lifi1IM" This analysis considers the shape, orientation, and size of undeveloped parcels within the Study Area and if these attributes would negatively impact the potential for development of the parcel. This evaluation is performed both through observation in the field and through an analysis of parcel boundary maps of the Study Area. Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions: Conditions that can be observed within a Study Area that qualify under this blight factor include: • Floodplains or flood prone areas • Inadequate storm drainage systems/evidence of standing water • Poorfire protection facilities • Above average incidences of public safety responses • Inadequate sanitation or water systems 8 Conditions Indicative of the Presence of Blight Central Firestone Conditions Study • Existence of contaminants or hazardous conditions or materials • High or unusual crime statistics • Open trash dumpsters • Severely cracked, sloped, or uneven surfaces for pedestrians • Illegal dumping • Vagrants/vandalism/graffiti/gang activity • Open ditches, holes, or trenches in pedestrian areas These represent situations in which the safety of individuals, especially pedestrians and children, may be compromised due to environmental and physical conditions considered to be unsanitary or unsafe. Deterioration of Site or Other Improvements: The conditions that apply to this blight factor reflect the deterioration of various improvements made on a site other than building structures. These conditions may represent a lack of general maintenance at a site, the physical degradation of specific improvements, or an improvement that was poorly planned or constructed. Overall, the presence of these conditions can reduce a site's usefulness and desirability and negatively affect nearby properties. • Neglected properties or evidence of general site maintenance problems • Deteriorated signage or lighting • Deteriorated fences, walls, or gates • Deterioration of on -site parking surfaces, curb & gutter, or sidewalks • Poorly maintained landscaping or overgrown vegetation • Poor parking lot/driveway layout • Unpaved parking lot on commercial properties Unusual Topography or Inadequate Public Improvements or Utilities: The focus of this factor is on the presence of unusual topographical conditions that could make development prohibitive, such as steep slopes or poor load - bearing soils, as well as deficiencies in the public infrastructure system within the Study Area that could include: Conditions Indicative of the Presence of Blight 9 Central Firestone Conditions Study • Steep slopes / rock outcroppings / poor load -bearing soils • Deteriorated public infrastructure (street/alley pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalks, street lighting, storm drainage systems) • Lack of public infrastructure (same as above) • Presence of overhead utilities or billboards • Inadequate fire protection facilities/hydrants • Inadequate sanitation or water systems Defective or Unusual Conditions of Title Rendering theTitle Non -Marketable: Certain properties can be difficult to market or redevelop if they have overly restrictive or prohibitive clauses in their deeds or titles, or if they involve an unusually complex or highly divided ownership arrangement. Examples include: Properties with covenants or other limiting clauses that significantly impair their ability to redevelop Properties with disputed or defective title Multiplicity of ownership making assemblages of land difficult or impossible Existence of Conditions that Endanger Life or Property by Fire and Other Causes: A finding of blight within this factor can result from the presence of the following conditions, which include both the deterioration of physical improvements that can lead to dangerous situations as well as the inability for emergency personnel or equipment to provide services to a site: • Buildings or sites inaccessible to fire and emergency vehicles • Blocked/poorly maintained fire and emergency access routes/ frontages • Insufficient fire and emergency vehicle turning radii • Buildings or properties not in compliance with fire codes, building codes, or environmental regulations 10 Conditions Indicative of the Presence of Blight Central Firestone Conditions Study Buildings that are Unsafe or Unhealthy for Persons to Live or Work In: Some of the conditions that can contribute to this blight factor include: Buildings or properties not in compliance with fire codes, building codes, or environmental regulations Buildings with deteriorated elements that create unsafe conditions Buildings with inadequate or improperly installed utility components Environmental Contamination of Buildings or Property: This factor represents the presence of contamination in the soils, structures, water sources, or other locations within a Study Area. Presence of hazardous substances, liquids, or gasses Existence of Factors Requiring High Levels of Municipal Services or Substantial Physical Underutilization or Vacancy of Sites, Buildings, or Other Improvements: The physical conditions that would contribute to this blight factor include: • Sites with a high incidence of fire, police, or emergency responses • Sites adjacent to streets/alleys with a high incidence of traffic accidents • Sites with a high incidence of code enforcement responses • An undeveloped parcel in a generally urbanized area • A parcel with a disproportionately small percentage of its total land area developed • Vacant structures or vacant units in multi -unit structures Conditions Indicative of the Presence of Blight 11 Central Firestone Conditions Study No document contenton this page 12 Conditions Indicative of the Presence of Blight Central Firestone Conditions Study Section 4: Study Area Location, Definition, and Description The Study Area consists of various properties in theTown of Firestone as well as adjacent unincorporated land that serves a variety of purposes, including industry, agriculture, retail, and residential. These properties include • Brookfield Property • Del Camino Properties • Brooks Farm Property • Heintzelman Property • Cambria Crossing • Firestone City Centre • Del Rey West • Sports Complex These properties are generally bounded by Interstate 25 to the west, Bella Rosa Parkway to the South, and Colorado Highway 66 to the north, and CR 17 to the east.The exception to this are the Del Camino properties, which are just west of the 1-25 / Highway 119 Interchange, and the Del Rey West property, which lies just south of Bella Rosa Parkway.

Slum, Deteriorated, or Deteriorating Structures During the field survey, structures within the Study Area were found to range from good condition to fairly dilapidated. Many buildings throughout the Study Area seemed to be vacant and had gone without maintenance for long enough to be considered deteriorated, sometimes severely so. Overall, these deteriorated buildings were prolific enough given the total number of buildings in the Study Area to make for a positive finding of this blight factor. Dilapidated structure on the Brookfield property Study Findings 17 Vacantstructure at Cambria Crossing Central Firestone Conditions Study Study Findings 19 Central Firestone Conditions Study Predominance of Defective or Inadequate Street Layout Streets in the Study Area are in need of upgrades, including pavement, curb, gutter, and sidewalks, but this is a public improvements issue rather than a layout or geometry issue, and pertains instead that blight factor, presented later in this report. The road network in the area is generally complete except for where the grid collides with the St. Wain River basin, which can be seen in Exhibit 3: Road Layout. Only certain roads cross the river basin in the area, including 1-25, Highway 66, Highway 119, Colorado Boulevard, CR 34, and the frontage road for the Interstate. Although road connectivity suffers due to the presence of the river, the roads that are severely impacted are generally dirt or gravel and serve local traffic only.The same roads could be extended across the river with bridges and additional investment, which once again is more of a lack of infrastructure rather than a road layout issue. Overall, road connectivity is of some concern, but not enough to confidently consider the overall street layout as being "defective or inadequate" No finding of lnadequote StreetLoyout has been made. The St. Wain River heavily impacts the road network in the StudyArea 20 Study Findings Central Firestone Conditions Study Faulty Lot Layout in Relation to Size, Adequacy, Accessibility, or Usefulness Current parcel maps of the Study Area reveal a wide range of parcel sizes. Some parcels are quite large, covering an entire quarter section, approximately 160 acres. At the other end of the range are small lots less than 5,000 square feet in size that are the result of subdivision for new residential neighborhoods. Many of the small platted residential lots did not have road access at the time of the field survey, although rights of way are established for future roads. Many parcels have odd shapes, but they are still large enough to be developed, with the exception of two lots in Del Camino: one is long, narrow, and only 4,966 square feet in size, while the other is triangular, 3,485 square feet, and can only be accessed through private property. The first parcel is part of a dirt parking lot, while the second is completely vacant.Three more lots in the area just north of Highway 119 are larger, but still vacant as they do not have access to public roads. A significant number of parcels in the Study Area will need to be subdivided or otherwise reconfigured to allow for redevelopment, not only to make them smaller, but also to provide rights of way for access to existing and future parcels. Currently, many parcels can't be accessed, or have significant portions that can't be accessed without the informal internal dirt roads that exist today. For example, parcels in the Kurtz Ranch area as large as a quarter square mile don't have access to public roads, but can be accessed via private internal dirt roads. Because of these lot layout and lot accessibility issues, the Study Area is considered to have Foulty Lot Loyout. Study Findings 21 Central Firestone Conditions Study Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions Illegal dumping, excessive litter, and standing water was found in a few locations in the Study Area, but the problem was not severe enough to suggest that the Study Area is unsanitary. As discussed later in this section, a portion of the Study Area lies in a 100-year floodplain, which poses a flooding risk to people in the area, notwithstanding the vacancy of parcels in the floodplain. The area last flooded in September 2013, when northern Colorado experienced a" 100-year"flood event. Aefialphoto of the St. VrainRiverin the vidnityofl-25 in September2013 There are drainage ditches in certain parts of the Study Area, but the presence of a major regional drainageway through the Study Area creates a significant flooding potential. Except in a few rare instances, the roads in the Study Area have no shoulders, curb, gutter, or sidewalk i nfrastructu re. This creates a safety issue since pedestrians must share the right of way with vehicles. Although pedestrian activity is currently limited outside of the Del Camino and Firestone City Centre areas, this issue will only grow in importance as the Study Area develops. Because of the potential for flooding and pedestrian/vehicle conflicts, there is a finding of Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions in the Study Area. 22 Study Findings Central Firestone Conditions Study Deterioration of Site or Other Improvements During the field survey, the most frequently found issues in this category were deteriorated fences and debris from illegal dumping or piles of trash that accumulated overtime. Some driving and parking areas in the Del Camino area and elsewhere were crumbled and deteriorated, and dirt and gravel lots frequently had potholes. However, the majority of the properties in the Study Area were found to be in generally good condition, and issues were generally low in severity and isolated to a few properties. No finding of Deterioration ofSite or Other Improvements has been made. WIN . YS • • • 51 Although debris from illegaldumping exists in places throughout the StudyArea, most properties were well -maintained Study Findings 23 Central Firestone Conditions Study Unusual Topography or Inadequate Public Improvements or Utilities Unusual topography in the Study Area was limited to the Heintzelman property, as much of the property had been excavated for sand and gravel.This industrial activity has severely impacted the ability of the large property to be adapted for any other uses. The topography on the Heintzelmon propertyis steep and variable Floodplain maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicate that a 100-year floodplain associated with the St. Wain River runs through the Study Area, affecting many included parcels. See Exhibit4: Eloodplain Map. Certain locations in the Study Area need additional drainage infrastructure before any type of intensive development can occur, as there is an >1% chance of those areas flooding in any given year. 24 Study Findings Central Firestone Conditions Study FEMA floodplaln data reveals that some of the Study Area ties within a 7 DO -year floodploin Public improvements were also found to be lacking; there was no curb, gutter, or sidewalk throughout the majority of the Study Area. Curb and gutter was occasionally present near the 1-25/Hwy 119 interchange, but sidewalks were missing in areas with pedestrian activity. Busy roads through the Study Area including Highways 119 and 66 had minimal or no shoulders and no sidewalk infrastructure, creating difficulties for pedestrians and automobiles in need of emergency pull-overs. Overhead utility poles were also common throughout the Study Area, which have the potential to impede redevelopment in certain cases. Finally, some roads with heavy truck traffic are unpaved, which creates a serious air pollution problem resulting from dust unless the roads are constantly kept damp. Given the amount of industrial activity in the Study Area and the growing number of residents as new subdivisions are developed, this lack of road pavement will continue to increase in importance. Study Findings 25 Central Firestone Conditions Study As discussed earlier, and shown in Exhibit 3: Road Layout, many roads in the Study Area do not cross the St. Wain River, and road connectivity suffers as a result. Overall, a significant amount of capital funding may be needed to pave and extend these roads over the river with bridges should development intensity increase. Information from theTown of Firestone indicates that the frontage road immediately east of 1-25 will need to be upgraded to accommodate increasing traffic volume, but it cannot be expanded to the west because of the 1-25 right of way, and is difficult to expand to the east because of a steep grade where it crosses the river. This infrastructure upgrade will require a significant capital expenditure. Because of the potential impact of the lack of infrastructure in the Study Area and the difficulty and cost associated with implementing the needed upgrades, there is a finding of Inadequate Publiclmprovements or Utilities. No curb or sidewalk in a developed area 26 Study Findings Central Firestone Conditions Study No shoulder orsidewalks along Highway 66 Roads with heavy truck traffic are kepi wet to prevent airborne dust Study Findings 27 Central Firestone Conditions Study Defective or Unusual Conditions of Title Rendering the Title Non -marketable Because of the large number of real property parcels within the Study Area and the considerable effort and expense required to review each property title individuallyfor disputed ownership, restrictive covenants, and other unusual conditions, this factor was not researched. For the purposes of this Study, this blight factor is considered not to be present in the Study Area. Existence of Conditions that Endanger Life or Property by Fire or Other Causes The presence of the 100-year floodplain in the Study Area is sufficient for a finding of Existence of Conditions that Endanger Life orProperty in the Study Area. Flooding two years ago has shown that the potential for property damage is significant without major upgrades to infrastructure in the area. This blight factor is therefore considered present. Buildings that are Unsafe or Unhealthy for Persons to Live or Work in Because of Building Code Violations, Dilapidation, Deterioration, Defective Design, Physical Construction, or Faulty or Inadequate Facilities While no detailed structural analysis was performed on any buildings in the Study Area, some were visibly dilapidated and partially collapsed, as discussed earlier in this section. These buildings were found in such poor condition that they can not easily be shored up, need to be completely demolished, and are currently unfit for habitation. Therefore, this factor is present in the Study Area. 28 Study Findings Central Firestone Conditions Study Environmental Contamination of Buildings or Property As part of this Conditions Study, Matrix Environmental, LLC is providing a professional opinion regarding whether Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) exist for the Firestone survey areas including potential impacts from surrounding properties. The term"Recognized Environmental Conditions" as defined by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Practice El527-13, means: [Tlhe presence or likely presence ofany hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, orato property: (1) due to anyrelease to the environment; (2) underconditions indicative ofa release to the environment; or (3) under conditions thatpose a material threat ofa future release to the environment. No sites were identified within the Study Area, however two sites were identified in the vicinity of the Del Camino properties to have past petroleum contamination that has since been mitigated: Del Camino Service Plaza &Truck Wash Conoco # 06394 Both sites had confirmed releases in 1990 and 1994 respectively, but both have also received No Further Action letters, which typically means that contamination will not spread offsite, and is at acceptable levels given the current use of the property. Two other potentially more serious issues also exist in the Del Camino area: TPI Petroleum - Second confirmed release in August 1999. Site characterization received in January 2002. Monitoring has been ongoing since 2002. Site is still active although a Closure Report was received in September 2008 indicating contamination exists onsite at concentrations exceeding Risk Based Screening Levels (RBSL). Study Findings 29 Central Firestone Conditions Study Circle K Store #2709846 - In August 2006 a third confirmed release was reported. The CDLE OPS requested a Site Characterization Report be submitted in January 2007. No additional information available for the leak incident. TheTPI release as of September 2008 has resulted in contamination levels exceeding RBSL, and the Circle K Store may still be contaminated as well, as there is no record of closure for that incident. Although it is possible for contamination to spread offsite and impact groundwater, none of the petroleum releases happened within the boundaries of the Study Area, and no contamination can be confirmed within the parcels in the Del Camino Area without further testing. The Study Area is not considered to have Environmental Contamination of Buildings or Property. 30 Study Findings Central Firestone Conditions Study The Existence of Health, Safety, or Welfare Factors Requiring High Levels of Municipal Services or Substantial Physical Underutilization or Vacancy of Sites, Buildings, or Other Improvements Uses of the land in the Study Area included agricultural, industrial, retail, and residential, but a significant portion of the area was vacant. A few formerly agricultural properties had been abandoned, others lay fallow, and a few others were undeveloped because of poor access. As mentioned, the St. Wain River floodplain presents an enormous challenge to utilizing portions of certain parcels in the Study Area for anything besides detention and natural areas without significant additional investment. Because of the amount of vacant and underutilized land in the Study Area is significant relative to the size of the Study Area as a whole, it exhibits Substantial Physical Underutilizotion or Vacancy ofSites.

The blight factors identified within the Study Area are: • Slum, Deteriorated, or Deteriorating Structures • Faulty Lot Layout in Relation to Size, Adequacy, Accessibility, or Usefulness • Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions • Unusual Topography or Inadequate Public Improvements or Utilities • Existence of Conditions that Endanger Life or Property by Fire or Other Causes • Buildings that are Unsafe or Unhealthy for Persons to Live or Work in Because of Building Code Violations, Dilapidation, Deterioration, Defective Design, Physical Construction, or Faulty or Inadequate Facilities • The Existence of Health, Safety, or Welfare Factors Requiring High Levels of Municipal Services or Substantial Physical Underutilization orVacancy of Sites, Buildings, or Other Improvements Blight Study Recommendation As discussed in Section 2, in order for an area to be declared blighted, a certain number of the 11 blight factors must be found within the Study Area. Four of the 11 factors is the required minimum, unless none of the property owners or tenants object to being included within an urban renewal area; then, the required minimum is only one of the 11 factors. In the event, however, that eminent domain is to be used to acquire property within the urban renewal area, the required minimum is fwe of the 11 factors. Since seven blight factors were identified within the Study Area, a sufficient number of blight factors exist under any of the above scenarios. It is the recommendation of this blight Study report to theTown of Firestone and the Firestone Urban Renewal Authority, that the Study Area, in its present condition, exhibits a sufficient level of blight to be considered a "blighted Study Summary and Recommendation 33 Central Firestone Conditions Study area" under the standards set forth in State Statute. Whether the blighted area "substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the municipality, retards the provision of housing accommodations, or constitutes an economic orsociol liability, and is a menace to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare" is a determination that must be made by theTown of Firestone. 34 Study Summary and Recommendation Exhibit D Legal Description Areas Assessed As Agricultural Within The Last Five Years La] EXHIBIT D LEGAL DESCRIPTION CENTRAL FIRESTONE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AREA Parcels Assessed as Agricultural in the Past Five (5) Years Prepared: October 12, 2015 Being those portions of Sections 25, 35 and 36 of Township 3 North, Range 68 West of the 6' Principle Meridian, and those portions of Sections 12 and 24 of Township 2 North, Range 68 West of the 611 Principle Meridian, and those portions of Section 32 of Township 3 North, Range 67 West of the 6t" Principle Meridian, and those portions of Section 6 of Township 2 North, Range 67 West of the 61' Principle Meridian, all in the Town of Firestone, Weld County, Colorado, more particularly described as follows: BAREFOOT LAKES A PARCEL OF LAND LOCATED IN SECTIONS 25, 35 AND 36, TOWNSHIP 3 NORTH, RANGE 68 WEST OF THE SIXTH PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, COUNTY OF WELD, STATE OF COLORADO, BEING MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS: COMMENCING AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF SAID SECTION 25 AND CONSIDERING THE EAST LINE OF THE NORTHEAST QUARTER OF SAID SECTION 25 TO BEAR SOUTH 00°19'19" EAST, A DISTANCE OF 2,647.60 FEET WITH ALL BEARINGS CONTAINED HEREIN BEING RELATIVE THERETO; THENCE SOUTH 17035'14" WEST, A DISTANCE OF 97.56 FEET TO A POINT ON THE WESTERLY PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF WELD COUNTY ROAD 13 AND THE POINT OF BEGINNING; THENCE ALONG SAID WESTERLY PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHT-OF-WAY, SOUTH 00°19'19" EAST, A DISTANCE OF 2555.65 FEET TO A POINT ON THE SOUTH LINE OF THE NORTHEAST QUARTER OF SAID SECTION 25 AND A POINT ON THE NORTHERLY BOUNDARY OF THAT PARCEL OF LAND DESCRIBED AT RECEPTION NUMBER 1606745, IN SAID RECORDS; THENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARIES OF SAID PARCEL OF LAND THE FOLLOWING THREE (3) COURSES; 1.

Summary of Tax Revenue Rates and Values 1.0 Introduction This report outlines the anticipated fiscal impacts of the Central Firestone Urban Renewal Plan ("Central Plan") on Weld County ("County"). A map of the Central Plan Area is shown as Exhibit A. 1.1 Report Requirements This report responds to the requirements outlined in C.R.S. 31-25-107 (3.5): C.R.S. 31-25-107: APPROVAL OF URBAN RENEWAL PLANS BY THE LOCAL GOVERNING BODY (3.5) "[P]rior to the hearing on an urban renewal plan ... the governing body or the authority shall also submit an urban renewal impact report, which shall include, at a minimum, the following information concerning the impact of such plan: I. The estimated duration of time to complete the urban renewal project; The estimated annual property tax increment to be generated by the urban renewal project and the portion of such property tax increment to be allocated during this period to fund the urban renewal project; III. An estimate of the impact of the urban renewal project on county revenues and on the cost and extent of additional county infrastructure and services required to serve development within the proposed urban renewal area, and the benefit of improvements within the urban renewal area to existing county infrastructure; IV. A statement setting forth the method under which the authority or the municipality will finance, or that agreements are in place to finance, any additional county infrastructure and services required to serve development in the urban renewal area for the period in which all or any portion of the property taxes described in subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of subsection (9) of this section and levied by a county are paid to the authority; and V. Any other estimated impacts of the urban renewal project on county services or revenues. 2.0 Summary of the Central Plan The following information provides a summary of the Central Plan and its potential financial impacts to the County. The calculations noted herein include the assumption that the current Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA") between the Firestone Urban Renewal Authority ("FURA") and the County for the Southern and Northern Firestone Urban Renewal Plans will be amended to include the Central Plan or an additional intergovernmental agreement will be created. 3.0 Development Program The proposed development program for the Central Plan is consistent with current policy documents and plans adopted or utilized by the Town of Firestone. The anticipated redevelopment and development program over the next 25 years is summarized in Table 1. Table 1: Central Firestone Urban Renewal Plan Proposed Development Program Dwelling Units Sa. Feet Residential, Single Family 3.000 Residential, Multi -Family 900 Employment Industrial/Office 175,000 Commercial Retail/Office 200,000 Total 4.0 Development Timing 3,900 11100,000 The development timetable for the proposed program presented above will ultimately be determined by prevailing market conditions. A key component of the analysis presented in this report is the assumption that key parcels within the Central Plan Area will be redeveloped or developed into a mix of residential, employment and commercial land uses. For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that redevelopment and new development in the area would be substantially completed during the 25-year term of the Central Plan. No significant growth in the Central Plan Area is anticipated until 2016. 5.0 Development Assumptions and Calculations In order to assess the fiscal impacts to Weld County, a variety of land use and development assumptions have been made. These assumptions and related calculations are shown in Exhibits B through F. All the various properties in the Central Plan Area were analyzed for development and redevelopment potential, including zoning, physical characteristics, proximity to infrastructure and the amount of necessary blight mitigation. The percentage of open space, residential densities and floor area ratios for non-residential development are consistent with typical development that has occurred in Firestone. For all land use categories reviewed in the area, the ultimate development potential is generally consistent with the growth totals shown in Table 1. All calculations shown are in 2015 dollar values. The values shown are the estimated incremental values of vertical construction. The incremental value of land, especially land that is currently assessed as agricultural, was not included in these calculations, as such lands are assumed to be currently valued at market rates. In order to make the analysis as straight forward as possible, assumed changes in the base valuation or any potential tax rate changes were not considered. 2 Exhibit B identifies growth and revenue projections for the development of single-family residential land uses in the Central Plan Area. Past growth trends of this product type were reviewed and an annual growth rate as shown in Exhibit B was projected for the Town through the year 2040. As this total growth is on a Town wide basis, the percentage of this growth assumed to be developed in the Central Plan Area is as shown in Exhibit B. The total annual projected single-family residential dwelling unit amount is also shown in Exhibit B. The average market value for each single-family residential dwelling unit was projected to be $400,000. At the County's approximate mill levy of 17 mills and an assessed value rate of and estimated 8%, each home will yield the County $544 annually in property tax revenue. Exhibit B shows the annual and cumulative values of the County's property tax relative to the projected number of single-family homes. Exhibit C identifies growth and revenue projections for the development of multi -family residential land uses in the Central Plan Area. This type of land use appears to be gaining momentum in Firestone; therefore a 6.5% annual growth rate was projected for the Town through the year 2040. This rate was based on historical single-family growth data. As this total growth is on a Town wide basis, the percentage of this growth assumed to be developed in the Central Plan Area was 75 percent. The total annual projected multi -family residential dwelling units are shown on Exhibit C. The market value for each multi -family residential dwelling unit was projected to be $250,000. At the County's approximate mill levy of 17 mills and an assessed value rate of 8% each home would yield the County $340 annually in property tax revenues. Exhibit C shows the annual and cumulative values of the County's property tax relative to the projected number of multi -family homes. Exhibit D shows the calculations for the anticipated private sector employment/office and private sector commercial/office land uses in the Central Plan Area. Historic data on the ratio of Firestone population to square feet of employment/office and commercial/office lands uses was calculated. There are approximately 50 square feet of employment/office and approximately 70 square feet of commercialloffice per resident. These values were multiplied by the population projections from new residential development in the Central Plan Area to create an annual absorption rate for both employment/office and commercial/office land uses in the Central Plan Area. Exhibit E identifies revenue projections for the development of employment/office and commercial/office land uses in the Central Plan Area. Using a building value of $110 per square foot for employmentloffice land uses, the County's approximate mill levy of 17 mills and an assessed value rate of 29%, each square foot of employment/office development would yield the County $0.54 per square foot annually. Using a building value of $130 per square foot for commercial/office land uses, the County's mill levy of approximately 17 mills and an assessed value rate of 29% each square foot of commercial/office development would yield the County $0.64 per square foot annually. Exhibit E shows the annual and cumulative County tax revenue for employment and commercial land uses in the Central Plan Area. Exhibit F provides a summary of all the land uses and associated County and total 3 property tax revenues on an annual and cumulative basis. As with all the exhibits, Exhibit F also assumes an amendment of the current IGA or a new intergovernmental agreement+ between the County and FURA using the same revenue allocation rate of 50 percent. 6.0 Property Tax Revenue Based on assumptions and calculations shown in Exhibits B through F, the incremental County tax revenue that would be deferred during the 25-year term of the Plan would be a net $1,330,472. The "net" amount assumes the 50 percent revenue allocation rate as noted in the IGA. After the 25-year term, the County would receive approximately $123,578 annually from the Central Plan Area. 7.0 Use of Revenue All revenues received by FURA from the Central Plan will be utilized to mitigate blight in the Central Plan Area. 8.0 Sales Tax Revenue Weld County does not have a sales tax and thus no sales tax revenue would be allocated to the FURA under the Central Plan. 9.0 County Services 1 Infrastructure Because the entire Central Plan is located within the Town of Firestone's municipal boundaries, there is anticipated to be a minimal impact on County services. Infrastructure impacts associated with the proposed development program are assumed to be financed by the Town of Firestone with increment revenues or some combination of increment dollars, grants, general fund dollars, special district dollars or other sources. Impacts to the County's general government services could increase in the general area due to an increase in non-residential and residential development, but such impacts should also be relatively insignificant and more than offset by the increase in value realized by properties contiguous to the Central Plan Area. Additionally, impacts to County social services and jail services are addressed by the 50 percent revenue allocation identified in the IGA. 4 EXHIBIT A EXHIBIT B Exhibit B Single Family Residential Tax Revenue Rates and Values For the Central Plan Year Total DUs Annual Growth Rate Annual FS DUs Percent DUs in FURA Annual FURA DUs County Tax Per DU Annual County Tax Annual County Tax At 50% 2015 2016 3,500 6.0% 210 40.0% 84 544 45,696 22,848 2017 3,630 6.0% 218 40.0% 87 544 47,387 23,693 2018 3,764 6.0% 226 50.0% 113 544 61,425 30,713 2019 3,903 6.0% 234 50.0% 117 544 63,698 31,849 2020 4,047 6.0% 243 50.0% 121 544 66,055 33,027 2021 4197 6.0% 252 50.0% 126 544 68,499 34,249 2022 4,353 6.0% 261 50.0% 131 544 71,033 35,517 2023 4,514 6.0% 271 50.0% 135 544 73 661 36 831 2024 4,681 6.0% 281 50.0% 140 544 76,387 38,193 2025 4,854 6.0% 291 50.0% 146 544 79,213 39,607 2026 5,033 6.0% 302 50.0% 151 544 82,144 41072 2027 5,220 6.0% 313 50.0% 157 544 85183 42,592 2028 5,413 6.0% 325 50.0% 162 544 88,335 44168 2029 5,613 6.0% 337 50.0% 168 544 91,603 45,802 2030 5,821 5.0% 291 50.0% 146 544 79,161 39,580 2031 6,036 5.0% 302 50.0% 151 544 82,090 41,045 2032 6,259 5.0% 313 50.0% 156 544 85,127 42,563 2033 6,491 2.5% 162 50.0% 81 544 44,138 22,069 2034 6,731 3.0% 202 50.0% 101 544 54,926 27,463 2035 6,980 3.0% 209 50.0% 105 544 56,958 28,479 2036 7,238 3.0% 217 50.0% 109 544 59,065 29,533 2037 7,506 3.0% 225 50.0°% 113 544 61,251 30,625 2038 7,784 3.0% 234 50.0% 117 544 63,517 31759 2039 8,072 3.0% 242 50.0% 121 544 65,867 32,934 2040 8,371 3.0% 251 50.0% 126 544 68,304 34,152 Total Notes 1 FS stands for Firestone. 2 DU stands for dwelling unit. 3 CP stands for the Central Plan, 4 Projections are estimates only. 5 Tax revenue is shown in dollars. 3,038 1,652,419 826,210 EXHIBIT C Exhibit C Multi -Family Residential Tax Revenue Rates and Values Forth e Central Plan Year Total DUs Annual Growth Rate Annual FS DUs Percent DUs in FURA Annual FURA DUs County Tax Per DU Annual County Tax Annual County Tax At 50% 2015 2016 300 6.5% 20 75.0% 15 3401 4,973 2,486 2017 320 6.5% 21 75.0% 16 340 5,296 2,648 2018 340 6.5% 22 75.0% 17 340 5,640 2,820 2019 362 6.5% 24 75.0% 18 340 6,007 3,003 2020 386 6.5% 25 75.0% 19 340 6,397 3,198 2021 411 6.5% 27 75.0% 20 340K1O, 3,406 2022 438 6.5% 28 75.0% 21 340 3,628 2023 466 6.5% 30 75.0% 23 340 3,864 2024 496 6.5% 32 75.0% 24 340 4,115 2025 529 6.5% 34 75.0% 26 340 4,382 2026 563 6.5% 37 75.0% 27 340 4,667 2027 600 6.0% 36 75.0% 27 340 4,588 2028 636 6.0% 38 75.0% 29 340 4,863 2029 674 6.0% 40 75.0% 30 340 5,155 2030 714 6.0% 43 75.0% 32 340 10,929 5,464 2031 757 6.0% 45 75.0% 34 340 11 585 5,792 2032 803 6.0% 48 75.0% 36 340 12,280 6,140 2033 851 6.0% 51 75.0% 38 340 13,016 6,508 2034 902 6.0% 54 75.0% 41 340 13,797 6,899 2035 956 6.0% 57 75.0% 43 340 14,625 7,313 2036 1,013 6.0% 61 75.0% 46 340 15,503 7,751 2037 1,074 6.0% 64 75.0% 48 340 16,433 8,217 2038 1,138 6.0% 68 75.0% 51 340 17,419 8,709 2039 1,207 1 6.0% 72 75.0% 54 340 18,464 9,232 2040 1 1,279 1 6.0%1 77 1 75.0% 58 340 19,572 9,786 Total 1,036 792 269,272 134,636 Notes 1 FS stands for Firestone. 2 DU stands for dwe[ling unit. 3 CP stands for the Central Plan. 4 Projections are estimates only. 5 Tax revenue is shown in dollars.

It is the responsibility of the employee using the petty cash fund to obtain and use the Town's tax-exempt identification number. Tax paid will not be reimbursed or otherwise covered by the Town. Bidding Bidding procedures are used to provide vendors the opportunity to bid, to elicit greater vendor response, to meet competitive bid requirements when imposed by state or federal law, and to promote competitive prices from vendors for the purchase of capital equipment and other items of significant monetary value. The Board of Trustees or Town Manager may direct the use of a higher level bidding process on the purchase of any product or service regardless of the amount to be spent. As used herein, "bid" and "bidding" shall include requests for bids, requests for proposals, or requests for qualifications.

All purchases of any water rights or any interest in land require approval by the Board of Trustees. Contracts for, the purchase of property, liability and other insurance coverage, and contracts for the purchase or administration of employee health, welfare or insurance benefits shall be subject to formal bidding no less frequently than once every four years; however, the foregoing shall not limit the authority of the Board of Trustees or Town Manager to direct the use of formal bidding for any renewal. 3 Types of Bids Informal Bids All purchases within the financial parameters of $5,000.00 to $49,999.99 shall require informal bidding procedures. • For purchases between $5,000.00 and $24,999.99, the requesting department shall obtain and document a minimum of three (3) verbal quotations, and such quotations shall be documented for the file. • For purchases between $25,000.00 and $50,000.00, the requesting department shall obtain and document a minimum of three (3) written quotations.

Bonding Requirements: Bonds shall be executed on forms prescribed or approved by the Town Manager based on review by the Town Attorney as to form and State of Colorado law. Normally, bonds are used only on labor and materials procurement actions, such as projects for completion of public works or public buildings. Bonds generally are not required for purchases of vehicles, equipment, or standard commercial goods and services, particularly when the goods are not altered or customized to unique Town specifications, but may be required if deemed by the procuring department to be in the interests of the Town. Examples of bonds are: Bid Bonds: This bond is intended to protect the Town against a bidder's failure to honor its bid. The bid bond requirement may be satisfied by receipt of a certified bank check or a bid bond. The bid security is submitted as guarantee that the bid will be maintained in full force and effect for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the opening of bids or as specified in the solicitation documents.

Unless the Town is legally required to accept a bond in lesser amount, the performance bond shall be in amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the price specified in the contract. Payment Bonds: This bond is intended to secure payment of subcontractors and suppliers. A payment bond for the protection of all persons supplying labor and material to the contractor or its subcontractors may be required for all capital projects contracts awarded in excess of $50,000. Unless the Town is legally required to accept a bond in lesser amount, the payment bond shall be in an amount equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the price specified in the contract. Insurance Requirements: Contracts for labor, materials and services entered into by the Town will require the selected contractor to carry the types and minimum amounts of insurance coverage as required by the Town. The contracts shall also contain other provisions regarding insurance as the Town shall require. The following are the types and minimum amounts of insurance that should be required: a. Workers' Compensation in statutory limits (if applicable). b. Employer's Liability Insurance: $100,000/ each accident, $500,000/ disease - policy limit, and $100,0001 disease - each employee. c. Comprehensive General Liability Insurance: $1,000,000/Occurrence d. Automobile Liability or Hired & Non -Owned Vehicle Liability Insurance: $1,000,000/each accident (if applicable). e. Professional Liability Insurance: $1,000,0001Occurrence (if applicable). Certain types of insurance may not be applicable to a particular contract. For example, professional liability insurance would not be applicable to a contract for installation of playground equipment. Whether a particular type of insurance is applicable, or whether amounts of coverage should be changed, shall be determined by the Director of Corporate Services, in consultation with the Town Attorney. Depending on the type of contract or services to be provided, higher insurance coverages may be required. Bid documents should state the Town's anticipated insurance and bond requirements for the contract to be awarded. Bidders should be advised that the successful bidder shall be required to meet the Town's insurance and bonding requirements and provide certificates of insurance with the Town named as additional insured on required liability insurance coverages, and that the contractor shall not commence work until it has obtained all insurance required by the contract documents and such insurance has been approved by Town. Bidders List: A bidder's list may be establish and maintained by individual Branches in an effort to promote competitive bidding from qualified vendors and to establish a source of suppliers. Additional bidder pre -qualification may also be utilized for specific procurements. Evaluation of Bids: In addition to the bid amount, additional factors will be considered as an integral part of the bid evaluation process, including, but not limited to: • The bidder's ability, capacity and skill to perform within the specified time limits; • The bidder's experience, reputation, efficiency, judgment, and integrity; • The quality, availability, and adaptability of the supplies or materials bid; • Bidder's past performance; • Sufficiency of bidder's financial resources to fulfill the contract; • Bidder's ability to provide future maintenance and/or service; • Other applicable factors as the Town determines necessary or appropriate (such as compatibility with existing facilities, equipment or hardware); and • If a bid other than the lowest bid is recommended, the requesting department must demonstrate how the higher bid serves the best interests of the Town. Contracts for Engineering Design and Construction Management Services The following bidding requirements shall apply to engineering design and construction management services for capital improvement projects: • Under $30,000: Engineering design and construction management services under $30,000 may be approved by the Branch Head and Town Manager as non -bid procurements.

Use of State Bids would override the formal bidding process and procedures listed above, except in situations where use of competitive bidding is required in conjunction or as a condition of receipt of federal or state funding for the project. The determination of whether to use State Bids shall be made by the Branch Head. Cooperative Purchasing -- National Joint Powers Alliance C.R.S. § 24-110-201 gives the Town the authority to participate in cooperative procurement endeavors, such as cooperative purchasing. Cooperative purchasing is permitted on items priced up to $150,000 through the use of National Joint Powers Alliance's ("NJPA") national cooperative contract solutions. Use of NJPA would be an alternative to use of the Town formal bidding procedures listed above; however, NJPA may not be used in situations where use of competitive bidding is required in conjunction or as a condition of receipt of federal or state funding. The determination of whether to use NJPA shall be made by the Branch Head. Use of other cooperative purchasing units as an alternative to use of Town formal bidding procedures is allowed only if use of such cooperative purchasing unit has been approved in advance in writing by the Town Manager. Colorado law requires that cooperative purchasing groups meet specific requirements if they are to be used by local governments. Town Attorney review shall be obtained as needed to confirm whether the proposed use of a cooperative purchasing unit meets statutory cooperative purchasing requirements. 9 Integrated Project Delivery Contracting Process The Board of Trustees may award an integrated project delivery ("IPD," sometimes referred to as "design -build") contract for a Town capital improvements project, or other public project as defined in C.R.S. § 31-25-1303, upon a determination by the Board of Trustees that IPD represents a timely or cost-effective alternative for the public project.

PRUDENCE The standard of prudence to be used for managing the Town's investment program is the "prudent investor' standard applicable to a fiduciary, which states that a prudent investor "shall exercise the judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which men of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of the property of another, not in regard to speculation but in regard to the permanent disposition of funds, considering the probable income as well as the probable safety of capital." (Colorado Revised Statutes 15-1-304, Standard for Investments.) The Town's overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The Town recognizes that no investment is totally without risk and that its investment activities are a matter of public record. Accordingly, the Town recognizes that occasional measured losses may occur in a diversified portfolio and shall be considered within the context of the overall portfolio's return, provided that adequate diversification has been implemented and that the sale of a security is in the best long-term interest of the Town. The Budget and Financial Analyst and other authorized persons acting in accordance with established procedures and exercising good faith and due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments and any deviations from expectations are reported to the Town Board of Trustees in the next monthly financial report. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Town officials and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the Town's investment program or that could impair or create the appearance of an impairment of their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Town officials and employees shall disclose to the Budget and Financial Analyst any material financial interest they have in financial institutions that conduct business with the Town. The Budget and Financial Analyst shall disclose any such interest he or she has to the Board of Town of Firestone Investment Policy Page 2 Trustees. Town officials and employees shall subordinate their personal investment transactions to those of the Town, and shall refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the Town.

The performance of the investment portfolio shall be compared to the average yield on the U.S. Treasury security that most closely corresponds to the investment portfolio's weighted average effective maturity.

