Additional Property Attributes

The site is a historic fly-ash disposal site that was previously permitted through the City of Montrose with permission by the Colorado Division of Housing. The Bullock Station, a formerly operating power plant, generated fly ash and bottom ash. The Colorado Ute Electric Association Inc. initiated fly ash disposal from the power plant on the site in 1977. Per original permit documentation, the plant generated less than 9,000 tons of fly ash per year that was dumped on the site, although the ending year is unknown. Disposal activity was supposed to occur in ravines on the site with a dike placed at the downstream end of ravines to collect any surface runoff that passed through disposal areas. Surface runoff was said to have been diverted through surface trenches at the head end of the ravine. The trucks slated for use in transporting fly ash held 16 tons per truck; two round trips were scheduled per day, five days a week as a maximum. Later documentation shows that up to 24 tons was hauled per day. The density of the ash was estimated at 1,350 lbs. per cubic yard. The chemical analysis of a typical fly ash sample was: Ash dumped was supposed to have been covered with six inches of cover material at the end of the day. Covering would occur immediately in the event wind would pick up. Two feet of final cover (minimum) was supposed to be used when disposal was completed. The site is currently vacant and no recent disposal activities have occurred for almost 35 years. The site remains unimproved and could best be described as dry grazing land with sparse vegetative cover. Rolling hills of what is commonly referred to as "adobe" soil characterize the acreage. Approximately 17 acres of the site can be irrigated, but no surface water is present on site. The site is higher in elevation than the surrounding area and so is not affected by any watershed nor is it in a flood plain. Depth to groundwater is unknown but believed to be very deep in this area. The site is located in a rural area used primarily for agricultural purposes and a growing residential movement surrounds the property. The property owner has agreed to partner with Habitat for Humanity of the San Juan's to repurpose the site into affordable homes for ownership-a dire need within the community. Ideally, the site will be developed over the next 3-5 years. Some light commercial use may be incorporated for small business opportunities, such as a daycare. Sites would be developed and sold off through the development period to homeowners of mixed income levels with an emphasis on those under 80% AMI or below. Analytical data results indicated no exceedences of EPA RBSL cleanup numbers for residential use scenarios