See Chapter 7 of this Plan for further details regarding the following table. The following table hereby certifies this review. YEAR _ DATE SIGNATURE 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 INTERNATIONAL EMER009" mm"Im EMI 2 Executive Summary In July 2015 a diverse group of stakeholders came together to update the Weld County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. This is the first time Weld County developed a Hazard Mitigation Plan on its own and the major goals of the planning effort were to re-evaluate local risk and vulnerability to hazards, to develop cross -jurisdictional partnerships and public outreach processes, and to develop a new, robust, county -specific hazard mitigation strategy. In September of 2013 Weld County experienced the most devastating flood in the county's history, resulting in damages to homes, businesses, public buildings and infrastructure. The flood event damaged over 2,000 residential parcels in Weld County, as well as over 1,400 agricultural and over 300 commercial parcels. One Hundred Sixty Weld County roads were under water or affected in some way by the flood and over 20 municipalities within Weld County were impacted by the event. Due to the flood event, a key priority of the county and its local jurisdictions was to update the hazard profile included in the existing Northeast Colorado Regional Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan with improved floodplain information that was collected after the 2013 floods. One of the long-term goals of the updated plan is to guide development away from high hazard areas and to use improved hazard mapping products to better communicate risk to local residents and stakeholders. The Weld County Office of Emergency Management (Weld OEM), in coordination with other county departments, assumed the lead role in the development of the 2016 Weld County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. In order to ensure a meaningful planning process, Weld OEM actively encouraged participation from all jurisdictions within the county. Weld OEM fostered participation by prioritizing continuous contact (for example, by sending out regular email reminders and following up with phone calls to discuss action items and challenges). Weld OEM also met one-on-one with local jurisdictions to discuss the results of the risk assessment, to identify feasible mitigation actions, and to help with action prioritization. Developing ongoing relationships and collaboration related to the hazard mitigation plan remains a high priority for Weld County. Moving forward, the Weld County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee will build off of the relationships developed during this planning process and will continue to play an active role in annual plan reviews and resilience -building efforts 19 - I N T E R N A T 1 0 N A L EMERGENCY MAtUGEMEW WELD COUNTY 2016 MUl71-JURISDIC*T10NAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN 3 The Planning Process This section of the Plan describes the mitigation planning process undertaken by Weld County and participating jurisdictions in the preparation of this Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. This chapter consists of the following subsections: • Background • Hazard Mitigation Planning • Local Methodology and Update Process • The Planning Team • Planning Meetings and Documentation • Public and Stakeholder Participation • Multi -Jurisdictional Planning and Participation • Existing Planning Mechanisms • Community Profiles 3.1 Background Emergency Management is the discipline of identifying, managing, and avoiding risks. It involves preparing for a disaster before it occurs, supporting those affected by disasters, and planning and rebuilding after a natural or human -caused hazard event. Emergency Management is a cyclical, dynamic process by which individuals, groups, and communities attempt to manage hazards in an effort to avoid or reduce the impact of disasters. A critical piece of the Emergency Management Cycle is Hazard Mitigation Planning, Hazard Mitigation Planning is a process by which communities identify their risks and vulnerabilities and outline policies, capabilities, activities, and tools necessary to implement successful and sustainable mitigation strategies. Why is mitigation planning important? Mitigation planning offers many benefits, including: • Protection of lives and property; • Reduction of economic losses; • Quick and effective recovery following disasters; • Reduction of future vulnerability through smart development and post -disaster recovery and reconstruction; • Enhanced coordination within and across participating jurisdictions; • Efficient receipt of pre -disaster and post -disaster grant funding; and • Development of a firm commitment to improving community health, safety, and resilience. Mitigation planning is meant to result in long-term and recurring local benefits by breaking the repetitive cycle of disaster loss. A core assumption of hazard mitigation is that pre -disaster investments significantly reduce the demand for post -disaster assistance by lessening the need for emergency response, repair, recovery, and reconstruction. Furthermore, mitigation practices enable local residents, businesses, and industries to re-establish themselves in the wake of a disaster, getting the community economy back on track sooner and with less interruption. In practice, the benefits of mitigation planning go beyond reducing hazard vulnerability. For example, strategies such as the acquisition or regulation of land in known hazard areas can help achieve multiple r. 0. 1 10 -� :or �� INTERNATIONAL [MFRGEN[T MAN�([M[X[ community goals, including preserving open space, improving water quality, maintaining environmental health, and enhancing recreational opportunities. Thus, it is vitally important that local mitigation planning processes are integrated with other concurrent local planning efforts. Moreover, any proposed mitigation strategies must take into account other existing community goals or initiatives that will help complement or hinder their future implementation. Weld County and its municipalities have embraced this approach, identifying multiple opportunities to link the Plan with pre-existing programs, policies, plans, and initiatives. During the lasttwo decades, the approach to the emergency management cycle has evolved considerably. A new emphasis has been placed on planning for disasters before they occur as a complement to effective response and recovery. As a result, hazard mitigation has gained increasing prominence as a critical part of emergency management. By implementing strategic hazard mitigation projects, local and regional risks can be proactively and systematically reduced over time. This 2016 Plan is the result of continuing work by the citizens of Weld County to update a regional pre - disaster multi -hazard mitigation plan. Not only will this Plan continue to guide the county towards greater disaster resistance, but will also respect the character and needs of local jurisdictions and their residents. PURPOSE Weld County adopted the Northeast Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan in September, 2009. The 2009 Plan provided momentum for making homes, businesses, and communities as safe as possible against the impacts of floods, tornadoes, winter weather, and other natural hazards. It also assessed the effectiveness of prior and current programs and activities in the region and identified shortfalls; mitigation measures were further developed to help reduce the region's exposure to emerging natural hazards. Weld County has remained dedicated in continuing the work started in the 2009 Northeast Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan and has elected to develop a county -scale hazard mitigation plan. The purpose of the 2016 Weld County Multi -Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan is: • To protect life and property by reducing the potential for future damages and economic losses that result from natural hazards; • To qualify for additional grant funding, in both the pre -disaster and post -disaster environment; • To provide quick recovery and redevelopment following future disasters; • To integrate other existing and associated local planning documents; • To demonstrate a firm local commitment to hazard mitigation principles; • To comply with state and federal legislative requirements tied to local hazard mitigation planning; and • To increase local and regional resilience to hazards. SCOPE This 2016 Plan has been prepared to meet requirements set forth by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) in order for Weld County to be eligible for funding and technical assistance from state and federal hazard mitigation programs. It will continue to be updated and maintained to continually address those natural hazards determined to be of high and moderate risk as defined by the updated results of the local hazard, - �Y� INTERNATIONAL FMIFAZ LV MANKFMFNF risk, and vulnerability summary. Other natural hazards will continue to be evaluated during future updates of the Plan in order to determine if they warrant additional attention, including the development of specific mitigation measures intended to reduce their impact. This Plan will be updated and FEMA- approved within its five-year expiration date. AUTHORITY This Hazard Mitigation Plan has been adopted by Weld County and its participating jurisdictions in accordance with the authority granted to counties and municipalities by the State of Colorado. This Plan was developed in accordance with current state and federal rules and regulations governing local hazard mitigation plans. The Plan shall be monitored and updated on a routine basis to maintain compliance with the following legislation and guidance: • Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C., Section 322, Mitigation Planning, as enacted by Section 104 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-390) and by FEMA's Interim Final Rule published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2002, at 44 CFR Part 201 The following Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) guides and reference documents were used to prepare this document: • FEMA. 386-1: Getting Started.

The process results in a hazard mitigation plan that identifies specific mitigation actions, each designed to achieve both short term planning objectives and a long-term community vision. To ensure the timely implementation of each mitigation action, responsibility is assigned to a specific individual, department, or agency along with a schedule for its implementation. Plan maintenance procedures are established to help implement, evaluate, and enhance the Plan as necessary. Developing clear plan maintenance procedures ensures that Weld County's Multi -Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan remains a current, dynamic, and effective planning tool over time. 12 - INTERNATIONAL ENIEAGENCT mANAGEm ENf WELD COUNTY 2016 MUi+TI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN 3.3 Local Methodology and Update Process This updated Plan contains a comprehensive narrative that describes the planning process. All municipalities were notified of the participation requirements related to the adoption of the plan and the formation of the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC). Numerous planning meetings were held to ensure that all information contained in the plan is correct, and that the input provided by participating agencies, organizations, and the public has been included. Throughout the planning process, the Weld County HMPC reviewed and analyzed each section of the plan. In preparing the updated Plan, documentation indicates that the planning team utilized a multi -jurisdictional planning process consistent with the one recommended by FEMA (Publication Series 386). Development of the 2009 Northeast Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan was a collaborative effort on the part of the Northeast Colorado Emergency Management Association, a consortium of ten northeast Colorado counties, including Weld County. Originally developed in 2004, the 2009 version of the plan was the first update of the required 5 year plan update. In 2009, the planning process was led by two distinct planning teams: The Multi -County Planning Committee (MCPC) — a coordinating planning team made up of all 10 County Emergency Managers and select state and federal agency representatives, and 10 local government teams (County Planning Subcommittees) — one for each participating county. Every local government and adoption -eligible entity in each county was invited to participate. The following entities participated in the 2009 planning process through their participation in the Weld County Planning Subcommittee. Participating Jurisdictions in 2009 Participating Stakeholders in 2009 Weld County Town of LaSalle Centennial Critical Incident Stress City of Dacono Town of Mead Management City of Evans Town of Milliken AIMS Community College City of Fort Lupton Town of New Raymer Union Colony Fire Rescue Authority City of Greeley Town of Nunn (UCFRA) — Greeley Town of Ault Town of Pierce Colorado Division of Emergency Town of Firestone Town of Platteville Management Town of Frederick Town of Severance Loup Reservoir Company Town of Garden City Town of Windsor BBWI -- Fort St. Wain Generating Town of Gilcrest Weld County RE-4, RE-6, and Station Town of Grover RE-8 School Districts South Weld Victim Services Town of Hudson Platte Valley Schools Town of Kersey Platte Valley Fire District At the start of the 2009 Plan update process, the MCPC developed a plan for public involvement designed to provide opportunities for the public and stakeholders to comment on the plan at all stages of its development. Because of the large size and diversity of the Northern Colorado Emergency Management planning region, the MCPC also relied greatly on the County Planning Subcommittees to inform and gather input from the public. The 2009 Northeast Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan and the current 2013 State of Colorado Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan were reviewed for incorporation into the 2016 Weld County Multi- KMom:--, I 130 MU v I N T E R N A T 1 0 N A L EMERGENCY "KAGCMEM Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Additionally, the following documents were reviewed and incorporated into the 2016 plan update as appropriate: • 2013 Colorado Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan • 2009 Weld County Water District Water Conservation Plan • 2013 Colorado Drought Mitigation and Response Plan • 2014 State of Colorado Action Plan for Disaster Recovery • City of Greeley 2060 Comprehensive Plan • 2014 City of Evans Riverside Master Plan • 2010 City of Evans Comprehensive Plan • 2012 Town of Gilcrest Comprehensive Plan Update • Town of Ault Comprehensive Plan • City of Dacono Comprehensive Plan (2015 update in process) • 2013 Firestone Master Plan • Fort Lupton Comprehensive Plan • 2007 Town of Hudson Comprehensive Plan • 2005 Town of Erie Comprehensive Plan • 2005 Keenesburg Comprehensive Plan • 2006 Town of Windsor Comprehensive Plan • 2012 Town of Eaton Comprehensive Plan • 2007/2013 Fort Lupton Comprehensive Plan • Town Frederick Comprehensive Plan (201S update in process) • 2007 Johnstown Comprehensive Plan • Town of Kersey Comprehensive Plan • 2009 Town of Mead Comprehensive Plan • Town of Milliken Comprehensive Plan (2015 update in process) • 2010 Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan The Weld County Planning Element of the 2009 Northeast Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan addressed sixteen (16) natural hazards. Each hazard was assessed by previous occurrences, vulnerability, and exposure to County and municipal assets, and potential loss estimates. In addition, the 2009 Plan defined those hazards that were considered to have the highest probability of occurrence. The 2016 update to the 2009 Plan was initiated in May 2015. Michael Baker International (located in Lakewood, Colorado) provided planning support and guidance to Weld County throughout the Plan update process. The planning process used for the 2016 Plan update was based on Section 322 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and supporting guidance developed by FEMA. The planning process followed the steps outlined below: • Conduct kickoff meeting with the Weld County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) • Conduct a 5-year Plan review 7`l,a . 114 F .- - INTERNAT10NAL £M£AGEN" MANAGEMENT • Conduct a Hazard Risk Factor exercise • Establish a Weld County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) made up of local stakeholders and subject matter experts • Review and update the local hazard, risk, and vulnerability summary • Determine capability for the county and each municipality • Update the mitigation strategy • Update the Plan maintenance procedures • Complete a draft plan for review by the Weld County HMPC • Advertise opportunity/hold public meeting for comment on final draft • Provide final draft to DHSEM for review • Provide final draft to FEMA for review • Present Plan to municipalities for adoption • Present Plan to Weld County for adoption Each of the planning steps described above resulted in key products and outcomes that collectively make up the Multi -Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan. These work elements are further discussed below for introductory purposes. The County and Community Profiles, located in Chapters 4 and Appendix B, describe the general makeup of Weld County and its municipalities (respectively), including prevalent geographic, demographic, and economic characteristics. This baseline information provides a snapshot of the countywide planning area and thereby assists participating officials in recognizing those social, environmental, and economic factors that ultimately play a role in determining community vulnerability to natural hazards. The hazard Risk Assessment (RA), found in Chapter 5, focuses on three elements for each identified hazard: Hazard Identification/Profile, Hazard Analysis and a Vulnerability/Loss Assessment. Together, these elements serve to identify, analyze, and assess Weld County's overall risk to natural and human - caused hazards. The RA builds on available historical data from previous occurrences, establishes hazard - by -hazard profiles, and culminates in a hazard risk priority or ranking based on conclusions about the frequency of occurrence, potential impact, spatial extent, warning time, and duration of each hazard. FEMA's Hazus loss estimation software was also used in evaluating known flood and earthquake risks according to their relative long-term cost, measured in expected damages. The RA is designed to assist communities in seeking the most appropriate mitigation actions to pursue and implement by focusing their efforts on those hazards of greatest concern and those structures or planning areas facing the greatest risk(s). The Community Profiles and RA serve as the basis for establishing goals for this Plan, each contributing to the development, adoption, and implementation of a meaningful Mitigation Strategy update that is based on accurate background information and community goals. The Mitigation Strategy, located in Chapter 6, consists of broad goal statements as well as specific mitigation actions for each jurisdiction participating in the planning process. The updated strategy includes detailed Mitigation Action Guides (MAGs) that link jurisdiction -specific mitigation actions to locally assigned implementation mechanisms. Together, these sections are designed to make the 2016 15 ' - - INTERNATIONAL EMERGERCY MANAGEMENT Plan more strategic and functional through the identification of both long-term goals and near -term actions that will guide day-to-day decision -making and project implementation. In addition to the identification and prioritization of possible mitigation projects, emphasis has been placed on the use of program and policy alternatives to help make Weld County and participating municipalities less vulnerable to the damaging forces of nature while improving the economic, social, and environmental health of the community. The concept of multi -objective planning is emphasized throughout this Plan, identifying ways to link hazard mitigation policies and programs with complimentary community goals that may be related to housing, economic development, community revitalization, recreational opportunities, transportation improvements, environmental quality, land development, and public health and safety. This Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan should be seen as a representation of a coordinated effort to make Weld County and participating jurisdictions more livable, disaster resilient communities. The Plan Implementation and Maintenance procedures, found in Chapter 7, describe the measures Weld County and participating jurisdictions will take to ensure the Plan's continuous long-term implementation. The procedures also include the manner in which the Plan will be regularly monitored, reported upon, evaluated, and updated to remain a current and meaningful planning document. Local capabilities are outlined in this section to highlight strengths and areas of improvement related to personnel, planning capacity, and ongoing risk -reduction efforts. 3.4 The Planning Team A well-rounded community -based planning team contributed heavily to the development of this Plan. Weld County engaged local government officials, public stakeholders, and county residents in local meetings and planning workshops to discuss and complete tasks associated with preparing the Plan. The Weld County HMPC consisted of members of participating local governments and districts, as well as public stakeholders, special interest groups, and county staff. Members of the HMPC participated in the risk assessment, mitigation strategy development, plan review, public outreach, and plan maintenance strategy.

The HMPC reviewed drafts of the 2009 Plan, identified new information that needed to be included in the 2016 Plan update and incorporated it as required by state and federal guidelines. The HMPC was also tasked with collecting all accurate data from plan participants and provided outreach to the public and business stakeholders to ensure that everyone's information was included in this Plan. 3.5 Planning Meetings and Documentation The preparation of the Plan update required a series of meetings and workshops intended to facilitate discussion and initiate data collection efforts with local community officials. More importantly, the meetings and workshops prompted continuous input and feedback from local officials, public stakeholders, staff, and subject matter experts throughout the update process. Below is a summary of the key meetings and workshops conducted throughout the development of the 2016 Weld County Multi -Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan. Sign -in sheets and meeting minutes are provided in Appendix A. HMPC PLANNING KICK-OFF MEETINGS The initial kick-off meetings for the Weld County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan were held on May 19l" & 2111, 2015. These meetings were organized specifically for the County's HMPC. The first meeting was held at the Weld County Office of Emergency Management. The second was held at the Weld County Southwest -Services Building. Official representatives from all jurisdictions participating in the Hazard Mitigation Plan and representatives from stakeholder groups were invited to the kickoff meetings. The intent of the meetings was to introduce the mitigation planning update project to the HMPC and to the community at large. The following agenda items were discussed at both of the kick-off meetings: • Welcome and Introductions • Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview IZg INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI-JURISQICT!®NAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN • Jurisdictional Participation Requirements • Planning Process / Project Schedule • Hazards to Profile • 5-Year Plan Review Exercise • Mitigation Action Exercise and Review of Current Mitigation Goals and Objectives The kick-off meetings provided the project team with an opportunity to explain the DMA 2000 planning requirements, to explain jurisdictional participation expectations, and to present a project timeline to the planning committee. The meeting also initiated preliminary data collection efforts for the Risk Assessment as well as for Mitigation Strategy development. The kickoff meeting began with introductions and a presentation on the mitigation planning process facilitated by the county's contractor for this Plan development project, Michael Baker international (MBI). The meeting agenda included a review of jurisdictional participation requirements as well as the planning process and schedule. Specific data collection needs were thoroughly explained, including the need for accurate GIS data as well as any unique local hazard risk data available for specific areas of concern. During their presentation, the MBI Team led a brief review of the 2009 plan and conducted a 5-Year Plan Review exercise to reach consensus on which hazards would be profiled in the 2016 plan. Participating jurisdictions were encouraged to review the previous plan and provide input via an online Plan Review Survey. At the end of the meeting, participants were given three action items to complete: 1. Participating jurisdictions to submit Participation Letter (if not already done). 2. Participating jurisdictions to review the existing Plan's mitigation strategy and prepare to provide any comments and changes at the next planning team meeting. 3. Participating jurisdictions to review the existing Plan's mitigation actions (projects) specific to that jurisdiction and prepare to provide status reports during the next planning team meeting. HMPC PLANNING MEETING ##2 The second planning team meeting was held on August 26th, 2015 from 3:00— S:OOPM at the Weld County Emergency Operations Center in Greeley. Official representatives from all jurisdictions and districts participating in the Hazard Mitigation Plan and representatives from other organizations and stakeholder groups were invited to participate. The intent of the meeting was to review the results of the HMPC surveys, to increase HMPC familiarity with the Risk Assessment results and how to use the interactive webmap, to define the goals and objectives of the County Mitigation Strategy, and to collect status updates on mitigation actions included in the 2009 Plan from participating communities. The following agenda items were discussed at the second planning meeting: • Welcome and Introductions • Review of Jurisdictional Participation Requirements • Review of 5-Year Plan Review & Risk Factor survey results • Review of on -going public survey results • Presentation of Risk Assessment Results & Webmap • Define the updated Mitigation Strategy's Goals & Objectives I z0- I ^tt�� :--Y�� INTERNATIONAL EMERLENCV MANAGEMENT WELD COUNTY 2016 MU LTI-JURISDICrIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN • Review status updates for 2009 Mitigation Actions • Planning Process / Project Schedule • Jurisdictional meetings/outreach tracking • Bi-county jurisdiction clarification The second planning meeting provided the project team with an opportunity to reiterate the participation requirements and to present the results of the Risk Assessment to members of the HMPC. The HMPC was encouraged to leverage the interactive GIS maps on the project website as they worked to identify priorities and mitigation actions for the 2016 Mitigation Strategy. During their presentation, the MBI Team introduced the jurisdiction -specific Mitigation Action Guides (MAGs) that were developed as a planning tool for the multi -jurisdictional project. Each jurisdiction was assigned a number of MAGs, which are designed to help keep track of how mitigation projects are progressing. At the end of the meeting, participants were given three action items to complete: I. Participating jurisdictions to submit Participation Letter (if not already done). 2. Participating jurisdictions to review the 2009 Plan's mitigation actions/projects and provide progress updates. 3. Participating jurisdictions to begin updating old and drafting new Mitigation Action Guides for 2016 Plan. HMPC PLANNING MEETING #3 The third set of planning team meetings was held on the evenings of October 7" and 8 " at the Weld County EOC and the Fort Lupton Fire Training Center, respectively. Official representatives from all jurisdictions and districts participating in the Hazard Mitigation Plan and representatives from other organizations and stakeholder groups were invited to participate. Organized as a working session, the intent of the meeting was to discuss and finalize plan maintenance and implementation strategies for both the County and its participating jurisdictions, to finalize local Mitigation Action Guides (MAGs), and to prioritize mitigation actions at the community level. The following agenda items were discussed at the third planning meeting: • Welcome and Introductions • Review and Confirmation of Formal Adoptees • Planning Process/Project Schedule • HMPC Survey #3 Results — Discussion of Plan Maintenance and Implementation • Mitigation Action Guide (MAG) Working Session o 2004 and 2009 Action Reporting o 2016 Action Finalization o CRS Review and Discussion o Existing Community Plan Review • Mitigation Action Prioritization Exercise The third round of planning meetings gave participating communities the opportunity to work directly with the project team and local subject matter experts to refine their identified mitigation projects. The workshop setting proved incredibly helpful for vetting ideas, sharing resources, and establishing best 21 Boas iNTERNAT10NAL EA/ERCENMA AGIMENT WELD COUNTY 2016 MUL I-J RISD GfIONA HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN practices for project implementation and maintenance. Members of the HMPC revisited the interactive GIS maps on the project website as they worked to refine their MAGs and identify additional mitigation actions for the 2016 Mitigation Strategy. During the third planning meeting members of the HMPC worked with staff from Weld County OEM and Michael Baker International to prioritize each of their identified mitigation actions. Using the STAPLEE method recommended by FEMA in the State and Local Mitigation Planning How -To Guide, each community weighed the pros and cons of their different mitigation actions based on social, technical, administrative, political, legal, economic, and environmental considerations. The objective was for each jurisdiction to systematically prioritize their mitigation projects in a way that led to an overall Mitigation Strategy that was realistic, cost effective, and attainable. At the end of the meeting, participants were given four action items to complete: 1. Participating jurisdictions to submit Participation Letter (if not already done). 2. Participating jurisdictions to deliver final 2004 and 2009 MAG updates for incorporation into the 2016 Hazard Mitigation Plan 3. Participating jurisdictions to deliver final 2016 MAGs for incorporation into the 2016 Hazard Mitigation Plan 4. Review Draft 2016 Plan online, advertise draft review process to local residents and public, and submit comments on Draft Plan. The Weld County Office of Emergency Management actively pursued participation from all jurisdictions within Weld County in the hazard mitigation planning process. Starting in July 2015, Weld OEM encouraged participation by sending out email reminders. They later followed up by phone call. OEM also offered to meet with jurisdictions, and did so with Hudson, Nunn, Severance, Mead, Fort Lupton, Frederick 22 INTERNATIONAL EMSEAC£NCY M MAGEMI£Nf WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI-1URISO IGTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN 1 and Dacono. In addition, numerous phone conferences and email exchanges were held to assist jurisdictions in completing their MAG updates and new MAGs during this process, including Fort Lupton, Brighton, Firestone, Greeley, Severance, Gilcrest, Erie, Windsor, Garden City, Pierce, Platteville and Keenesburg. Developing ongoing relationships and collaboration on hazard mitigation planning remains a high priority for Weld County. 3.6 Public and Stakeholder Participation An important component of the success of Weld County's mitigation planning process involved ongoing public, stakeholder, and jurisdiction participation. Individual citizen involvement provided the HMPC with a greater understanding of local concerns and ensures a higher degree of mitigation success by developing community "buy -in" from those directly affected by the planning decisions of public officials. A broad range of public and private stakeholders, including agencies, local businesses, nonprofits, and other interested parties were invited to participate in the development of the 2016 Plan. Stakeholder involvement was encouraged through Weld County's invitations to agencies and individuals to actively participate in local planning meetings and to interact with the planning materials and surveys posted on the project website. Below are examples of a few of the planning announcements and public meeting invitations created and distributed by members of the HMPC.

Home Welcome to the project webslte far the 2016 Weld County, Colorado Muttl-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan update. Please check back often for project updates and postings. This wabsite will be discontinued after the project is completed. what is Hazard Mitigation? The term -Hazard Mitigation' describes actions that can help reduce or eliminate long-term risks caused by hazards, or disaster, such as floods, hurricanes, wildfires, landslides, tornadoes, earthquakes, dam failures, or terrorism. As the costs of disasters continuo to rise, governments and ordinary citizens must rind ways to reduce hazard risks to our communities and ourselves. Efforts made to reduce hazard risks are easily made compatible with other community goats: safer communities are more attractive to employers as well as residents. As communities plan for now development and improvements to existing Enrrastructurn, mlHgatlon can and should be an impartant component of the planning effort. While mitigation activltiee can and should be taken before a disaster avant has the chance to occur, after disasters hazard mitigation is essential. Oftentimes after disasters, repairs and reconstruction are Often completed in such a way as to simply restore damaged property to pre - disaster conditions. These efforts may 'get things back to normal', but the replication of pro - disaster conditions often results In a repetitive cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. Hazard mitigation breaks this repetitive cycle by producing less vulnerable conditions through post -disaster repairs and reconstruction. The Implementation of such hazard mitigation actions now by state and local governments means building stronger, safer and smarter communities that will be able to reduce future injuries and future damage. About the Project Weld County created Its previous Mitigation Plan in accordance with the requirements of the Fader -at Stafford Act, the National Flood Insurance Act, and 44 Code of Federal Ragulations (CFR). That Hartheastern Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan was approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on December 2, MR. Usually, these plans must be Opdated and approved by FEMA every live years. Due to the damaging floods In the fall of 2013, Weld County did not have the resources available to update their plan within that rive year window, The County received an extension from FEMA due to these Extraordinary Orcumstances which expires on February 26, 2016. Weld County and its participating jurisdictions, agendas, and organizations are now In the process of updating their Hazard Mitigation Plan and expect to have It approved by that February 26, 20t6 date. For this update cycle, the County has decided to step away from the northeastern regional planning approach and Instead produce a plan specific to the County and Its participants. This will allow the plan and planning process to better focus on the specific needs of Weld County and its ddzens. Figure 3. Project Website Homepage The website included two public surveys designed to gather information about public hazard risk perceptions and visions for community resilience: ' The project website was discontinued upon completion of the Plan update. ►. �► = Michael Baker INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT I. Survey ##1— Public Hazard Risk Perceptions: The purpose of this survey was to engage citizens in order to better understand risk perceptions among members of the Weld County community and to identify the best ways to communicate with public stakeholders moving forward. 2. Survey ##2 — Visions for o Resilient Weld County. The purpose of this survey was to gather preliminary information from community members and stakeholders about the current capacities and resiliency conditions of their community as well as a long-range vision for a resilient Weld County. The survey included an introductory definition of resilience (developed with the help of the HMPC) and gathered input about ways to improve community capacity and capabilities. The surveys were utilized throughout the planning process to engage with and educate local residents. Information and comments from the surveys were shared with members of the HMPC and used to guide the planning process. Links to the surveys were posted on the website and updates were communicated through the Weld County Facebook page. Participating jurisdictions also posted links to the public surveys on their local websites and social media links to gather input from interested stakeholders. At the time of the third and final HMPC team meeting a total of 112 Weld County residents had submitted responses for the "Visions for a Resilient Weld County" survey. Ninety nine residents submitted responses for the "Public Risk Perceptions" survey. The HMPC and project team were excited about the response rate for both surveys, which greatly exceeded previous survey participation for similar planning efforts. The results of the Visions for a Resilient Weld County survey will be used for ongoing planning projects related to hazard risk reduction and community resiliency. This includes the County's proposed "Resiliency Study" which was scoped during the 2016 HMP planning process and has been included in this Plan as a 2016 Mitigation Action.

The HMPC will coordinate to identify an existing public event where an informative booth will be set up to review the Plan with community members and to discuss the hazards identified and the county and jurisdiction's mitigation strategy and actions for the next five years. This community outreach will be focused on the county's rural communities that may not have participated with the project website or social media messaging. r 126 INTEANAT10NAL EME ANCYA Af¢MEMT WE [CfC-,00 NDW.01 M U.I.Tr I ID U R IS D I UF 10 NA-13THA2 ARD MITIGATION LAN Wcld Public Risk Pcrccpsions Q7 What is the most effective way for you to receive information about how to make your home and neighborhood more resistant to hazards (you may select more than one)?

In addition to the project website, the Michael Baker International Team used the data from the results of the risk assessment to create a series of interactive online maps. Available to the public on the internet, the maps served as a tool for analyzing hazards and patterns of risk at various scales within the county. In addition to helping members of the HMPC visualize and assess their risks to various hazards, the online maps were also designed as an outreach tool and were used to communicate risk to the public and to ground -truth quantitative risk assessment results at local public meetings throughout the planning process. The figure below provides a screen shot of the online mapping tool. Available layers related to hazard risks and vulnerability are visible on the left hand side of the screen. Finally, participating members of the Weld County HMPC were encouraged to initiate and sustain their own public outreach program throughout the planning process.

Throughout the planning process, members of the HMPC leveraged any opportunities that they had to inform the public about the hazard mitigation planning project. Not only did their efforts help to inform citizens about the planning process it contributed to the ultimate goal of creating a more disaster resilient Weld County. A few participating communities documented their public interactions in order to keep track of strategies that worked and to facilitate improved outreach efforts during the next plan update.

To satisfy multi -jurisdictional participation requirements, each of the local jurisdictions listed in the participation table below committed to the planning process. Each jurisdiction wishing to join the planning partnership acknowledged their understanding of the following expectations: • Each jurisdiction/partner will support and participate in the meetings of the Steering Committee overseeing the development of the update. Support includes allowing this body to make decisions regarding plan development and scope on behalf of the partnership. • Each jurisdiction/partner will provide support as needed for the public involvement strategy developed by the Steering Committee in the form of mailing lists, possible meeting space, and media outreach such as newsletters, newspapers or direct -mailed brochures. • Each partner will participate in plan update development activities such as: o Steering Committee meetings o Public meetings or open houses o Workshops and planning partner training sessions o Public review and comment periods prior to adoption. • Each partner will be expected to review the risk assessment and identify hazards and vulnerabilities specific to its jurisdiction. Contract resources will provide jurisdiction -specific mapping and technical consultation to aid in this task, but the determination of risk and vulnerability ranking will be up to each partner. • Each partner will be expected to share information about mitigation activity/progress and capital improvement projects in their jurisdictions since the adoption of the 2009 plan. • Each partner will identify at least one mitigation action for each of the hazards identified for their community. Local agencies/individuals responsible for implementing and tracking these mitigation actions will also be identified by participating jurisdictions and included in the plan. • Each partner will be expected to review the mitigation recommendations chosen for the overall county and evaluate whether they will meet the needs of its jurisdiction. Projects within each jurisdiction consistent with the overall plan recommendations will need to be identified, prioritized, and reviewed to identify their benefits and costs. • Each partner will be required to sponsor at least one public meeting to present the draft plan at least 2 weeks prior to adoption. • Each partner will be required to formally adopt the plan. • Each partner agrees to the plan implementation and maintenance protocol. Attendance was tracked at all planning activities and attendance records are included in the Appendix of this plan. All participating communities attended and actively participated in all meetings. Participating jurisdictions acknowledged that their failure to meet these criteria may result in being dropped from the partnership by the County, and thus losing eligibility under the scope of this plan. :-� 130- INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY &"AG[MErrr WELD COUNTY12.0161MUG-TI-JURISEffGT ONAL HA ARP MITIGATION PLAN Table 2. 2009 and 2016 Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Participation JURISDICTION PARTICIPATED IN 2009 NORTHEAST CO REGIONAL HMP PARTICIPATED IN 2016 WELD COUNTY HMP SIGNED PARTICIPATION LETTER 2016 ADOPTION DATE Weld County • • 12/16/2015 Town of Ault a a [INSERT DATE] City of Brighton • • 02/16/2016 City of Dacono • • • [INSERT DATE] Town of Erie • • [INSERT DATE] City of Evans • • • 02/02/2016 Town of Firestone . • • [INSERT DATE] City of Fort Lupton a [INSERT DATE] Town of Frederick • • • 01/27/2016 Town of Garden City ' • [INSERT DATE] Town of Gilcrest a• • (INSERT DATE] City of Greeley • • • 01/05/2016 Town of Hudson • • ' [INSERT DATE] Town of Keenesburg • .

These tools include the State of Colorado Hazard Mitigation Plan, county subdivision regulations and road and bridge standards, the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, and local zoning regulations. These mechanisms were discussed at mitigation planning meetings and the Weld County HMPC reviewed all available technical information and had incorporated them into this Plan update. Moving forward, the local jurisdictions included in the 2016 Weld County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan will continue to integrate the goals and actions of the Plan into their evolving local planning mechanisms, including comprehensive plans, capital improvement plans, and resource and land use regulations. The State of Colorado mitigates natural hazards by way of diverse statutes and programs. Funded by the state and federal government, several agencies and programs within the state implement mitigation actions through assistance to local governments. State statutes that are applicable to hazard mitigation are listed below: • County Fire Planning Authority, Colorado Statute, Title 30, Article 11, Part 1:30-11-124 • Colorado Revised Statute, 24-65-101 & 102 • Colorado Revised Statutes, 25-65-105 & 24-65-104 • County Building Codes — Master Plan, Colorado Statute, Title 30, Article 28, Part 1:30-28-106 • Local Government Land Use Control Enabling Act, Colorado Revised Statute, 29-20-101, et seq • Local Land Use Control and Regulation, Colorado Revised Statute, 29-20-104 • Colorado Wildfire Preparedness Plan and Fund, Colorado Revised Statute 24-30-310(2)(3) • Fire Suppression Program Rules, Colorado Revised Statute, 24-33.5-1205(1) (a) • State Fire Ban Authority, Colorado Revised Statute, 24-30-308 • Colorado Geological Survey (CGS), Colorado Statute, 34-1-1-1 & 103 • CGS Land Use Review Program (Subdivision Law), Colorado Revised Statute, 30-28-101, etseq • Soils & Hazard Analyses of Residential Construction Act, Colorado Revised Statute, 6-6.5-101 • Drought Mitigation Planning, Colorado Revised Statute, 37-60-126.5 • Building Codes — Zoning — Planning, Colorado Revised Statute, 22-32-124(1) • Colorado Floodplain Management Authority, Colorado Revised Statute, 24-65.1-403(1) • Emergency Dam Repair Cash Fund, Colorado Revised Statute, 37-60-122.5 • Flood Response Fund, Colorado Revised Statute, 37-60-123.2 • Office of Smart Growth, Colorado Revised Statute, 24-32-3201 et seq • State Engineer — High Hazard Dams Reports, Colorado Revised Statute, 37-87-123 • State Planning and Interest, Colorado Revised Statute, 24-65.1-203 Colorado Statute includes a number of measures that dictate the state's ability to influence land use decisions and subsequently impact local vulnerability to hazards. In most cases, these statutes allow county level and local governments to establish their own rules and regulations. Weld County's risk and vulnerability reduction efforts are supported by additional planning efforts, including the following: 32 INTERNATIONAL �iii ram` .

" INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY M1�IAGEM[Ni Weld County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance program (NFIP). Since it entered the program, the County has adopted the minimum NFIP requirements and imposed additional requirements into its Charter and County Code and Ordinances. These additional requirements, outlined in the Weld County Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, were adopted for consistency with the rules and procedures of the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual to provide a higher level of floodplain management than required by FEMA. In the future, this plan will serve as a source document and will be incorporated into existing planning mechanisms as they are updated or developed. These planning mechanisms enhance the county's mitigation strategy and are therefore incorporated into several of the mitigation actions identified in this Plan. For example, floodplain ordinances in Weld County serve to guide development away from hazardous areas while local stormwater management plans reduce the effects of erosion due to increased runoff. During the planning process, the planning team worked with local jurisdictions to identify ways in which identified mitigation actions/projects will be incorporated into their existing planning and regulatory mechanisms over time. The results of these conversations and planning activities are described in each Community Profile. 134 - -.� INTERNATIONAL [MIRmomy M AGimx II somi mummunmeiragne kinT 11JEWNBILTRA 4 County Profile Weld County is located in the Northern Front Range of central Colorado.

Two interstate highways run through the County: 1-25 (US 87) runs through the southwestern and northwestern corner and 1-76 from the south central edge northeastward to the Morgan County border. Other major transportation routes include US 85 and US 34, which intersect near Greeley, and State Highway 14, which runs through Ault. Many of Weld County's incorporated cities and towns are located along these highway corridors although the county consists of a number of gravel roads that serve to connect communities to amenities. 35 INTERNATIONAL aylWlkr uauacaM[MI _ {fu nHar.Wd Its in Dr«r n b y {16> a u 11, FM R s � N•,1 I.al, N wdd ceunq Rd 28 a5rr09•64.

Weld County Transportation Routes The Platte and Cache la Poudre Rivers — two significant waterways in the County -- are two of the most important sources of water in the large, semi -arid region. The agricultural portions of western Weld County are fed by a system of irrigation canals and are a stark contrast to the dry landscape to the east. Similarly, a broader mixture of land uses and greater concentrations of the population are located in the western third of the county, while the eastern areas remain largely open, less populated, and more uniform in terms of land use. Weld County is one of the top ten economically producing agricultural counties in the United States. Due to the dry climate, mild winters, and warm summers, the County leads the state in the production of grains, beef cattle, and sugar beets. Seventy five percent of Weld County's 2.5 million acres is devoted to agriculture. Weld County farmers are also the state's leading producers of potatoes, poultry, eggs, milk, �:5t LE 36 QI.�, INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY M,VUGLMEM WELD COUNTY 2016 MULITI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN dry beans, and other dairy products. There are over 3,000 farms in Weld County and the County's agricultural products create over $1 billion of market value each year. Weld County is actively working to preserve its agricultural roots. In fact, the County's existing land use code has a specific "Right to Farm" statement. The County's policies support a high -quality rural character which: "(...J respects the agricultural heritage and traditional agricultural land uses of the County as agricultural lands are converted to other uses (excluding urban development). Rural character in the County includes those uses which provide rural lifestyles, rural -based economies and opportunities to both live and work in rural areas. The natural landscape and vegetation predominate over the built environment." — Weld County Comprehensive Plan The energy industry is another important driver of Weld County's economy. Due to its location above the Wattenberg Field, oil and gas extraction has been occurring for decades in Weld County. Currently, Weld County has more oil and gas wells than any other county in the state. The sheer size of the County's land area presents challenges related to the availability of resources. For example, based on information recorded in the county's Comprehensive Plan, law enforcement activity in Weld County is primarily based on responses to complaints rather than on patrols. Moreover, the distances which must be traveled sometimes delay emergency responses including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Ultimately, rural residents must be more self-sufficient than urban residents by necessity. Moreover, rural residents are exposed to different hazards (and have different vulnerabilities) than urban or suburban residents. It is critical to keep these nuances in mind while developing and implementing a local hazard mitigation program. 4.1 Demographics Weld County is a relatively young county, with a median population age of 34. Between 2000 and 2013 the population of the county grew by 49%. The current population of over a quarter million residents is expected to double to almost half a million by the year 2030. Weld County is the ninth most populated county in Colorado. However, rapid growth in the last few years has established the county as one of the 100-fastest growing counties in the nation, according to the US Census. Planners anticipate that much of the coming growth will occur in southwest Weld County, along 1-25 and along the southern stretch of US 85. Table 3.

Stats America, EMSI, BLS. 4.2 Social Vulnerability Local vulnerability to disasters depends on more than simply the relationship between a place and its exposure to a hazard. Social and economic factors — like race, age, income, renter status, or institutionalized living— directly affect a community's ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from hazards and disasters. The concept of social vulnerability helps explain why communities often experience a hazard differently, even when they experience the same amount of physical impacts. Social vulnerability to disasters refers to "the characteristics and situation of a person or group that influence their capacity to anticipate, cope with, resist, or recover from the impact of a hazard" (Wisner et al. 2004)2 and it is determined by a number of pre-existing social and economic characteristics. Very often, the impacts of hazards fall disproportionately on the most disadvantaged or marginalized people in a community, including the poor, children, the elderly, disabled, and racial/ethnic minorities. During emergencies, for example, self -evacuation can be nearly impossible for disabled or institutionalized individuals. Additionally, the willingness of an individual/family to invest their limited resources into residential mitigation actions is often limited if their home is a rental property or if they have never experienced a disaster in the past. Not only do conditions like these limit the ability of vulnerable groups to get out of harm's way, they also decrease the ability of communities to recover from and thrive in the aftermath of a disaster event. Reducing local social vulnerability is vital to community resilience. The 2016 Plan integrates social vulnerability into its hazard risk analysis in order to more effectively identify hazard risk experienced by the most vulnerable residents and communities within the county. The Weld County social vulnerability assessment is designed to improve local decision making, hazard prioritization, and emergency management activities. By incorporating social vulnerability into the risk assessments of individual hazards, local communities are able to identify more vulnerable areas and tailor their mitigation actions to accommodate all members of their community, including the most sensitive groups. The pre-existing social conditions that contribute to disaster losses can be identified by using social vulnerability indicators. Using methods and indicators identified in the Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) developed by Cutter et al (2003),3 a Weld County social vulnerability analysis was carried out at the census 2 Wisner, B., Blaikie, P., Cannon, T., Davis, I. (2004). At Risk: Natural Hazards, People's Vulnerability and Disasters. London: Routledge. 3 Cutter, S.L., Boruff, B.J., and Shirley, W.L. (2003). Social Vulnerability to Environmental Hazards.

Local socioeconomic and demographic data were used to identify spatial patterns in social vulnerability across the county and have been applied to the hazards in the 2016 Weld County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. The table below outlines the five social vulnerability factors and their associated indicators that were used in the Weld County social vulnerability analysis. Indicators with plus signs (+) are positively related to social vulnerability levels. For example, communities with higher percentages of people 65 years or older have higher levels of social vulnerability to hazards. Indicators with minus signs (-) are negatively related to social vulnerability levels. Communities with higher per -capita income and higher home values have lower levels of social vulnerability to hazards. Table 5.

The results of the social vulnerability IOa t I N T E R N A T 1 0 N A L EMERGENCY MANAGEMEM assessment are displayed on them a p below. On the map, social vulnerability is represented at the census tract level by 5 classes of vulnerability: Low (bottom 20% of the county), Medium -Low, Medium, Medium - High, and High (top 20% of the county). The following social vulnerability map shows relative levels of social vulnerability across the county. It is important to note that although many areas within the county have medium -low to low levels of social vulnerability, it does not mean that there are no socially vulnerable people living in those areas. On its own, the social vulnerability map can inform communities about disparate social conditions across the county. When combined with physical hazard analyses, the map illustrates where human hardships may occur in a disaster situation. These hardships may result in citizens that are less likely to prepare, respond, withstand, or recover from a hazard event due to their elevated levels of social vulnerability. This information is valuable for both mitigation and disaster response activity. During the risk assessment and mitigation strategy development phases of the 2016 planning process, participating jurisdictions reviewed the results of the social vulnerability analysis in conjunction with the multi -hazard risk assessment results. The social vulnerability information helped communities uncover unseen risks and better prioritize their local mitigation actions. Social vulnerability analysis is particularly useful in the context of hazard mitigation planning because it can reveal disparities within a community that make a difference when it comes to the ability of residents to mitigate, prepare, evacuate, mobilize resources, and recover from disasters. Areas on the map that have medium to high social vulnerability represent areas where age, poverty, race/ethnicity, or special needs factors may make it more difficult for people to prepare, respond, and recover from hazard events. Social vulnerability information can also be used to help communities design effective and appropriate local risk communication and hazard mitigation outreach activities. 41 r �Y I N T E R N A T 1 0 N A L EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WELD COUNTY 2016M0 I-}URISDIGTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION--,,P. in 1 Social Vulnerability Social vulnerability is represented as the social, economic, demographic, and housing characteristics that influence a community's ability to respond to, cope with, recover from, and adapt to hazard events.

Weld County's low vacancy rate means that as population growth continues to surge, rents are likely to increase, putting pressure on the labor force and potentially leading to more commuters into the county.

Two in ten of all households in Weld County are defined as "Housing Cost -Burdened Households" earning <$50,000 a year, amounting to 23,066 households." The number of households that are housing cost -burdened has impacts on a community in many ways. For the household, the lower the income level, the higher the pressure to forgo basic needs such as food, health care, services, as well as personal disaster preparedness and hazard mitigation activity.

Weld County Household Compositions COMMUNITY VALUES, HISTORIC AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Historic resources include landmarks buildings, historic structures and sites, commercial and residential districts, historic rural resources, archaeological and cultural sites, and the historic environment in which they exist. Historic resources serve as visual reminders of a community's past, providing a link to its development. Preservation of these important resources makes it possible for them to continue to play an integral, vital role in the community. Currently, Weld County has forty properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places and nine Historic Districts which are primarily located in cities and towns. Depending on the number of historic resources within a community, it can be unrealistic to assume that all of the necessary mitigation activities can be taken to protect these resources. Historic preservation and protection work must be done in a manner that retains the character -defining features of a historic property. Because this work can be costly, it is important to set priorities in terms of which resources and mitigation projects should become the point of focus. Weld County realizes that the preservation and maintenance of historic sites and structures contributes to the cultural heritage of the county and is in the long-term best interest of the community. 5 Source: Colorado State Demography Office; Piton Foundation ZO•, ,..

Critical facilities are essential to a community's long-term disaster resilience as they are important delivery pathways for diverse crisis management services and resources. Members of the Weld County HMPC worked collaboratively to define a critical facility inventory for the 2016 Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan. Critical facilities profiled in this plan include facilities of the following types: • Administration Buildings • Auditoriums • Churches • Community Recreation Centers • Convention Centers • Convalescent Hospital Nursing Homes • Day Care Centers • Distribution Warehouses • Fire Stations • Government Buildings • Group Care Homes • High Schools • Jails • Mega Warehouse Stores • Elderly Assisted Living Facilities • Schools • Utility Buildings • Warehouse Discount Store The map shown in the Figure below presents these community -identified critical facilities included in the risk and vulnerability assessment of this plan.

The protection of critical facilities is essential because these specific facilities can have a significant impact on the scope of damage caused by a natural disaster. Additionally, the disruption of critical facilities during a natural disaster is likely to affect response and recovery activity. 4.5 Future Development A key strategy for reducing future losses in a community is to avoid development in known hazard areas while enforcing the development of safe structures in other areas. The purpose of this strategy is to keep people, businesses, and buildings out of harm's way before a hazard event occurs. The 2016 Weld County Multi -Jurisdictional Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan highlights areas where future development can be expected and areas where mitigation options can be considered in future land use decisions to ensure safe, smart growth in the county. The State Demography Office, a division of the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), monitors population growth trends across the state and between counties. The two tables below provide a picture of future population growth rates and numbers within the state, within the Denver primary metro statistical area (PMSA), and within Weld County. Table 9.

An example of this is the Right to Farm Statement that is included in the county code: "Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties in the country in total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize and accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural areas: open views, spaciousness, wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without neighboring forms, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly be gone forever."— Excerpt from the Weld County Right to Farm Statement An additional 2.5 million people are expected to move to Colorado by 2040 and the majority of them are expected to settle along the Front Range. Planners anticipate that much of the coming growth will occur in southwest Weld County, along 1-25 and along the southern stretch of US 85. As Weld County's small towns grow into cities, some local leaders anticipate that access to county services will need to be improved. Water availability, infrastructure, and the quality of life that attracts people to northern Colorado will be more difficult to maintain at the same time they become more important (and scarce). �a=1� 153 .- - !

This section consists of the following subsections: • INTRODUCTION AND UPDATE SUMMARY • DROUGHT • EARTHQUAKE • EXTREME TEMPERATURES • FLOOD (Including Dam & Levee Failure) • HAZMAT • LAND SUBSIDENCE • PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARDS • PRAIRIE FIRE • SEVERE STORMS (Including Hail, Lightning, & Winter Storms) • STRAIGHT LINE WINDS & TORNADOES 5.1 Introduction and Update Summary A key step in preventing future disaster losses in Weld County is developing a comprehensive understanding of the hazards that pose risks to local communities. The following terms facilitate comparisons between communities and can be found throughout the Plan. Table 12. Key Risk Assessment Terminology Event or physical conditions that have the potential to cause fatalities, injuries, Hazard: property damage, infrastructure damage, agricultural loss, damage to the environment, interruption of business, other types of harm or loss Product of a hazard's likelihood of occurrence and its consequences to society; the Risk: estimates impact that a hazard would have on people, services, facilities, and structures in a community Vulnerability: Degree of susceptibility to physical injury, harm, damage, or economic loss; depends , on an asset's construction, contents, and economic value of its functions Source: Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2001 The Local Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) summary is a method for evaluating risk as defined by probability and frequency of occurrence of a hazard event, exposure of people and property to the hazard, and consequences of that exposure. Different methodologies exist for assessing the risk of hazard events, ranging from qualitative to quantitative approaches. Weld County and its communities are vulnerable to a wide range of natural and human -caused hazards that threaten life and property. The hazards identified by the HMPt_ for inclusion in the Plan are those determined to be of actual potential threat to Weld County and its municipalities and are consistent with SEA ��: 154 "Mm- �r INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI-JURI5QIC710NA HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN the hazards identified by the State of Colorado and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for this part of the State and this region of the country.

Summary of Disaster Declaration Events, Weld County (Source: FEMA Region VIII) Hazards were ranked in order to provide structure and prioritize the mitigation goals and actions discussed in the Plan. Ranking was both quantitative and qualitative. First, the quantitative analysis considered all the historical and geospatial hazard -specific data available. Then, a qualitative method, the Risk Factor (RF) approach, was used to provide additional insights on the specific risks associated with each hazard. This process also served as a valuable cross-check and validation of the quantitative analysis performed. The RF approach combines historical experiences, local knowledge, and consensus opinions to produce numerical values that allow identified hazards to be ranked against one another. During the planning process, the Weld County HMPC compared the results of the hazard profile against their local knowledge to generate a set of ranking criteria. These criteria were used to evaluate hazards and identify those posing the highest risk. RF values are obtained by assigning varying degrees of risk to five categories for each hazard: probability, impact spatial extent, warning time, and duration. Each degree of risk is assigned a value ranging from 1 to 4 and a weighing factor for each category was agreed upon by the HMPC (documented in the following Table). Based upon any unique concerns for the planning area, the HMPC may also adjust the RF weighting scheme. To calculate the RF value for a given hazard, the assigned risk value for each category is multiplied by the weighting factor. The sum of all five categories equals the final RF value, as demonstrated in the following example equation: RF Value = [(Probability x 30) + (Impact x .30) + (Spatial Extent x .20) + (Warning Time x .10) + (Duration x .10)j- I 59 .- - a� INTERNATIONAL.

Both hazards have a RF value over 3. This is primarily due to the high probability of the hazards occurring and the wide spatial extent of their potential damages and impacts. "HAZMAT," "Flood", "Prairie Fire/Wildfire," and "Extreme Temperatures" also ranked within the "Nigh Risk" RF category. "Drought" and "Public Health Hazards" round out the list of moderate to high ratings, with scores between 2.2 and 2.4. The Risk Factor exercise conducted by the HMPC determined that "Earthquake" and "Land Subsidence" are relatively low -risk hazards for communities and emergency managers in Weld County. The conclusions drawn from the qualitative assessment carried out by the Weld County HMPC were organized into three categories (shown in the following table) and provided a summary of hazard risk for Weld County based on High, Moderate or Low risk designations. This process helped frame ongoing planning discussions around local and regional hazard risks and assisted with the prioritization of mitigation actions. 162 INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT III&WELCCOUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Table 18.

Data availability also tends to change as funding shifts and technological improvements emerge. For this reason, it is important to incorporate best available data and analysis strategies when formulating a comprehensive mitigation plan. The table on the following page summarizes the vulnerability and loss estimation methodologies used in the 2009 Northeast Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan and presents the updated methodologies used for the 2016 Weld County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan.

It is caused by a deficiency of precipitation and can be aggravated by other factors such as high temperatures, high winds, and low relative humidity. Droughts can be grouped as meteorological, hydrologic, agricultural, and socioeconomic. Representative definitions commonly used to describe the various types of drought are summarized below. • Meteorological drought is defined solely on the degrees of dryness. It is expressed as a departure of actual precipitation from an expected average or normal amount based on monthly, seasonal, or annual time scales. • Hydrologic drought is related to the effects of precipitation shortfalls on stream flows and reservoir, lake, and groundwater levels. • Agricultural drought is defined principally in terms of soil moisture deficiencies relative to water demands of plant life, usually crops. • Socioeconomic drought associates the supply and demand of economic goods or services with elements of meteorological, hydrologic, and agricultural drought. Socioeconomic drought occurs when the demand for water exceeds the supply as a result of a weather related supply shortfall. The incidence of this type of drought can increase because of a change in the amount of rainfall, a change in societal demands for water (or vulnerability to water shortages), or both. The Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) was developed by Wayne Palmer in the 1960s and uses temperature and rainfall information in a formula to determine dryness. Over time it has become the semi-official drought index for risk assessment and hazard analysis. The Palmer Index is most effective in determining long term drought —a matter of several months —and is not used for short-term forecasts (a matter of weeks). It uses a 0 as normal conditions, and drought is shown in terms of negative numbers; for example, -2 is moderate drought, -3 is severe drought, and -4 is extreme drought. The following table provides an overview of the Palmer Index compared to other classifications. I72 INTERNATIONAL EMIRUP4cYA A"MfN WELD GOON) 201 MU I -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGA ION PLAN Table 21.

Because of natural variations in regional climate and precipitation, it is rare for the entire state to be deficient in moisture at the same time. Single season droughts that cover portions of the state, however, are fairly common. Drought impacts can cover large areas and may come in many forms. The most significant drought impacts in Colorado are related to water -intensive activities including agriculture, municipal use, wildfire protections, recreation, wildlife preservation, commerce, and tourism. Drought conditions can lead to the compaction of soil, increasing erosion potential and decreasing water quality. The impacts associated with drought magnify as the duration of the event increases, as supplemental supplies in reservoirs are depleted and water levels in groundwater aquifers decline. *M I 73 INTERNATIONAL l WERM CYIWK11Gt Mf KT WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN The State of Colorado has experienced severe, widespread drought several times since the late 1800s. The 2013 State of Colorado Drought Mitigation and Response Plan included a comprehensive description of the major droughts that have occurred in Colorado, including the Dust Bowl of 1930s, the 1950s drought of the Great Plains, and the Colorado drought of 2002. The table below summarizes the duration of historical dry and wet periods in Colorado. Table 22. Historical Dry and Wet Periods in Colorado Date Dry Wet Duration (years) 1893-1905 X 12 1905-1931 X 26 1931-1941 X 10 1941-1951 x 10 1951-1957 X 6 1957-1959 X 2 1963-1965 X 2 1965-1975 X 10 1975-1978 X 3 1978-1999 X 20 2000-2006 X 6 2007-2010 X 3 2010-2013 X 3 Source: 2013 Colorado Drought Mitigation and Response Plan The previous table highlights seven multi -year droughts in Colorado since 1893. The most dramatic drought event occurred in the late 1930s and 1950s when a number of states in the region were affected by a several -year drought. The Colorado drought of 2002 was the single most intensive year of drought in Colorado's history.' Statewide snowpack was at or near all-time lows, and the year is considered the driest single year recorded in Colorado history. What made the 2002 drought event so unusual was that all of the State was dry at the same time. Regional soil moisture was depleted and reservoirs dropped to extremely low levels. The dramatic drought conditions prompted widespread water restrictions that were heavily enforced and regulated. These restrictions included limits to watering lawns, washing cars, or the use of water for any other non -essential uses. Some municipalities offered incentives for property owners to remove their lawns and adopt xeriscaped landscape designs. Ultimately, it was the wet period of the late 1990s and the increased reservoir storage during that time that helped Colorado to survive the drought of 2002. More recently, severe drought conditions have impacted the State of Colorado. Based on the U.S. Drought Monitor, approximately 50% of Colorado was already experiencing drought conditions by the start of 2012. Minimal accumulations of snow worsened conditions further, as below average snowfall and above average temperatures occurred in February and March. In April and May of 2012, warm temperatures 6 Pielke and Doesken, 2003. The Drought of 2002 in Colorado. 174 a. INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WELD CQUNTY 2016 MULTI-JURISDiRIQNAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN caused early runoff as the thin snowpack melted rapidly. The entire State of Colorado was under drought conditions by the end of May 2012 and stream flows measured only slightly better compared to the extreme drought years of 1934, 1954, 1977 and 2002. Local agricultural production was heavily impacted by the 2011-2013 drought. Because soil moisture was low and temperatures high on the plains during the spring planting season, many crops struggled to take root and failed to survive the summer. Agricultural drought impacts were exacerbated by limited water availability for summer irrigation diversions due to less snowpack and runoff. In the eastern plains of Colorado, June temperatures were consistently over 100°F. As hay production decreased to 10% - 50% of average supply, prices increased dramatically. For example, corn prices increased 43% over two years as neighboring corn -producing regions in other states also struggled with drought. By early June 2013, many areas of the Eastern Plains normally covered by crops or cattle were barren. Many ranchers sold their herds as grasses had gone dormant and hay was expensive and in short supply. Additional economic impacts seen during the 2011-2013 drought period included disruptions to the tourism industry. Colorado experienced decreased rafting numbers due to low stream flows and wildfire conditions that made some river reaches inaccessible. Colorado's ski industry, another important economic driver for the state, experienced an 11.9% decrease in visits for the 2011-2012 season as compared to the five-year average. Many ski resorts closed early in 2012 because of high temperatures and minimal March snowfall. In addition to having a devastating economic impact on Colorado agriculture and tourism, the 2011-2013 drought period contributed to elevated wildfire risk across the state. Two of the State's most destructive wildfires occurred during the 2012 drought period: the High Park Fire and the Waldo Canyon Fire. Dry conditions on the Eastern Plains contributed to an extended grass fire season that threatened homes and property. During drought conditions Secretarial Disaster Declarations are used to make low interest loans and other emergency assistance available to those who have been affected (largely farmers and ranchers). Under the process laid out by the Farm Services Agency (FSA), a USDA Disaster Declaration can be made if any portion of a County has experienced eight consecutive weeks of severe drought according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.' The following Table lists the disaster declarations that have affected Weld County since 2003.

One of the most significant disaster periods occurred in early July 2012, in which 62 of the State's 64 counties were included in a Secretarial disaster designation due to the 2011-2013 drought. Farmers in designated counties were able to apply for Farm Service Agency emergency loans for the next eight months. Because drought is usually considered a regional hazard, all jurisdictions are assumed to have the same risk level within Weld County. Drought risk is based on a combination of the frequency, severity, and spatial extent (the physical nature of drought) and the degree to which a population or activity is vulnerable to the effects of drought. The degree of Weld County's vulnerability to drought depends on the environmental and social characteristics of the region and is measured by its ability to anticipate, cope with, resist, and recover from drought. The 2013 State of Colorado Drought Mitigation and Response Plan includes information about total drought impacts for all Colorado counties from 1935 (the earliest reported drought impact) to May 8, 2013 for the following impact categories: Agriculture: Drought impacts associated with agriculture, farming, aquaculture, horticulture, forestry or ranching. Examples of drought -induced agricultural impacts include: damage to crop quality; income loss 4 �_ . p Yn, 76 INTERNATI0NAL WERCENCY mAmACEMENY for farmers due to reduced crop yields; reduced productivity of cropland; insect infestation; plant disease; increased irrigation costs; cost of new or supplemental water resource development (wells, dams, pipelines) for agriculture; reduced productivity of rangeland; forced reduction of foundation stock; closure/limitation of public lands to grazing; high cost or unavailability of water for livestock, Christmas tree farms, forestry, raising domesticated horses, bees, fish, shellfish, or horticulture. Business and Industry: Drought impacts affecting non -agriculture and non -tourism businesses, such as lawn care businesses, sales of recreational vehicles or other recreational gear, and plant nurseries. Examples of drought -induced business impacts could include: reduction or loss of employees, change in sales or volume of business, variation in number of calls for service, early closure or late opening for the season, bankruptcy, permanent store closure, economic impacts. Energy: Drought impacts associated with power production, electricity rates, energy revenue, and purchase of alternate sources of energy. Examples include hydropower and non -hydropower production when affected by drought, electricity rates, revenue shortfalls and/or windfall profits, purchase of electricity when hydropower generation is down. Fire: Drought impacts contributing to forest, range, rural, or urban fires, fire danger, and burning restrictions. Examples of fire impacts include: Enactment/easing of burning restrictions, fireworks ban, increased fire risk, occurrence of fire (number of acres burned, number of wildfires compared to average, people displaced, etc.), increase in firefighting personnel, state of emergency during periods of high fire danger, closure of roads land due to fire occurrence or risk. Plants and Wildlife: Drought impacts associated with unmanaged plants and wildlife, fisheries, forests, and other fauna. Examples of drought -induced impacts on plants and wildlife include: loss of biodiversity of plants or wildlife; loss of trees from rural or urban landscapes, shelterbelts, or wooded conservation areas; reduction and degradation of fish and wildlife habitat; lack of feed and drinking water; greater mortality due to increased contact with agricultural producers, as animals seek food from farms and producers are less tolerant of the intrusion; disease; increased vulnerability to predation (from species concentrated near water); migration and concentration (loss of wildlife in some areas and too many wildlife in other areas); increased stress to endangered species; salinity levels affecting wildlife, wildlife encroaching into urban areas, loss of wetlands. Relief, Response, and Restrictions: Drought effects associated with disaster declarations, aid programs, requests for disaster declaration or aid, water restrictions, fire restrictions. Impacts include: Disaster declarations, aid programs, USDA Secretarial disaster declarations, Small Business Association disaster declarations, government relief and response programs, state -level declarations, county -level declarations, a declared "state of emergency," requests for declarations or aid, non-profit organization - based relief, water restrictions, fire restrictions, declaration of drought watches or warnings. Society and Public Health: Drought effects associated with public and human health. Examples of drought -induced social impacts include: health -related problems related to reduced water quantity and/or quality, such as increased concentration of contaminants; loss of human life (e.g., from heat stress); increased respiratory ailments; increased disease caused by wildlife concentrations; population migration (rural to urban areas, migrants into the United States); loss of aesthetic values; change in daily activities (non -recreational, like putting a bucket in the shower to catch water), elevated stress levels, meetings to discuss drought, communities creating drought plans, lawmakers altering penalties for �� .- - INTERNATIONAL EM#�LEMC�'MlWAGEM#N[ WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTP ORISDICfIONAL HA ARD MITIGATION PLAN violation of water restrictions, demand for higher water rates, cultural/historical discoveries from low water levels, cancellation of fundraising events, cancellation/alteration of festivals or holiday traditions, stockpiling water, public service announcements and drought information websites, protests. Tourism and Recreation: Drought effects associated with recreational activities and tourism. Examples of drought -induced tourism and recreation impacts include: water access or navigation problems for recreation; bans on recreational activities; reduced license, permit, or ticket sales (e.g. hunting, fishing, ski lifts, etc.); losses related to curtailed activities (e.g. bird watching, hunting and fishing, boating, etc.); reduced park visitation; delayed opening far ski resorts; increase in artificial snow generation; cancellation or postponement of sporting events, Water Supply and Quality: Drought effects associated with water supply and water quality. Examples of drought -induced water supply and quality impacts include: Dry wells, water restrictions, changes in water rates, easing of water restrictions, increase in requests for new well permits, changes in water use due to water restrictions, greater water demand, decrease in water allocation or allotments, installation or alteration of water pumps or water intakes, changes to allowable water contaminants, waterline damage or repairs due to drought stress, drinking water turbidity, change in water color or odor, declaration of drought watches or warnings, mitigation activities. Based on data collected by the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC), the state-wide impact assessment, Weld County has recorded major impacts from drought since 1935.8 The table below summarizes the drought impacts reported in Weld County alone since 2005.

Eighteen point six percent of drought impacts reported in the county were related to Relief, Response, and Restrictions. Impacts related to Water Supply and Quality, Society and Public Health, and Plants and Wildlife, each fall at around 7.2% - 13.1% of the total reported drought impacts in the county. Fire related impacts make up 7.5% of drought impacts reported in Weld County. Tourism and Recreation, and Business and Industry impacts account for a total of 2.5%-5.4% of all reported drought impacts. Energy related impacts made up the lowest percentage of reported impacts in the last decade at 1.2% The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Paleoclimatology Program studies drought by analyzing records from tree rings, lake and dune sediments, archaeological remains, historical documents, and other environmental indicators to obtain a broader picture of the frequency of droughts in the United States. According to their research, "paleoclimatic data suggest that droughts as severe as the 1950's drought have occurred in central North America several times a century over the past 300-400 years, and thus we should expect (and plan for) similar droughts in the future. The paleoclimatic record also indicates that droughts of a much greater duration than any in the 20th century have occurred in parts of North America as recently as 500 years ago." Based on this research, the 1950's drought situation could be expected approximately once every 50 years or a 20% chance every ten years. An extreme drought, worse than the 1930's "Dust Bowl," has an approximate probability of occurring once every 500 years or a 2% chance of occurring each decade.' A 500-year drought with a magnitude similar to that of the 1930's that destroys the agricultural economy and leads to wildfires is an example of a high magnitude event. 5.2.1.3 Inventory Exposed Drought typically does not have a direct impact on critical facilities or structures. Drought conditions evolve slowly overtime and communities typically have ample time to prepare for the effects. Should a drought affect the water available for public water systems or individual wells, the availability of clean drinking water could be compromised. This situation would require emergency actions and could possibly overwhelm the local government and financial resources. Impacts from drought can include the following: • Economic losses to agricultural producers (crops and livestock) • Physical and mental health issues • Water supply interruption for business and industry • Water quality problems • Reduced soil and vegetation moisture • Vegetation mortality, insect infestations 9 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2003 79 INTERNATIONAL R' IMIRM"CT W&WAM[MT Impacts to fish and wildlife populations • Increase in wildland fires and associated losses 5.2.1.4 Potentiol tosses Possible losses/impacts to critical facilities include the loss of critical function due to low water supplies. Severe droughts can negatively affect drinking water supplies. Should a public water system be affected, the losses could total into the millions of dollars if outside water is shipped in. Private springs/wells could also dry up. Possible losses to infrastructure include the loss of potable water. Although drought events rarely pose immediate risks to public health, they can impact local public health in numerous ways. Examples of drought -induced public health impacts include: increased respiratory ailments due to increased particulate matter in the air; sickness due to decreased availability of clean water; increased disease caused by wildlife concentrations; population migrations (rural to urban areas); loss of human life (e.g. from heat stress, suicides); and impacts on behavioral health (due to unemployment in the agricultural sector, stress on the tourism and other businesses related to the natural environment and/or water). The impacts of drought on local vegetation and wildlife can include death from dehydration and spread of invasive species or disease because of stressed conditions. in general, environmental impacts from drought are more likely at the interface of the human and natural world. The loss of crops or livestock due to drought can have far-reaching economic effects on communities, wind and water erosion can alter the visual landscape, and dust can damage property. Water -based recreational resources are also heavily affected by drought conditions. Indirect impacts from drought arise from wildfire, which may have additional effects on the landscape and sensitive resources such as historic or archeological sites. Due to the nature of drought, all jurisdictions within Weld County are expected to experience similar physical impacts from drought conditions. However, local communities with large agricultural, livestock, and tourism -based economies are expected to bear the brunt of drought effects in the county. 5.2.1.5 Probobility of Future Occurrences Due to the nature of drought, it is an extremely difficult hazard to predict. However, identifying various indicators of drought, and tracking these indicators, provides us with a crucial means of monitoring drought. Additionally, understanding the historical frequency, duration, and spatial extent of drought assists in determining the likelihood and potential severity of future droughts. The characteristics of past droughts provide benchmarks for projecting similar conditions into the future. The probability of Weld County and its municipalities experiencing a drought event can be difficult to quantify; However, based on historical record of 5 drought -related USDA Secretarial Disasters affecting Weld County between 2005 and 2015, it can reasonably be assumed that this type of event has occurred once every 2 years from 2005 through 2015. Historic frequency suggests that there is a 50% chance of this type of event occurring each year. The Colorado Climate Report, published in 2015 by the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB), include climate models that project Colorado will warm by 2.5"F by 2025 and 4°F by 2050, relative to the 1950-99 baseline. If these projections are accurate, changes in the quantity and quality of water are likely to occur due to warning, even in the absence of precipitation changes. Ai $O I N 7 E R N A I 1 0 N A L [M[RaNCYM ArEMEWT 5.2.1.6 Land Use and Development Society's vulnerability to drought is affected largely by population growth, urbanization, demographic characteristics, technology, water use trends, government policy, social behavior, and environmental awareness. These factors are continually changing, and society's vulnerability to drought may rise or fall in response to these changes. For example, increasing and shifting populations puts increasing pressure on water and other natural resources —more people need more water. Future development greatly impacts drought hazards by stressing both surface and ground water resources. Agricultural and industrial water users consume large amounts of water. Expansion of water - intensive enterprises is limited in a time when water resources are strained. In rapidly growing communities, new water and sewer systems or significant well and septic sites could use up more of the water available, particularly during periods of drought. Public water systems are monitored, but individual wells and septic systems are not as strictly regulated. Therefore, future development could have a profound impact on the vulnerability of Weld County communities to drought. Related to both current land use and future development trends, the use of turf grass affects the available water supplies. Maintaining lush, green lawns in the semi -arid climate of the Front Range requires large amounts of water. Urban lawn watering is the single largest water demand on most municipal supplies. Outdoor water use accounts for about 55 percent of the residential water use in the Front Range urban area, most of which is used on turf. 10 Residential and commercial landscaping can greatly impact future drought events and future water use regulations may be able to mitigate this trend. As Weld County continues to grow, it will consider practical guidelines for determining the impacts of drought such as measuring the economic value of water in alternative uses and objective methods for quantifying non -market impacts of drought on those uses. Additionally, Weld County will continue to follow guidance found within the State of Colorado's Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan as well as the Colorado Drought Mitigation and Response Plan. io httr)://www.ext.colostate.edu/nubs/consumer/09952.html 81 - o�...yF INTERNATIONAL �J EMMANCY MAFMGf MENT WELD COUNTY 2016 MU KID ORISDIGTION A HAZARD MITIGATION rPLAN 5.2.2 Earthquake SPATIAL WARNING RF NATURAL HAZARD PROBABILITY IMPACT DURATION EXTENT TIME RATING Earthquake 0.400 0.500 0.383 0.283 0.125 1.692 LOW RISK (1.9 or lower) 5.2.2.1 Hazard ldentificotion An earthquake is the motion or trembling of the ground produced by sudden displacement of rock usually within the upper 10 — 20 miles of the Earth's crust. Earthquakes can affect hundreds of thousands of square miles, cause damage to property measured in the tens of billions of dollars, result in loss of life and injury to hundreds of thousands of people, and disrupt the social and economic functioning of the affected area. Most property damage and earthquake -related deaths are caused by the failure and collapse of structures due to ground shaking which is dependent upon amplitude and duration of the earthquake (FEMA, 1997). Earthquake Mechanics Regardless of the source of the earthquake, the associated energy travels in waves radiating outward from the point of release. When these waves travel along the surface, the ground shakes and rolls, fractures form, and water waves may be generated. Earthquakes generally last a matter of seconds but the waves may travel for long distances and cause damage well after the initial shaking at the point of origin has subsided. Breaks in the crust associated with seismic activity are known as "faults" and are classified as either active or inactive. Faults may be expressed on the surface by sharp cliffs or scarps or may be buried below surface deposits. "Foreshocks," minor releases of pressure or slippage, may occur months or minutes before the actual onset of the earthquake. "Aftershocks," which range from minor to major, may occur for months after the main earthquake. In some cases, strong aftershocks may cause significant additional damage, especially if the initial earthquake impacted emergency management and response functions or weakened structures. Factors Contributing to Damage The damage associated with each earthquake is subject to four primary variables: The nature of the seismic activity • The composition of the underlying geology and soils • The level and quality of development of the area struck by the earthquake • The time of day Seismic Activity: The properties of earthquakes vary greatly from event to event. Some seismic activity is localized (a small point of energy release), while other activity is widespread (e.g., a major fault shifting or slipping all at once). Earthquakes can be very brief (only a few seconds) or last for a minute or more. I 82 s - ov +.,X� 1NTERNATI0NAL (MEitGEN[v 4fWIGF.MfNI The depth of release and type of seismic waves generated also play roles in the nature and location of damage; shallow quakes will hit the area close to the epicenter harder, but tend to be felt across a smaller region than deep earthquakes. Geology and Soils: The surface geology and soils of an area influence the propagation (conduction) of seismic waves and how strongly the energy is felt. Generally, stable areas (e.g., solid bedrock) experience less destructive shaking than unstable areas (e.g., fill soils). The siting of a community or even individual buildings plays a strong role in the nature and extent of damage from an event. Development: An earthquake in a densely populated area which results in many deaths and considerable damage may have the same magnitude as a shock in a remote area that has no direct impacts. Large magnitude earthquakes that occur beneath the oceans may not even be felt by humans. Time of Day: The time of day of an event controls the distribution of the population of an affected area. On work days, the majority of the community will transition between work or school, home, and the commute between the two. The relative seismic vulnerability of each location can strongly influence the loss of life and injury resulting from an event. Types of Damage Often, the most dramatic evidence of an earthquake results from the vertical and/or horizontal displacement of the ground along a fault line. This displacement can sever transportation, energy, utility, and communications infrastructure potentially impacting numerous systems and persons. These ground displacements can also result in severe and complete damages to structures situated on top of the ground fault. However, most damage from earthquake events is the result of shaking. Shaking also produces a number of phenomena that can generate additional damage • Additional ground displacement • Landslides and avalanches • Liquefaction and subsidence • Seismic Seiches Shaking: During minor earthquake events, objects often fall from shelves and dishes rattle. In major events, large structures may be torn apart by the forces of the seismic waves. Structural damage is generally limited to older structures that are poorly maintained, poorly constructed, or improperly (or not) designed for seismic events. Un-reinforced masonry buildings and wood frame homes not anchored to their foundations are typical victims of earthquake damage. Loose or poorly secured objects also pose a significant hazard when they are loosened or dropped by shaking. These "non-structural failing hazard" objects include bookcases, heavy wall hangings, and building facades. Home water heaters pose a special risk due to their tendency to start fires when they topple over and rupture gas lines. Crumbling chimneys may also be responsible for injuries and property damage. Dam and bridge failures are significant risks during stronger earthquake events, and due to the consequences of such failures, may result in considerable property damage and loss of life. In areas of severe seismic shaking hazard, shaking Intensity levels of VII or higher (see Table 25) can be experienced even on solid bedrock. In these areas, older buildings especially are at significant risk. �? . 83 plllltal�-_ I N T E R N A T 1 0 N A L CMERG[ NLY M ANAGCMENf Ground Displacement: Ground displacement can also occur due to shaking, resulting in similar damages as mentioned previously. Landslides and Avalanches: Even small earthquake events can cause landslides. Rock falls are common as unstable material on steep slopes is shaken loose, but significant landslides or even debris flows can be generated if conditions are ripe. Roads may be blocked by landslide activity, hampering response and recovery operations. Avalanches are possible when the snowpack is sufficient. Liquefaction and Subsidence: Soils may liquefy and/or subside when impacted by the seismic waves. Fill and previously saturated soils are especially at risk. The failure of the soils has the potential to cause widespread structural damage. The oscillation and failure of the soils may result in increased water flow and/or failure of wells as the subsurface flows are disrupted and sometimes permanently altered. Increased flows may be dramatic, resulting in geyser -like waterspouts and/orflash floods. Similarly, septic systems may be damaged creating both inconvenience and health concerns. Seiches: Seismic waves may rock an enclosed body of water (e.g., lake or reservoir), creating an oscillating wave referred to as a "seiche." Although not a common cause of damage in past Colorado earthquakes, there is a potential for large, forceful waves similar to a tsunami ("tidal waves") to be generated on the large reservoirs within and neighboring Weld County. Such a wave would be a hazard to shoreline development and pose a significant risk on dam -created reservoirs. A seiche could either overtop or damage a dam leading to downstream flash flooding. Environmental impacts of earthquakes can be numerous, widespread, and devastating, particularly if indirect impacts are considered. Some examples of impacts are listed below: • Induced flooding and landslides • Poor water quality • Damage to vegetation • Breakage in sewage or toxic material containments HAZARD PROFILE The impact an earthquake event has on an area is typically measured in terms of earthquake intensity. Intensity is most commonly measured using the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale based on direct and indirect measurements of seismic effects. Another way to express an earthquake's severity is to compare its acceleration to the normal acceleration due to gravity. Peak ground acceleration (PGA) measures the strength of ground movements in this manner. PGA represents the rate in change of motion of the earth's surface during an earthquake as a percent of the established rate of acceleration due to gravity. PGA can be partly determined by what soils and bedrock characteristics exist in the region. Unlike the Richter scale, PGA is not a measure of the total energy released by an earthquake, but rather of how hard the earth shakes at a given geographic area (the intensity). PGA is measured by using instruments including accelerographs and correlates well with the Mercalli scale. When the peak ground acceleration nears 0.04 — 0.092g, an earthquake can be felt by people walking outside. As PGA nears 0.19 — 0.34g the intensity is considered to be very strong. At this level, plaster can break off and fall away from structures and cracks in walls often occur. PGA magnitudes of 1.24g are 84 I N T E R N A T 1 0 N A L EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WELD COUNTY 2016 !MUL I-JURISDIC•TIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN considered to be very disastrous. This magnitude of ground acceleration represents an earthquake of roughly 6.9 to 8.1 on the Richter Scale. A detailed description of the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale is shown in the following table. Table 25.

INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY M AGEMEW WELD COUNTY 2016 MUL*TI-3URISDICTIONA HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Studies indicate that there are about 100 potentially active fault lines in Colorado. Over 500 earthquake tremors of magnitude 2.5 or higher have been recorded across the state since 1870. It is likely that more earthquakes of similar magnitude occurred during that time, but were not recorded due to low population densities and limited coverage of sensors across most of the state. For comparison, over 20,500 similarly sized events have been recorded in the State of California since 1870. Relative to other western states, Colorado's earthquake risk is higher than Kansas or Oklahoma, lower than Utah, and much lower than Nevada and California (Colorado OEM, 2003). Despite Colorado's lower earthquake risk, based on geologic observations and characteristics of faults located in the region, seismologists predict that Colorado will indeed experience a magnitude 6.5 earthquake at some point in the future. Earthquakes are extremely difficult to predict and their occurrence rate is determined in one of two ways. If geologists can find evidence of distinct, datable earthquakes in the past, the number of these ruptures is used to define an occurrence rate. If evidence of ruptures is not available, geologists estimate fault slip rates from accumulated scarp heights and estimated date for the oldest movement on the scarp. Because a certain magnitude earthquake is likely to produce a displacement (slip) of a certain size, we can estimate the rate of occurrence of earthquakes of that magnitude. Recurrence rates are different for different assumed magnitudes thought to be "characteristic" of that fault type. Generally, a smaller magnitude quake will produce a faster recurrence rate, and for moderate levels of ground motion, a higher hazard risk. Future earthquakes are assumed to be likely to occur where earthquakes have produced faults in the geologically recent past. Quaternary faults are faults that have slipped in the last 1.8 million years and it is widely accepted that they are the most likely source of future large earthquakes. For this reason, quaternary faults are used to make fault sources for future earthquake models. 5.2.2.2 Previous Occurrences Earthquakes are relatively infrequent in Colorado and records of historical earthquakes in and around Weld County are limited. The following Table provides a list of Colorado's larger earthquakes recorded since 1870. Table 26.

The 5.3 magnitude earthquake caused more than a million dollars of damage in Denver and the northern suburbs. The August 1967 earthquake was followed by an earthquake of magnitude 5.2 three months later in November 1967. Although these two earthquake events cannot be classified as "major earthquakes" they are significant because of their location along the Front Range Urban Corridor, an area where nearly 75 percent of Colorado residents and many critical facilities are located. Historically, earthquake risk in Colorado has been rated lower than most subject experts consider justified. It is critically important that local emergency managers in and around Weld County become fully aware of the size and consequences of an earthquake that could occur. 5.2.2.3 Inventory Exposed The most appropriate risk assessment methodology for seismic hazards involves scenario modeling using FEMA's Hazus loss estimation software. Hazus is a very useful planning tool because it provides an acceptable means of forecasting earthquake damage, loss of function of infrastructure, and casualties, among many other factors. There are three levels of Hazus analysis, from Level 1, which uses the default FEMA-derived datasets and damage functions, to Level 3, which uses independently compiled and accurately verified structure and infrastructure inventories and damage functions. Utilizing Hazus 2.2, FEMA's loss estimation and hazard modeling software, a detailed earthquake analyses was conducted for infrastructure within Weld County. The risk assessment leveraged locally managed inventory, hazard, and terrain data, where available. Hazus is a regional earthquake loss estimation model I87 INTERNATIONAL FMFRG[NCYM AGFMINT developed by FEMA and the National Institute of Building Science. The primary purpose of Hazus is to provide a methodology and software application to develop earthquake loss at a regional scale. The Hazus earthquake scenario modeled a 6.5 event along the Golden Fault, located approximately 20 miles southwest of Weld County. This scenario was used because it represents the "worst case scenario": a large earthquake event along the closest quaternary fault to the county. Statewide soil type and landslide layers were incorporated into the model in order to further refine the results of the analysis. Ground motion was modeled for the event at each structure point in order to provide building loss estimates as well as at the census tract level to estimate debris generation and shelter requirements. Structure point data was leveraged from a previous FEMA losses avoided study that was done in region. Additional pre-processing was necessary to prepare these points for the countywide analysis in Hazus and in some cases field assumptions were made based on the standards set forth in FEMA's regional guidance as well as the Hazus manuals. It should be noted that point location was not further refined, and FEMA manually adjusted those points only within their particular areas of interest/analysis. Finally, areas without an assessed or improved value were removed from the resulting loss estimates as it was assumed that there was no structure present in these land parcels. According to the Hazus inventory, there are an estimated 83,377 buildings in Weld County with a total building replacement value (excluding contents) of $14,457,622,721. Approximately 68% of the buildings (and 54% of the building value) are associated with residential housing. 5.2.2.4 Potentiol Losses In Colorado, earthquakes are considered low probability, high -consequence events. Although earthquakes may occur infrequently they can have devastating impacts. Ground shaking can lead to the collapse of buildings and bridges; disrupt gas, life lines, electric, and phone service. Deaths, injuries, and extensive property damage are possible vulnerabilities from this hazard. Some secondary hazards caused by earthquakes may include fire, hazardous material release, landslides, flash flooding, avalanches, tsunamis, and dam failure. Moderate and even very large earthquakes are inevitable, although very infrequent, in areas of normally low seismic activity. Consequently, buildings in these regions are seldom designed to deal with an earthquake threat; therefore, they are extremely vulnerable. Most property damage and earthquake -related injuries and deaths are caused by the failure and collapse of structures due to ground shaking. The level of damage depends upon the amplitude and duration of the shaking, which are directly related to the earthquake size, distance from the fault, site, and regional geology. Other damaging earthquake effects include landslides, the down -slope movement of soil and rock (mountain regions and along hillsides), and liquefaction, in which ground soil loses shear strength and the ability to support foundation loads. In the case of liquefaction, anything relying on the substrata for support can shift, tilt, rupture, or collapse. For the risk assessment conducted as part of the 2016 Plan, a 6.5-magnitude earthquake scenario with an epicenter on the Golden Fault was simulated in Hazus. Again, this scenario's event parameters and locations were chosen based on pre-existing scenarios outlined by the Colorado Geological Survey. The Front Range is defined by a 500- to 1,000-m-high, east -facing escarpment called the Golden Fault that is both a tectonic and erosional feature. The Golden Fault is a quaternary fault that bounds the eastern side of the Front Range near the town of Golden, adjacent to the Denver Metropolitan Area. The Golden Fault $8 INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT was selected as an epicenter because it is the closest proximity quaternaryfault to Weld County.

Total economic losses include losses from building/infrastructure damage, relocation, and business interruption. For the Golden Fault earthquake scenario, the total losses were estimated to be $ 365,508,236. By far, the largest estimated losses were sustained by the residential buildings which made up seventy-one percent (71%) of the total economic losses. Spatially, a majority of the worst loss areas were located in the western, urban portion of the county. Generally, these are areas which are more densely/highly populated and more closely located to the Golden epicenter. But, the fact that large damage differences are seen across the western portion of the county show that other factors are influencing the Hazus loss estimations, most likely dealing with the underlying building stock data.

Hazus estimates that about 74,460 buildings in the County will have no damage, 9,199 buildings will be at least slightly damaged, 1,541 buildings will be at least moderately damaged, 149 buildings will be at least extensively damaged, and 12 buildings in the County will be completely damaged if a 6.5 earthquake were to occur on the Golden Fault. Damages to Critical Facilities/Infrastructure The Hazus earthquake model also provides estimates relating to the expected damages to and functionality of the County's critical facilities and critical infrastructure, as defined by Hazus. The tables on the following pages detail these estimates. For the Golden Fault scenario, the following Table provides post -event damage and functionality estimates for specific types of essential facilities within Weld County. In addition to estimating the number of facilities what will suffer either moderate or complete damage to over 50% of the structure, the table shows the number of facilities that will be operating at or over 50% functionality almost immediately after the earthquake event. ,&tt .ir- Cm= I 95 Q, INTERNATIOHAt !M(�plM[T IWXI�lMRMT WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI-1URISDICf10NAL HA ARD MITIGATIONTPLAN Table 28.

It is reasonable to expect future earthquakes as large as magnitude 6.5, the largest event on record in Colorado. Calculations based on the historical earthquake records and geological evidence of recent fault activity suggest that an earthquake of magnitude 6 or greater may be expected somewhere in Colorado every several centuries. Earthquakes strike with little to no warning and they are capable of having multiple impacts on an area. After-effects from an earthquake can include impacted roadways, downed power and communication lines, fires, and damages to structures (especially poorly built, or those already in disrepair). Earthquakes are not a seasonal hazard, and thus can be experienced year round. This fact presents its own set of planning and preparedness concerns. Ultimately, the probability of an earthquake occurring in Weld County is low. Additionally, if an earthquake were to occur in the near future it is likely to be of a low magnitude, with expected damages to property and people to be minimal. History has shown, however, that Weld County and Colorado are at risk to a larger magnitude seismic event. Should that type of event occur, major damages and losses should be expected. This fact makes these low probability, high impact hazards a challenge to deal with when planning a mitigation strategy to combat all hazards faced by a community. Standard building codes have the opportunity to provide Weld County with reasonable guidance for development throughout unincorporated and incorporated areas. Contractors and builders should be aware of applicable codes and regulations designed to reduce losses sustained by new and existing construction due to seismic hazards. For example, the light weight of wood frame buildings results in less force from inertia. Less force means less damage. Wood's natural flexibility also is an advantage when seismic forces are brought to bear and the nailed joints in wood frame buildings dissipate energy and motion. Wood's inherent earthquake resistance must be accompanied by design and construction techniques that take advantage of those characteristics. Structural wood ,panels nailed to wall framing add rigid bracing, help resist lateral loads and help tie framing members together. Bolted connections at the sill plate/foundation joint help keep the structure in one spot. Securely connected wall, floor, and roof framing also help tie a structure together and make it a single, solid structural unit. Proper connections will do more to hold a house together during an earthquake than any other single seismic design element. As development grows in the County and its municipalities, it will be important for citizens to consult with local building codes as modern building codes generally require seismic design elements for new construction. 5.2.1.6 Land Use and Development With the unpredictable nature of earthquake epicenter locations, it is not feasible to identify specific areas where development may exacerbate the risk to an earthquake. It should be assumed that all development increases the risk to the County from the threat of earthquakes. As population and development continue to expand in Weld County, continued enforcement of the unified construction code has great potential to mitigate increasing vulnerability and development pressure. ,.=+ 100 - LS -r INTERNATIONAL I MIWAh VMAMMIM1111 Earthquakes are relatively uncommon in Weld County and the probability is low that they will occur regularly in the future. However, if an event was to occur within the county, there is potential for significant structural damage to occur near the epicenter. Due to the nature of earthquake hazards, areas in Weld County with high population densities and large numbers of structures and critical facilities are expected to experience greater damage and loss from an earthquake event. This includes jurisdictions located primarily in the central western and southwestern portion of the county, such as: • Greeley • Windsor • Johnstown • Evans • Fort Lupton Communities located in the eastern part of the County, may experience differential impacts from an earthquake event if transportation or utility infrastructure is damaged and prevents communities from responding or evacuating.

Combined with increases in wind speed, such temperatures can be life threatening to those who are exposed for extended periods of time. Extreme heat can be described as temperatures that hover 10°F or more above the average high temperature for a region at least for several weeks. A heat wave is a period of excessive heat, which can lead to illness and other stress to vulnerable people and those who experience prolonged exposure to the heat. High humidity, which rarely accompanies heat waves in Weld County, can make the effects of heat even more harmful. While heat -related illness and death can occur from exposure to intense heat in just one afternoon, heat stress on the body has a cumulative effect. Consequently, the persistence of a heat wave increases the threat to public health. HAZARD PROFILE: Extreme Cold The majority of Weld County is located in the flat, grass -covered eastern plains — the high plains of the Great Plains. Summer temperatures on the eastern plains average in the mid-70s OF for July and August. However, daily minimum and maximum temperatures can vary as much as 40-50 OF. Winters on the eastern plains are typically dry, cold, and windy. Although snowfall is usually light, winter blizzards do affect Weld County residents. Average January nighttime low temperatures range from around 10 to 30 OF, with daily highs averaging from the mid-30s to 50°F. Sudden and frequent changes in temperature occur quite often in Colorado. Prolonged periods of extremely cold or hot weather are unusual; however, temperatures above 100 OF have occurred as well temperatures below 0 OF. Extended periods of extreme cold, although infrequent, can occur throughout the winter months in Weld County. When cold temperatures and wind combine, dangerous wind chills can develop. Wind chill is how cold it "feels" and is based on the rate of heat loss on exposed skin from wind and cold. As the wind increases, it draws heat from the body, driving down skin temperature, and eventually, internal body temperature. This makes the environment feel much colder than the actual temperature. As depicted in the figure below, the National Weather Service's Wind Chill Chart shows the difference between actual air temperature and perceived temperature, as well as the amount of time until frostbite occurs.

Source: NWS HAZARD PROFILE: Extreme Heat Extreme heat events are a considerable public health concern and are one of the leading weather -related killers in the United States. Although extreme heat events can occur in May or September, they are most common between June and August when above average temperatures are sustained for a prolonged period. During extended periods of very high temperatures , or high temperatures coupled with high humidity, individuals can suffer a variety of health problems, including heatstroke, heat exhaustion, heat syncope, and heat cramps. The Heat Index measures the severity of hot weather by estimating how hot it feels to humans. By combining air temperature and relative humidity, the Heat Index is directly related to skin temperature. The ambient temperature is quantified by examining the relation between relative humidity versus skin temperature. If the relative humidity is higher (or lower) than the base value, the apparent temperature is higher (or lower) than the ambient temperature. The following Table outlines the heat disorders associated with apparent temperature values during extreme heat events. Table 30.

The NCDC database indicates that since then there have been 0 injuries and 0 deaths reported from 65 extreme cold/winter weather events in Weld County. There are most likely additional extreme cold/winter weather events prior to 1996 that have not been captured by the database specifically for Weld County. Understanding the historical frequency of extreme cold temperatures in Weld County assists in determining the likelihood of future occurrences. The characteristics of past extreme cold and significant winter weather events provide a benchmark for projecting similar conditions into the future. The probability that Weld County will experience extreme cold temperatures in the future can be difficult to quantify, but based on historical record of 65 events since 1996, it can reasonably be assumed that this type of event has occurred once every year from 1996 through 2015. Historic frequencies suggest that there is a 100% chance of a hazardous extreme cold/winter weather event will affect Weld County each year. Extreme Heat Data supports a shift towards a warmer climate with an increase in extreme high temperatures across the United States. The graph below depicts annual statewide mean temperature history for the state of Colorado from 1895 to 2015. The probability of continued (and more frequent) extreme heat events across Colorado is supported by the clear upward trend in high temperatures since 1895. 111 - I N T E R N A T t 0 N A L IMiRCLMC�' WM�WMFM� Colorado Mean Temperature Annual 48 �--- I l -- - --I- • -- --- - --- r — -- I I � I fj 46 m � CL —^�--- - - — --- �-- �^— I — 1, 44 r •-_ .. - - I - - - -.. _.

Mean Colorado Temperature Trends (1895 — 2015) 5.2.3.3 Inventory Exposed Unlike other natural hazards that affect Weld County, extreme temperatures have limited physical destructive force. However, damages to inventory assets exposed to extreme cold is dependent on the age of the building, type, construction material used, and condition of the structure. Heavy snow loads on roofs, particularly large span roofs, can cause roofs to leak or even collapse depending on their construction. Extremely cold temperatures may cause pipes to freeze and subsequently burst, causing water damage. During the winter months, freezing temperatures and repeated freeze -thaw events can cause potholes, which may damage vehicles. Hazardous travel conditions may result if potholes are not tended to promptly. Frozen pipes, a common occurrence during extreme cold events, can cause service interruptions in water supply, gas supply, and drainage. Most likely the greatest issue for critical facilities during significant extreme cold events is the inaccessibility of such facilities due to poor roadways, utility outages, or dangerous wind chills. During periods of heavy snow, ice, or blizzards, roads can quickly become impassable, stranding motorists and isolating communities. Long term road closures during an extended cold period may diminish and threaten propane and fuel supplies. Possible losses to critical infrastructure include: a Electric power disruption r I 112 t INTERNAT 10 N A L cNeaeener w�uwe►eEin W Lla C©U 0 M 1 J Rb p1( 111 111111"NAL HA RD MITIGA ION PLAN • Communication disruption • Water and fuel shortages • Road closures • Damaged infrastructure components, such as sewer lift stations and treatment plants Extended power outages during extreme cold events may make many homes and offices unbearably cold. Additionally, during extended winter -time power outages, people often make the mistake of bringing portable generators inside or not venting them properly, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning. With poor road conditions, sheltering residents may present significant logistical challenges with getting people to heated facilities, feeding, and providing medical care. These situations, accompanied by stranded motorists that need to be rescued, represent significant threats to the population of Weld County. Additional information on construction type and building codes enforced at time of construction would allow a more thorough assessment of the vulnerability of structures to extreme cold impacts. Extreme heat can cause pavement of roads and bridges, or railroad tracks, to crack or buckle, resulting in service disruptions and potentially hazardous travel conditions. The most significant impact of extreme heat on general building stock and critical facilities within Weld County is the increased demand on air conditioning equipment. Surges in air conditioning demand can sometimes strain electrical systems and energy resources. Public utility infrastructure (including electrical generating and conveyance systems) may become damaged and break down causing localized and/or widespread power outages. All assets located in Weld County can be considered to be exposed to extreme temperatures. This includes 100 percent of the County's population and all buildings and critical infrastructure located within the County. Most structures, including the county's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection in the event of an extreme temperature event. Facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Additionally, public buildings with cooling systems are ideal shelters for at -risk individuals and families during heat waves. 5.2.3.4 Potentio! Losses Although estimated property losses associated with extreme temperature hazards are anticipated to be minimal across the planning area, extreme heat and cold events do present a significant life and safety threat to the population of Weld County. Heat casualties are usually caused by lack of adequate air conditioning and/or heat exhaustion. Extreme heat tends to affect the elderly, infirm, homeless, or low- income families the most, as these populations frequently live on low fixed incomes and cannot afford to run air conditioning on a regular basis. These socially vulnerable populations are often isolated, with no immediate family and/or limited mobility, which makes it more difficult for them to remove themselves from danger. Casualties caused by extreme cold events can result from a lack of adequate heating, carbon monoxide poisoning from unsafe or unventilated heating systems, and frostbite from exposure to the elements. Again, the most vulnerable populations to extreme cold are the elderly, infirm, homeless, and low-income families. Often, these individuals do not have access to a heat source or are unable to afford to operate one on a regular basis. Because there is no defined geographic boundary for extreme temperature hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within Weld County are exposed to extreme temperatures. Those with elevated risk and . r 113- p•�� Y INTERNATIONAL EME0.GENCY MAjOGEMENT WELD COUNTY 2016 MULE (-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGAT10NTPLAI potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, and low income families. Given the lack of historical data and limited likelihood of structural losses in Weld County resulting from extreme heat or cold, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for Weld County due to extreme temperatures are currently considered unquantifiable. MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL DIFFERENCES Due to the regional nature of extreme temperatures hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of extreme temperatures. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, low income families and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerable to extreme temperatures by local jurisdiction. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, a high poverty rate and/or large numbers of rental properties can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during extreme temperature events. Table 33.

The Town of Keenesburg has the highest percentage of people over the age of 65, and the Town of Firestone has the lowest percentage. The percentage of people living below poverty level in Weld County is higher than the state of Colorado. The City of Greeley has the highest percentage and the Town of Severance has the lowest percentage of people living below poverty level. Weld County percent of renter occupied homes is slightly lower than the State. The City of Greeley has the highest percent and the Town of Severance has the lowest percent of renter occupied homes. Based on these statistics, Greeley residents (in general) appear to be more acutely vulnerable to the impacts of extreme temperatures compared to other communities within Weld County. That said, future mitigation efforts related to extreme temperature should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, live in poverty or are homeless, or are renters. 5.2.3.5 Probobility of Future Occurrences Based on data provided by the NWS and NCDC, it is likely that Weld County will continue to experience hazardous extreme heat events in the future, and for more prolonged periods of time. During extreme temperature events, inadequate protection from the elements is especially hazardous. A combination of more frequent heat waves and changing demographics (e.g. an increase in the elderly population) is likely to result in higher rates of temperature -related deaths in Weld County. In order to mitigate the impacts of extreme temperature hazards it is important that the county prioritize outreach and services to specific populations who are most vulnerable. High -vulnerability groups typically experience a disproportionate number of health impacts from extreme heat and cold, often due to physical, social, and economic limitations to adequate participation in mitigation and response activity. In the context of extreme temperature events, the most vulnerable Weld County residents are: • The elderly (people over 65 years of age) • Infants ( under 1 year old) • The homeless • Low income families • Socially isolated individuals • People with mobility restrictions and/or mental impairments • The infirm • Outdoor laborers 7a A1�y. I 1.1.5 - sr� INTERNATIONAL EMUMEMEYM A(,EMEM Although stopping extreme temperature events is impossible, limiting their effect on people and property in Weld County is feasible. Ongoing mitigation activities should focus on protecting lives and preventing injuries during periods of extreme heat and cold. This includes, but is not limited to pre -season community outreach campaigns to educate the public about risks and available support; establishing cooling and heating centers; reaching out to vulnerable populations and care givers; and issuing advisories and warnings. 5.2.3.6 Land use and Development All future structures built in Weld County will likely be exposed to severe seasonal temperature extremes. As with other large extent hazards, increased development trends in and around Weld County will increase the vulnerability of growing areas to extreme heat and cold. Weld County and its jurisdictions must continue to adhere to building codes to facilitate new development that is built to current standards to account for future climate extremes. Additionally, as homes go up in more rural parts of the county, accessing those rural residents will present new emergency management and response challenges should sheltering or emergency services be needed in an extreme event.

HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN 5.2.4 Flood (including Dam & Levee Failure) 5.2.4.1 Hazard Identification A flood is a naturally occurring event for rivers and streams and occurs when a normally dry area is inundated with water, Excess water from snowmelt or rainfall accumulates and overflows onto the stream banks and adjacent floodplains. As illustrated in the figure below, floodplains are lowlands, adjacent to rivers, streams, and creeks that are subject to recurring floods, Flash floods, usually resulting from heavy rains or rapid snowmelt, can flood areas not typically subject to flooding, including urban areas. Additionally, extreme cold temperatures can cause streams and rivers to freeze, causing ice jams and creating flood conditions. Special Flood Hazard Area (100-Year Floodplaln) Flood Fringe Floodway S, Flood Fringe Base Flood Elevation NormaQWateevel Figure 22. Floodplain Terminology Floods are considered hazards when people and property are affected. Nationwide, hundreds of floods occur each year, making it one of the most common hazards in all 50 states and U.S. territories. Most injuries and deaths from flooding happen when people are swept away by flood currents and most property damage results from inundation by sediment -filled water. Fast-moving water can wash buildings off of their foundations and sweep vehicles downstream. Pipelines, bridges, and other infrastructure can be damaged when high water combines with flood debris. Basement flooding can also cause extensive damage. Flooding can cause extensive damage to crop lands and bring about the loss of livestock. Several factors determine the severity of floods including rainfall intensity and duration, topography, and ground cover. Riverine flooding originates from a body of water, typically a river, creels, or stream, as water levels rise onto normally dry land. Water from snowmelt, rainfall, freezing streams, ice flows, or a combination I 117 - INTERNATIONAL tMtI1AWV wAMO tMti,T WE D CO N O1 - RID I NA D MITI ATI PAN thereof, causes the river or stream to overflow its banks into adjacent floodplains. Winter flooding usually occurs when ice in the rivers creates dams or streams freeze from the bottom up during extreme cold spells. Spring flooding is usually the direct result of melting winter snow packs, heavy spring rains, or a combination of the two. Flash floods can occur anywhere when a large volume of water flows or melts over a short time period, usually from slow moving thunderstorms or rapid snowmelt. Because of the localized nature of flash floods, clear definitions of hazard areas do not exist. These types of floods often occur rapidly with significant impacts. Rapidly moving water, only a few inches deep, can lift people off their feet, and only a depth of a foot or two, is needed to sweep cars away. Most flood deaths result from flash floods. Urban flooding is the result of development and the ground's decreased ability to absorb excess water without adequate drainage systems in place. Typically, this type of flooding occurs when land uses change from fields or woodlands to roads and parking lots. Urbanization can increase runoff two to six times more than natural terrain. The flooding of developed areas may occur when the amount of water generated from rainfall and runoff exceeds a storm water system's capability to remove it. Stream Bank Erosion is measured as the rate of the change in the position or horizontal displacement of a stream bank over a period of time. It is generally associated with riverine flooding and discharge, and may be exacerbated by human activities such as bank hardening and dredging. Ice Jams are stationary accumulations of ice that restrict flow through a waterway. Ice jams can cause considerable increases in upstream water levels, while at the same time, downstream water levels may drop. Types of ice jams include freeze up jams, breakup jams, or combinations of both. When an ice jam releases, the effects downstream can be similar to that of a flash flood or dam failure. Ice jam flooding generally occurs in the late winter or spring. Floods from Dam Failure events are typically the result of either hydrologic or structural deficiencies. Dam failure by hydrologic deficiency is a result of inadequate spillway capacity, which can cause a dam to be overtopped during large flows into the reservoir. Failure usually occurs when excessive runoff happens after unusually heavy precipitation events. Large waves generated on reservoirs from landslides, or the sudden inflow from upstream dam failures, are other potential causes of darn failure by overtopping. Levees provide strong flood protection; however, they do not eliminate risk because they only reduce the risk to individuals and structures behind them. Levees are designed to protect against specific, pre- determined flood levels and are sometimes overtopped during severe weather events. As water passes over the top of a levee, it sometimes erodes the levee, worsening the flooding and potentially causing a breach. Levee Failure floods occur when a breach occurs, which may happen gradually or suddenly. The most dangerous breaches happen quickly. The resulting torrent can quickly inundate a large area behind the failed levee with little or no warning. Flooding events are typically measured in terms of magnitude and the statistical probability that they will occur. The 1% annual chance flood event is the standard national measurement for flood mitigation and insurance. A lib annual chance flood, also known as the `100-year flood', has a 1 in 100 chance of being equaled or exceeded in any 1 year and has an average recurrence interval of 100 years. It is important to note that this recurrence interval is an average; it does not necessarily mean that a flood of such a magnitude will happen exactly every 100 years. Sometimes, only a few years may pass between one 1% annual chance flood and another while two other 1% annual chance floods may be separated by 150 I 118 M.

The 0.2% annual chance flood event, or the '500-year flood', is another measurement which represents a 0.2% chance (or 1 in 500 chance) of occurring in a given year. According to the NFiP's Community Information System (CIS) Weld County has been mapped for flood hazards and participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Details of local jurisdiction participation status are shown in the table below. Table 34.

Although Weld County participates in the NFIP, the community does not participate in the Community Rating System (CRS). CRS is a voluntary program for NFIP participating communities. The goals of the CRS are to reduce flood damages to insurable property, to strengthen and supportthe insurance aspects of the NFIP, and to encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management. The CRS was developed to provide incentives in the form of insurance premium discounts to communities that go above and beyond the minimum floodplain management requirements and develop extra measures to reduce flood risk. There are 10 CRS classes and the classification determines the insurance premium discount for policy holders. The discounts range from 5% to a maximum of 45%. Table 35.

All CRS participating communities start out with a Class 10 rating (which provides no premium discount). Class 1 requires the most credit points and offers the largest premium discount. Within the CRS program, there are 18 activities recognized as measures for eliminating local exposure to flooding. Credit points are assigned to each activity, which have been organized under four main categories: • Public Information • Mapping and Regulation • Flood Damage Reduction • Flood Preparedness During the hazard mitigation planning process, participating jurisdictions discussed the benefits of joining CRS. Most communities decided that participating in CRS was not feasible for them at this time but will consider joining the program in the future. HAZARD PROFILE Seasonally, Weld County is confronted with the possibility of flooding and flood -related hazards. Floods have the potential to inflict tremendous damages with significant losses of life and property. They can also pose a threat to the health, safety, and welfare of Weld County residents and visitors. Previous flooding events have caused thousands of dollars in damage in just a few hours or days in the region and current development and population growth trends necessitate a heightened awareness that the impact of flooding may likely increase in Weld County over time. The map below depicts the current special flood hazard areas (SFHA) for Weld County.

Map of Weld County Special Flood Hazard Areas I 121 INTERNATIONAL EMERGEXCT ~AGLMENT The type of property damage caused by flood events depends on the depths and velocity of the floodwaters. Faster moving floodwaters can wash buildings off their foundations and sweep cars downstream. Pipelines, bridges, and other infrastructure can be damaged when high waters combine with flood debris. Extensive damage can be caused by basement flooding and landslide damage related to soil saturation from flood events. Seepage into basements is common during flood events. Most flood damage is caused by water saturating materials susceptible to loss (e.g., wood, insulation, wallboard, fabric, furnishings, floor coverings, and appliances). Homes in flooded areas can also suffer damage to septic systems and drain fields. In many cases, flood damage to homes renders them uninhabitable. Flood events impact businesses by damaging property and by interrupting business. Flood events can cut off customer access to a business as well as close a business for repairs or permanently. A quick response to the needs of businesses affected by flood events can help a community maintain economic vitality in the face of flood damage. Responses to business damages can include funding to assist owners in elevating or relocating flood -prone business structures. During flooding events, homes, businesses, and people face the threat of explosions and fires caused by leaking gas lines along with the possibility of being electrocuted. Domestic and wild animals forced out of their homes and brought into contact with humans by floodwaters can also pose a threat. In rural areas, property damage caused by flooding can be devastating to ranchers and farmers. When flooding occurs during the growing season, farmers can suffer widespread crop loss. Stock growers may lose livestock if they are unable to find safety from rising floodwaters. Flooding may also cause damage to pasture land, fences, barns, and out buildings. Publicly owned facilities are a key component of daily life for all citizens of the county. Public buildings are of particular importance during flood events because they house critical assets for government response and recovery activities. Damage to public water and sewer systems, transportation networks, flood control facilities, emergency facilities, and offices can hinder the ability of the government to deliver services. Loss of power and communications can be expected. Drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities may be temporarily out of operation. Mitigation against flood events is accomplished through sensible floodplain management and regulations as well as identifying flood prone areas, tributary watersheds that experience instability or sediment loading problems, and channel instability hazards. This involves strategies to modify flooding and to modify infrastructure to decrease the likelihood of damage. To modify the impact of flooding, measures must betaken to decrease susceptibility to flood damage and disruptions. Natural and cultural resources must also be protected and managed. Coordination with mitigation plans by Floodplain Managers will increase effectiveness of flood mitigation projects. City and County Planners will be valuable resources to incorporate flood mitigation plans into their respective plans. 5.2.4,2 Previous Occurrences Documentation of flooding in Colorado collected by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) and the University of South Carolina's Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute (HVRI) goes back to 1950.

During the week beginning on September 91h, a slow moving cold front circulated over the state, clashing with warm, humid monsoonal air from the south. While damages are still being assessed for the 2013 flooding event, NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) Storm Events Database estimates that Weld County sustained $231 million in property damage and another $4.5 million in crop damage. It should be noted, however, that the 2013 flooding was not a worst -case event for Weld County. According to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) and the University of South Carolina's HVRI, Weld County has been impacted by 45 major flood events since 1950. Aggregate loss data for these events is included in the "Historical Flood Impacts" previous table. I 124 .-FT - tY��1 - INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANA{EMEM Repetitive Loss properties (RL) are structures covered by a contract for flood insurance made available under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that: (a) have incurred flood -related damage on two occasions, in which the cost of repair, on the average, equaled or exceeded 25% of the market value of the structure at the time of each flood event; and (b) at the time of the second incidence of flood -related damage, the contract for flood insurance contains increased cost of compliance coverage. A Severe Repetitive Loss property (5131) is defined as a residential property that is covered under an NFIP flood insurance policy and: a) has at least four NFIP claim payments (including building and contents) over $5,000 each, and the cumulative amount of such claims payments exceeds $20,000; or, b) a property for which at least two separate claim payments (building payments only) have been made with the cumulative amount of the building portion of such claims exceeding the market value of the building. For both a) and b) above, at least two of the referenced claims must have occurred within any ten-year period, and must be greater than ten days apart. As of January 2015, there was one severe repetitive loss (SRL) structure located within Weld County. The single family residence is located in the City of Greeley and is currently in a Zone A (it was in a Zone C in 2010-2011). The property has not undergone any mitigation projects. Table 37.

The risk assessment leveraged locally managed inventory, hazard, and terrain data, where available. Hazus is a regional multi -hazard loss estimation model developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Institute of Buildings Sciences (NIBS). The Hazus delineations developed for this Plan were generated using the fully - automated tools within the software, which use generalized regional regression equations to estimate flows and normal depth calculations to estimate flood depths. FUM ^}[ I` - i. ���; INTERNATIONAL EMERrAN(Y MµNA(.EMEr The flood scenario modeled the 100 year return event, based on the latest available FEMA DFIRM data. A flood depth grid was developed utilizing a countywide elevation surface derived from local LIDAR (Post 2013 Colorado Flood Event data) as well as USGS 10 meter national elevation dataset (NED) data. Geo- processing models built in ArcGIS Modelbuilder and Python were leveraged in order to create the ground surface mosaic as well as generate the flood depth grid based on the input data. Hazus floodplain delineations were post -processed to remove artifacts and flow areas less than 0.5 feet deep. Where Hazus could not determine floodplain delineations, the automated tools within HEC- GeoRAS were used to generate geometry data that was then used in HEC-RAS to model the floodplain. Flows used in HEC-RAS were either taken from the Hazus analysis or were developed using the U.S. Geological Survey's online StreamStats tool to implement the Colorado regional regression equations. HEC-GeoRAS was used to post -process the HEC-RAS model results and produce floodplain delineations. The map below shows the flooding threat to critical facilities in Weld County by layering identified special flood hazard areas (SFHA) with the locations of community -defined critical facilities. Critical facilities are essential to the health and welfare of the whole population and are especially important both during and after hazard events. Critical structures or areas that overlap or touch the SFHA are considered "flood prone." In addition to the SFHA boundaries, the flood risk analysis for this Plan integrates DFIRM depth grids, a digital dataset that shows flood depths at various locations within the floodplain. This enhanced data input allows Hazus to more accurately approximate floodplain boundaries and their associated flood depths for a 100-year flood event. Due to the availability of LiDAR elevation data, as well as complete countywide floodplain coverage, a detailed depth grid was locally developed for this planning effort. This depth grid was developed by combining the effective FEMA 100 year floodplains with several Urban Drainage Flood Control District FHADs (Flood Hazard Area Delineations) that covered the area of analysis. The resulting floodplain represents the most detailed and temporally accurate depiction of the current flood hazards in Weld County. A water surface elevation surface was created from the aforementioned floodplains and this surface was intersected with the most accurate elevation data available (2013 LiDAR and NED data) to obtain a flood depth surface. The map below shows the SFHA and the associated flood depths within Weld County generated for the 100-year risk analysis.

The parcel centroid points were produced by utilizing parcel and assessor data provided by Weld County GIS. This data was converted to parcel centroid (point) data and spatially corrected to ensure geographical accuracy of the points and the associated structures in all areas within the designated 100-year floodplain. In some cases there were multiple, distinctly different, structures within a single designated parcel. In these cases, points were generated on top of each individual structure and the total appraised value of the parcel was divided up equally among the structures. Important attributes such as year built and land use were missing for many parcels throughout the county. In these cases the average value of the associated census block was used in the risk assessment. A 100-year flood scenario was defined in Hazus and losses were calculated for each point that intersected the depth grid based on the Hazus depth damage curves for specific structure attributes (such as foundation type, building type, and first flood height). The map below shows the results of the Hazus 100- year flood scenario economic loss analysis for Weld County. Future flood risk assessments conducted within Weld County (including Hazus-based assessments) should ensure that they continue to incorporate additional floodplain data sets that were not able to be fully utilized as part of the 2016 Plan. 129 rkrj "IT M- IN 'r E R N AT I ON A L fMGWF� WMaf,[YFM[ WELD COUNTY 2016 MULFTI-JORISO!GTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN 1% Annual Flood Scenario Loss Estimation Legend Loss estimations are derived from Hazus-HM 2.2 flood scenario Major Roads Total Economic Loss (Count) involving the 1% Annual Chance Flood Event (100-Year Flood). 0 weld county o $100 - $10,000 (564) Total economic losses include: building repair costs, contents, 1% Depth Grid (Feet) D $10,001 - $50,000 (425) business inventory, costs of relocation, capital -related, wage, High : 57,856 a $50.001 - $100,000 (85) and rental losses.

These places represent areas where resources and people are concentrated, making those areas of high potential loss and clear priority areas for focused mitigation action. Hazus estimates for Weld County estimate that for a 100-year flood event, approximately 1,163 buildings will be at least moderately damaged. The total economic loss estimated for the 100-year flood is over $54 million dollars. A number of variables are included in Hazus analyses in order to arrive at the estimated values of loss due to flooding. For this reason, it is important to note that the Hazus loss estimates detailed below should not be used as a precise measure, but rather viewed from the perspective of the potential magnitudes of expected losses. When calculating building losses Hazus breaks loss values into two categories: direct economic losses and indirect economic losses. Direct economic losses are the estimated costs to repair or replace the damage caused to a building and its contents. These values are organized in terms of Building Losses and Building Content Losses. Indirect economic losses include Inventory Losses and other losses associated with business interruption and the inability to operate a business because of the damage sustained during the flood. The total building losses for the 100-year flood event were estimated to be over $24.4 million. This represents over 45% of total economic losses from flooding in the county. Building content losses were estimated to be over $18.4 million, representing roughly 34% of total economic losses from flooding. Inventory losses were estimated to be over $1.1 million. This represents roughly 21% of total economic losses due to the 100-year flood modeled in the Hazus scenario. The table below provides a summary of the economic losses associated with building damage by jurisdiction. Only those jurisdictions with expected losses are included in the table (unlisted jurisdictions do not have structures that are expected to sustain damage from the 100-year flood scenario). Table 42.

The probability that the County and its municipalities will experience a flood event can be difficult to predict or quantify. However, based on historical records of 45 flood events since 1950, it can reasonably be assumed that this type of event has occurred once every 1.4 years from 1950 through 2015. Severe flooding has the potential to inflict significant damage to people and property in Weld County. Mitigating flood damage requires that communities throughout the County remain diligent and notify local officials of potential flood (and flash flood) prone areas near infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings. While the potential for flooding is always present, Weld County has existing land -use policies and regulations for development to help lessen potential damage due to floods. 5.2.4.6 Land Use and Development As population continues to increase in Weld County, future development trajectories can be expected to put more people and property, both private and public, at risk of flooding. It is essential that zoning and land use plans take into account not only the dollar amount of damage that buildings near waterways could incur, but also the added risk of floodplain development activity that alters the natural flood plain of the area (for example, narrowing the floodplains by building new structures close to rivers and streams). The county as a whole should plan for the likelihood of increased exposure of property and humans to flood events. Existing floodplain management ordinances are intended to address methods and practices to minimize flood damage to new and substantial home improvement projects as well as to address zoning and subdivision ordinances and state regulations. Currently, Weld County is a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) participant and continues to support floodplain management activity at the county and local scale. The greatest protection against flooding is afforded by quality construction and compliance with local ordinances which exceed NFIP requirements. Code adoption by local jurisdictions, compliance by builders, and local government inspection of new homes can greatly reduce the risk of flooding. Moving forward, Weld County will continue to support monitoring, analysis, modeling, and the development of decision - support systems and geographic information applications for floodplain management activities. 134 " INTERNATIONAL IMMANCV MNWG MIIR WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Additionally, jurisdictions within the county should consider participating in the Community Rating System (CRS). In addition to land -use planning, zoning, and codes applicable to new development, flood mitigation measures include structural and non-structural measures to address susceptibility of existing structures. Flood mitigation measures such as acquisition, relocation, elevation -in -place, wet/dry flood proofing, and enhanced storm drainage systems all have the potential to effectively reduce the impact of flood in Weld County. 135I MrT kuw .- - INTERNATIONAL lwtnwM MAN"IM[YT WELD GOUNTY 2016 MUL I-lURESDIGTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN 5.2.5 HAZMAT SPATIAL WARNING RF NATURAL HAZARDS PROBABILITY IMPACT DURATION EXTENT TIME RATITI NG HAZMAT 0.825 0.600 0.450 0.383 0.225 2.483 MODERATE RISK (2.0 to 2.4) 5.2.5.1 Nazord Identification A hazardous material (also known as HAZMAT) is defined by the U.S. Department of Transportation as "a threat that poses an unreasonable risk to health and safety of operating or emergency personnel, the public, and/or the environment if not property controlled during handling, storage, manufacturing, processing, packaging, use, disposal, or transportation." Hazardous materials are defined and regulated in the United States primarily by laws and regulations administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Each has its own definition of a "hazardous material." For the purpose of tracking and managing hazardous materials, the DOT divides regulated hazardous materials into nine classes: Table 45. Hazardous Materials -- Classes and Descriptions Hazard Class Description 1.1 mass explosion hazard 1.2 projectile hazard Class 1: Explosives 13 minor blast/projectile/fire 1.4 minor blast 1.5 insensitive explosives 1.6 very insensitive explosives 2.1 flammable gases Class 2: Compressed Gases 2.2 non-flammable compressed 2.3 poisonous Flammable (flash point below 141°) Class 3: Flammable Liquids Combustible (flash point 141°-200° 4.1 flammable solids Class 4: Flammable Solids 4.2 spontaneously combustible 4.3 dangerous when wet Class 5: Oxidizers and 5.1 Oxidizer Organic Peroxides 5.2 Organic Peroxide 6.1 Material that is poisonous Class 6: Toxic Materials 6.2 Infectious Agents Radioactive I Class 7: Radioactive Material Radioactive II Radioactive III 74 136 :. - ��� �� INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MIN1(.EMEN WELD COUNTY 20161VOffI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Hazard Class Description Destruction of the human skin Class 8: Corrosive Material Corrode steel at a rate of 0.25 inches per year A material that presents a hazard during Class 9: Miscellaneous shipment but does not meet the definition of the other classes Weld County's 2035 Transportation Plan summarizes existing transportation conditions including current hazardous materials routes. "Weld County has significant oil well activity," states the 2035 Plan. "As a result, trucks carrying oil well production utilize nearly every road in the county." In November 2010, the Weld County Board of County Commissioners passed a Resolution designating all county roads to be considered 'local pick-up and delivery" truck routes for oil production purposes. Hazardous materials that are being transported must have specific packaging and labeling. Specific safety regulations also apply when handling and storing hazardous materials at fixed facilities. In general, there are three recognized sources for HAZMAT incidents within the County: delivery lines, fixed storage facilities and use locations, and transportation lines. Once a HAZMAT incident occurs, the area impacts will depend on the nature of the chemical and climate conditions. All areas should be considered at risk. However, some areas, such as those close to aquifers and other water supplies can expect greater impacts if a spill occurred in the area. Transportation of hazardous materials through Weld County happens at all times of day by way of rail, road, and air. Roadway transport account for the largest amount of hazardous materials moving though the county. That said, rail cars are able to carry much larger quantities of hazardous materials than trucks of cars and can be associated with a greater risk. Title 42, Article 20 of the Colorado Revised Statutes governs the routing of hazardous materials by motor vehicles on all public roads in the state. COOT Policy Directive 1903.0 (effective 5/20/2010), and COOT Procedural Directive 1903.1(effective 2/3/2011), govern CDOT's role in the designation of hazmat routes. In order to designate a state highway in Colorado as hazmat route, COOT staff members, local governments, or private entities must request the Mobility Section of the Division of Transportation Development to perform an analysis of the route. To perform this analysis the Mobility Section convenes a "Hazmat Advisory Team" to determine if the proposed route meets the required criteria. If the required criteria are met and approved by the Transportation Commission, COOT will file a petition with the Colorado State Patrol for approval. Once the Colorado State Patrol approves the petition, the route is designated a hazmat route. The required criteria that the route must meet before it is brought before the Transportation Commission are as follows: • The route(s) under consideration are feasible, practicable, and not unreasonably expensive for such transportation. • The route(s) is continuous within a jurisdiction and from one jurisdiction to another. 137 - y� INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT • The route(s) does not unreasonably burden interstate or intrastate commerce. • The route(s) designation is not arbitrary or intended by the petitioner merely to divert the transportation of hazardous materials to other communities. • The route(s) designation will not interfere with the pickup or delivery of hazardous materials. • The route(s) designation is consistent with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations; and • The route(s) provides greater safety to the public than other feasible routes. Considerations include but are not limited to: o AADT, crash and fatality rates o Population within a one -mile swath of each side of the highway o Locations of schools, hospitals, sensitive environmental areas, rivers, lakes, etc. o Emergency response capabilities on the route o Condition of the route, i.e., vertical and horizontal alignment, pavement condition, level of access to the route, etc. Colorado State Patrol Hazardous Materials Unit (303)273-1900 http:Hcsp.state.co.hazmat.html Troop 8-C is the Hazardous Materials Section of the Colorado State Patrol. Their mission is to contribute to the safety of hazardous materials transportation in order to protect citizens and the environment. Twenty-eight troopers trained a Hazardous Materials Technicians are deployed throughout the state. Local Hazardous Materials Response Teams (most often housed in local fire departments and fire protection districts) are the designated emergency response authority for hazardous substance incidents in all areas of Weld County except on highways, where the State Patrol has jurisdiction. For security reasons, it is not within the scope of this plan to map the locations of all industrial and commercial fixed sites. The following CDOT map shows the state's designated nuclear, hazardous materials, and gasoline, diesel fuel, and liquid petroleum gas routes, many of which pass through the western portion of Weld County.

The large majority of these incidents occurred while the materials were moving along a highway (either in transit, loading, or unloading). Figure 28. A Semitrailer carrying hazardous materials rolled off a ramp and crashed in Greeley (Source: Greeley Fire Department, May 13, 2015) 5.2.5.3 Inventory Exposed We can't accurately predict when or where a HAZMAT incident may occur. Therefore, for the purpose of this plan, all existing and future buildings, facilities, and populations in Weld County are considered to be equally exposed and could potentially be impacted. This includes 57,180 people, or 100% of the County's population, and all buildings and infrastructure within the County. When hazardous materials are being transported they are particularly vulnerability to transportation related accidents, misuse, or terrorist threats. Most hazardous materials are transported in large quantities in order to reduce costs and security is difficult to maintain around moving vehicles that cross jurisdictional boundaries. When transported close to populated areas or critical infrastructure, HAZMAT releases can have serious consequences. The inventory that is most often exposed to HAZMAT risks are railways, roadways, and fixed facilities that contain hazardous materials, and all assets that lie within a mile of the potential release areas. 5.2.5.4 Potential Losses HAZMAT related events occur throughout Weld County every year. The intensity and magnitude of these incidents depend on weather conditions, the location of the event, the time of day, and the process by which the materials are released. Was it raining when the event happened? Were the hazardous materials being transported by rail when they were released or were they at a fixed facility? Did the spill happen J 140 - I N T E H N A T 1 9 N A L [MIMAN_vM A4F ENT during rush hour traffic or in the middle of the night? All of these considerations matter when determining the risk and potential damages associated with a HAZMAT incident. HAZMAT events have the potential to threaten lives and disrupt business activity. Moreover, HAZMAT incidents can cause serious environmental contamination to non-renewable resources such as air, ground, and water sources. 5.2.5.5 Probability of Future Occurrences As with most hazards that have limited spatial predictability or warning time, the probability of future occurrences of HAZMAT events is difficult to predict. However, as development continues to encroach into existing industrial areas and becomes more dense along high -risk designated hazardous materials transportation routes, the risk of future occurrences becomes greater. Even if the frequency of HAZMAT spills remains the same overtime, population growth will increase the probability of a disaster event. 5.2.5.6 Land Use and Development As Weld County continues to experience population growth and development over time, it is anticipated that there will be increased exposure to potential life loss, injuries, and environmental damage resulting from a hazardous materials incident. Serious considerations must be made concerning land use and regulations as increasing development pressures push residential and commercial investment closer to railways and identified hazardous and nuclear materials routes.

Causes of subsidence include, but are not limited to, the removal or reduction of sub -surface fluids (water, oil, gas, etc.), mine subsidence, and hydro compaction. Of these causes, hydro compaction and mine subsidence usually manifest as localized events, while fluid removal may occur either locally or regionally. Land subsidence can occur rapidly due to a sinkhole or the collapse of an underground mine, or during major earthquakes. Subsidence can also take place slowly, becoming evident over the time span of many years. Soils that tend to collapse and settle are those characterized by low -density materials that shrink in volume when they become wet and/or are subjected to weight from development. Subsidence events, depending on their location, can pose significant risks to health, safety, and local agricultural economies and interruption to transportation, and other services. There are hundreds of abandoned underground coal mines scattered throughout Colorado that present potential subsidence hazards to structures and surface improvements. The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) operates the Colorado Mine Subsidence Information Center (MSIC) which is the repository for all of the known existing maps of inactive or abandoned coal mines in the state. Subsidence tends to be problematic along the Colorado Front Range, Western Slope, and in the central mountains near Eagle and Garfield Counties.13 Based on data provided by CGS, there are a number of undermined areas within south western Weld County that are more vulnerable to subsidence. The following Figure presents a map identifying the locations within Weld County that have potential for subsidence due to historical mining activity. 13 2013 Colorado Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan —, - =DMIF Cm= I 142 _ V- r , �i INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEM[NE WELD COUNTY 2016 MNT—P-tQ R IS Q I C-T ION ALT HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Identified Undermined Areas Undermined areas identified in the data set only includes coal and clay mining activity known by the Colorado Geological Survey.

The dataset was developed from multiple sources and digitized by the Colorado Geological Survey in 2008 and presents a spatial view of potential risk. 5.2.6.2 Previous Occurrences Reliable, county -specific historical records of land subsidence events in the State of Colorado is sparse. That said, the Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) has been researching land subsidence in Colorado for over two decades. In addition to publishing regional susceptibility maps and GIS datasets, the CGS has also compiled a series of case histories that describe select land subsidence events across the state. Out of the five case histories highlighted on the CGS "Geologic Hazards" resource site, two are located in Weld County. Table 46. CGS Land Subsidence Case Histories —Weld County Location Event Summary January 2009 - A large subsidence hole was reported at a residence near the corner of a horse barn. The property owners reported the hole opened up overnight and a fence and Erie, CO gate had been destroyed by the event. The hole measured roughly 25 feet by 25 feet by 15 feet deep and was filled with water. Because of the nature of the opening and the proximity to livestock and human activities, the event was considered a subsidence emergency and was backfilled by the Abandoned Mine Lands program December 2008 -A large subsidence hole in a field west of Erie was reported. The hole was about 50 feet in diameter and 35 feet deep before being filled with water. The field where the hole appeared was under consideration for annexation by the town for future residential development. A geophysical investigation conducted 3 months prior did not Erie, CO show any evidence of voids in the area. The hole was located outside of the mined area shown on the mine map indicating that the mine map was inaccurate. During the mitigation process, a secondary subsidence pit of smaller dimensions was found directly west of the original hole. Both holes were backfilled by the Abandoned Mine Lands program. Source: CGS, 2015 As a general rule of thumb, land subsidence occurrence can be expected where it has occurred in the past. For this reason, the County may benefit from developing a reporting system and database for tracking land subsidence events. 5.2.6.3 Inventory Exposed A structure may be at risk to the impacts of land subsidence if it is located over or close to an undermined area. Therefore, an important first step in determining exposure at a specific location is to determine if the area is undermined or near an area where underground mining took place. The map below identifies the locations within Weld County that have elevated potential for subsidence due to historical mining activity and development activity. Most of the undermined areas within Weld County that are vulnerable to subsidence are located in the south western portion of the county.

Summary of Structures and Critical Facilities in Areas at High Risk of Land Subsidence Count _ Total Assessor Building Value Structure/Parcels 6,009 $525,412,110 Critical Facilities 29 $28,067,056 The risk analysis indicates that Weld County has relatively high exposure to land subsidence, primarily because of the location of historically undermined areas in relation to urban development and population growth. Not only have there been previous land subsidence events reported in the county, CGS data of at -risk areas shows a number of areas of historical undermining in the county, many of which intersect with critical facilities, largely populated areas, and future development areas. 5.2.6.5 Probability of Future Occurrences Due to the lack of identified subsidence occurrences and uncertainty associated with existing data, it is challenging to calculate any type of probability for future events. It can be assured however, that subsidence will continue to slowly alter the landscape of Weld County going forward. In areas where climate change results in decreased precipitation in the summer months and reduced surface -water supplies, communities are often forced to pump more ground water to meet their needs. In Colorado, the major aquifers are composed primarily of compressed clay and silt, soil types that are prone to compact when ground -water is pumped. In the past, major land subsidence has occurred in agricultural settings where ground -water has been pumped for irrigation. It is probable that the eastern and south western region of Weld County will experience more frequent land subsidence hazards over time as a result of local climate change. It is important that Weld County consider future mitigation actions that will address this hazard, particularly in rapidly growing areas. 5.2.6.E Land Use and Development As the population of Weld County grows, there is a possibility that some development will encroach into identified subsidence hazard areas. These hazards include the potential for sagging ground, sinkholes, and the collapse of mine shafts that have not been adequately closed. Any of these hazards can cause damage to property, structures, transportation infrastructure, utility lines, and in some cases, can threaten human life. Only a few inches of differential settlement beneath a structure could cause many thousands of dollars of damage. It is important that subsidence risk data is considered in the designs and plans of future development proposals. RZ 148 � �,E INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT D •O N I RISD CST O A A ARD MIT N 5.2.7 Prairie Fire 5.2.7.1 Hazard ldentificotion Prairie Fires (also known as wildfires) are defined as unwanted or unplanned wildland fires. They include unauthorized human caused fires, escaped prescribed burn projects, and all other wildland fires where the objective is to put the fire out. Prairie fires are fueled by natural ground cover, including native and non-native species of trees, brush and grasses, and crops along with weather conditions and topography. While available fuel, topography, and weather provide the conditions that allow fires to spread, most fires are caused by people through criminal or accidental misuse of fire. ;. IV Prairie fires pose serious threats to human safety and property in Weld County. They can destroy crops, timber resources, recreation areas, and critical wildlife habitat. Prairie fires are commonly perceived as hazards in the western part of the state; however, they are a growing problem in the wildland-urban interfaces of eastern Colorado, including communities within Weld County. Prairie fire behavior is dictated in part by the quantity and quality of available fuels. Fuel quantity is the Figure 32. Prairie Fire near Weld County mass of material per unit area. Fuel quality is determined by a number of factors, including fuel density, chemistry, and arrangement. Arrangement influences the availability of oxygen surrounding the fuel source. Another important aspect of fuel quality is the total surface area of the material that is exposed to heat and air. Fuels with large area -to -volume ratios, such as grasses, leaves, bark and twigs, are easily ignited when dry. Climatic and meteorological conditions that influence prairie fires include solar insulation, atmospheric humidity, and precipitation, all of which determine the moisture content of wood and leaf litter. Dryspells, heat, low humidity, and wind increase the susceptibility of vegetation to fire. Additional natural agents can be responsible for igniting fires, including lightning, sparks generated by rocks rolling down a slope, friction produced by branches rubbing together in the wind, and spontaneous combustion. I 149 I N T E R N A T I O N A L EM[RGENCY MANACEM[NT Arson and accidents, including sparks from equipment and vehicles, can also cause prairie fire. Human - caused fires are typically worse than those caused by natural agents. Arson and accidental fires usually start along roads, trails, streams, or at dwellings that are generally on lower slopes or bottoms of hills and valleys. Nurtured by updrafts, these fires can spread quickly uphill. Arson fires are often set deliberately at times when factors such as wind, temperature, and dryness contribute to the spread of flames. HAZARD PROFILE Local impacts from prairie fire events include the following: • Loss of life (human, livestock, wildlife) • Coal seam or other energy facility ignitions • Damage to municipal watersheds • Loss of vegetation (erosion, loss of forage • Loss of property and habitat for livestock and wildlife) • Evacuations • Expense of responding (equipment, • Transportation interruption (closing personnel, supplies, etc.) highways) • Loss of revenue from destroyed recreation • Reductions in air quality and human health and tourism areas • Injuries — burns, smoke inhalation, etc. Predicting the intensity of a prairie fire, its rate of spread, and its duration are important for wildfire mitigation activity, response, and firefighter safety. Listed below are the three key factors affecting prairie fire behavior in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). Very often, however, the only factor that a community can have direct influence over is fuel. 1. Fuels: The type, density, and continuity of surrounding vegetation and, sometimes, flammable structures, that provide fuel to keep a wildfire burning. Fuels consist of combustible materials and vegetation (including grasses, leaves, ground litter, plants, shrubs, and trees) that feed a fire. 2. Weather: Relative humidity, wind, and temperatures all affect wildfire threat and behavior. 3. Topography: The steepness and aspect (direction) of slopes, as well as building -site locations, are features that affect fire behavior. Wildfires are often rated based on their ability of their fuels to ignite. Descriptions for the commonly used "Fire Danger Rating" system are listed below: • Low: Fuels do not ignite readily from small firebrands. However, an intense heat source, such as lightning, may start fires in duff or rotted wood. Fires in open grasslands may burn freely for a few hours after rain, but wood fires spread slowly by creeping or smoldering, and burn in irregular fingers. There is little danger of spotting. • Moderate: Fires can start from most accidental causes, with the exception of lightning. Fires in open grasslands will burn briskly and rapidly on windy days. Timber fires spread slowly to moderately fast. The average fire is of moderate intensity, although heavy concentrations of fuel may burn hot. Short -distance spotting may occur. Fires are not likely to become serious and control is relatively easy. I 150 - INTE:RNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WELD COUNTY 016 1910 B.TID URISDIGfION A HAZARDMITIGA I0 NIPPFAN • High: All fine dead fuels ignite readily and fires start easily from most causes. Unattended brush and campfires are likely to escape. Fires spread rapidly and short -distance spotting is common. High -intensity burning may develop on slopes or in concentrations of fine fuels. Fires may become serious and their control difficult unless they are attacked successfully while small. • Extreme/Very High: Fires start easily from all causes and immediately after ignition, spread rapidly and increase quickly in intensity. Spot fires are a constant danger. Fires burning in light fuels may quickly develop intensity characteristics such as long-distance spotting and fire whirlwinds when they burn into heavier fuels. For the purpose of prairie fire mitigation strategy development, this Plan divides the various land use types within Weld County into four categories: cultivated agricultural land, forested land, grazing land, and miscellaneous. Cultivated agricultural lands include both irrigated and non -irrigated crop land. Typically, this category of land has very dynamic burning characteristics and seasons. Crops and dormant stands located on Weld County's cultivated agricultural land can both serve as fuel for wildfires. What makes agricultural land unique is the dynamic nature of the fuel locations and seasons of availability. These factors add to the challenge of wildfire suppression and mitigation. In the context of the Weld County landscape, forested land includes the riparian forest, windbreaks, shelterbelts, living snow fences, and urban forests. Much of the forested land in Weld County occurs along rivers, seasonal water courses, lakes, and ponds. Other forested lands include farmsteads and urban areas. Here, trees are often planted near homes and outbuildings, which contribute to elevated wildfire risk. In addition to the trees, forested lands include a surface cover of dry brush and grasses, which are primary fuel sources for rapidly moving fires. Grazing lands are primarily made up of sandhill steppe and prairie landscapes. Sandhill steppe is a combination of mixed grasses and sage, and is widely used for livestock grazing. Fuel loads on grazing lands are moderate to heavy and large fires have occurred with this fuel type during springtime wind events. In some areas within Weld County livestock grazing maintains a rather sparse fuel load. Miscellaneous areas include transportation right of ways, fence lines, disturbed areas, and other locations that contain grasses, tumbleweeds, wild sunflowers, and other vegetation. Long-term regional weather patterns in Colorado have followed a cyclical pattern of wet years (characterized by average to high precipitation levels for the region), followed by a series of drought years (characterized by below average precipitation levels). During wet years, the typical fire season is from March through November. During drought years, the fire season in Colorado has been as long as a full year. Before discussing wildland fire risk in Weld County, a key wildfire management term must first be defined. The term "wildland-urban interface", or WUI, is widely used within the wildland fire management community to describe any area where manmade buildings are constructed close to or within a boundary of natural terrain and fuel, where high potential for wildland fires exist. Communities are able to establish the definition and boundary of their local WUI, and the boundaries often help in meeting local management needs. WUls can include both public and private land, and can help improve local access to funding sources. 151- �_ I N T E R N AT I O N A L l MANCY MAMWAM[NT WELD COUNTY 2016 MUL I-1URISDIC -NAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN "Wildfire Risk" represents the possibility of loss or harm occurring from a wildfire. For the purpose of this Plan, risk has been derived by combining "Wildfire Threat" and "Fire Effects." Fire Effects is comprised of several inputs that identify damaged assets. These inputs include the following: information on where people live (derived from 2012 LandScan data from Colorado), Colorado forest assets, riparian assets, and drinking water assets. The following Wildfire Risk map identifies areas with the greatest potential impacts from a prairie fire, in other words, those areas most at risk. The highest wildfire risk areas in the county are located in the west, in areas where there are higher population densities or concentrations of structures.

Map of Prairie Fire Risk EMERGENCT MANAGEMENT I N T E R N A T I O N A L As was discussed previously, understanding the location of people living in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) is essential for defining potential wildfire impacts to people and homes. The WUI Risk analysis provides a rating of the potential impact of a wildfire on people and their homes. The key input, the WUI, reflects housing density (houses per acre). To calculate WUI risk, WUI housing density data was combined with response function data. Response functions are a method of assigning a net change in the value of a resource or asset based on its susceptibility to fire at various intensity levels (such as flame length). The response functions were defined by a team of experts led by Colorado State Forest Service mitigation planning staff. By combining these data sets it is possible to determine where the greatest potential impact to homes and people are likely to occur in Weld County. The following Figure shows the various levels of WUI Risk within Weld County. The range of values is from -1 to -9, with -1 representing the least negative impacts and -9 representing the most negative impact. For example, areas with high housing density and high flame lengths are rated -9, while areas with low housing density and low flame lengths are rated -1. Understandably so, the Map of WUI Risk shows a number of high risk areas concentrated around densely populated parts of the county. Like the Wildfire Risk and Threat analyses, Wildland-Urban Interface Risk was calculated in the 2013 Colorado State Hazard Mitigation Plan using the same methodology. This allows for comparison and ordination to be made across the state. Wildfires can occur at any time of day and during any month of the year. Moreover, the length of a wildfire season and/or peak months may vary appreciably from year to year. As evidenced by the wildfire risk map, areas within Weld County that are characterized by dense development and single family homes along the wildland-urban interface are most vulnerable to wildfire. The jurisdictions with the highest WUI Risk index rating include areas of Erie, Hudson, Firestone, Frederick, Windsor, Greeley, and portions of unincorporated Weld County. =s r 154 - `.� INTERNATIONAL FMEAMMY MAMAGEMEW Wildland Urban Interface Risk Index Legend Wildland urban interface risk index measures Major Roads WUt Risk Index the potential impact on people and thier homes weld county - -9 from wildfire.

The probability of the County and its municipalities experiencing a wildfire associated with damages or loss can be difficult to quantify, but based on historical record of 81 wildfires since 1986 that have either caused damages to buildings and infrastructure or resulted in burned acreage, it can reasonably be assumed that a wildfire event has occurred in Weld County more than 2 times a year between 1986 and 2013. 5.2.7.2 Previous Occurrences Based on data provided by NOAA's NCDC Storm Events Database, there has been one prairie fire with reported damages in Weld County in recorded history.

The exposure data provided in the previous section (Inventory Assets Exposed) provides the clearest picture of potential losses to wildfire in Weld County. 5.2.7.5 Probability of Future Occurrences Recent wildfires and brush fires across Colorado have forced school closures, disrupted telephone services by burning fiber optic cables, damaged railroads and other infrastructure, and adversely affected tourism, outdoor recreation, and hunting. The likelihood of one of those fires attaining significant size and intensity is unpredictable and highly dependent on environmental conditions and firefighting response. Weather conditions, particularly drought events, increase the likelihood of wildfires occurring. That said, it is important to note that 98% of wildfires are human -caused. Ultimately, the occurrence of future wildfire events will strongly depend on patterns of human activity and events are more likely to occur in wildfire - prone areas experiencing new or additional development. 5.2.7.6 Land Use and Development Future development is an important factor to consider in the context of wildfire mitigation because development and population growth can contribute to increased exposure of people and property to wildfire. During the past few decades, population growth in the Weld County WUI has increased greatly. Subdivisions and other high -density developments have created a situation where wildland fires can involve more buildings than any amount of fire equipment can possibly protect. As development in Weld County expands into wildland areas, people and property are increasingly at risk. By identifying areas with significant potential for population growth and/or future development in high - risk areas, communities can identify areas of mitigation interest and reduce hazard risks associated with increased exposure. Wildfire mitigation in the wildland-urban interface has primarily been the responsibility of property owners who choose to build and live in vulnerable zones. In practice, successful wildfire mitigation strategies can be quite involved. The most important aspect of successful suppression is disruption of the continuity of fuels, achieved by creating breaks or defensible areas. For interface fires, where homes and other structures fill the space, fuel reduction is best accomplished before the fires begin. Safety zones can be created around structures by reducing or eliminating brush, trees, and vegetation around a home or facility. FEMA recommends using a 30-foot safety zone; including keeping grass below 2 feet tall and clearing all fallen leaves and branches promptly. Additionally, only fire-resistant or non- combustible materials should be used on roofs and exterior surfaces. Firebreaks -- areas of inflammable materials that create a fuel break and reduce the ability for fires to spread over roads and pathways -- can be planned and designed to serve as wildfire mitigation.

There are several contagious and infectious diseases present in the Denver Metro Region that constitute a public health risk. Emergency Support Function 8 (ESF 8) of the State Emergency Operations Plan provides an organizational framework for public health and medical service preparedness, response, and recovery efforts for various emergency epidemics. During the 2016 planning process, pandemic flu was identified as the key public health hazard in the county. This hazard risk assessment includes an analysis of pandemic flu risk in Weld County and an analysis of the impacts of the hazards profiled in this plan on public health. A pandemic can be defined as a disease that attacks a large population across great geographic distances. Pandemics are larger than epidemics in terms of geographic area and number of people affected. Epidemics tend to occur seasonally and affect much smaller areas. Pandemics, on the other hand, are most often caused by new subtypes of viruses or bacteria for which humans have little or no natural resistance. Consequently, pandemics typically result in more deaths, social disruption, and economic loss than epidemics. According to data from the Colorado Reportable Disease Statistics (CDPHE) database, Influenza viruses represent the most common cause of hospitalization due to disease in Weld County. Seasonal influenza (often referred to as the flu) is a common infection that affects large numbers of people in Colorado every year. Influenza is an acute respiratory disease caused by influenza type A or 8 viruses. The typical features of seasonal influenza include abrupt onset of fever and respiratory symptoms such as cough, sore throat, as well as headache, muscle ache, and fatigue. For seasonal influenza, the incubation period ranges from 1 to 4 days and the clinical severity of infection can range from asymptomatic infection to primary viral pneumonia and death. Most people experience influenza as a very -uncomfortable but ultimately benign illness. However, the influenza virus can mutate, causing it to be much more dangerous to humans. Yearly seasonal influenza remains a significant disease in the U.S. and Colorado, and seasonal epidemics can result in high morbidity and mortality, as well as create strains on the health care system and communities. Unlike influenza viruses that have achieved ongoing transmission in humans, the sporadic human infections with avian A (H5N1) viruses are far more severe with high mortality. Initial symptoms include high fever and other influenza -like symptoms. It also appears that the incubation period in humans may be longer for avian (H5N1) viruses, ranging from 2 to 8 days, and possibly as long as 17 days. Diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, chest pain, and bleeding from the nose and gums have also been reported. The I 159 - tt _ �...rti� I N T E R N A T I O N A L eME=fF %&*AAWMIMT disease often manifests as a rapid progression of pneumonia with respiratory failure ensuing over several days. With the increase in global transport, as well as urbanization, epidemics due to new influenza viruses are likely to occur in and around Weld County. A new flu virus, which eventually became known as H1N1, came to the world's attention in March 2009. The symptoms of pandemic H1N1 2009 influenza were similar to those of seasonal influenza. Illness in most cases was mild but there were cases of severe disease requiring hospitalization and a number of deaths. The initial experience with the emerging pandemic of H1N1 prompted the World Health Organization (WHO) to redefine their phase descriptions for an influenza pandemic. The six -phase approach was designed for the easy incorporation of recommendations into existing national and local preparedness and response plans. Phases 1-3 correlate with preparedness in the pre - pandemic interval, including capacity development and response planning activities, while Phases 4-6 signal the need for response and mitigation efforts during the pandemic interval. Pre -Pandemic Interval In nature, influenza viruses circulate continuously among animals (primarily birds). Even though such viruses might develop into pandemic viruses, in Phase 1 no viruses circulating among animals have been reported to cause infections in humans. • Phase 1 is the natural state in which influenza viruses circulate continuously among animals but do not affect humans. In Phase 2 an animal influenza virus circulating among domesticated or wild animals is known to have caused infection in humans, and is thus considered a potential pandemic threat. • Phase 2 involves cases of animal influenza that have circulated among domesticated or wild animals and have caused specific cases of infection among humans. In Phase 3 an animal or human -animal influenza virus has caused sporadic cases or small clusters of disease in people, but has not resulted in human -to -human transmission sufficient to sustain community - level outbreaks. Limited human -to -human transmission may occur under some circumstances, for examples, when there is close contact between an infected person and an unprotected caregiver. Limited transmission under these circumstances does not indicate that the virus has gained the level of transmissibility among humans necessary to cause a pandemic. • Phase 3 represents the mutation of the animal influenza virus in humans so that it can be transmitted to other humans under certain circumstances (usually very close contact between individuals). At this point, small clusters of infection have occurred. Pandemic Interval Phase 4 is characterized by verified human to human transmission of the virus able to cause "community - level outbreaks." The ability to cause sustained disease outbreaks in a community marks a significant upward shift in the risk for a pandemic. 160 Michael Baker INTERNATIONAL EMERGE"CY MMAGEMFME WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI-JORISDIQTIONA HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN • Phase 4 involves community -wide outbreaks as the virus continues to mutate and become more easily transmitted between people (for example, transmission through the air) Phase 5 is characterized by verified human to human spread of the virus into at least two countries in one World Health Organization (WHO) region. While most countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication, and implementation of the planned mitigation measures is short. • Phase 5 represents human -to -human transmission of the virus in at least two countries Phase 6, the pandemic phase, is characterized by community -level outbreaks in at least one other country in a different WHO region in addition to the criteria defined in Phase 5. Designation of this phase will indicate that a global pandemic is underway. • Phase 6 is the pandemic phase, characterized by community -level influenza outbreaks. Zoonotic Diseases Zoonotic diseases are diseases that can be spread through animals and humans. These diseases can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that are carried by animals and insects. 5.2.8.2 Previous Occurrences Public health hazards can manifest as primary events by themselves, or they may be secondary to another disaster or emergency, such as a flood, a severe storm, or a hazardous materials incident. The common characteristic of most public health emergencies is that they adversely impact, or have the potential to adversely impact, a large number of people. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment releases an annual reportable disease summary for each county. The events with the highest incidences in Weld County between 2010 and 2014 are summarized in the table below. Table 49.

Based on local demographic data, the tool allows communities to estimate the potential number of days lost from work due to a pandemic. Users of FluWorkLoss can change input values, such as the number of workdays lost due to a worker staying come to care for a family member. Users can also change the length and virulence ofthe pandemic so that a range of possible impacts can be estimated. Days missed from work cost both employees (in lost wages) and employers (in work not completed). The following table shows the total estimated number of days lost from work in Weld County due to a four- 163 r- - r�. INTERNATIONAL TMl/MKL 0AAMAW IJOT WELD CO_U_NTy 2016 MULFTI-JOR15DICCfIONAL HA A R XrPITIGATION PLAN week long influenza pandemic with a 25% clinical attack rate. The available workdays are calculated as a product of the total population in the working age group (Census 2010), the employment rate of Weld County (Census 2010), and the number of workdays in a week (5). Table 51. Total Workdays Lost Scenario Workdays Lost Most Likely Scenario 101,558 Minimum Loss Scenario 86,341 Maximum Loss Scenario 124,609 Source: FluWorkLoss 1.0, CDC The number of workdays lost includes the workdays lost for both self -care and care of sick family members due to the pandemic. Although the workdays lost do not include those lost due to factors such as fear and school closings, the model does provide a general picture of the impact on the productivity of the local economy due to an influenza pandemic. Results are estimated to create three scenarios of pandemic impact: the minimum (the best case scenario), which estimates the fewest possible number of hospitalizations/outpatient visits/deaths (i.e., the fewest possible days lost from work); the mean (the most likely scenario); and the maximum (the worst case scenario), which estimates the largest number of hospitalizations/outpatient visits/deaths (i.e., the largest possible number of days lost from work). The following graph shows the proportion of workdays lost for each day of the modeled influenza outbreak for the three loss scenarios. Again, the scenario assumes a four -week long pandemic with a 25% clinical attack rate.

Proportion of Workdays Lost due to Pandemic Influenza The numbers and projections generated through FluWorkLoss are not considered predictions of what will happen during an influenza pandemic. Rather, the results should be treated as estimates of what could happen. 5.2.8.5 Probability of Future Occurrences Climate change threatens to increase the spread of infectious diseases because changing heat, rain, and humidity levels allow disease carrying vectors and pathogens to come into closer contact with humans. Climate change has the potential to expand the habitats and infectivity of disease -carrying insects and rodents, thus increasing the risk of disease transmission. For example, mosquitoes capable of transmitting West Nile virus are already present in Colorado. If Colorado's climate becomes warmer, mosquito populations could swell, making the region more favorable for disease transmission. Hantavirus is another infectious disease that may pose a higher risk to Weld County residents in the future. Deer mice are the primary reservoir for Hantaviruses and climate change (warmer weather) plays a role in elevated seasonal deer mouse populations. Based on historical record of 2,749 recorded diseases in Weld County since 2010, public health hazards have affected Weld County residents and visitors more than once every year from 2010 through 2014. The historic frequency suggests that there is a 100% chance of some type of public health hazard will affect Weld County every year. 1 16SAi IN7ERNAI10NAL EM[y AMYA AGCUEMT WELD COUNTY 2016 MUL MURISDIC•TIONA HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN 5.2.8.6 Land Use and Development Future development in and around Weld County has the potential to change how infectious diseases spread through the community and impact human health in both the short and long term. New development may increase the number of people and facilities exposed to public health hazards and greater population concentrations (often found in special needs facilities and businesses) put more people at risk. During a disease outbreak those in the immediate isolation area would have little to no warning, whereas, the population further away in the dispersion path may have some time to prepare and mitigate against disease depending on the hazard, its transmission, and public notification. Due to the nature of public health hazards, jurisdictions within Weld County with higher numbers of vulnerable individuals are expected to be impacted to a greater extent than others. In the context of public health hazards, the most vulnerable members of the Weld County community are: • The elderly (people over 65 years of age) • Children (under 5 years old) • The infirm The following table highlights a number of key pandemic vulnerability factors in Weld County jurisdictions. Table 52.

In these communities, the spread of a highly destructive livestock disease or plant pest/disease could have devastating consequences to the local economy and environment. Early detection and a rapid response to a pest or disease infestation are critical to limiting the economic, social, and environmental impacts of such an incident. One of the key responsibilities of the Animal Health Division, a branch of the Colorado Department of Agriculture, is to prepare for, control, and mitigate livestock disease outbreaks. The division has a number of preparedness and response plans for the various livestock sectors in Colorado. I 167 INTERNATIONAL EM[AUNCT MAKAGCMEMY WELD COUNTY 2016 MUL 1-JURISDIGTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN 5.2.9 Severe Storm (Including Hail, Lightning & Winter Storm) 5.2.9.1 Hazard Identification Severe storms can occur during any season in Weld County. Lightning strikes can all be hazardous under the right conditions and locations. Large hail can damage crops, dent vehicles, break windows, and injure or kill livestock, pets, and people. Snow storms can take down trees and damage property and infrastructure. Thunderstorms affect relatively small areas when compared with the size of typical winter storms. Despite their small size, all thunderstorms are dangerous. The typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 30 minutes. Of the estimated 100,000 thunderstorms that occur each year in the United States, about 10 percent are classified as severe. The National Weather Service considers a thunderstorm severe if it produces hail at least 3/4 inch in diameter, winds of 58 MPH or stronger, or a tornado. Every thunderstorm needs three basic components: (1) moisture to form clouds and rain, (2) unstable air which is warm air that rises rapidly, and (3) lift, which is a cold or warm front capable of lifting air to help form thunderstorms. Lightning, although not considered severe by the National Weather Service definition, can accompany heavy rain during thunderstorms. Lightning develops when ice particles in a cloud collide with other particles. These collisions cause a separation of electrical charges. Positively charged ice particles rise to the top of the cloud and negatively charged ones fall to the middle and lower sections of the cloud. The negative charges at the base of the cloud attract positive charges at the surface of the Earth. Invisible to the human eye, the negatively charged area of the cloud sends a charge called a stepped leader toward the ground. Once it gets close enough, a channel develops between the cloud and the ground. Lightning is the electrical transfer through this channel. The channel rapidly heats to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit and contains approximately 100 million electrical volts. The rapid expansion of the heated air causes thunder. The following Figure depicts average cloud -to -ground lightning incidence in the US (or lightning flash densities) between 1997 and 2012. _s I 158 INTERNATIONAL [MMANCT MAKAGfMCRT WELD COUNTY 2016 M0OTI-JURISDIUFIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Figure 37. Average Lightning Flash Density in the U.S."' Although the state of Colorado ranks 32"d in terms of its cloud -to -ground lightning flash densities between 1997-2012, the state ranks 2"d in the country in terms of death rate from lightning per million people (between 2003 - 2012). Colorado's lightning death rate per million people from 2003-2012 is 0.51, second only to the state of Wyoming. The following figure shows lightning flash densities for the State of Colorado for the years 1994 through 2014. Produced by National Weather Service, using data from Vaisala, the image is the result of contouring over 8 million cloud -to -ground lightning flashes for the State of Colorado and averaging annually. The result of the analysis is a picture of average lightning flashes/km' per year from 1994 through 2014 (the year 2000 was not included in the dataset). 14 Source:.http://www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov/statistics.htm r I 169 .- :. - , I W-1.

Colorado Lightning Flash Density Map In general, the flash density map shows a wide range of values across the State of Colorado, ranging from less than 0.5 flashes/year/km' over the south central portion of the state to over 6.5 flashes/year/kmz over the east central part of the state. The higher density of lightning flashes located in the central area of the state is driven by the topography of the area. Where the higher terrain of the Plains intersects with the Rocky Mountains conditions are ripe for lightning events. Here, moist air from lower altitudes initiates and sustains convection systems as they move off of the mountain slopes, generating thunderstorms. Hail is precipitation that is formed when updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere. The super cooled raindrops grow into balls of ice, which pose a hazard to property, people, livestock, and crops when they fall back to the earth. Severe winter weather can cause hazardous driving conditions, communications and electrical power failure, community isolation, and can adversely affect business continuity. This type of snow -related weather may include one or more of the following winter factors: Winter storms can include blizzards, heavy snow, ice storms, and extreme cold. Blizzards as defined by the National Weather Service, are a combination of sustained winds or frequent gusts of 35 mph or greater and visibilities of less than a quarter mile from falling or blowing snow for 3 hours or more. A blizzard, by definition, does not indicate heavy amounts of snow, although they can happen together. The falling or blowing snow usually creates large drifts from the strong winds. The reduced visibilities make travel, even on foot, particularly treacherous. The strong winds may also support dangerous wind chills. Ground blizzards can develop when strong winds lift snow off the ground and severely reduce visibilities. ' I 170 fIw, INTEAiVAT10HAL FMEAGEN[YM AGEM[NT WELD COUNTY 2016 MUL+TI-JURISDIGTIQNAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Heavy snow, in large quantities, may fall during winter storms. Six inches or more in 12 hours or eight inches or more in 24 hours constitutes conditions that may significantly hampertravel or create hazardous conditions. The National Weather Service issues warnings for such events. Smaller amounts can also make travel hazardous, but in most cases, only results in minor inconveniences. Heavy wet snow before the leaves fall from the trees in the fall or after the trees have leafed out in the spring may cause problems with broken tree branches and power outages. Ice storms develop when a layer of warm (above freezing), moist air aloft coincides with a shallow cold (below freezing) pool of air at the surface. As snow falls into the warm layer of air, it melts to rain, and then freezes on contact when hitting the frozen ground or cold objects at the surface, creating a smooth layer of ice. This phenomenon is called freezing rain. Similarly, sleet occurs when the rain in the warm layer subsequently freezes into pellets while falling through a cold layer of air at or near the Earth's surface. Extended periods of freezing rain can lead to accumulations of ice on roadways, walkways, power lines, trees, and buildings. Almost any accumulation can make driving and walking hazardous. Thick accumulations can bring down trees and power lines. Extreme Cold, in extended periods, although infrequent, could occur throughout the winter months in Weld County. Heating systems compensate for the cold outside. Most people limit their time outside during extreme cold conditions, but common complaints usually include pipes freezing and cars refusing to start. When cold temperatures and wind combine, dangerous wind chills can develop. Additional information pertaining to extreme cold can be found in the Extreme Temperatures section of the Plan. 5.2.9.2 Previous Occurrences Hail According to the best available data there are no reported injuries, deaths, or crop damage in Weld County due to hail.

This includes 57,180 people, or 100% of the County's population, and all buildings and infrastructure within the County. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the County's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from I 175 - I N T@ RNATIO MAL IMIIIQMR MAPMOMINT hail but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. 5.2.9.4 Potential Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of Weld County and its jurisdictions including all above- ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for Weld County. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. 5.2.9.5 Probability of Future Occurrences Severe winter storms can be predicted with a reasonable level of uncertainty. Through the identification of various indicators of weather systems, and by tracking these indicators, warning time for snow storms can be as much as a week in advance. Understanding the historical frequency, duration, and spatial extent of severe winter weather assists in determining the likelihood and potential severity of future occurrences. The characteristics of past severe winter events provide benchmarks for projecting similar conditions into the future. The probability that Weld County will experience a severe winter storm event can be difficult to quantify. However, based on historical records and frequencies there is nearly a 100% chance this type of event will occur somewhere in Weld County at least once every year. 5.2.9.6 Land Use and Development All future structures built in Weld County will likely be exposed to severe weather extremes and damage. Since the previous statement is assumed to be uniform countywide, the location of development does not increase or reduce the risk necessarily. Weld County and its jurisdictions must adhere to building codes, and therefore, new development can be built to current standards to account for adverse weather. Additionally, as homes go up in more remote parts of the county, accessing those rural residents may become impossible should sheltering or emergency services be needed in an extreme event. • Aw EM[RGEN[1' MANAGEMENT WE CTX2aNTY 2016 MUL I -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN 5.2.10 Straight -Line Winds & Tornadoes SPATIAL WARNING RF NATURAL HAZARDS PROBABILITY IMPACT DURATION EXTENT TIME RATING Straight -Line Winds 0.975 0.800 0.750 0.392 0.167 3.083 &Tornadoes 5.2.10.1 Hazard identification Tornadoes in Colorado are most often generated by thunderstorm activity when cool, dry air intersects and overrides a layer of warm, moist air forcing the warm air to rise rapidly. The damage caused by a tornado is a result of high wind velocities and wind-blown debris. According to the National Weather Service, tornado wind speeds can range between 30 to more than 300 miles per hour. They are more likely to occur during the spring and early summer months of March through June and are most likely to form in the late afternoon and early evening. Most tornadoes are a few dozen yards wide and touchdown briefly, but even small, short-lived tornadoes can inflict tremendous damage. Destruction ranges from minor to catastrophic depending on the intensity, size, and duration of the storm. Structures made of light materials such as mobile homes are most susceptible to damage. Each year, an average of over eight hundred tornadoes is reported nationwide, resulting in an average of eighty deaths and fifteen hundred injuries (NOAA, 2002). The majority of Colorado tornadoes occur in the eastern plains, including large areas of Weld County. Tornadoes were previously classified by their intensity using the Fujita (F) Scale, with FO being the least intense and F6 being the most intense. The Fujita Scale (seen in the table below) is used to rate the intensity of a tornado by examining the damage caused by the tornado after it has passed over a man- made structure.

If this tornado level is ever achieved, evidence for it might only be found in some manner of ground swirl pattern, for it may never be identifiable through engineering studies On February 1, 2007, the Fujita scale was decommissioned in favor of the more accurate Enhanced Fujita Scale (aka the EF Scale). The EF-Scale measures tornado strength and associated damages and classifies 15 Information provided by NOAA at http://www.spc.noaa.gov/faa/tornado/f-scale.htmi I 178 - ? INTERNATIONAL EMERGEMY MANAGTMENT D COUNTY 2016 MULTI-JURISDIGiIONAL HA ARD MITIGATION PLAN WEL tornadoes into six intensity categories, as shown in the following table. The scale was revised to reflect better examinations of tornado damage surveys, so as to align wind speeds more closely with associated storm damage. The new scale takes into account how most structures are designed, and is thought to be a much more accurate representation of the surface wind speeds in the most violent tornadoes. Table 57.

These winds typically develop with strong pressure gradients and gusty frontal passages. The closer and stronger two systems (one high pressure, one low pressure) are, the stronger the pressure gradient, and therefore, the stronger the winds are. Although severe wind events often garner less attention in the local media than tornadoes do, damaging straight line winds (or downbursts) can injure and !till animals and humans. Straight-line winds, which can cause more widespread damage than a tornado, occur when air is carried into a storm's updraft, cools rapidly, and comes rushing to the ground. Cold air is denser than warm air, and therefore, wants to fall to the surface. On warm summer days, when the cold air can no longer be supported up by the storm's updraft, or when an exceptional downdraft develops, the air crashes to the ground in the form of strong winds. These winds are forced horizontally when they reach the ground and can cause significant damage. These types of strong winds can also be referred to as straight-line winds. Downbursts with a diameter of less than 2.5 miles are called microbursts and those with a diameter of 2.5 miles or greater are called macrobursts. A "derecho" is a series of down bursts associated with a line of thunderstorms. 5.2.10.2 Previous Occurrences Colorado, lying just west of "tornado alley," is fortunate to experience less frequent and intense tornadoes than its neighboring states to the east. However, tornadoes remain a significant hazard in the region. Tornadoes are the most intense storm on earth having been recorded at velocities exceeding 315 mph. The phenomena results in a destructive rotating column of air ranging in diameter from a few yards to greater than a mile, usually associated with a downward extension of cumulonimbus clouds. I 182 t - - ov IN7ERNA710NAL IMMANCY MANAGEMENT WELD COUNTY 2016 MUL4TI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN All portions of Weld County have the potential to be affected by tornadoes. Historically, tornadoes have been relatively small on the EF Scale but F1 tornadoes can still produce dangerous winds up to 112mph. High winds can cause damage to buildings (tearing shingles from roofs, tearing awnings, collapsing structures, etc.). The following Table summarizes tornado history and damage data for Weld County from 1950 — 2014 collected by the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Over that time, NOAA's damage reporting methodologies have evolved. Prior to 1996, estimates of property damage from tornadoes were categorized within the NOAA database by ranges of dollar amounts (0 = unknown; 1< $50, 2 = $50 - $500; 3 = $500 - $5,000; 4 = $5,000 - $50,000; 5 = $50,000 - $500,000; 6 = $500,000 - $5,000,000; 7 = $5,000,000 - $50,000,000; 8 = $50,000,000 - $500,000,000; 9 = $5,000,000,000). From 1996 on, tornado damages were recorded in millions of dollars. A damage value of 0.0 meant damages were under $100,000. Starting in 2007, estimated crop damages were recorded in millions of dollars. In NOAA's database a damage value of 0.0 means that damages were under $100,000. Table 62.

Weld County— Historical High Wind Events I 198 ha— [M[AGfFJCT M AGZMEW 5.2.10.3 Inventory Exposed Inventory assets exposed to severe wind is dependent on the age of the building, type, construction material used, and condition of the structure. Possible losses to critical infrastructure include: • Electric power disruption • Communication disruption • Water and fuel shortages • Road closures • Damaged infrastructure components, such as sewer lift stations and treatment plants • Damage to homes, structures, and shelters All assets located in Weld County can be considered at risk from severe wind and tornadoes. This includes 252,825 people, or 100% of the County's population and all buildings and infrastructure within the County.19 Most structures, including the county's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. 5.2.10.4 Potential Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, countywide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to historical property damage and injuries/deaths. Over the last 65 years there has been 1 death reported in Weld County due to a tornado event and no deaths due to severe wind. During the same time period, there have been 92 reported injuries from tornadoes and 14 reported injuries from severe wind. Monetary losses to property and crops are largely unknown. 5.2.10.5 Probability of Future Occurrences Reported tornadoes over the past forty nine years provide an acceptable framework for determining the future occurrence in terms of frequency for such events. The probability of the County and its municipalities experiencing a tornado associated with damages or injuries can be difficult to quantify, but based on historical record of sixty four tornadoes since 1964 that have either caused damages to buildings and infrastructure or resulted in an injury or death, it can reasonably be assumed that this type of event has occurred once a year between 1964 and 2013. Historic tornado frequencies suggest that there is roughly a 100% chance of this type of event occurring somewhere within the county boundaries each year. Similarly, reported straight-line wind events over the past forty nine years provide an acceptable framework for determining the future occurrence in terms of event. The probability of Weld County and its municipalities experiencing a severe wind event associated with damages or injuries can be difficult to 112010 Census 199 - 91 INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY M ALIMENT quantify, but based on historical record of 1.36 severe wind events since 1964, there is a high chance of this type of event occurring each year. 5.2.10.6 Land Use and Development All future structures built in Weld County will likely be exposed to severe wind and tornado damage. As with other large extent hazards, increased development trends within Planning Reserve Areas and along the 1-76 and 1-25 corridors will increase the vulnerability of these areas. Weld County and its jurisdictions must continue to adhere to building codes and to facilitate new development that is built to the highest design standards to account for heavy winds. Due to the nature of tornadoes and severe wind events, not all jurisdictions within Weld County are expected to be impacted equally. For example, older homes, which are often subject to less advanced building codes, suffer increased vulnerability to wind and tornadoes over time. Mobile homes, which are most often occupied by low-income, socially vulnerable residents, are the most dangerous places during a windstorm or tornado. Studies indicate that 45%of all fatalities during tornadoes occur in mobile homes, compared to 26% in traditional site -built homes.20 As communities across Weld County continue to grow, it is important that local agencies monitor the inventory and locations of mobile homes, particularly in areas of high tornado risk. Moreover, when discussing mitigation actions for straight-line winds and tornadoes, communities or geographic locations with large numbers of mobile homes deserve added attention. 20 Ashley, W.S., A.J. Krmenec, and R. Schwantes, 2008: Vulnerability due to nocturnal tornadoes. Weather and Forecasting, 23, 795 — 807. _1& 200 .- INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY M AGEMIPA t 6 Mitigation Strategy This section of the Plan provides the blueprint for Weld County and its participating jurisdictions to become less vulnerable to natural hazards. The goals, objectives, and strategies are based on the general consensus of the Weld County HMPC and local stakeholder feedback, along with the findings of the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment. This section consists of the following subsections: • INTRODUCTION • GOALS AND OBJECTIVES SUMMARY • 2009 HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN ACTION REPORT • 2016 HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN ACTION REPORT 6.1 Introduction The intent of the Mitigation Strategy is to provide Weld County and participating jurisdictions with the goals that will serve as the guiding principles for future mitigation policy and project administration, along with a list of proposed actions deemed necessary to meet those goals and reduce the impact of natural hazards. It is designed to be comprehensive and strategic in nature. The development of the strategy included a thorough review of natural hazards and identified policies and projects intended to not only reduce the future impacts of hazards, but also to help Weld County and participating jurisdictions achieve compatible economic, environmental, and social goals. The development of this section is also intended to be strategic, in that all policies and projects are linked to establish priorities assigned to specific departments or individuals responsible for their implementation. Potential funding sources are identified when possible and identified projects were assumed to be realistically achievable over the corning five years. • Mitigation goals are general guidelines that explain what the county wants to achieve. Goals are usually expressed as broad policy statements representing desired long-term results. • Mitigation objectives describe strategies or implementation steps to attain the identified goals. Objectives are more specific statements than goals; the described steps are usually measurable and can have a defined completion date. • Mitigation Actions provide more detailed descriptions of specific work tasks to help the county and its municipalities achieve prescribed goals and objectives. Based on participation from the Weld County HMPC, the mitigation strategy from the 2009 Northeast Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan has been modified and updated. Objectives were clarified to better document roles and responsibilities. Previously identified actions were updated and new actions have been added to address particular hazards facing Weld County and its local jurisdictions. In order to prioritize the mitigation actions in this plan, the County and each participating jurisdiction referred to FEMA's STAPLEE methodology as a guide. The STAPLEE approach allows for a careful review of the feasibility of mitigation actions by using seven criteria. The criteria are described below: • S - Social • T - Technical • A -Administrative I 201 - ICU, � INTERNATIONAL IMlWAWC M%NACEMIMT • P - Political • L -Legal • E -Economic • E - Environmental FEMA mitigation planning requirements indicate that any prioritization system used shall include a special emphasis on the extent to which benefits are maximized according to a cost -benefit review of the proposed projects. To do this in an efficient manner that is consistent with FEMA's guidance on using cost - benefit review in mitigation planning, the STAPLEE method was adapted to include a higher weighting (xi.5) for the economic feasibility factor -- Cost Effective. This method incorporates concepts similar to those described in Method C of FEMA 386-5: Using Benefit Cost Review in Mitigation Planning (FEMA, 2007). In order to ensure that a broad range of mitigation actions were considered for the Mitigation Strategy, the Weld County HMPC analyzed a comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions for each hazard after the risk assessment was complete. This helped to ensure that there was sufficient span and creativity in the mitigation actions considered. There are six categories of mitigation actions which Weld County considered in developing its mitigation action plan. Those categories include: • Prevention: Government administrative or regulatory actions or processes that influence the way land and buildings are developed and built. These actions also include public activities to reduce hazard losses. Examples include planning, zoning, building codes, subdivision regulations, hazard specific regulations (such as floodplain regulations), capital improvement programs, and open - space preservation and stormwater regulations. • Property Protection: Actions that involve modifying or removing existing buildings or infrastructure to protect them from a hazard. Examples include the acquisition, elevation and relocation of structures, structural retrofits, flood -proofing, storm shutters, and shatter resistant glass. This category also includes insurance. • Public Education and Awareness: Actions to inform and educate citizens, elected officials, and property owners about potential risks from hazards and potential ways to mitigate them. Such actions include hazard mapping, outreach projects, library materials dissemination, real estate disclosures, the creation of hazard information centers, and school age / adult education programs. • Natural Resource Protection: Actions that in addition to minimizing hazard losses also preserve or restore the functions of natural systems. These actions include sediment and erosion control, stream corridor restoration, forest and vegetation management, wetlands restoration or preservation, slope stabilization, and historic property and archeological site preservation. • Structural Project Implementation: Mitigation projects intended to lessen the impact of a hazard by using structures to modify the environment. Structures include stormwater controls (culverts); dams, dikes, and levees; and safe rooms. • Emergency Services: Actions that typically are not considered mitigation techniques but reduce the impacts of a hazard event on people and property. These actions are often taken prior to, I 202 - R' INTERNATIONAL ASAE1KAKM M/MU WelIT WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI-JURISDIC•TIONAL HA RD MITIGATION PLAN during, or in response to an emergency or disaster. Examples include warning systems, evacuation planning and management, emergency response training and exercises, and emergency flood protection procedures. 6.2 Goals and Objectives Summary The following table provides an update summary of the goals identified within the 2009 Northeast Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan and of how they were incorporated into the 2016 Weld County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Table 64.

Reduce loss of life, property 3 damages, and economic impacts X from hazards. 4 Increase public awareness of X potential hazard losses. Mitigation Goals are general guidelines that explain what a community wants to achieve with their local hazard mitigation plan. Goals are overarching targets and describe the ideal long-term outcomes envisioned by the community. For the 2016 Plan, Weld County and the local jurisdictions participating in the hazard mitigation plan update identified the following four mitigation goals as the foundation of their local mitigation strategies: • GOAL 1: Reduce loss of life, property damages and economic impacts from disasters • GOAL 2: Improve the County's and local jurisdictions' capabilities to reduce disaster losses • GOAL 3: Increase community resilience through community engagement and preparedness education • GOAL 4: Position Weld County communities to maintain eligibility for FEMA and other federal mitigation funding through active participation in mitigation planning More specific than Goals, Mitigation Objectives are the fundamental strategies prescribed by the Plan to achieve the identified Goals. In other words, Objectives describe the "how" of the mitigation strategy. In the 2016 Plan, Weld County and the local jurisdictions participating in the hazard mitigation plan update identified the following five mitigation objectives: • OBJECTIVE 1: Continue to develop and expand community preparedness education and resilience programs "'w:epsa- I 203 INTERNATIONAL [M[IIGLtiC' iWING['FNf WELD COUNTY 2016 MUL+ I-JURISDICfIONA HA ARD:MITIGATION PLAN • OBJECTIVE 2: Enhance training for hazard prevention and mitigation options • OBJECTIVE 3: Incorporate risk reduction principles into policy documents and initiatives as well as other institutional plans • OBJECTIVE 4: Continue to collaborate with area partners through mutual aid agreements and long-term planning efforts • OBJECTIVE 5: Reduce the vulnerability of local assets to the impacts of hazards. In order to maintain continuity within the local mitigation strategy, each mitigation objective is associated with one or more mitigation goals (as is shown in the following table). This helps communities stay on track during the development of the mitigation strategy and focus their planning efforts around clear priorities. Together, the goals and objectives identified during the Weld County mitigation strategy meeting and refined over the course of the planning process established the scope and focus of the proposed mitigation actions outlined in this Plan. The following table provides a summary of the updated and/or revised mitigation goals for the 2016 Plan. It also outlines the planning objectives identified by the HMPC for each goal and identifies whether the Goal is new to Weld County or was previously identified in the 2009 Northeast Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Weld County OEM will develop a new mitigation action focused on studying disaster resilience in communities throughout Weld County in order to better understand how to develop the preparedness program. PRIORITY: HIGH LOCATION: Countywide RECOMMENDATION DATE: 2004 TARGET COMPLETION DATE: 2009 ISSUE: In floodplains there is a known risk. Not having critical facilities protected against such risks can severely handicap a community's ability to respond and recover from a flood. Potential losses should be estimated for the failure of each critical facility. Then a cost estimate should be calculated for the favored method of protection. Then a benefit -cost comparison will indicate whether or not the facility is worth protecting. RECOMMENDATION: The potential for saving just one life, and providing time for individuals and businesses to take effective protective actions, outweighs the potential cost of the public education program. Public Education may be the most effective and least -expensive way to reduce disaster losses by changing human behavior to promote appropriate actions ACTION: Each incorporated community with a mapped floodplain should inventory critical facilities within the floodplain to determine if they should be protected. Facilities would include power substations, water sources such as wellheads, sewage treatment facilities, police and fire stations, hospitals, and nursing homes.

Critical facilities that are at risk from flooding are shown in Tables 8 and 9 and on the maps in Figures 2 and 3. The Town of Hudson has learned through the review of existing flood plain maps that the Town limits were not affected by an existing flood plain. However; recent land annexations may have one property within a flood plain, but there is no anticipated development of that area at this time.

PRIORITY: High LOCATION: Weld County RECOMMENDATION DATE: 2009 TARGET COMPLETION DATE: Completion by December 2010 ISSUE: Over the last three years Weld County has had several Wildland fires in the South and Eastern Jill part of the county. In July 2009 Gov. Ritter signed into law SB09-001 The establishment of Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP). This law requires each county to develop a CWPP.

Weld County is not an EFF county, and SB09-001 requires EFF counties to have a CWPP. For wildfire planning purposes, Weld County works with our fire departments, fire protection districts and the Colorado Division of Fire Safety to prepare an annual operating plan (AOP) for wildfire each year. PRIORITY: Medium LOCATION: Weld County RECOMMENDATION DATE: 2009 TARGET COMPLETION DATE: Ongoing ISSUE: As participants in the NFIP the County will continue to promote wise use of floodplains through ordinance administration and periodic update, promotion of flood insurance and staff training, including encouragement of Certified Floodplain Manager status. RECOMMENDATION: The benefits are to flood prone building owners who choose to insure against flood losses, and to taxpayers who no longer would be faced with subsidizing those potential losses. ACTION: LEAD AGENCY: Floodplain Management • . • officials + SUPPORT AGENCIES: PROGRESS MILESTONES: Weld County is not participating in the CRS program. However, we are a member of NFIP and Weld County adopted the model ordinance in January of 2014, as required by the State of Colorado. The County enforces floodplain regulations as outlined in Article XI of Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code, in accordance with FEMA's requirements. PRIORITY: High LOCATION: Weld County RECOMMENDATION DATE: 2009 TARGET COMPLETION DATE: Completed ISSUE: Many of the floodplains located in Weld County are mapped as Zone A: 'To better protect residents, it would be beneficial to have the mapping update to include BFEs and floodways. There are also many floodplains that are not accurately mapped or that have known issues with their accuracy. The FIRMs don't always show what the floodplains are when compared with HAZUS. The County Public Works has some of the unfinished floodplain mapping for flashflood prone small drainages. Most floodplains in Weld County are in the A zone with no BFEs determined and several floodplains are only partially mapped. The partially mapped floodplains include Crow Creek, Lone Tree Creek, Owl Creek, Coalbank Creek, and various tributaries of Crow Creek. Many of the floodplains are mapped at the lower end and the upper end with no mapping in-between. As a result flood risk is unknown; there is no Floodplain mapping to provide guidance for developers and others that build close to flashflood creeks. The. floodplain' rnapping',.should be completed to, ► �� _ Michael Baker connect the upper and lower stream reaches so that the appropriate building/development requirements can be enforced. Additionally, many of the Zone A floodplains could be mapped in more detail to provide a floodway and Base Flood Elevations. Those floodplains include the lower portion of Lone Tree Creek, Box Elder Creek, St. Vrain Creek, Big Thompson River, and the South Platte River. All of these floodplains are in areas that have experienced significant growth over the past several years. Because of the approximate nature of the floodplain mapping, the mapped floodplain is known to be at least partially incorrectly delineated. The floodplains should be mapped in more detail so that the appropriate building/development requirements can be enforced. While the risk to residents is not changed by more detailed floodplain mapping, future risk can be mitigated by providing information on safe places and methods to build. UPDATE: The County is moving forward with the required adoption of the DFIRIJ which will go into effect in January 2016. During the DFIRM process, the County was successful in identifying several areas in the County that took people out of the floodplain. Conversely, however, the DFIRM's also brought some folks into the floodplain. The DFIRM's will become the new effective rate maps in 2016 and will be sufficient. With that said, the County does not have any interest in spending tax dollars to identify areas of the County that are not mapped or have approximate A zones. Any changes to the floodplain will be done by private property owners, developers or state and federal agencies. No further action is required for the 2016 HMP with respect to floodplain mapping ACTION: The County will be able to use floodplain regulations and building codes to ensure that people and property are relatively safe from flooding.

Ensuring effective implementation of mitigation activities paves the way for continued momentum in the planning process and gives direction for the future. This section explains who will be responsible for maintenance activities and what those responsibilities entail. It also provides a methodology and schedule of maintenance activities including a description of how the public will be involved on a continual basis. This Chapter discusses how the Weld County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Strategy will be implemented and how the overall Hazard Mitigation Plan will be evaluated and enhanced over time. This section also discusses how the public and participating stakeholders will continue to be involved in the hazard mitigation planning process. This chapter consists of the following subsections: • IMPLEMENTATION ACTION PLAN • PLAN INTEGRATION, EXISTING CAPABILITIES AND RESOURCES • FUTURE PLAN EVALUATION, MONITORING, UPDATING 7.1 Implementation Action Plan The 2016 planning process was overseen by the Weld County Office of Emergency Management, in coordination with other County departments. The Weld County Board of Commissioners has authorized the submission of this Plan to both the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for their respective reviews and subsequent approvals. Upon state and federal approval, the Weld County Board of Commissioners will act to formally adopt this Plan. 7.1.1 Plan Integration, Existing Capabilities and Resources Weld County maintains a comprehensive set of emergency management plans, developed in a multi- disciplinary environment where county departments, jurisdictional agencies and representatives, non- profit and community organizations, and the private sector are included in the planning process. This set of plans encompass all phases of emergency management and the work done on the 2016 Weld County Hazard Mitigation Plan will be integrated into these efforts moving forward. The 2016 Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP), and especially the hazard and risk assessment within it, was used to inform the Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) and the Recovery Plan (RP). For example, the highest risk hazards and highest priority actions identified in the HMP influence coordinated planning for response in the LEOP. In addition, the social vulnerability analysis from the HMP will directly impact plans for recovery in the RP in terms of resource prioritization and public outreach strategies. Additionally, when the LEOP and RP are activated, there will be an opportunity to identify mitigation actions and capability gaps that may be addressed in the HMP. By integrating the HMP with the County's comprehensive set of emergency management plans, a strong foundation for resilience has been set through smart emergency preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery, before, during and after an emergency or disaster event. 219 ►: ��; r: = Michael Baker ��rr EMERGFXVr MAGEMEM The capability assessment examines the ability of Weld County to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the County are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the town's hazard mitigation program. Local Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines Weld County's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist X Grant Writer X In Weld County, grant writing is left to each department. If subject matter experts are needed then the Department Mead coordinates that issue. Land Use Planning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities. The table below outlines the County's current capabilities as they relate to land use planning and codes. Yes (Y); No (N); I don't know (IDK) A zoning ordinance Y A hazard -specific ordinance N Local building codes Y A comprehensive plan / master plan Y A Capital Improvements Plan Y A Stormwater Plan Y A Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) Y An Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Y A Long -Term Recovery Plan In process Participates in the NFIP Y The Weld County COOP was currently under review by the BOCC during the development of the 2016 Hazard Mitigation Plan. Adoption of the COOP is expected before the end of 2015. Additionally, the County's Long Term Recovery plan is under development (as of October 2015). 220- c INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 7.1.2 Plan Maintenance and Implementation Weld County has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the County will continue to encourage public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy "Weld County will actively maintain the hazard mitigation plan by coordinating a review of all mitigation actions annually, and will determine needed updates at the January Multi -Agency Coordinating Group meeting each year." "Weld County OEM staff will meet with participating jurisdictions that are not able to attend the meeting either in person or by phone to facilitate a complete Weld County update. Weld County OEM will also present the plan to the Weld County Commissioners annually for approval." At a minimum, annual mitigation -specific public outreach and engagement activities (e.g. town hall meetings, information booths at community events, social media campaigns, etc.) will be spearheaded by the County to facilitate continued public participation in the plan maintenance process over time. Weld County will actively maintain the hazard mitigation plan by coordinating an annual review of all mitigation actions included in the 2016 Mitigation Strategy. The County will facilitate the mitigation action check -in process with each participating community at the January Multi -Agency Coordinating Group meeting each year. Weld County OEM staff will meet with participating jurisdictions that are not able to attend the meeting either in person or by phone to facilitate a complete update. Weld County OEM will also present the plan to the Weld County Commissioners annually for approval. Each participating jurisdiction has identified a process through which it will evaluate, maintain, and update their local mitigation actions. Details about their processes are included in the Community Profiles section of the plan. The 2016 Plan will be updated by the FEMA approved five year anniversary date, as required by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, or following a disaster event. Future plan updates will account for any new hazard vulnerabilities, special circumstances, or new information that becomes available. During the five-year review process, the following questions will be considered as criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the Weld County Hazard Mitigation Plan. • Has the nature or magnitude of hazards affecting the County changed? • Are there new hazards that have the potential to impact the County? • Do the identified goals and actions address current and expected conditions? • Have mitigation actions been implemented or completed? • Has the implementation of identified mitigation actions resulted in expected outcomes? • Are current resources adequate to implement the plan? • Should additional local resources be committed to address identified hazards? r � 221 � .- - �t+�„ INTERNATIQNAi. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Issues that arise during monitoring and evaluation which require changes to the local hazard, risk and vulnerability summary, mitigation strategy, and other components of the plan will be incorporated during future updates. 7.1.3 Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies. The table below lists the specific integration strategies identified by Weld County based on the mitigation actions listed in this plan. Table 66. Processes for Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Other Planning Mechanisms Jurisdiction Strategy "Weld County maintains a comprehensive set of emergency management plans, developed in a multi -disciplinary environment where county departments, jurisdictional agencies and representatives, non-profit and community organizations, and the private sector are included in the planning process. This set of plans encompass all phases of emergency management. The Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP), and especially the hazard and risk assessment within it, informs the Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) and Weld County the Recovery Plan (RP, currently in draft form). For example, the highest risk hazards and highest priority actions identified in the HMP influence coordinated planning for response in the LEOP. In addition, the social vulnerability analysis in the HMP will directly impact plans for recovery in the RP. Likewise, When the LEOP and RP are activated, there is an opportunity to identify mitigation actions and capability gaps that may be addressed in the HMP. Together, the comprehensive set of emergency management plans provide Weld County's foundation for emergency preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery, before, during and after an emergency or disaster event." 222 - INTERNATIONAL EMERGENa MANAGEMENT WELD COUNTY 201E MULTI-JURISE fCfIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Appendix A — Meeting Agendas & Sign -In Sheets E-57" I 223 - o•� I N T E R N A T 1 0 N A L EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT I N T E R N A 7 1 0 N A L EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT We Muke u Di j7e1 er 1te Weld County2016 Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Kickoff Meeting Whereand When?

It will be a model for social, economic and environmental sustainability." — Town of Ault Comprehensive Plan Community Profile Ault is located on the intersection of Hwy 85 and Hwy 14, and is well-known for its antique shops, Fall Festival, and International Food Fest. It is also known as the "Gateway to the Pawnee Grasslands." Today, Ault is an important crossroads for transporting goods and services but is no longer heavily reliant on its agricultural roots. Instead, the town has developed a variety of businesses and services such as banking, insurance, retail, and the Highland School District headquarters amongst many others. In recent years, Ault has transformed into a bedroom community for residents working in Cheyenne, Fort Collins and Greeley, all of which are less than 45 minutes from town. Future regional growth will impact many facets of the community and present residents with the challenge of addressing the impacts of growth while preserving the unique attributes that make Ault special.

Although there is no historic data showing hazardous impacts on the town, there is a great potential for Lightning to occur at any given time. Winter Storm According to NOAA's Storm Events Database, the Town of Ault has experienced 54 Winter Storms since 1996. On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in - 244 3 I N T E R N A T I O N A L fMt0.GEN[Y FRBNAG[iRt Nr central WWeld County. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. The Town of Ault is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. Inventory Exposed All assets located in the Town of Ault can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 1,603 people, or 100% of the town's population and all buildings and infrastructure within the town. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Potential Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the Town of Ault including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Ault. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. HAZMAT Based on data supplied by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's (PHMSA) Incident Reports Database there have been 4 reported HAZMAT incidents within the Town of Ault between 1972 and 2015. inventory Exposed US 85 runs through the Town of Ault and is a designated nuclear and hazardous materials transportation routes. All structures, natural resources, and people located within one mile of these transportation routes are exposed to the impacts of a potential HAZMAT event. Structures, people, and natural resources located outside of a one mile buffer of these routes are also at risk of exposure. Assets and people that are located within one mile of an industrial or commercial fixed site are also at risk of exposure to the impacts of a HAZMAT release. PotentioI Losses HAZMAT related events occur throughout Weld County every year. The intensity and magnitude of these incidents depend on weather conditions, the location of the event, the time of day, and the process by which the materials are released. Was it raining when the event happened? Were the hazardous materials being transported by rail when they were released or were they at a fixed facility? Did the spill happen during rush hour traffic or in the middle of the night? All of these considerations matter when determining the risk and potential damages associated with a HAZMAT incident. HAZMAT events have the potential to threaten lives and disrupt business activity. Moreover, HAZMAT incidents can cause serious environmental contamination to air, ground, and water sources.

This includes 1,603 people, or 100% of the town's population, and all buildings and structures within the town. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide I 246 - INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potential Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $47,452,860. Potential losses could be substantial. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the Town of Ault to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the town's hazard mitigation program. Local Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the town's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist X Grant writer X Land Use Planning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities. The table below outlines the town's current capabilities as they relate to land use planning and codes.

For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. Town of Ault has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. Plan Maintenance and Implementation The Town of Ault has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the town will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy "We will review the plan on on annual basis with the Town Board." Town of Ault "We will engage the public through the Town website." Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies. The Town of Ault did not integrate the 2009 HMP into other local planning mechanisms. The table below lists the specific integration strategies identified by the Town of Ault based on the mitigation actions listed in this plan. Jurisdiction Strategy "We will update ordinances and zoning to reflect the mitigation priorities in this Town of Ault Plan.

Incorporated in 1887, the city sits along the banks of the South Platte River. The closing of Denver's Stapleton Airport in the early 1990s and the opening of the Denver International Airport led to many changes for the City of Brighton. Rapid and numerous annexations were necessary to accommodate the increase in population driven by increased accessibility. Once a small town with agricultural roots, the City of Brighton is now one of the fastest growing cities in Colorado. The following are the overall goals that the City of Brighton established in their Comprehensive Plan: Brighton 2020: A Vision for Managing Change and Promoting Excellence. These goals are the foundation and guide to the public and private sector as decisions are made that "effect the future quality of life of existing and future residents and the natural and build environment in which they live, learn, work, and play." In the context of the Weld County Hazard Mitigation Plan and the City's local hazard mitigation program, the achievement of the following goals will depend largely upon the city's ability to successfully implement its hazard mitigation strategies and reduce risk to people and property from hazards. • Preserve and enhance Brighton's quality of life • Preserve and enhance Brighton's small town identity • Promote and develop Brighton as a sustainable community • Promote and protect Brighton's "Free -Standing" community • Maintain Brighton's farming character • Promote Brighton's local history • Promote community focal points V11 INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY M4\MAGLMENf WELD COUNTY 2016 MUKIDURISDIGTIONAL HAZARD MITIGA ION PLAN • Become an "inclusive" community • Encourage interaction among residents The large majority of Brighton's long-term planning goals and visions depend on fostering a safe, hazard resilient community.

A deeper -dive into the individual social vulnerability indicators within the city will give local emergency managers, planners, and stakeholders an even clearer picture of which social vulnerability factors have the largest negative effect on the community and its resiliency. It is important that the city continue to monitor social vulnerability levels over time as demographics and economics change in the area. Public Health Hazards Public health hazards, including epidemics and pandemics, have the potential to cause serious illness and death, especially among those who have compromised immune systems due to age or underlying medical conditions. During the 2015 planning process, pandemic flu was identified as the key public health hazard in the county. Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of public health hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of public health hazards. This includes -;R. . ate:$ I 255 t '- - o� ry,� I N T E R N A T 10 N A L WtifANU N"AGEMIxT places with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, low income families, and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to public health hazards. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, and a high poverty rate can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during public health hazards outbreaks. Populations Vulnerable to Public Health Hazards Age: 65 and Over (%) Age: 5 and under {9b} Persons Below PovertyLevel (%) Colorado 10.9 6.8 12.9 City of Brighton 8.7 8.6 8.2 The City of Brighton has a lower percentage of elderly residents than does the state of Colorado. This is also true for the percentage of people living below poverty level in the town. A larger percentage of Brighton residents are under the age of 5 than the general population of Colorado. Based on these statistics, Brighton residents (in general) do not appear to be acutely vulnerable to the impacts of public health hazards. That said, future mitigation efforts related to public health hazards should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, young children, live in poverty, or are homeless. Potentio! Losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for public health hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the City of Brighton are exposed to public health hazards. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, young and low income families. Given the lack of historical data in the City of Brighton resulting from public health hazards, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the City of Brighton due to public health hazards are currently considered unquantifiable. Straight -Line Winds & Tornadoes According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Brighton due to high wind events or tornadoes. However, there have been tornadoes reported very close to both the eastern and western borders of the city limits. 256 - 9�.

This includes 36,765 people, or 100% of the city's population and all buildings and structures within the City. Most structures, including the city's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate I 2574. - Q I N T E R N A 7 1 0 N A L t Mtalli PONa11NAOMINT protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potential loses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $128,302,206. Potential losses could be substantial. HAZMAT Based on data provided by Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's (PHMSA) Incident Reports Database there have been no HAZMAT incidents reported in the City of Brighton between 1972 and 2015. 1-76 and Highway 85 are two major hazardous and nuclear materials transportation routes that run through and adjacent to the City. Further planning and research is necessary to identify the volume and frequency of hazardous materials movement along these transit corridors along with the location of fixed facilities. Inventory Exposed We can't accurately predict when or where a HAZMAT incident may occur. Therefore, for the purpose of this plan, all structures, natural resources, and people located within one mile of the designated hazardous and nuclear materials transportation routes are exposed to the impacts of a potential HAZMAT event. Structures, people, and natural resources located outside of a one mile buffer of these routes are also at risk of exposure. Assets and people that are located within one mile of any industrial or commercial fixed sites are also at risk of exposure to the impacts of a HAZMAT release. Potential losses HAZMAT related events occur throughout Weld County every year. The intensity and magnitude of these incidents depend on weather conditions, the location of the event, the time of day, and the process by which the materials are released. Was it raining when the event happened? Were the hazardous materials being transported by rail when they were released or were they at a fixed facility? Did the spill happen during rush hour troll c or in the middle of the night? All of these considerations matter when determining the risk and potential damages associated with a HAZMAT incident. HAZMAT events have the potential to threaten lives and disrupt business activity. Moreover, HAZMAT incidents can cause serious environmental contamination to air, ground, and water sources. Extreme Temperatures According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Brighton due to extreme temperatures. There are two reports of extreme cold temperatures in central and southern Weld County on December 16-17, 1996. There is a great potential for extreme temperature events to occur at any given time. WMichaeBaker 1 EMERGENCT MANAGEMENT Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of extreme temperatures hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of extreme temperatures. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, low income families and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to extreme temperatures. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, a high poverty rate and/or large numbers of rental properties can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during extreme temperature events. Populations Vulnerable to Extreme Temperatures Age: 65 and Over (%) Persons Below Poverty Level (%) Renter -occupied housing units (%) Colorado 10.9 12.9 34.5 City of Brighton 8.7 8.2 31.2 The City of Brighton has a lower percentage of elderly residents than does the state of Colorado. This is also true for the percentage of people living below poverty level in the city. A slight larger percentage of Brighton residents own their homes than the general population of Colorado. Based on these statistics, Brighton residents (in general) do not appear to be acutely vulnerable to the impacts of extreme temperatures. That said, future mitigation efforts related to extreme temperature should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, live in poverty or are homeless, or are renters. Potential losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for extreme temperature hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the City of Brighton are exposed to extreme temperatures. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, and low income families. Given the lack of historical data and limited likelihood of structural losses in the City of Brighton resulting from extreme heat or cold, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the City of Brighton due to extreme temperatures are currently considered unguantifiable. Severe Storm (Hail, Lightning, Winter Storm) Hail According to the best available data there are no reported injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damage in the City of Brighton. There was one hail event recorded within the city limits as well as several hail events that occurred less than one mile from the city limits, none of which reported injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damage. Although there is no historic data showing hazardous impacts on the town, there is a great potential for hail events to occur at any given time.

Although there is no historic data showing hazardous impacts on the city, there is a great potential for Lightning to occur at any given time. Winter Storm According to NOAA's Storm Events Database, the City of Brighton has experienced 25 Winter Storms since 1996. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central and southern Weld County. The City of Brighton is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. Inventory Exposed All assets located in the City of Brighton can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 36,765 people, or 100% of the town's population and all buildings and infrastructure within the city. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail I 260 W-al- INTERNATIONAL EMERfAKU MANAGEMENT WELD COUNTY 2016 MU LTI-JORISDI&IONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Potentiol Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the City of Brighton including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the City of Brighton. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Prairie Fire There are a number of areas in the northeastern region of the city that are within the medium to highest level on the WUI Risk Index Scale. This means that the potential impact on people and homes from a Prairie Fire in those areas is medium to high in relationship to the rest of Weld County. This level of risk is derived by combining housing density with predicted flame length.

There are no areas of high wildfire threat according to the WUl Risk Index. There are areas of medium I 262- -Y� INTERNATIONAL EMEArAMCV M+ A6EMENT threat. There are no identified critical facilities located in areas with the moderate wildfire threat total. The appraisal value of the structures within these moderate threat areas is approximately $5,616,745. Potential Losses Currently, there is no method for estimating wildfire loss. In most cases, the emergency management community equates potential losses to assets exposed to wildfire as a method of quantifying and comparing potential losses across communities. The exposure data provided in the previous section (Inventory Assets Exposed) provides the clearest picture of potential losses to wildfire in the City of Brighton. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the City of Brighton to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the City's hazard mitigation program. Local Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the City's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist X Grant Writer x Land Use Planning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities. The table below outlines the City's current capabilities as they relate to land use planning and codes. Yes (Y); No (N); I don't know (IDK) A zoning ordinance Y A hazard -specific ordinance N Local building codes Y A Comprehensive Plan / Master Plan Y A Capital Improvements Plan Y . I - 263 Q, INTERNATIONAL [LFEXGE XC� EMXIIGEMLX f A Stormwater Plan Y A Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) Y An Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Y A Long -Term Recovery Plan N Participates in the NFIP Y Building codes are one tool that communities use to enhance public safety. For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. The City of Brighton has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. Plan Maintenance and Implementation The City of Brighton has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the city will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy "Our mitigation actions will be reviewed by Emergency Management annually, and by City Council and or Fire SOD as needed." City of Brighton "Mitigation actions, activities and information will be integrated into existing public education programs and shared via website and or social media as necessary." Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies. The City of Brighton did not integrate the 2009 HMP into other local planning mechanisms. The table below lists the specific integration strategy identified by the City of Brighton based on the mitigation actions listed in this plan. Jurisdiction Strategy "We will integrate hazard Mitigation actions into our existing public City of Brighton education/community training programs to continually increase awareness about local hazards and potential consequences."

Dacono is centrally located with easy access to both the Denver metropolitan area and Northern Colorado communities. Dacono is also part of the Greeley/Weld MSA. Located in the heart of the Front Range, the city cultivates a small town atmosphere with panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. At an elevation of 5,017 feet above sea level, there are no steep slopes in any portion of the Planning area. Dacono enjoys all four seasons. The combination of high elevation and mid latitude interior continent geography results in a cool, dry climate and residents engage in outdoor recreation all year round. The following five vision statements are the guiding elements for development and re -development in the City of Dacono over the next 20 years. These visions were established in the City of Dacono Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2005 and are the community's answer to the following question: What kind of community do we want Dacono to be? • VISION 1: Our future development will be concentrated within a growth boundary, be actively managed, served by adequate public facilities and will encourage economic vitality • VISION 2: Our community will strive to balance future land uses and ensure economic self- sustainability • VISION 3: Our communities will be livable, walkable, safe and distinctive • VISION 4: Our environmental resources will be protected and when used, used wisely I 278 - �+�,,,t INTERNATIONAL EMCRGEMU M1 AGCMEHT WELD COUNTY 2016 MUL+Tf-JURISDfC+TIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN • VISION 5: Our citizens will take part in the decisions and actions that affect them These visions are the guiding principles for the variety of decisions that are made every week concerning "roads, sewers, parks and new developments."21 These visions were used to guide the development of mitigation strategies at the city level. Community Profile The City of Dacono is located in southwestern Weld County, about 10 miles north of the Denver metropolitan area. The "Old Town" area of Dacono is located two miles east of 1-25 and south of Highway 52. The city encompasses nearly 8.2 square miles, with a future growth boundary of 22 square miles.

Winter Storm According to the NOAA's Storm Events Database, the City of Dacono has experienced 25 Winter Storms since 1996. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central and southern Weld County. The City of Dacono is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. inventory Exposed All assets located in the City of Dacono can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 4,583 people, or 100% of the city's population and all buildings and infrastructure within the city. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the city's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail 282 10— INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENI WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Po tentio! Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the City of Dacono including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath'of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the City of Dacono. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Straight -Line Winds & Tornadoes According to the best available data no deaths or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Dacono due to tornadoes. There have been 4 tornadoes reported within the city limits between 1985 and 2008. On July 26, 1985 a tornado caused 3 injuries and $4,000 in property damage. On June 16, 1997 a tornado caused some property damage. On May 22, 2008 one person was injured as a result of a tornado. There have also been tornadoes reported very close to the borders of the city limits. Tornadoes will remain a highly likely occurrence for the City of Dacono. According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Dacono due to straight-line winds.

This includes 4,583people, or 100% of the city's population and all buildings and structures within the city. Most structures, including the city's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potentiol Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stern from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $129,418,385. Potential losses could be substantial. Flood Consistent with the information highlighted in the 2005 Dacono Comprehensive Plan, the City's planning area is impacted by the Little Dry Creek floodplain. Little Dry Creek flows diagonally across the Planning Area and eventually drains into the South Platte River. Small ponds are scattered through the City, along with several irrigation ditches (Standley Ditch, Godding Hollow Ditch, and Lower Boulder Ditch). According to the best available data there have been no reported injuries or deaths in the City of Dacono caused by flooding. Due to Little Dry Creek, however, there is a possibility for a flood event to occur at any given time. Currently, the City's Future Land Use Map illustrates that development along Little Dry Creek should be set back at least 25 feet from the top of ditch banks and from the mean high water line of natural and man-made waterbodies to maintain natural buffers. Additionally, new development is precluded within the floodplain.

During the 2015 planning process, pandemic flu was identified as the key public health hazard in the county. INTERNATIONAL EM[AC,[N�l' MANAf.[M[MT Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of public health hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of public health hazards. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, low income families, and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to public health hazards. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, and a high poverty rate can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during public health hazards outbreaks. Populations Vulnerable to Public Health Hazards Age: 65 and Over (%) Age: 5 and under%j Persons Below Poverty Level (%) Colorado 10.9 6.8 12.9 City of Dacono 9.1 9.2 6.0 The City of Dacono has a lower percentage of elderly residents than does the state of Colorado. This is also true for the percentage of people living below poverty level in the town. A larger percentage of Dacono residents are under the age of 5 than the general population of Colorado. Based on these statistics, Dacono residents (in general) do not appear to be acutely vulnerable to the impacts of public health hazards. That said, future mitigation efforts related to public health hazards should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, young children, live in poverty, or are homeless. Potential Losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for public health hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the City of Dacono are exposed to public health hazards. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, young and low income families. Given the lack of historical data in the City of Dacono resulting from public health hazards, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the City of Dacono due to public health hazards are currently considered unquantifiable. Extreme Temperatures According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Dacono due to extreme temperatures. There are two reports of extreme cold temperatures in central and southern Weld County on December 16th and 17th, 1996. There is a great potential for extreme temperature events to occur within the region at any given time. Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of extreme temperatures hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of extreme temperatures.

This is also true for the percentage of people living below poverty level in the city. A much larger percentage of Dacono residents own their homes than the general population of Colorado. Based on these statistics, Dacono residents (in general) do not appear to be acutely vulnerable to the impacts of extreme temperatures. That said, future mitigation efforts related to extreme temperature should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, live in poverty or are homeless, or are renters. Potentiol Losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for extreme temperature hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the City of Dacono are exposed to extreme temperatures. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, and low income families. Given the lack of historical data and limited likelihood of structural losses in the City of Dacono resulting from extreme heat or cold, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the City of Dacono due to extreme temperatures are currently considered unquantifiable. Drought According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Dacono due to drought. There are four reports of drought in southern Weld County. The four reports all occurred in April of 2002 and March of 2011. There is a great potential for a drought event to occur at any given time. inventory Exposed Drought will have little to no direct impact on critical facilities or structures in the City of Dacono. Should a drought affect the water available for public water systems or individual wells, the availability of clean drinking water could be compromised. This situation would require emergency actions and could possibly overwhelm local capacities and financial resources Potentiol Losses Although it is unlikely that drought conditions will affect existing buildings, infrastructure, and critical infrastructure, economic livelihoods in the City of Dacono could be negatively impacted due to crop loss, water shortages, and wildfires as a result of drought. Possible losses/impacts to critical facilities include the loss of critical function due to low water supplies. As Dacono continues to grow, it will consider water -saving mitigation activities that will decrease local vulnerability to drought I 290 - I N T E R N A T I 0 N A L EMERGE -My ~AGEW-1 Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the City of Dacono to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the City's hazard mitigation program. Local Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the City's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist I X Grant Writer I X The Chief of Police is the designated Emergency Manager. None of the above positions are stand alone, they are all performed by either a full time employee with a different title or a contract company. Land Use Planning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities.

The City of Dacono has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. The City of Dacono has had previous experience receiving, administering, and applying for grants for planning -related activities or projects. These include: • A grant for original Comprehensive Plan development • An infrastructure grant through the Energy Impact Grants • Funding from FEMA and the State of Colorado for post flood costs to repair and clean up. Plan Maintenance and Implementation The City of Dacono has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the town will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy The hazard mitigation plan and actions are reviewed by staff and the city administration on an ongoing basis. City of Dacono As part of the plan maintenance process, the City of Dacono will continue to engage the public in the process of identifying hazard risks and prioritizing mitigation actions. Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies. The City of Dacono did not integrate the 2009 HMP into other local planning mechanisms. The table below lists the specific integration strategies identified by the City of Dacono based on the mitigation actions listed in this plan.

HA ARD MITIGATION PLAN Town of Erie "Erie is a community which recognizes the importance of conserving and enhancing its historic small town character, the roots from which it grew, preserving the natural environment in which it resides; a caring community which offers its residents on environment in which to seek a high quality of life; a balanced community with a diverse range of housing, employment, educational, shopping, and recreational opportunities; and a vital community which provides financial and social support for quality of life programs." —Community Vision Statement, 2005 Town of Erie Comprehensive Plan Incorporated in 1874, the Town of Erie is situated at the center of Colorado's major economic and population hubs. Located in both Boulder and Weld Counties, Erie lies just west of 1-25 and spans 48 square miles, extending from the north side of State Highway 52 and south to State Highway 7. Through its comprehensive planning process, the Town has established a set of Guiding Principles as pillars for the community's development over the next 20 years. The following principles describe local aspirations and set the direction for development and policy decisions, while building on the Vision established for the community. • A coordinated and efficient pattern of growth • Quality design and development • Overall economic vitality • Downtown vitality • A comprehensive, integrated transportation system • Stewardship of the natural environment • Trails, parks and recreation opportunities • A Protected Lands program • Balanced land use mix • Stable, cohesive neighborhoods offering a variety of housing types SAP. I298 1 y ' INTERNATIONAL [M[R"N=YM A(,IMJWT WELD C0 U N:U2QQMULTI-JURISDIGfIONA HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN • Provide infrastructure and public services efficiently and equitably A number of these Guiding Principles reinforce the hazard mitigation and risk reduction goals outlined in this plan. For example, the stewardship of the natural environment in floodplains and high risk areas is a mitigation strategy that has mutual benefits for risk reduction and for the vision for a community with a high quality of life. The Town of Erie used the Vision statement and Guiding Principles from their Comprehensive Plan to frame the discussion about their local mitigation strategy. Community Profile The following profile illustrates population, housing, and employment trends for the Town of Erie. The data used in this profile was derived from the 2010 US Census of Population, Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) regional data, and Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) demographic data.

I 302V -9, W r,, �1 INTERNATIONAL EMERGE14 V MANAGEMENT The critical facility and structure exposure analysis estimates that there is 1 critical facility and 104 structures in the Town of Erie that are flood prone (not including the total miles of flood prone infrastructure). Critical facilities are essential to the health and welfare of the whole population and are especially important both during and after hazard events. Critical structures or areas that overlap or touch the SFHA are considered "flood prone." The appraised value of these exposed structures is approximately $34.9 million dollars. Potentiol losses Hazus estimates for the Town of Erie that for a 100-year flood event, approximately 104 buildings will experience flood damage. The total economic loss estimated for the 100-year flood is over $1,746,600. Currently, there is 1 critical facility located within the floodplain in the Town of Erie. Hazus does not report an economic loss on this critical facility caused by flood damage. The total building losses for the 100-year flood event are estimated to be over 51,371,390. Building content losses are estimated to be over $223,870. Inventory losses are estimated to be over $151,330.

Inventory Exposed Two designated nuclear and hazardous materials transportation routes run adjacent the Town of Erie (I- 25 and Highway 52). All structures, natural resources, and people located within one mile of these transportation routes are exposed to the impacts of a potential HAZMAT event. Structures, people, and natural resources located outside of a one mile buffer of these routes are also at risk of exposure. Assets and people that are located within one mile of an industrial or commercial fixed site are also at risk of exposure to the impacts of a HAZMAT release. Potential losses HAZMAT related events occur throughout Weld County every year. The intensity and magnitude of these incidents depend on weather conditions, the location of the event, the time of day, and the process by which the materials are released. Was it raining when the event happened? Were the hazardous materials being transported by rail when they were released or were they at a fixed facility? Did the spill happen during rush hour traffic or in the middle of the night? All of these considerations matter when determining the risk and potential damages associated with a HAZMAT incident. HAZMAT events have the potential to threaten lives and disrupt business activity. Moreover, HAZMAT incidents can cause serious environmental contamination to air, ground, and water sources. Severe Storm (Hail, Lightning, Winter Storm) Hail According to the best available data there are no reported injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damage in the Town of Erie. There have been 5 recorded hail events within the town limits as well as several events less than one mile from the town limits. Although there is no historic data showing hazardous impacts on the town, there is a great potential for hail events to occur at any given time. 1305 ;- �'.'f�t� INTERNATI0NAL [MMAN" MANAGkMiN[ WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Town of Erie Historical Hail Events Reported historical events occuring between 1955 - 2014.

There is a great potential for Lightning to occur at any given time within the Town of Erie. Winter Storm According to the best available data, the Town of Erie has experienced 25 Winter Storms since 1996.22 On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central and southern Weld County. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. The Town of Erie is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. Inventory Exposed All assets located in the Town of Erie can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 20,493 people, or 100% of the Town's population and all buildings and infrastructure within the town. Damages 22 NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, Storm Events Database 306 1NTERNATiONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Potential losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the Town of Erie including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Erie. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Extreme Temperatures According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Erie due to extreme temperatures. There are two reports of extreme cold temperatures in central and southern Weld County on December 16th and 17th, 1996. There is a great potential for extreme temperature events to occur within the region at any given time. Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of extreme temperatures hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of extreme temperatures. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, low income families and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to extreme temperatures. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, a high poverty rate and/or large numbers of rental properties can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during extreme temperature events. Populations Vulnerable to Extreme Temperatures Age: 65 and Over (%) Persons Below Poverty Level (%) Renter -occupied housing units (%) Colorado 10.9 12.9 34.5 Town of Erie 5.7 4.1 17.4 The Town of Erie has a lower percentage of elderly residents than does the state of Colorado. This is also true for the percentage of people living below poverty level in the town. A much larger percentage of Erie residents own their homes than the general population of Colorado. Based on these statistics, Erie residents (in general) do not appear to be acutely vulnerable to the impacts of extreme temperatures. That said, future mitigation efforts related to extreme temperature should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, live in poverty or are homeless, or are renters. 307 I N T E R N A T 1 0 N A L EIAMANR MANAGEMENT Potential losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for extreme temperature hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the Town of Erie are exposed to extreme temperatures. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, and low income families. Given the lack of historical data and limited likelihood of structural losses in the Town of Erie resulting from extreme heat or cold, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the Town of Erie due to extreme temperatures are currently considered unquantifiable. Drought According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Erie due to drought. There are four reports of drought in southern Weld County. The four drought events all occurred in April of 2002 and March of 2011. There is a great potential for a drought event to occur at any given time. Due to the nature of drought, all jurisdictions within Weld County are expected to be impacted under drought conditions. Agricultural communities are expected to bear the brunt of drought effects in the county. Inventory Exposed Drought will have little to no direct impact on critical facilities or structures in the Town of Erie. Should a drought affect the water available for public water systems or individual wells, the availability of clean drinking water could be compromised. This situation would require emergency actions and could possibly overwhelm local capacities and financial resources. Potential losses Although it is unlikely that drought conditions will affect existing buildings, infrastructure, and critical infrastructure, economic livelihoods in the Town of Erie could be negatively impacted due to crop loss, water shortages, and wildfires as a result of drought. Possible losses/impacts to critical facilities include the loss of critical function due to low water supplies. As Erie continues to grow, it will consider water -saving mitigation activities that will decrease local vulnerability to drought. Earthquake According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Erie due to earthquakes. Although there is no historic data showing hazardous impacts on the town, there is a great potential for earthquake events to occur at any given time. tt Michael Baker [M[N4[MCYw AGEU[rr WELD COUNTY O1 MUL I-JURISDIGTIONA HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Town of Erie Golden Fault Scenario Ground Acceleration T Ground motion information derived from Hazus-MH 2.2 earthquake scenario with an epicenter along the Golden Fault with a moment magnitude of 6.5.

Two out of five of CG5's Case Histories are located in Erie, Co. Summaries of the two subsidence events in Erie have been included below (provided by Colorado Geological Society). Case History: 2009, Jay Road, Erie, CO In January 2009 a large subsidence hole was reported at a residence near the corner of a horse barn. The property owners reported the hole "opened up overnight" and a fence and gate had been destroyed by the event. The hole measured roughly 25 feet by 25 feet by 1.5 feet deep and was filled with water. Because of the nature of the opening and the proximity to livestock and human activities, the event was considered a subsidence emergency and was backfilled by the Abandoned Mine Lands program. Case History: 2008, Erie, CO In December of 2008, a large subsidence hole in a field west of Erie was reported. The hole was about 50 feet in diameter and 35 feet deep. The field where the hole appeared was under consideration for annexation by the Town of Erie for future residential development. However, a geophysical investigation conducted three months prior to the event did not show any evidence of voids in the area. In fact, the hole was located outside of the mined area shown on the mine map. During the mitigation process, a 314*Vm, n ff .- VT M "i INTERNATI0NAL EMERGENCY PAWAGEMENT WELD COUNTY Z016 MULTI-JURISDIC-TIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION" PLAN secondary subsidence pit of smaller dimensions was found directly west of the original hole.

Not only have there been previous land subsidence events reported in the county, CGS data of at -risk areas shows a number of areas of historical undermining in the county, many of which intersect with critical facilities, largely populated areas, and future development areas. Straight -Line Winds and Tornado According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Erie due to tornadoes. There have been three tornadoes reported within the town limits between 1976 and 2013. A tornado occurred on July 12, 1979 and caused $4,000 worth of property loss. There have been tornadoes reported close to the borders of the Town limits. Tornadoes will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Erie. According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Erie due to straight-line winds. There have been 6 reports of high wind events within the town limits between 1987 and 2014. Tornadoes touched down in multiple areas across Colorado on Saturday, August 3, 2013 including Erie, according to the National Weather Service. The Boulder Office of Emergency Management alerted the public to a tornado warning around 7 P.M. Major damages were inflicted on the Town's Boulder Valley Velodrome, which is only the 21d such facility in the state and whose construction was close to being completed.

This includes 20,493 people, or 100% of the town's population, and all buildings and structures within the town. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Po ten tioI losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $981,531,250. Potential losses could be substantial. Prairie Fire On July 1:t through July 7", 1994, the Town of Erie experienced a prairie fire. There is no data available for injuries, deaths, or damages. Although there is no historic data showing hazardous impacts on the town, there is a great potential for prairie fire events to occur at any given time. There are a number of areas in the southeastern and south central region of the town that are within the medium to highest level on the WUI Risk Index Scale. This means that the potential impact on people and homes from a prairie fire in those areas is medium to high in relationship to the rest of Weld County. This level of risk is derived by combining housing density with predicted flame length.

There are 652 identified structures located in areas with the highest wildfire threat total. The appraisal value of the assets within these high threat areas is approximately $136,245,819. When considering assets located in areas of moderate wildfire threat there are 395 structures identified. The appraised value of these assets is approximately $ 81,520,219. There are no critical facilities in the highest wildfire threat areas. There is one critical facility located in an area with the moderate wildfire threat. The appraised value of this facility is $312,720. Potentiol losses Currently, there is no method for estimating wildfire loss. In most cases, the emergency management community equates potential losses to assets exposed to wildfire as a method of quantifying and comparing potential losses across communities. The exposure data provided in the previous section (Inventory Assets Exposed) provides the clearest picture of potential losses to wildfire in the Town of Erie. Public Health Hazards Public health hazards, including epidemics and pandemics, have the potential to cause serious illness and death, especially among those who have compromised immune systems due to age or underlying medical conditions. During the 2015 planning process, pandemic flu was identified as the key public health hazard in the county. Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of public health hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of public health hazards. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, low income families, and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to public health hazards. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, and a high poverty rate can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during public health hazards outbreaks. Populations Vulnerable to Public Health Hazards Age: 65 and Over (%) Age: 5 and under (%) Persons Below Poverty Level (%) Colorado 10.9 6.8 12.9 Town of Erie 5.7 9.6 4.1 The Town of Erie has a lower percentage of elderly residents than does the state of Colorado. This is also true for the percentage of people living below poverty level in the town. A larger percentage of Erie residents are under the age of 5 than the general population of Colorado. Based on these statistics, Erie residents (in general) do not appear to be acutely vulnerable to the impacts of public health hazards. That said, future mitigation efforts related to public health hazards should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, young children, live in poverty, or are homeless. 321 ". INTERNATIONAL ut"- IMERMUCY MAMAGIMCKT Poten tioI Losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for public health hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the Town of Erie are exposed to public health hazards. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, young and low income families. Given the lack of historical data in the Town of Erie resulting from public health hazards, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the Town of Erie due to public health hazards are currently considered unquantifiable. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the Town of Erie to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the town's hazard mitigation program. Loco! Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the town's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist X Grant Writer I X Chief of Police serves as the Emergency Manager, Civil Engineer III serves as the Floodplain Administrator, and all departments share grant writing responsibilities. Land Use Planning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities. The table below outlines the Town's current capabilities as they relate to land use planning and codes. Yes (Y); No (N); I don't know (IDK) A zoning ordinance Y A hazard -specific ordinance Y Local building codes Y A comprehensive plan / master plan Y A Capital Improvements Plan Y A Stormwater Plan Y A Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) N 322 INTERNATIONAL WtlkaNU MANAGTM[NT An Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Y A Long -Term Recovery Plan N Participates in the NFIP Y Building codes are one tool that communities use to enhance public safety. For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. The Town of Erie has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. The Town of Erie has had previous experience receiving, administering, and applying for grants for mitigation and planning -related activities or projects. These include grants from: • FEMA, UASI, UDFCD, FAA, and DOLA Plan Maintenance and Implementation The Town of Erie has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the town will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy The Town of Erie will follow Boulder County's schedule for plan monitoring, revision, and maintenance. Mitigation Actions will be monitored and administered by appropriate Town Departments (i.e. Administration, Police and Public Works). Town of Erie The Town of Erie is participating in Hazard Mitigation Plans with both Boulder and Weld County. Plans will be made public (online) when they ore brought forward for Board approval. Any changes to these plans requiring Board approval would also be made public. Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies. The Town of Erie did not integrate the 2009 HMP into other local planning mechanisms. The table below lists the specific integration strategies identified by the Town of Erie based on the mitigation actions listed in this plan.

Once the County seat of Weld County, Evans is the second most populated municipality in the County. The City of Evans is growing rapidly, and the population nearly doubled between 2000 and 2010. In 2010, the City established a basic policy direction through the development of a Comprehensive Plan. The following four categories represent the fundamental principles necessary to guide growth and development in Evans over the next 20 years: 1. Orderly, Efficient Growth Pattern and Adequate Public Facilities, Including an Efficient` Transportation System 2. Open Space, Parks, Trails, and Recreation 3.

Inventory Exposed Two designated nuclear and hazardous materials transportation routes run adjacent the City of Evans (US 34 and US 85). All structures, natural resources, and people located within one mile of these transportation routes are exposed to the impacts of a potential HAZMAT event. Structures, people, and natural resources located outside of a one mile buffer of these routes are also at risk of exposure. Assets and people that are located within one mile of an industrial or commercial fixed site are also at risk of exposure to the impacts of a HAZMAT release. ,rip OF Cm= 1332 'a y�Y. S.a�,; INT@ANATIONA4 EMERGENCY MutAGEmENs Potential losses HAZMAT related events occur throughout Weld County every year. The intensity and magnitude of these incidents depend on weather conditions, the location of the event, the time of day, and the process by which the materials are released. Was it raining when the event happened? Were the hazardous materials being transported by rail when they were released or were they at a fixed facility? Did the spill happen during rush hour traffic or in the middle of the night? All of these considerations matter when determining the risk and potential damages associated with a HAZMAT incident. HAZMAT events have the potential to threaten lives and disrupt business activity. Moreover, HAZMAT incidents can cause serious environmental contamination to air, ground, and water sources. Severe Storm (Hail, Lightning, Winter Storm) Hail According to the best available data there are no reported injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damage in the City of Evans. There have been 9 recorded hail events within the City of Evans as well as several hail events that occurred less than one mile from the town limits, none of which reported injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damage.

There have been two recorded Lightning incidents in Evans one of which resulted in a death on June 5, 2009. There is a great potential for Lightning to occur at any given time in the City of Evans. 1Alintar Ctnrm According to the best available data, the City of Evans has experienced 25 Winter Storms since 1996. On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central and southern Weld County. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. The City of Evans is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. Inventory Exposed All assets located in the City of Evans can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 20,473 people, or 100% of the town's population and all buildings and infrastructure within the city. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the city's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail I 334 - INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY A"NAGEMENE but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Potential Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the City of Evans including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the City of Evans. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Extreme Temperatures According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Evans due to extreme temperatures. There are two reports of extreme cold temperatures in central and southern Weld County on December 16th and 17th, 1996. There is a great potential for extreme temperature events to occur within the region at any given time. inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of extreme temperatures hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of extreme temperatures. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, low income families and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to extreme temperatures. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, a high poverty rate and/or large numbers of rental properties can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during extreme temperature events. Populations Vulnerable to Extreme Temperatures Age. 65 and Over (%) Persons Below Poverty Level (%) Renter -occupied housing units (%) Colorado 10.9 12.9 34.5 City of Evans 6.1 19.6 41.5 The City of Evans has a lower percentage of elderly residents than does the state of Colorado. Evans has a higher percentage of people living below poverty level than the state. A lower percentage of Evans residents own their homes than the general population of Colorado. Based on these statistics, Evans residents (in general) appear to be more acutely vulnerable to the impacts of extreme temperatures than the general population of Colorado. That said, future mitigation efforts related to extreme temperature should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, live in poverty, are homeless, or are renters. 335 rM -- - INTERNATIONAL [M(SMU" uu AGIMINT W LD COUNTY 2016 MULTI-JURISDIC+i'IONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Potentio! Losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for extreme temperature hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the City of Evans are exposed to extreme temperatures. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, and low income families. Given the lack of historical data and limited likelihood of structural losses in the City of Evans resulting from extreme heat or cold, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the City of Evans due to extreme temperatures are currently considered unquantifiable. Drought According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Evans due to drought. There are four reports of drought in southern Weld County. The four drought events all occurred in April of 2002 and March of 2011. There is a great potential for a drought event to occur at any given time. Inventory Exposed Drought will have little to no direct impact on critical facilities or structures in the City of Evans. Should a drought affect the water available for public water systems or individual wells, the availability of clean drinking water could be compromised. This situation would require emergency actions and could possibly overwhelm local capacities and financial resources. PotentioI Losses Although it is unlikely that drought conditions will affect existing buildings, infrastructure, and critical infrastructure, economic livelihoods in the City of Evans could be negatively impacted due to crop loss, water shortages, and wildfires as a result of drought. Possible losses/impacts to critical facilities include the loss of critical function due to low water supplies. As Evans continues to grow, it will consider water -saving mitigation activities that will decrease local vulnerability to drought. Earthquake According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Evans due to earthquakes. Although there is no historic data showing hazardous impacts on the city, there is a great potential for earthquake events to occur at any given time. r 336 - o�, •�,� 1 NTERNATIONAL TMIKFNLYM AGFM(NT WELD COUNTY 2016 M 0 LITID OR ISDICiTION AL M"AZTR MLIVIITIGATION PLAN City of Evans Golden Fault Scenario Ground Acceleration Ground motion information derived from Nazus-MH 2.2 arthquake scenario with an epicenter along the Golden Fault with a moment magnitude of 6.5.

Inventory Exposed 1 6�y 343 - flv asYyi INTERNATIONAL FMFxQNO M AGFMEMT All assets located in the City of Evans can be considered at risk from straight-line winds and tornadoes. This includes 20,473 people, or 100% of the city's population, and all buildings and structures within the city. Most structures, including the city's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potentiol Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $641,363,150. Potential losses could be substantial. Prairie Fire According to best available data, there are no historic prairie fires occurring within the City of Evans and no injuries, deaths, property damage or crop damages have been recorded. There is a small area in the central region of the city that are within the medium to highest level on the WUI Risk Index Scale. This means that the potential impact on people and homes from a prairie fire in those areas is medium to high in relationship to the rest of Weld County. This level of risk is derived by combining housing density with predicted flame length. 344 Va INTERNATIONAL EMEAGEN"Y AGmENI WELQ COUNTY 01 IU R I-JURISDIGTIONA HAZARO ON PLAN City of Evans Legend WUI Risk Index Wildland Urban Interface Risk Index _0 Wildland urban interface risk index measures the potential impact an people -8 — Major Roads and their homes from wildfire.

The appraisal value of the assets within these high threat areas is approximately $708,279. When considering assets located in areas of moderate wildfire threat there are 149 structures identified. The appraised value of these assets is approximately $10,389,437. There are no critical facilities in the moderate or high wildfire threat areas. Potential Losses Currently, there is no method for estimating wildfire loss. In most cases, the emergency management community equates potential losses to assets exposed to wildfire as a method of quantifying and comparing potential losses across communities. The exposure data provided in the previous section (Inventory Assets Exposed) provides the clearest picture of potential losses to wildfire in the City of Evans. Public Health Hazard Public health hazards, including epidemics and pandemics, have the potential to cause serious illness and death, especially among those who have compromised immune systems due to age or underlying medical conditions. During the 2015 planning process, pandemic flu was identified as the key public health hazard in the county. Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of public health hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of public health hazards. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, low income families, and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to public health hazards. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, and a high poverty rate can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during public health hazards outbreaks. Populations Vulnerable to Public Health Hazards 0 Age: 65 and Over (/o) o Age: 5 and under (/o) Persons Below PovertyLevel (%) Colorado 10.9 6.8 12.9 City of. Evans 6.1 9.5 19.6 The City of Evans has a lower percentage of elderly residents than does the state of Colorado. A larger percentage of Evans residents are under the age of 5 than the general population of Colorado. There is a much greater percentage of people living below poverty level than the state. Based on these statistics, Evans residents (in general) appear to be more vulnerable to the impacts of public health hazards. That said, future mitigation efforts related to public health hazards should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, young children, live in poverty, or are homeless. Potential Losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for public health hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the City of Evans are exposed to public health hazards. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, young and low income families. Given the lack of historical data in the City of Evans resulting from public health hazards, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost �—LA ;—?* I 346 M f INTERNATIONAL EMEMUNCT MANAGEMENT of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the City of Evans due to public health hazards are currently considered unquantifiable. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the City of Evans to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the City's hazard mitigation program. Local Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the City's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist X Grant Writer X fond Use Planning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities. The table below outlines the City's current capabilities as they relate to land use planning and codes. Yes (Y); No (N); I don't know (IDK) A zoning ordinance Y A hazard -specific ordinance Y Local building codes Y A comprehensive plan / master plan Y A Capital Improvements Plan Y A Stormwater Plan Y A Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) N An Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Y A Long -Term Recovery Plan N Participates in the NAP Y Building codes are one tool that communities use to enhance public safety. For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and 347 INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT codes. The City of Evans has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. Plan Maintenance and Implementation The City of Evans has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the city will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction Strategy The mitigation actions will be reviewed by City Council annually. As part of the plan maintenance process, the City of Evans will continue to City of Evans engage the public in the process of identifying hazard risks and prioritizing mitigation actions. To do so the mitigation plan and the actions identified will be posted to the city website and it will be updated annually as actions and priorities change over time. Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies. The table below lists the specific integration strategies identified by the City of Evans based on the mitigation actions listed in this plan.

Despite its rapid growth, the town has maintained 15 parks and five miles of trails that connect to the regional St. Wain Legacy Trail and the Colorado Front Range Trail System. The Town of Firestone was incorporated in 1908. The Denslow Coal Company owned the land and subdivided the proposed town. At the time of incorporation, the estimated population of Firestone was 75. Firestone has claim to many firsts in the County including the first saloon, telephone central, lumber store and post office. The early 1960's saw the shift beginning from coal mining to natural gas drilling and home building and development in Firestone began on a larger scale. Since the mid-1990s, Firestone has experienced rapid growth in both the residential and commercial sectors. Today, Firestone is home to over 11,000 residents and the town has earned the title of the "Fastest Growing Community" in Colorado between 2000 and 2010, boasting an increase in population of 423% during that time (an increase from 1,909 people to 10,147 people).

For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. The Town of Firestone has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. Plan Maintenance and Implementation The Town of Firestone has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the city will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. 363 COMM Vol INTERNATIONAL !ME WA*" MM1AQM941 Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy The mitigation actions will be reviewed annually both by the police deportment and the Town Board.

Public Health Hazards Public health hazards, including epidemics and pandemics, have the potential to cause serious illness and death, especially among those who have compromised immune systems due to age or underlying medical conditions. During the 2015 planning process, pandemic flu was identified as the key public health hazard in the county. inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of public health hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of public health hazards.

The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to public health hazards. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, and a high poverty rate can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during public health hazards outbreaks. Populations Vulnerable to Public Health Hazards Age: 65 and Over (%) Age: 5 and under (%) Persons Below Poverty Level(%) Colorado 10.9 6.8 12.9 City of Fort Lupton 8.4 8.9 16.6 The City of Fort Lupton has a lower percentage of elderly residents than does the state of Colorado. There is a larger percentage of people under the age of 5 living in the city. There is also a larger percentage of Fort Lupton residents living below poverty level than the general population of Colorado. Based on these statistics, Fort Lupton residents (in general) appear to be vulnerable to the impacts of public health hazards. That said, future mitigation efforts related to public health hazards should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, young children, live in poverty, or are homeless. Potentio! Losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for public health hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the City of Fort Lupton are exposed to public health hazards. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, young and low income families. Given the lack of historical data in the City of Fort Lupton resulting from public health hazards, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the City of Fort Lupton due to public health hazards are currently considered unquantifiable. Drought According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Fort Lupton due to drought. However, there are four reports of drought in southern Weld County. The four drought events all occurred in April of 2002 and March of 2011. There is a great potential for a drought event to occur at any given time. Due to the nature of drought, all jurisdictions within Weld County are expected to be impacted under drought conditions. Agricultural communities are expected to bear the brunt of drought effects in the county. Inventory Exposed Drought will have little to no direct impact on critical facilities or structures in the City of Fort Lupton. Should a drought affect the water available for public water systems or individual wells, the availability of clean drinking water could be compromised. This situation would require emergency actions and could possibly overwhelm local capacities and financial resources. "OK Cm= I 374 �, INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Potentiol losses Although it is unlikely that drought conditions will affect existing buildings, infrastructure, and critical infrastructure, economic livelihoods in the City of Fort Lupton could be negatively impacted due to crop loss, water shortages, and wildfires as a result of drought. Possible losses/impacts to critical facilities include the loss of critical function due to low water supplies. As Fort Lupton continues to grow, it will consider water -saving mitigation activities that will decrease local vulnerability to drought.

Although there is no historic data showing hazardous impacts on the town, there is still great potential for Lightning to occur at any given time. Winter Storm According to NOAA's Storm Events Database, the Town of Frederick has experienced 25 Winter Storms since 1996, On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central and southern Weld County. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. The Town of Frederick is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. Inventory Exposed All assets located in the Town of Frederick can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 10,927 people, or 100% of the town's population, and all buildings and infrastructure within the town. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail 384 - SaY� INTERNATIONAL tMFRGtrm MANAGiMtrrt WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. PotentioI Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the Town of Frederick including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Frederick. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Straight -Line Winds & Tornadoes According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, property damage or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Frederick due to tornadoes. There is record of 1 tornado reported within the town limits between on June 5, 1961. There have been tornadoes reported very close to both the of the Town limits. Tornadoes will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Frederick. According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Frederick due to straight-line winds. On July 2, 1991 a strong wind event was reported to have caused $3,000 in property damage.

Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potentiol tosses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $732,613,942. Potential losses could be substantial.

There are 152 identified structures located in areas with the highest wildfire threat total. The appraisal value of the assets within these high threat areas is approximately $28,087,598. When considering assets located in areas of moderate wildfire threat there are 384 structures identified. The appraised value of these assets is approximately $70,177,649. There is 1 critical facility in the moderate wildfire threat areas and none in the highest wildfire threat areas. Potential Losses Currently, there is no method for estimating wildfire loss. In most cases, the emergency management community equates potential losses to assets exposed to wildfire as a method of quantifying and comparing potential losses across communities. The exposure data provided in the previous section (Inventory Assets Exposed) provides the clearest picture of potential losses to wildfire in the Town of Frederick. Drought According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Frederick due to drought. There are four reports of drought in southern Weld County. The four drought events all occurred in April of 2002 and March of 2011. There is a great potential for a drought event to occur at any given time. Inventory Exposed Drought will have little to no direct impact on critical facilities or structures in the Town of Frederick. Should a drought affect the water available for public water systems or individual wells, the availability of clean drinking water could be compromised. This situation would require emergency actions and could possibly overwhelm local capacities and financial resources. Potential Losses Although it is unlikely that drought conditions will affect existing buildings, infrastructure, and critical infrastructure, economic livelihoods in the Town of Frederick could be negatively impacted due to crop loss, water shortages, and wildfires as a result of drought. Possible losses/impacts to critical facilities include the loss of critical function due to low water supplies. As Frederick continues to grow, it will consider water -saving mitigation activities that will decrease local vulnerability to drought. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the Town of Frederick to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the Town's hazard mitigation program. Local Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the Town's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. a 1392MPT - INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI-)URISDIGTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist X Grant Writer X Lond Use Plonnlnq and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities. The table below outlines the Town's current capabilities as they relate to land use planning and codes. Yes (Y); No (N); I don't know (IDK) A zoning ordinance Y A hazard -specific ordinance Y Local building codes Y A comprehensive plan / master plan Y A Capital Improvements Plan Y A Stormwater Plan Y A Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) Y An Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Y A Long -Term Recovery Plan Y Participates in the NFIP Y Building codes are one tool that communities use to enhance public safety. For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. The Town of Frederick has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. The Town of Frederick has had previous experience receiving, administering, and applying for grants for mitigation and planning -related activities or projects. These include: • Grants: CDBG, FEMA, and FHWA Plan Maintenance and Implementation The Town of Frederick has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the town will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. 393 - Vol INTERNATIONAL I M[A""CV 0AAF&WIMINI Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy The plan is monitored by the Town's leadership team in cooperation with partner agencies, such as the fire district and the Weld County Office of Emergency Management. Town of Frederick As part of the plan maintenance process, the Town of Frederick will continue to engage the public in the process of identifying hazard risks and prioritizing mitigation actions. To do so mitigation actions and priorities will be posted on the town's website for public review and comment. Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies.

Gilcrest was originally the Town of !Nantes. A new community began on the bones of Nantes and was renamed Gilcrest. Gilcrest was incorporated in 1912. Between 1913 and 1975 Greeley's Great Western Sugar Factory operated a sugar beet dump at the Gilcrest railroad station. Gilcrest was also a center for the potatoes that were harvested in the area and stored in town. In recent years oil and gas exploration and production in Weld County has impacted Gilcrest. With the oil and gas industry and other industries moving into Weld County, the Town of Gilcrest is thriving and continues to be a progressive community. Community Profile The following are the overall planning -related goals that the Town of Gilcrest laid out in their Comprehensive Plan: • Creation of a healthy balance of housing, employment, availability of goods and services, recreation, educational and cultural opportunities as the town grows. • Capitalizing on the tremendous growth of Oil and Gas Industry and Renewable Energy sectors. • Maintaining Gilcrest's community character and collectively working to improve upon the overall image of the Town I 449 _ c INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WELD GOUND 016 MU all-JURISDICOT ION AMH A Z A R MM IT I GAT ION PLAN The table below summarizes key demographic and development related characteristics of the Town of Gilcrest.

There are 2 reports of drought in southern Weld County in April of 2002 and March of 2011. There is a great potential for a drought event to occur at any given time. Inventory Exposed Drought will have little to no direct impact on critical facilities or structures in the Town of Gilcrest. Should a drought affect the water available for public water systems or individual wells, the availability of clean drinking water could be compromised. This situation would require emergency actions and could possibly overwhelm local capacities and financial resources. Potential Losses Although it is unlikely that drought conditions will affect existing buildings, infrastructure, and critical infrastructure, economic livelihoods in the Town of Gilcrest could be negatively impacted due to crop loss, water shortages, and wildfires as a result of drought. Possible losses/impacts to critical facilities include the loss of critical function due to low water supplies. As Gilcrest continues to grow, it will consider water -saving mitigation activities that will decrease local vulnerability to drought.

The highly socially vulnerable areas are clustered in the eastern part of the community. Resources and measures to reduce the social determinates of disasters may be most effectively allocated to the east of the City. Moreover, it is critical that the city analyze the individual social vulnerability indicators that make the eastern part of the community stand out. Through ongoing evaluation, the City of Greeley will be able to more effectively reduce local social vulnerability and increase their resilience to hazard events. HAZMAT Based on data supplied bythe Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's (PHMSA) Incident Reports Database there have been 45 reported HAZMAT incidents within the City of Greeley between 1972 and 2015. 422 tell - oI INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Inventory Exposed Two designated nuclear and hazardous materials transportation routes run adjacent the City of Greeley (US 34 and US 85). All structures, natural resources, and people located within one mile of these transportation routes (and railways) are exposed to the impacts of a potential HAZMAT event. Structures, people, and natural resources located outside of a one mile buffer of these routes are also at risk of exposure. Assets and people that are located within one mile of an industrial or commercial fixed site are also at risk of exposure to the impacts of a HAZMAT release. Potential Losses HAZMAT related events occur throughout Weld County every year. The intensity and magnitude of these incidents depend on weather conditions, the location of the event, the time of day, and the process by which the materials are released. Was it raining when the event happened? Were the hazardous materials being transported by rail when they were released or were they at a fixed facility? Did the spill happen during rush hour traffic or in the middle of the night? All of these considerations matter when determining the risk and potential damages associated with a HAZMAT incident. HAZMAT events have the potential to threaten lives and disrupt business activity. Moreover, HAZMAT incidents can cause serious environmental contamination to air, ground, and water sources. Extreme Temperatures According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Greeley due to extreme temperatures. There are two reports of extreme cold temperatures in northwestern and central Weld County on December 16th and 17th, 1996, and February 1, 2011. There is a great potential for extreme temperature events to occur within the region at any given time. Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of extreme temperatures hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of extreme temperatures. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, low income families and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerabilityto extreme temperatures. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, a high poverty rate and/or large numbers of rental properties can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during extreme temperature events. Populations Vulnerable to Extreme Temperatures Age: 65 and Over (%] Persons Below Poverty Level (%) Renter -occupied housing units ( ) Colorado 10.9 12.9 34.5 City of Greeley 10.7 22.9 44.4 The City of Greeley has a slightly lower percentage of elderly residents than does the state of Colorado. The percentage of people living below poverty level in the city much larger than the state of Colorado. In addition a lower percentage of Greeley residents own their homes compared to the general population I 423 I N T E R N A T I O N A L imt*-i kVAAMmFmT of Colorado. Based on these statistics, Greeley residents (in general) appear to be more vulnerable to the impacts of extreme temperatures. That said, future mitigation efforts related to extreme temperature should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, live in poverty or are homeless, or are renters. Potentiol Losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for extreme temperature hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the City of Greeley are exposed to extreme temperatures. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, and low income families. Given the lack of historical data and limited likelihood of structural losses in the City of Greeley resulting from extreme heat or cold, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the City of Greeley due to extreme temperatures are currently considered unquantifiable. Drought According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the City of Greeley due to drought. There are four reports of drought in southern Weld County. The four drought events all occurred in April of 2002 and March of 2011. There is a potential for a drought event to occur at any given time. Inventory Exposed Drought will have little to no direct impact on critical facilities or structures in the City of Greeley. Should a drought affect the water available for public water systems or individual wells, the availability of clean drinking water could be compromised. This situation would require emergency actions and could possibly overwhelm local capacities and financial resources. Potentiol Losses Although it is unlikely that drought conditions will affect existing buildings, infrastructure, and critical infrastructure, economic livelihoods in the City of Greeley could be negatively impacted due to crop loss, water shortages, and wildfires as a result of drought. Possible losses/impacts to critical facilities include the loss of critical function due to low water supplies. As Greeley continues to grow, it will consider water -saving mitigation activities that will decrease local vulnerability to drought. Public health Hazards Public health hazards, including epidemics and pandemics, have the potential to cause serious illness and death, especially among those who have compromised immune systems due to age or underlying medical conditions. During the 2015 planning process, pandemic flu was identified as the key public health hazard in the county. Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of public health hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of public health hazards. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, low income families, and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to public health hazards. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly 4 - ~ 424 INTERNATIONAL [[AERC,ENC MANAGEMENT residents, young children, and a high poverty rate can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during public health hazards outbreaks. Populations Vulnerable to Public Health Hazards Age: 65 and Over (%) Age: 5 and under (%) Persons Below Poverty Level(%) Colorado 10.9 6.8 12.9 City of Greeley 10.7 7.8 22.9 The City of Greeley has a slightly lower percentage of elderly residents than the state of Colorado. A slightly larger percentage of Greeley residents are under the age of 5 than the general population of Colorado. There is a much greater percentage of people living below poverty level than the state. Based on these statistics, Greeley residents (in general) appear to be more vulnerable to the impacts of public health hazards. That said, future mitigation efforts related to public health hazards should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, young children, live in poverty, or are homeless. Potential Losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for public health hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the City of Greeley are exposed to public health hazards. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, young and low income families. Given the lack of historical data in the City of Greeley resulting from public health hazards, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the City of Greeley due to public health hazards are currently considered unquantifiable. Severe Storm (Hail, Lightning, Winter Storm) Nail According to the best available data there are no reported injuries, deaths, or crop damage in the City of Greeley. There have been 74 hail events reported within the city limits and several hail events that occurred close to the city limits. There has been $9,000 in property damage reported as a result of these hail incidents. Based on the historic data showing hazardous impacts on the city, there is a great potential for hail events to occur at any given time. 425 x - �c,o� �� INTERNATIONAL Eli ERUNCYM A[.EMEME as I WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Legend City of Greeley Historical Hail Events Historical Hail Events Diameter (inches) Reported historical events occuring between 1955 - 2014, Q City of Greeley o 0,75 - 1.00 Due to the large geographic ectem of Weld County, this information is best viewed using the web lurisdletlons ® 1.01 - 2,00 map developed for use during and after the hazard mitigation planning process.

Source: NOAA's NationaWeather Servile Storm Pred' re u.r.ora, Lightning According to the best available data no deaths have occurred within the City of Greeley due to Lightning. There have been 8 recorded lightning incidents between 1996 and 2009 within the city limits, causing $143,000 in property damage and $6,000 in crop damage. On June 18, 2009 a lightning incident caused injury to one person. Based on the historic data showing hazardous impacts on the city, there is a great potential for Lightning to occur at any given time. Winter Storm According to NOAA's Storm Events Database, the City of Greeley has experienced 25 Winter Storms since 1996. On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central and southern Weld County. There were no deaths, injuries, or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. The City of Greeley is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. inventory Exposed All assets located in the City of Greeley can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 98,596 people, or 100% of the town's population, and all buildings and infrastructure within the city. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most r I 426 +� INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MAKAGEMEHT structures, including the city's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Potential Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the City of Greeley including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the City of Greeley. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the City of Greeley to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the City's hazard mitigation program. Locol Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the City's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist X Grant Writer I I I X Land Use Planning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities. The table below outlines the City of Greeley's current capabilities as they relate to land use planning and codes Yes (Y); No (N); I don't know (IDK) A zoning ordinance Y A hazard -specific ordinance IDK 427 - INTERNATIONAL !A{EIIGl NCY MAf1AGf MfNf Local building codes y A comprehensive plan / master plan y A Capital Improvements Plan y A Stormwater Plan IDK A Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) y An Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) y A Long -Term Recovery Plan y Participates in the NFIP y Building codes are one tool that communities use to enhance public safety. For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. The City of Greeley has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. The City of Greeley has had previous experience receiving, administering, and applying for grants for mitigation and planning -related activities or projects. These include: • Grants: HMGP, EMPG, DR-4145, CDBG Plan Maintenance and Implementation The City of Greeley has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the city will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy Each mitigation action item has a staff member assigned responsibility. Each staff member will follow regular departmental procedures in completing mitigation action items that are currently funded. The City's Emergency Manager will monitor progress of the action items on an annual basis as well as seek out funding opportunities for mitigation actions items that are not currently funded. City of Greeley As part of the plan maintenance process, the City of Greeley will continue to engage the public in the process of identifying hazard risks and prioritizing mitigation actions. To do so typically any mitigation action items will have to be approved by the planning commission and/or city council; these review meetings will provide adequate opportunity for public comment and participation. Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies. The City of Greeley did not integrate the 2009 HMP into other local planning mechanisms. The table below lists the specific integration strategies identified by the City of Greeley based on the mitigation actions listed in this plan. 428 - :� INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY MAt"IMENT Jurisdiction Strategy "The city will consider updating its zoning ordinance to address our high risk City of Greeley hazards.

The city of Greeley provides resources (man power, sand bags) to this property during flooding events as it is directly abuts city limits and city crews are typically mitigating road closures next to this property. The city attempted to purchase/acquire this property through the h4MGP process in 2014 but wa unsuccessful due I to valuation Ic Iiscrep ncies. RECOMMENQATION: Reduce or eliminate severe repetitive flood losses on this property. ACTION: Continue to work with property owner on flood mitigation efforts and consider acquisition if conditions allow and are favorable to all parties. mun nageme ISSUE: As a nationally significant ecosystem, portions of the Cache la Poudre River that flow through Greeley and areas adjacent to Greeley, years of channelization of the river and neglect and invasion of non-native weeds and vegetation have significantly reduced habitat loss. Restoration of wetland and riparian habitats can provide critical floodplain and river corridor connections, habitat for state-Iisted threatened and endangered species, and international bird habitat. The COE has identified a total of nine (9) parcels to rehabilitate, of which five (5] are identified as a first phase for improvements. Out of these 5 parcels, 1 or 2 may be addressed in the first year of a multi -year project. Although the Project doesn't specifically address flood control, a desired outcome is addressing the river channel itself and pres g/pl� ag for the inevitable future flooding of the corridor and water flows. RECOMMENDATION: This Project is under review for City Council consideration to approve a Project Partner Agreement. ntal-restorat NCIE PINT I [Michael;Baker RECOMMENDATION DATE: 2015 TARGET COMPLETION DATE: 2021 ISSUE: The Cache la Poudre River is known from several studies including a 1999 Army Corps of Engineers study, to have sediment building up in it and therefore over time has been silting in and losing capacity. A program to clean the river of its sandbars, sediment and remove some vegetation is necessary to help convey flood flows through the City of Greeley. This will help especially mountain snow melt events that happen annually and fill the main channel most years and tend to cause minor to moderate flooding in many areas. RECOMMENDATION: To develop a program to annually evaluate maintaining the Poudre River by removing any sand bars and any unwanted vegetation that are restricting main channel flows. The program likely would take several years to work through the City limits, and then would cycle back to the beginning and evaluate the corridor continuously as needed. Bridges also need to be evaluated, but need to be done annually to ensure they are clear. ACTION: Clean sediment and vegetation from the Cache la Poudre main channel to restore main channel flow capacity. LEAD AGENCY: City of Greeley Public Works i Department, 970-350-9795 SUPPORT AGENCIES: Army Corps of Engineers PROGRESS MILESTONES: Removal of all sandbars, restrictions and unwanted vegetation. PRIORITY: High LOCATION: City of Greeley RECOMMENDATION DATE: 2015 TARGET COMPLETION DATE: 2021 _ISSUE: The Cache la Poudre River floodplain model shows that the river overtops the Highway 85 bridge near the Greeley Water Pollution Control Facility. Past flooding events of less than 100 year events have also demonstrated that this bridge is easily overtopped at less than a 25 year storm event. When this bridge is overtopped all other roads except 591h Avenue that run north and south are underwater. With Highway 85 flooded greatly impedes the ability for people, commerce, and emergency vehicles to navigate the city and reach citizens on the northern area of the city. River flood events typically last for many weeks so impacts to the community can be very impactful and devastating. .RECOMMENDATION: Replace the Highway 85 Bypass bridge over the Cache la Poudre River. ACTION: Replace the bridge with a higher capacity bride including some channel improvements to improve capacity of the river at this location.

IE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL Over the past 150-years the Poudre River has been significantly modified by human activity, particularly along the reach from Fern Avenue to 47'h Avenue. These modifications include channelization, encroachment, soil berms along the river banks, gravel mining, floodplain disconnection, and river relocation. As a result of these modifications, the city experiences significant flooding from small to medium sized hydrologic events, on the order of 15-30 year recurrence frequency. Most notably the floods of 1983, 1999, and 2014 have caused significant property damage to the city. The city's largest exposure to riverine flooding is along the reach from Ash Avenue to 11t" Avenue, or approximately 2.3 miles. In the spring of 2014, a large spring runoff event overtopped the 61h Avenue river berm and inundated approximately 46-acres of commercial -industrial area. Development restrictions associated with the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) encumber a significant amount of developed property between 11`h Avenue and Ash Avenue. This includes residential neighborhoods, commercial businesses, and industrial businesses. It is estimated that every road along the river in this area would be flooded in a 100-year event, including the US Highway 85 Bypass. Further, there is a large flow split at the US-85 Bypass that proceeds to the east along E. 81h Street (also known as SH-263) and does not have a defined return flow -path to the river. The Effective FEMA river model was completed in 1979. This model and map will be superseded by the Weld County Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) which is anticipated to become Effective in January 2016. The DFIRM has incorporated flood map changes resulting from the 2003/2006 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) flood study which was performed using the USACE HEC-2 model. The City also worked with the USACE on a General Investigation (GI) Study along the Poudre River through Greeley; this study occurred from 2005 — 2014. However the City did not proceed with the flood mitigation proposal presented to the City by the USACE. Further, the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) is currently funding a re -study of the Poudre River from the confluence with South Platte River upstream through Fort Collins. This study is being performed under FEMA's RiskMap program and will incorporate the CWCB %:-foot floodway rule. The results of the RiskMap study will likely change the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) findings for the Poudre River and the RiskMap flood model may become the FEMA Effective model for the Poudre River. It is anticipated that in the future there will be a regulatory Floodway along portions of E. 81h Street. RECOMMENDATION: This project is intended to produce a comprehensive Poudre River flood mitigation master plan document for the following river reaches: • Greeley Urban Reach: Specifically from the Ogilvy Ditch head structure (1,400-feet downstream from Ash Avenue) and proceeding upstream to 21st Avenue; approximately 17,600-feet along the Poudre River. • East 8th Street Flow Split: Specifically from the flow split off.the main channel at US Highway 85 then proceeding east (downstream) along 8th Street until the flow split returns to the main river channel, approximately 7,000 — 8,000-feet along E: 8th Street.' This project should produce a Master Plan along the Poudre River to guide river maintenance, reduce flood losses, and potentially remove properties from the FEMA 100-yr floodplain. ;The Master Plan document will be used by the City to guide a river channel maintenance program, identify and prioritize flood mitigation projects, provide scientific basis for granting opportunities (Federal, State, and Other) to fund capital projects, arrd'facilitate th rereefinement of the 'effect ive`FEMA river model Michael Baker WELD COUNTY 201b MULTIDURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN along the study reach.

Located adjacent to Interstate 76, Hudson is surrounded by farms and other agricultural and energy - related industries. Additionally, the town is a "bedroom community" for persons employed in the Denver and Brighton areas.

The medium -high socially vulnerable areas are in the north western part of the community. Resources and measures to reduce the social determinates of disasters may be most effectively allocated to the northwest area of the Town. Moreover, it is critical that the town analyze the individual social vulnerability indicators that make the northwestern part of the community stand out. Through ongoing evaluation, the Town of Hudson will be able to more effectively reduce local social vulnerability and increase their resilience to hazard events. HAZMAT Based on data supplied by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's (PHMSA) Incident Reports Database there have been no reported HAZMAT incidents within the Town of Hudson between 1972 and 2015. Inventory Exposed Interstate 76 runs through the Town of Hudson and is a designated nuclear and hazardous materials transportation route. All structures, natural resources, and people located within one mile of these I 442 - I INTERNATIONAL [MERCEnCY MUN�C[MErrr transportation routes (and railways) are exposed to the impacts of a potential HAZMAT event. Structures, people, and natural resources located outside of a one mile buffer of these routes are also at risk of exposure. Assets and people that are located within one mile of an industrial or commercial fixed site are also at risk of exposure to the impacts of a HAZMAT release. Potentiol tosses HAZMAT related events occur throughout Weld County every year. The intensity and magnitude of these incidents depend on weather conditions, the location of the event, the time of day, and the process by which the materials are released. Was it raining when the event happened? Were the hazardous materials being transported by rail when they were released or were they at a fixed facility? Did the spill happen during rush hour traffic or in the middle of the night? All of these considerations matter when determining the risk and potential damages associated with a HAZMAT incident. HAZMAT events have the potential to threaten lives and disrupt business activity. Moreover, HAZMAT incidents can cause serious environmental contamination to air, ground, and water sources. Severe Storm (Hail, Lightning, Winter Storm) Hail According to the best available data there are no reported injuries, deaths, property, or crop damage in the Town of Hudson. There have been 7 hail event reported within the town limits and several hail events that occurred close to the town limits.

Based on the historic data showing hazardous impacts on the town, there is a great potential for Lightning to occur at any given time. Winter Storm According to the best available data there are no reported injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damage in the Town of Hudson from winter storm events. There have been four winter storm events reported within the town limits and several winter storm events that occurred less than one mile from the town limits. Based on historic data showing hazardous impacts on the town, there is a great potential for winter storm events to occur at any given time. Inventory Exposed All assets located in the Town of Hudson can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 2,569 people, or 100% of the town's population, and all buildings and infrastructure within the town. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most �i�r I 444 BakerMichael I N T E R N A T I O N A L EMERGENCY M,WM.tMM structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Potential Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the Town of Hudson including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Hudson. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Straight -Line Winds and Tornadoes According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Hudson due to tornadoes. There have been 2 tornadoes reported within the town limits and multiple tornadoes very close to the borders of the town limits. On June 8, 1958 a tornado was reported within the town limits that caused $3,000 in property damage. Tornadoes will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Hudson. According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or damages have been recorded within the Town of Hudson due to straight-line winds. There have been 2 high wind events recorded within the town limits. Straight-line winds remain a highly likely occurrence for Hudson.

Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potentiol Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stern from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $105,540,448. Potential losses could be substantial. - R�Rn�ssi� I 446 .- M.- EMERGENCYN NAGEMENT Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the Town of Hudson to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the town's hazard mitigation program. Local Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the City's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist I I I X Grant Writer I I I X *FM and the FPA duties ore the responsibility of the Town Administrator Land Use Planning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities. The table below outlines the City of Greeley's current capabilities as they relate to land use planning and codes Yes (Y); No (N); I don't know (IDK) A zoning ordinance Y A hazard -specific ordinance Y Local building codes Y A comprehensive plan / master plan Y A Capital Improvements Plan Y A Stormwater Plan IDK A Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) N An Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Y A Long -Term Recovery Plan N Participates in the NFIP Y Hudson is in the process of updating their Comprehensive Land Use Plan, their All -Hazards Emergency Operations Plan, and their Crisis Action Guide. The town's new Fire Chief, Ken Gabrielson (Hudson Fire Protection District), and new Public Safety Director, Brent Flot (eventual Town Marshal), will be participating in the EOP / CAG / Hazard Mitigation Plan Update projects, along with the town's utility partners. Michael Baker 447 B� INTERNATIQNAL wuaercr w[Na[u[wr WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Building codes are one tool that communities use to enhance public safety. For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. The Town of Hudson has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. Plan Maintenance and Implementation Hudson has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how Hudson will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction I Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy Town staff, along with participation from our town's emergency first responders and overall stakeholders group (when applicable), will monitor, evaluate, and update our Emergency Operations Plan, Crisis Action Guide and Hazard Mitigation Plan on an on -going basis. Our mitigation actions will be reviewed by Town of Hudson our Board of Trustees and Town Administration on an annual basis. Alterations to our Emergency Operations Plan, Crisis Action Guide and Hazard Mitigation Plan will be posted on the town's website and in the town's newsletter (when appropriate) to keep the public aware of how they can participate. Substantive alterations will be made available to our larger stakeholder group. Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies. The Town of Hudson did not integrate the 2009 HMP into other local planning mechanisms. The table below lists the specific integration strategies identified by Hudson based on the mitigation actions listed in this plan. Jurisdiction Strategy "The Town of Hudson is currently updating its Comprehensive Plan, Emergency Operations Plan and Crisis Action Guide. We will include the necessary information from the Hazard Mitigation Plan Update into those documents, where applicable. Any hazard mitigation issues identified as on increased risk Town of Hudson item will be addressed accordingly. Hazard mitigation actions requiring increased attention will be integrated into our on -going Capitol Improvements Plan and be given the appropriate priority status. Capital Improvement Plan projects are identified and listed in our annual budget for citizen review and Board of Trustees approval.

Straight -Line Winds and Tornadoes According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Keenesburg due to tornadoes. There have been tornadoes reported very close to the borders of the town limits. Tornadoes will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Keenesburg.

Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $42,545,735. Potential losses could be substantial. Severe Storm (Hail, Lightning, Winter Storm) Hail According to the best available data there are no reported injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damage in the Town of Keenesburg.

Winter Storm According to NOAA's Storm Events Database, the Town of Keenesburg has experienced 25 Winter Storms since 1996. On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central and southern Weld County. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. The Town of Keenesburg is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. Inventory Exposed All assets located in the Town of Keenesburg can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 1,127 people, or 100% of the town's population, and all buildings and infrastructure within the town. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out.

Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Keenesburg. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms.

For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. Town of Kersey has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. Plan Maintenance and Implementation The Town of Kersey has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the town will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process.

As such, they chose not to join the NFIP. Currently, because they do not participate in the NFIP, flood insurance is unavailable to building owners. However, as communities grow and annex land from the County, they may be acquiring land that is flood prone or subject to drainage problems. A community can join the NFIP by adopting an ordinance and agreeing to regulate development in flood prone areas, as indicated on a FEMA-provided map. Where there is no map, no enforcement is necessary ---- but ---- having adopted the ordinance will allow building owners to purchase flood insurance if they so choose. RECOMMENDATION: Communities should contact the CWCB and ask to join the NFIP ACTION:: Communities with NSFHA or Never Mapped should consider joining NFIP for the availability of insurance, especially if growing/annexing rapidly. In cases where there is a known watercourse within the existing or expanding community boundaries, the community should request CWCB and/or FEMA to develop a floodplain map that can be used for regulatory and insurance purposes.

This analysis was conducted separately from that of the county -wide vulnerability assessment to specifically focus on the population, structures, infrastructure, and other assets unique to Town of LaSalle. The results of the social vulnerability assessment are displayed on the map below. On the map, social vulnerability is represented at the census tract level by 5 classes of vulnerability: Low (bottom 20% of the county), Medium -Low, Medium, Medium -High, and High (top 20% of the county).

Over time, it is critical that the town monitor their social vulnerability levels and work to decrease the factors that play a role in elevated risk and vulnerability to hazards. A closer analysis of the individual social vulnerability indicators within the town will give local emergency managers, planners, and stakeholders a clear idea of which social vulnerability factors have the largest negative effect on the community and it resiliency. Drought According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of LaSalle due to drought. There are four reports of drought in southern Weld County. The four drought events all occurred in April of 2002 and March of 2011. There is a great potential for a drought event to occur at any given time. Inventory Exposed Drought will have little to no direct impact on critical facilities or structures in the Town of LaSalle. Should a drought affect the water available for public water systems or individual wells, the availability of clean �I o c a�+- t 486 •- FTT 1 �. INTERNATIONAL [WAult Y[Y MAXAG tt,1t11T drinking water could be compromised. This situation would require emergency actions and could possibly overwhelm local capacities and financial resources. Potential Losses Although it is unlikely that drought conditions will affect existing buildings, infrastructure, and critical infrastructure, economic livelihoods in the Town of LaSalle could be negatively impacted due to crop loss, water shortages, and wildfires as a result of drought. Possible losses/impacts to critical facilities include the loss of critical function due to low water supplies. As LaSalle continues to grow, it will consider water -saving mitigation activities that will decrease local vulnerability to drought. Extreme Temperatures According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of LaSalle due to extreme temperatures. There are two reports of extreme cold temperatures in central and southern Weld County on December 16-17, 1996. There is a great potential for extreme temperature events to occur at any given time. Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of extreme temperatures hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of extreme temperatures. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, low income families and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to extreme temperatures. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, a high poverty rate and/or large numbers of rental properties can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during extreme temperature events. Populations Vulnerable to Extreme Temperatures Age: 65 and Over (%) Persons Below Poverty Level (%) Renter -occupied housing units (%) Colorado 10.9 12.9 34.5 Town of LaSalle 12.7 13.4 24.9 The Town of LaSalle has a higher percentage of elderly residents than does the state of Colorado. This is also true for the percentage of people living below poverty level in the Town. A slight larger percentage of LaSalle residents own their homes than the general population of Colorado. Based on these statistics, LaSalle residents (in general) do not appear to be acutely vulnerable to the impacts of extreme temperatures. That said, future mitigation efforts related to extreme temperature should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, live in poverty or are homeless, or are renters. Potential losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for extreme temperature hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the Town of LaSalle are exposed to extreme temperatures. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, and low income families. Given the lack of historical data and limited likelihood of structural losses in the Town of LaSalle resulting from extreme heat or cold, FZSTM'-�? 487 VT � INTERNATIONAL [Mtft"MCY MMAGKMEW and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the Town of LaSalle due to extreme temperatures are currently considered unquantifiable. Public Health Hazards Public health hazards, including epidemics and pandemics, have the potential to cause serious illness and death, especially amongthose who have compromised immune systems due to age or underlying medical conditions. During the 2015 planning process, pandemic flu was identified as the key public health hazard in the county. Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of public health hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of public health hazards. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, low income families, and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to public health hazards. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, young children, and a high poverty rate can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during public health hazards outbreaks. Populations Vulnerable to Public Health Hazards Age: 65 and Over (%) Age: 5 and under (%) Persons Below PovertyLevel (%) Colorado 10.9 6.8 12.9 Town of LaSalle 12.7 7.0 13.5 The Town of LaSalle has a slightly lower percentage of elderly residents than the state of Colorado. A slightly larger percentage of LaSalle residents are under the age of 5 than the general population of Colorado. There is a slightly greater percentage of people living below poverty level than the state. Based on these statistics, LaSalle residents (in general) do not appear to be acutely vulnerable to the impacts of public health hazards. That said, future mitigation efforts related to public health hazards should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, young children, live in poverty, or are homeless.

There has been 1 recorded lightning incident on June 8, 1996 within the town limits, causing $1,000 in property damage. Based on the historic data showing hazardous impacts on the town, there is a great potential for Lightning to occur at any given time. Winter Storm According to the best available data, the Town of LaSalle has experienced 25 Winter Storms since 1996. On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central and southern Weld County. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. The Town of LaSalle is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. INTERNATIONAL srataOEIICr wwwaaraerlr Inventory Exposed All assets located in the Town of LaSalle can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 2,047 people, or 100% of the town's population, and all buildings and infrastructure within the city. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Potential Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the Town of LaSalle including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of LaSalle. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. :►,rAl•1-rI Based on data supplied by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's (PHMSA) Incident Reports Database there have been 8 reported HAZMAT incidents within the Town of LaSalle between 1972 and 2015. Inventory Exposed US 85 runs through the Town of LaSalle and is a designated nuclear and hazardous materials transportation route. All structures, natural resources, and people located within one mile of these transportation routes (and railways) are exposed to the impacts of a potential HAZMAT event. Structures, people, and natural resources located outside of a one mile buffer of these routes are also at risk of exposure. Assets and people that are located within one mile of an industrial or commercial fixed site are also at risk of exposure to the impacts of a HAZMAT release. Potential Losses HAZMAT related events occur throughout Weld County every year. The intensity and magnitude of these incidents depend on weather conditions, the location of the event, the time of day, and the process by which the materials are released. Was it raining when the event happened? Were the hazardous materials being transported by rail when they were released or were they at a fixed facility? Did the spill happen during rush hour traffic or in the middle of the night? All of these considerations matter when determining the risk and potential damages associated with a HAZMAT incident. HAZMAT events have the potential to threaten lives and disrupt business activity. Moreover, HAZMAT incidents can cause serious environmental contamination to air, ground, and water sources.

Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potential Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $69,447,406. Potential losses could be substantial. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the Town of LaSalle to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the town's hazard mitigation program. Loco! Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the town's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist X Grant Writer X Land Use Planning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction.

For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. Town of LaSalle has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. Plan Maintenance and Implementation The Town of LaSalle has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the town will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy The town will pass resolutions with annual review Town of LaSalle Public comments will be solicited on on annual basis or whenever changes to mitigation actions and/or priorities occur Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies.

Winter Storm According to NOAA's Storm Events Database, the Town of Mead has experienced 25 Winter Storms since 1996. On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central and southern Weld County. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. The Town of Mead is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. inventory Exposed All assets located in the Town of Mead can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 3,405 people, or 100% of the town's population and all buildings and infrastructure within the Town. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail I 501 - R� INTERNATIONAL tMIRMIOCT UAKOasr. EW but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Potential Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the Town of Mead including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Mead. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Straight -Line Winds & Tornadoes According to NOAA's Storm Events Database, no injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Mead due to tornadoes. On May 8, 2003 there was a tornado within the town of Meads corporate limits. There have been tornadoes reported very close to both the eastern and southern borders of the Town limits. Tornadoes will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Mead. According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Mead due to straight-line winds. On June 12, 1994 there were high winds reported within the town limits that incurred property damages.

Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potentiol Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $340,245,966. Potential losses could be substantial. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the Town of Mead to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the Town's hazard mitigation program. Local Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the town's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist X Grant writer X Land Use Planning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities.

For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. The Town of Mead has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. Plan Maintenance and Implementation The Town of Mead has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the town will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy "Our mitigation action plan will be reviewed and updated if needed by our Town Manager and Public Works Operations Manager on on annual basis. The Board of Trustees will review the plan anytime it is changed and anytime a new Trustee joins the Board." Town of Mead "Any change to the plan will be posted to our website and at Town Hall in the Board Packet for the meeting at which the changes will be considered. Members of the community may contact staff before the meeting or speak up during the time for public comment at the Board of Trustees meeting." Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies. The Town of Ault did not integrate the 2009 HMP into other local planning mechanisms. The table below lists the specific integration strategies identified by the Town of Mead based on the mitigation actions listed in this plan. Jurisdiction Strategy "We will identify hazards when we update our comprehensive plan and integrate Town of Mead mitigation actions into our operations, maintenance, and strategic development plans." w � I 505 a' INTERNATIONAL IM1AUNCV MMu161M111T 44v,.d`i,ry.

These principles serve as a framework for organizing planning, goals, policies, and recommended actions to help the community implement its vision over time. The town's guiding principles are as follows: • A strong, diversified economic base • A vibrant downtown that functions as the heart of the community • A complete and highly accessible system of parks, open space, trails, and recreational opportunities • A distinct community identity that reflects Milliken's cultural, archaeological, historical, and agricultural resources • A fiscally sustainable pattern of development • A diverse mix of housing types to meet the needs of residents of all ages, incomes, and abilities • A safe and disaster resilient community • A well-connected community Milliken is committed to becoming a safer and more disaster resilient community —building on the strength and resolve demonstrated by Town residents and many community partners in the wake of the September 2013 flooding. The Town will continue its ongoing efforts to recover and rebuild from the 2013 flooding, while also seeking to minimize risk to life and property in light of possible future natural or human -caused disasters. Ongoing collaboration and communication with first responders and residents and a focus on designing new infrastructure to more readily withstand potential hazard events will increase the Town's ability to respond to and recover from future events. — Envision Milliken, Town of Milliken Comprehensive Plan Community Profile The Town of Milliken was incorporated in 1910. Milliken is approximately 5.7 square miles with no large bodies of water. The town is primarily a farming community and sits six miles east of Interstate 25 in the western part of Weld County between the Town of Mead and the City of Greeley. A large part of Milliken's planning area is part of a single Planned Unit Development (PUD)—the Centennial Master Plan —that is being developed incrementally overtime. Currently, some portions of the original PUD are now being rezoned from industrial to multifamily residential use. Agricultural uses make up a large portion of the overall land use mix in the Town. Preserving and protecting Milliken's agricultural heritage continues to be a major priority for the community. As the town continues to grow, it will be important to balance the need for more land for greenfield development with preserving and protecting agricultural landscapes and uses. Some of Milliken's key planning concerns include: • Population growth: Milliken has seen large amounts of growth since the 1990s, the majority of which occurred between 1998 and 2005, as the Town increased in population from around 2,000 I 511 g� INTERNATIONAL FMFf41 CV MMAWMfMT W CL QXOUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN residents to over 5,200. This growth is predicted to continue in the future, which raises questions about whether the town has the land, infrastructure, and resources necessary to support a projected population increase of approximately 4,000 people in the next 15 years. • A young, but aging population: Milliken is a relatively young community compared to the rest of Weld County and to Colorado. Overall, the Town has a larger population of young people and a smaller population of older adults. The majority of Milliken's population is under the age of 19. However, the residents of Milliken are getting older, as growth in new residents decreases and the existing population ages. • Growing Hispanic & Latino community: While the majority of the population identifies as being white, there is a high concentration of residents of Hispanic or Latino origin living in Milliken.

This analysis was conducted separately from that of the county -wide vulnerability assessment to specifically focus on the population, structures, infrastructure, and other assets unique to the Town of Milliken. The results of the social vulnerability assessment are displayed on the map below. On the map, social vulnerability is represented at the census tract level by 5 classes of vulnerability: Low (bottom 20% of the 513 - p, INTERNATIONAL !MlIIGl11[Y MwAGlMeMT WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI-jURISDIGTI0NAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN county), Medium -Low, Medium, Medium -High, and High (top 20% of the county).

There is also a pocket of highly socially vulnerable residents in the north east portion of the town. A closer look at the individual social vulnerability indicators within Milliken will give local emergency managers, planners, and stakeholders an even clearer picture of where resources should be prioritized in order to reduce vulnerability in the town. Over time, the town should continue to monitor their social vulnerability as demographic, economic, and housing related conditions change. Severe Storm (Hail, Lightning, Winter Storm) Hail 514 INTERNATIONAL [YIxMiM[1 YAMAGFYFMT According to the best available data there are no reported injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damage in the Town of Milliken. There were several hail events that occurred within the town limits as well as several events less than one mile from the town limits, none of which reported injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damage.

There were no injuries, deaths, property damage, or crop damage reported. Despite limited reporting of lightning strike events, there is potential for lightning to occur at any given time within the Town of Milliken. Winter Storm According to the best available data, the Town of Milliken has experienced 25 Winter Storms since 1996. On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central and southern Weld County. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. The Town of Milliken is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. I 515 INTERNATIONAL [MENU NCV MANAGlM AWT Inventory Exposed All assets located in the Town of Milliken can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 6,091 people, or 100% of the Town's population and all buildings and infrastructure within the town. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Potentio! Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the Town of Milliken including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence forthe Town of Milliken. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Straight -Line Winds & Tornadoes According to the best available data, 78 injuries, one death, $147,000 property damage, and no crop damages have been recorded within and near the Town of Milliken due to tornadoes. There have been 5 tornadoes in the Town of Milliken between 1991 and 2008. The most severe being a tornado that occurred on May 22, 2008. This tornado traveled in a path north to south east and caused damage to not only the Town of Milliken but also the towns of Windsor, Platteville, Gilcrest, Timnath, and the City of Greeley. There have been tornadoes reported very close to the Northern, eastern and southern borders of the Town limits as well. Tornadoes will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Milliken. According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Milliken due to straight-line winds. On July 23, 1981 there were high winds reported within the town limits. There have been straight-line winds reported very close to the Northern, eastern and southern borders of the Town limits as well.

This includes 6,091 people, or 100% of the town's population and all buildings and structures within the County. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potential Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $265,987,214. Potential losses could be substantial. Flood In September 2013, Milliken experienced a devastating flooding event. Fifteen inches of rain fell in the region within a two-day period. This caused the town's three rivers, the Little and Big Thompson Rivers and the South Platte River, to reach flood stage levels. Below is a summary of the flood event provided by the town: "The flooding impacted a large section of town, and forced the evacuation of residents of a number of neighborhoods, including the town's two mobile home parks. Forty three of the mobile homes were destroyed or severely damaged. The town submitted grant applications to acquire both mobile home parks, but no funding has been awarded at this point. The floodwaters also damaged important roadways. During the floods, Milliken was essentially surrounded by water, making leaving or entering the town by road impossible. Sections of CR 23 and CR 46 were severely damaged and have yet to be fully repaired. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported in town as a result of the flooding. Sewer backups and failures occurred as a result of the flooding, both of which have since been replaced or retrofitted."

Losses Currently, there is no method for estimating wildfire loss. In most cases, the emergency management community equates potential losses to assets exposed to wildfire as a method of quantifying and comparing potential losses across communities. The exposure data provided in the previous section (Inventory Assets Exposed) provides the clearest picture of potential losses to wildfire in the Town of Milliken. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of Milliken to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the Town's hazard mitigation program. Local Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the Town's current capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist X Grant Writer X Lond Use Plonning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities.

In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. The Town of Milliken has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. The Town of Milliken has had previous experience receiving, administering, and applying for grants for mitigation and planning -related activities or projects. These include: • Grants: HMP, PDM, Public Assistance; • Technical Assistance: CDBG-DR }Manning Grant; • Other Funding Opportunities: CD8G-DR, Natural Disaster Infrastructure Plan Maintenance and Implementation The Town of Milliken has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the town will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy Our mitigation actions will be reviewed by Town Staff and the Town Board on an annual basis. Town of Milliken The Town will publicly announce changes to the Mitigation Plan and Updates on the Town's Website and Newsletter. Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Since the Town of Milliken's comprehensive plan was last updated in 2010, the community was heavily impacted by the 2013 flood. In response to the flood and other growth related issues, the Town kicked off a Comprehensive Plan and Resiliency Update process ("Envision Milliken") in early 2015. The Envision :ram: 1523 "- - o•�" INTERNATIONAL [M[RG[/KY MANAG[MEMT Milliken process provided an opportunity to check in and ensure the updated plan is aligned with the community's interests and overall vision for the town, as well as to identify priorities for implementation. Envision Milliken builds on the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, as well as a number of other plans and studies completed by the town, including the Downtown Design Guidelines (2014); Housing Needs Assessment (2014); Transportation Master Plan (2008); A Plan for the South Platte River Corridor (2013); Water and Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update (2014); and Johnstown -Milliken Park, Trails, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan (2003). The risk assessment used in the Weld County Hazard Mitigation Plan was also leveraged during the comprehensive planning process. To further illustrate the town's commitment to the integration of hazards and land use planning, Milliken's Comprehensive Plan articulates the following focus areas in its plan element related to creating a "Safe and Disaster Resilient Community": • Directing future growth and investment away from hazard prone areas • Minimizing risk and the effects of future hazard events on essential infrastructure • Promoting emergency preparedness • Improving communication • Increasing community awareness of potential risks In response to the 2013 Colorado floods, Milliken convened a committee known as BOOST (Building on our Strengths and Traditions) to consider the town's long-term flood recovery needs. At the end of a nearly year -long process, the committee released recommendations in four categories: economic development, emergency preparedness, housing and infrastructure, and parks, education, recreation, and culture. To date, these recommendations have not been considered or approved by the Town Board. Instead, they are being incorporated into the update of the comprehensive plan, so that the document can better address and promote the resilience of Milliken and its community. Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies. The table below lists the specific integration strategies, in addition to the integration of the Weld County Hazard Mitigation Plan with Envision Milliken, identified by the town based on the mitigation actions listed in this plan. Jurisdiction Strategy "The Town will continue to update its zoning ordinances and floodploin regulations to address our highest risk areas in the community."

As a key railroad stop, it became a local shipping point for cattle, sheep, potatoes, beans, and sugar beets. Pierce was the second station in Weld County on the Denver Pacific Railroad in 1869 and had a section house, watertank and siding. The town was named after General John Pierce who was the surveyor general for the Colorado Territory who later became the 4th President of the D.P.R.R. Today, Pierce is described as a rural agricultural community along U.S Highway 85, north of Greeley.

Although this is not a high level of vulnerability, it is important that the town take efforts to understand what elements of the social vulnerability index contribute the most to their slightly elevated score. In doing so, the town will be able to manage those risk factors and reduce their social vulnerability over time. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the Town of Pierce to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the town's hazard mitigation program. Loco! Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff.

For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and codes. Town of Pierce has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards.

The community is committed to fostering a strong local economy and wishes to develop into a full -service community given its easy access to DIA and 1-25." — Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan (2015) Platteville wishes to foster its reputation as a Town where citizens can live, work, and run a business in a safe environment. The old town area serves as a vital center for the community, providing churches, parks, ball fields, library, museums, and Town Hall. For a town of its size, there are ample recreational opportunities for all ages, which the community wishes to enhance as it develops. The public and private sectors have an interest in assuring that the Town grows in an orderly and efficient manner. Currently, the 2015 Comprehensive Plan outlines a path forward for achieving efficiency in growth. It identifies existing and projected community issues, focuses public resources through its principles and policies, and outlines a course of action that provides the Town with a 'road map' to accommodate growth and community change. Community Profile Platteville is one of the oldest communities in Weld County. It is located along the east bank of the South Platte River at the intersection of US Highway 85 and Colorado Highway 66. Located at an elevation of 4,825 feet, Platteville is approximately 1.48 square miles in size. Platteville was founded in 1871, after the Denver Pacific Railroad reached the area. The town's origins are traced back to Fort Vasquez, an important 1830's fur trading post. The Platte River's fertile valley has long been known for its livestock and poultry, with over 200 farms now located in the surrounding area. The Town of Platteville is best described as a community that cherishes its small town atmosphere.23 The physical attributes that contributes to the small town atmosphere, as defined by residents of Platteville, include "a variety of distinct neighborhoods, the South Platte River Corridor, abundant open space, opportunities for additional parks and trails particularly next to the existing ball field and along the South Platte River." 23 Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan (2015) 1541 _ INTERNATIONAL [Y[�((M['/ YYi�ClYfHT WELD COUNTY 2016 MULi7i-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Town of Platteville Statistics Town of Platteville Colorado Population, 2010 2,485 5,029,196 2000-2010 Population Change, % 4.6% 14.5% • Population under S years, 2010 8% 6.8% % Population under 19 years, 2010 25.9% 20.3 % Population 65 years and over, 2010 9.5% 10.9% Language other than English spoken at home, % age 5+, 2009-2013 23.7% 15.9% Homeownership Rate 2010 74.2% 65.5% Persons Per Household 2010 2.9 2.57 Persons below poverty level, %, 2013 16% 13.2% Median Household Income, 2013 $55,052 $58,433 Source: US Census Bureau Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment NATURAL HAZARD PROBABILITY IMPACT SPATIAL EXTENT WARNING TIME DURATION RE RATING Severe Storm 0.90 0.90 0.40 0.40 0.30 2.90 Straight -Line Winds & 0.90 0.90 0.60 0.40 0.10 2.90 Tornadoes I 542 - �� INTERNATIONAL [M1AMN[`M AGfMdN WELD COUNTY 2016 MIJUTI-JURISDIUTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN HAZMAT 0.90 0.60 0.40 0.40 0.10 2.40 Prairie Fire 0.90 0.60 0.40 0.40 0.10 2.40 Public Health Hazards 0.60 0.60 0.60 0.40 0.10 2.30 Extreme Temperatures 0.90 0.60 0.40 0.10 0.10 2.10 Flood 0.60 0.60 0.40 0.20 0.10 1.90 Drought 0.90 0.30 0.400 0.10 0.10 1.80 Land Subsidence 0.30 0.30 0.200 0.30 0.10 1.20 Earthquake 0.30 0.30 0.200 0.10 0.10 1.00 im _WA MODERATE RISK HAZARD (2.0 - 2.4): HAZMAT; Prairie Fire; Public Health Hazards; Extreme Temperatures Low Risk (1.9 or lower): Flood; Drought; Land Subsidence; Earthquake Vulnerability Assessment This section provides a refined vulnerability assessment, specific for the Town of Platteville, for those hazards that were identified as being rated HIGH in the preceding section.

Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the Town of Platteville including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Platteville. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Straight -Line Winds & Tornadoes According to the best available data, no injuries, no death, $8,000 worth of property damage, and no crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Platteville due to tornadoes. There have been 6 tornadoes in the Town of Platteville between 1976 and 1999. Moreover, there have been tornadoes reported very close to the northern, eastern, southern, and western borders of the Town limits.

Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potential Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $86,514,241. Potential losses could be substantial. Flood Although flood was identified as low risk in the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, it is being included with the high vulnerability hazards due to the Town of Platteville's close proximity to the South Platte River. According to the best available data there are no reported injuries or deaths in the Town of Platteville caused by flooding. Due to the towns close proximity to the South Platte River, there is a possibility for a flood event to occur at any given time. There have been two recorded flood events since 1996 in the town of Platteville. The first occurred September 26, 2012 and was categorized as a flash flood.

Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the Town of Platteville to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the Town's hazard mitigation program. Local Personnel The ability of a community to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy depends, in part, on available resources, including people and staff. The table below outlines the Town's capabilities as they relate to key personnel. Full Time Part Time None or Not -Identified Emergency Manager X f 550 EMERMENET MANAGE W ENr I N T E R N A T I O N A L Floodplain Administrator X Community Planner X GIS Specialist X Grant Writer X In Platteville, The Town Manager serves as the Emergency Manager, Floodplain Administrator & grant writer. The Town contracts for planning services as needed. Land Use Planning and Codes Local land use plans and building codes are tremendous tools for evaluating local policies related to hazard mitigation and risk reduction. Additionally, comprehensive master plans, capital improvement plans, stormwater plans and zoning ordinances all present opportunities for enhanced local capabilities. The table below outlines the town's current capabilities as they relate to land use planning and codes. Yes (Y); No (N); I don't know (IDK) A zoning ordinance Y A hazard -specific ordinance N Local }wilding codes Y A comprehensive plan / master plan Y A Capital Improvements Plan Y A Stormwater Plan Y A Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) N An Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Y* A Long -Term Recovery Plan N Participates in the NFIP Y *The emergency operations plan is outdated and is being updoted this winter (2015). The Town Engineer will complete a Master Storm Drainage Alan in 2016. Building codes are one tool that communities use to enhance public safety. For example, they can increase structural integrity, mitigate structure fires, and provide benefits in relation to natural hazard avoidance. In Colorado, land use regulations and building codes are typically implemented at the local level. Even without a statewide mandate, most counties and many municipalities have enacted regulations and 31 �1a la: 1551- ou INTERNATIONAL EMERUNCM ""AGEMENT codes. Town of Platteville has adopted a local building code requirement, demonstrating their understanding of the benefits codes provide, including reduced exposure to hazards. The Town of Platteville has had previous experience receiving, administering, and applying for grants for mitigation and planning -related activities or projects. These include: • Grants: A DQLA Grant in 2010 for Comprehensive Plan Update & 2014 for Master Storm Drainage Plan. Plan Maintenance and Implementation The Town of Platteville has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the town will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Jurisdiction Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy The Plan will be incorporated into the Town's Emergency Management Plan and reviewed annually by the Town Board and respective staff. Town of Platteville The Plan will be available for public review at Town Nall and on the Town's website. Annual public meetings will be held to discuss priorities, amendments or other actions related to the Plan. Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning Through discussions at planning meetings and the use of an online survey, individual outreach, and phone calls, each participating jurisdiction brainstormed with the planning team to identify processes for integrating hazard mitigation into their local planning mechanisms and policies. The Town of Platteville did not integrate the 2009 HMP into other local planning mechanisms. The table below lists the specific integration strategies identified by the Town of Platteville based on the mitigation actions listed in this plan. Jurisdiction Strategy "Identified high risk hazards will be incorporated into the Town's Capital Town of Platteville Improvement Plan.

Severance has a total area of 2.1 square miles and is located at an elevation of 4,888 feet above sea level. Severance was founded in the late 19`h century as an agricultural community, the town remained primarily a small rural farming community based on the raising of cattle, sugar beets, potatoes, and onions. In the 1990s it began to grow aggressively by the construction of new residential subdivisions in the nearby rural areas of Weld County, especially as growth spilled over from nearby Windsor. The construction of new residential communities near the town has left the original agricultural community surrounded by modern construction and contributed to an upsurge in population. Severance is served by two State Highways and numerous county roads, which offer easy motoring to Interstate 25 and all points beyond. Its internal roadways are well maintained and offer unbridled recreation access to other Northern communities. As development occurs a pedestrian and bicycle pathway will connect with Windsor's trail network. The Town currently maintains five parks spread throughout many neighborhoods. A trail system is being developed that will hook into regional trail systems in the future. The surrounding area is home to prime waterfowl hunting and the Rocky Mountains are easily accessible.

On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central and southern Weld County. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. The Town of Severance is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. 1561 .- FT - INTERNATIONAL r M1a@MCY NiW11Q11LMr Inventory Exposed All assets located in the Town of Severance can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 3,165 people, or 100% of the town's population, and all buildings and infrastructure within the Town. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Potential Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the Town of Severance including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Severance. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Straight -Line Winds & Tornadoes According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Severance due to tornadoes. There have been three tornadoes reported within the town limits between 1957 and 2009. A tornado occurred on May 30, 1957 and caused $3,000 worth of property loss. Another tornado occurred on June 16, 1983 that caused $1,000 in property damage. There have been tornadoes reported very close to both the northern, eastern and southern borders of the Town limits. Tornadoes will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Severance. According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Severance due to straight-line winds.

This includes 3,165 people, or 100% of the town's population, and all buildings and structures within the County. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potentiol Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $266,707,561. Potential losses could be substantial. Extreme Temperatures According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Severance due to extreme temperatures. There are two reports of extreme cold temperatures in central and southern Weld County on December 16th and 17th, 1996. There is a great potential for extreme temperature events to occur within the region at any given time. Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of extreme temperatures hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of extreme temperatures. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, low income families and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to extreme temperatures. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, a high poverty rate and/or large numbers of rental properties can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during extreme temperature events. Populations Vulnerable to Extreme Temperatures Age: 65 and Over (%) Persons Below Poverty Level (%} Renter -occupied housing units (%) Colorado 10.9 12.9 34.5 Town of Severance 5.3 3.4 9.0 The Town of Severance has a lower percentage of elderly residents than does the state of Colorado. This is also true for the percentage of people living below poverty level in the town. A much larger percentage of Severance residents own their homes than the general population of Colorado. Based on these statistics, Severance residents (in general) do not appear to be acutely vulnerable to the impacts of extreme temperatures. That said, future mitigation efforts related to extreme temperature should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, live in poverty or are homeless, or are renters. r I 564va - �, I N T E A N A T 1 0 N A L [MEIYi NC7 NW{KEMINT Potentio! Losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for extreme temperature hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the Town of Severance are exposed to extreme temperatures. Those with elevated risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, and low income families. Given the lack of historical data and limited likelihood of structural losses in the Town of Severance resulting from extreme heat or cold, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the Town of Severance due to extreme temperatures are currently considered unquantifiable. Drought According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Severance due to drought. There are four reports of drought in southern Weld County. The four drought events all occurred in April of 2002 and March of 2011. There is a great potential for a drought event to occur at any given time. Inventory Exposed Drought will have little to no direct impact on critical facilities or structures in the Town of Severance. Should a drought affect the water available for public water systems or individual wells, the availability of clean drinking water could be compromised. This situation would require emergency actions and could possibly overwhelm local capacities and financial resources. Potentio! Losses Although it is unlikely that drought conditions will affect existing buildings, infrastructure, and critical infrastructure, economic livelihoods in the Town of Severance could be negatively impacted due to crop loss, water shortages, and wildfires as a result of drought. Possible losses/impacts to critical facilities include the loss of critical function due to low water supplies. As Severance continues to grow, it will consider water -saving mitigation activities that will decrease local vulnerability to drought. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the Town of Severance to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the Town's hazard mitigation program.

This analysis was conducted separately from that of the county -wide vulnerability assessment to specifically focus on the population, structures, infrastructure, and other assets unique to the Town of Windsor. The results of the social vulnerability assessment are displayed on the map below. On the map, social vulnerability is represented at the census tract level by 5 classes of vulnerability: Low (bottom 20% of the county), Medium -Low, Medium, Medium -High, and High (top 20% of the county). The Town of Windsor's social vulnerability map shows social vulnerability within the community. 1572 FTM - INTERNATIONAL [MEW&D Y MMYAMMENT WELD COUNTY 2016 MUL+TI-JORISDIGTIONAL HAZARD MI71GA71bN PLAN The Town of Windsor is characterized by low and medium -low levels of social vulnerability. The majority of the town is in the bottom 20% of social vulnerability in the county. Currently, the socioeconomic indicators that contribute to elevated vulnerability to disasters are lower in Windsor than they are in the majority of Weld County. This does not mean, however, that there aren't any socially vulnerable residents living in the community or that social vulnerability levels will remain the same overtime. Close analysis of the individual social vulnerability indicators within the community will give local emergency managers, planners, and stakeholders a clearer picture of which social vulnerability factors threaten the community the most and where social and economic resources should be allocated in order to reduce vulnerability. Over time, the town should continue to monitor their progress as demographic, economic, and housing related conditions change over time.

There is a great potential for Lightning to occur at any given time within the Town of Windsor. Winter Storm According to the best available data, the Town of Windsor has experienced 25 Winter Storms since 1996. On December 28, 2006 there was report of a winter storm causing $102,000 in property damage in central 574 INTERNATIONAL [MIaGIMCv M1M�GIMlRT WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN and southern Weld County. There were no deaths, injuries or damage to crops reported for any of these storms. Town of Windsor is at high risk of experiencing Winter Storms during the winter months. inventory exposed All assets located in the Town of Windsor can be considered at risk from severe storms. This includes 21,106 people, or 100% of the town's population and all buildings and infrastructure within the Town. Damages primarily occur as a result of high winds, lightning strikes, hail, snow -loading, and flooding. Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to provide adequate protection from hail but the structures could suffer broken windows and dented exteriors. Those facilities with back-up generators are better equipped to handle severe weather situation should the power go out. Potentiol Losses Severe storms affect the entire planning area of the Town of Windsor including all above -ground structures and infrastructure. Although losses to structures are typically minimal and covered by insurance, there can be impacts with lost time, maintenance costs, and contents within structures. A timely forecast may not be able to mitigate the property loss, but could reduce the casualties and associated injuries. It appears possible to forecast these extreme events with some skill, but further research needs to be done to test the existing hypothesis about the interaction between the convective storm and its environment that produces the extensive swath of high winds. Severe storms will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Windsor. It is likely that lightning and hail will also be experienced in the area due to such storms. Straight -Line Winds & Tornadoes Although straight-line winds and tornadoes were identified as medium risk in the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, it is being included with the high vulnerability hazards due to the history of tornado events within the town. According to NOAA's Storm Events Database, 78 injuries, one death, approximately $147,000 of property damage, and no crop damages have been recorded within and near the Town of Windsor due to tornadoes. There have been six tornadoes in the Town of Windsor between 1957 and 2008. The most severe event occurred on May 22, 2008. This EF3 tornado traveled in a north westerly direction and reached speeds of over 165 miles per hour. This tornado event consisted of a formation of several combined tornadoes forming a wedge that was between a half and three quarters of a mile wide. The tornado caused damage to not only the Town of Windsor but also the towns of Milliken, Platteville, Gilchrest, and the City of Greeley. One person was killed at the Missile Silo Campground near Greeley. The tornado impacted area was designated a national disaster. The Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association (RMIIA) reported that there was an estimated $193.5 million in insured damages and approximately 24,000 auto and homeowners claims. Additional details concerning this damaging event can be found in the post - event reports posted on the Town's website(https.1/windsorgov.com/index.aspx?NID=581). There have been tornadoes reported very close to the northern, eastern and southern borders of the Town limits as well. Tornadoes will remain a highly likely occurrence for the Town of Windsor.

Most structures, including the town's critical facilities, should be able to withstand and provide adequate protection from severe wind and tornadoes. Those facilities with back-up generators should be fully equipped to handle severe wind and tornado events should the power go out. Potentiol Losses Generally, straight-line wind events and tornadoes destroy private, commercial, and public property. Additional costs stem from debris removal, maintenance, repair, and response. Indirect costs include loss of industrial and commercial productivity as a result of damage to infrastructure, facilities, or interruption of services. Because no specific, community -wide loss estimation exists for wind and tornado hazards, potential losses are related to structure value. The building value of the structures in this area amounts to roughly $1,247,727,419. Potential losses could be substantial. Extreme Temperatures According to the best available data, no injuries, deaths, or crop damages have been recorded within the Town of Windsor due to extreme temperatures. There are two reports of extreme cold temperatures in central and southern Weld County on December 16th and 17th, 1996. There is a great potential for extreme temperature events to occur within the region at any given time. Inventory Exposed Due to the regional nature of extreme temperatures hazards, jurisdictions with higher numbers of socially vulnerable residents are expected to experience magnified impacts of extreme temperatures. This includes places with high numbers of elderly residents, low income families and homeless individuals/outdoor laborers. The table below shows data related to population vulnerability to extreme temperatures. Based on Census information and knowledge of social vulnerability to hazards, jurisdictions with high numbers of elderly residents, a high poverty rate and/or large numbers of rental properties can plan accordingly to provide appropriate services and mitigation assistance during extreme temperature events. Populations Vulnerable to Extreme Temperatures Age: 65 and Over (%) Persons Below Poverty Level (%) Renter -occupied housing units (%) Colorado 10.9 12.9 34.5 Town of Windsor 1 10.0 1 4.8 1 19.8 The Town of Windsor has a similar percentage of elderly residents as the state of Colorado. Windsor has a lower percentage of people living below poverty level than the state. A higher percentage of Windsor residents own their homes than the general population of Colorado. Based on these statistics, Windsor residents (in general) appear to be less acutely vulnerable to the impacts of extreme temperatures than the general population of Colorado. That said, future mitigation efforts related to extreme temperature should focus on reaching those residents who are elderly, live in poverty, are homeless, or are renters. Potential Losses Because there is no defined geographic boundary for extreme temperature hazards, all of the people and infrastructure within the Town of Windsor are exposed to extreme temperatures. Those with elevated 57$ .- - INTERNATIONAL EMERGEHCf M AQMEM WELD COUNTY 2016 MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN risk and potential loss are the homeless, infirm, elderly, and low income families. Given the lack of historical data and limited likelihood of structural losses in the Town of Windsor resulting from extreme heat or cold, and that placing a dollar amount on the cost of a human life are beyond the scope of the Plan, annualized economic losses for the Town of Windsor due to extreme temperatures are currently considered unquantifiable. Capabilities Assessment The capability assessment examines the ability of the Town of Windsor to implement and manage the comprehensive mitigation strategy laid out in this Plan. The strengths, weaknesses, and resources of the community are identified here as a means for evaluating and maintaining effective and appropriate management of the Town's hazard mitigation program.

These safeguards: • Protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data and the Town's network. • Protect against a data breach that could result in harm or inconvenience to a resident or user and meet any notification requirements. • Protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of sensitive information, including PII. • Identify and assess the risks that may threaten PII. • Conduct a reasonable investigation to determine the likelihood of information that has been or will be misused. • Conduct a post -incident investigation to capture lessons learned. • Develop written policies and procedures to manage and control these identified risks or vulnerabilities. • Adjust the Town's network security to reflect changes in technology, the sensitivity of data stored, and internal or external threats to information security. Data Security Policy 1 June 29, 2016 Data Security Team A Data Security Team ("DST") has been formed. This group consists of a representative from the Town's Information Technology ("IT") contractor and the Resources and Sustainability Coordinator. The DST will meet annually to ensure all participants on the team know their roles in the event of a true incident. Process This section establishes the steps the DST will use to respond to an incident and to initiate the Data Security Policy. Data Security Process — Initial Discovery I. In the event of a suspected or noted security incident, data breach or potential system compromise, or malicious activity, the DST shall be contacted. 2. In order to determine if there has been a security incident, and the nature and seriousness of the incident, the DST will consider and discuss the following questions with the appropriate parties and documents the response. Does the potential compromise contain Town sensitive information or PI I? Does law enforcement need to get involved? Is there a requirement or desire to perform a forensics analysis of the system compromise? o If the answer is "yes" to any of these questions then the DST will immediately coordinate actions to be taken and apply the steps 3-11 below as appropriate. o If the answer is "no" to all the questions, then the DST will apply the steps 3-11 below as appropriate. 3. DST will do preliminary analysis — isolate the compromised system by disconnecting the network cable. If this is not feasible or desirable, IT can block access to the compromised system via the network. 4. Determine the security incident type — try to determine the cause of the malicious activity and the level of system privilege attained by the intruder. 5. Disable any compromised accounts and terminate all processes owned by them. 6. Compile a list of IP addresses involved in the incident, including log entries if possible. 7. Determine the users whose passwords need to be changed due to the compromise, as well as, whether or not the users have accounts on other systems using the same credentials and notify the IT administrators for those systems. 8. Notify the owners of the compromised accounts and reissue credentials. Consider the likelihood of the intruder having access to the compromised account email and utilize other contact methodology. 9. Determine whether all affected users have established new passwords. 10. IT will rebuild the system and verify that its network access should be re-established. 11. IT will perform a network vulnerability scan, if feasible and practical, of the system after it is unblocked to identify any unresolved security issues that might be used in future attacks against the system. Data Security Policy 2 June 29, 2016 II. Post -incident Lessons Learned The DST will: 1. Hold a meeting within 48 hours of completion of response. 2. Review chronology of the event. 3. Identify what went wrong and what went right. For instance, "Encryption was used on the file server containing Town confidential information and PII." 4. Identify the threats or vulnerabilities that were exploited and determine whether they can be alleviated. 5. Review if all intrusion detection or prevention was in place, active and up to date. 6. Document "lessons learned" and assign appropriate updates to the Data Security Policy or other operational processes. III. Privacy Breach Incident Response If a security incident is suspected to be a data privacy breach, the DST will: 1. Immediately notify the Town Manager and the Town Attorney, 2. Determine what information was suspected to be breached, i.e., specific individuals' first and last names with a type of PI I. 3. When appropriate, bring in an incident -response expert or law enforcement to conduct an investigation. Identify the scope, time frame and source(s) of breach, type of breach, whether data encryption was used and for what, possible suspects (internal or external, authorized or unauthorized, employee or non -employee user). 4. Review for other compromised systems. S. Monitor all systems for potential intrusions. Accountability All users are required to report any suspected data breach of the Town's network to the DST. The DST will respond to any incident, analyze and collect the audit records and any logs, and redeploy new credentials to affected users after identification. IT will be responsible for maintaining updates to the Town's network security post -incident and, at a minimum, annually. The DST will be responsible for providing the Town Attorney with documentation after an incident of the types of personal information that may have been breached, providing guidance throughout the investigation on privacy issues, and assisting in developing the communication plan to impacted individuals. Compliance Violations of this policy may lead to the suspension or revocation of system privileges and/or disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. The Town intends to advise appropriate authorities of any violation of the law.
