RE: Centennial's Sanitary Sewer Line across PA 85 in Highlands Ranch
Dear Mr. Fonda:
On November 30, 1998, we met and discussed the possibility of Centennial
locating a sanitary sewer outfall line across Englewood's parcel of land,
located in PA 85 in Highlands Ranch. During the meeting you agreed to the
concept and requested that I work out the details with Ross Brazil (TH K).
Ross suggested that CWSD prepare a conceptual plan depicting a possible
roadway alignment, along with the associated grading of the site. The only
direction that Ross could give us was to assume that the "draw" may
possibly be filled in, to accommodate building pads on either side. With this
information, we directed Rocky Mountain Consultants to prepare a plan that
included a loop road connecting to Shea's property to the Southeast, grades
for the site, and our proposed sanitary sewer line. Enclosed is a copy of this
conceptual site plan, along with a plan and profile of the sewer l ine.
We have enclosed the proposed grant of easement document for your review
and comment. We will prepare the legal description and exhibit of the
easement, after we have reached agreement on the alignment and will
forward a copy for your review. We will request a 30' permanent easement
along with an additional 40' temporary construction easement.
Our plan is to complete the construction drawings and receive approvals by
February 22, 1999. We will then go to bid and award the construction
contract on March 23, 1 999, with construction occurring in April and May.
We would like to request that you review these plans and easement
documents at your earliest convenience and return any comments to me by
January 29, 1999. Please give me a call at 791-0430, if you have any
questions.

repair any paving, curb, gutter, and fences which are damaged,
modified or altered by Grantee during said construction,
maintenance, repair, replacement, or removal. Grantee further
agrees to replace any topsoil removed from any areas on the
Easement Property, to re-seed the disturbed area so as to prevent
erosion, to restore landscaping, as nearly as reasonably possible,
to its original condition, and to remove any excess earth resulting
from said construction, maintenance, repair, replacement, or
removal, at Grantee's sole cost and expense.
6. Retained Rights of Grantor. Grantor reserves the right
of ownership, use, and occupancy of the Easement Property insofar
as said ownership, use, and occupancy does not impair the rights
granted to Grantee in this Grant. Without limiting the foregoing,
it is understood and agreed by Grantee that installation of utility
lines and appurtenances, pavement, shrubs, and other landscaping
(except trees), on, under, or through the Easement Property shall
expressly be permitted. Grantee's rights hereunder are non-
exclusive and Grantor shall have full right and authority to grant
other easements or rights to use the Easement Property as will not
impair Grantee's rights under this Grant.
7. Grantor's Rights to Relocate . Grantor shall have the
right to require Grantee to relocate the Lines and Appurtenances,
at Grantee's sole cost and expense, provided that Grantor shall
grant or cause to be granted to Grantee easements for the relocated
Lines and Appurtenances reasonably similar in nature and scope to
the Easement herein granted . Grantee shall have 9 months from the
grant and acceptance of such easements to relocate it's Lines and
Appurtenances.
8. Abandonment. In the event that Grantee shall abandon the
rights granted to it under this Grant, all right, title, and
interest hereunder of Grantee shall cease and terminate, and
Grantor shall hold the Easement Property, as the same may then be,
free from the rights of Grantee so abandoned and shall own all of
the Lines and Appurtenances of Grantee so abandoned. Failure to
use the Lines and Appurtenances for a period of 5 years or more
shall constitute evidence of abandonment.
9. Binding Effect. This Grant shall extend to and be
binding upon the successors and assigns of the respective parties
hereto. The terms, covenants, agreements, and conditions in this
Grant shall be construed as covenants running with the land.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this

Properties and Vice President
Chetter Latcham are gearing
up for the biggest year yet for the
Highlands Ranch Business Park .
Latcham said 1999 will be great for
the business park in that it will see con-
struction and definition .
The business park is planned fnr
more than 300 acres nestled alnng C-
470 and southward near Broadway in
central and western Highland s Ranch .
Although pl a ns and bids for property
ha ve been building over the la s t ye ar.

the llighl ands Ranch Bu s iness Park a
place tu be.
Lucent plan s to build three buildings
totalling 600.000 square feet that will
line C-470 just east of the Highlands
Ranch Boulevard exit. The company
will have space to expand on the proper-
ty.
With Lucent starting to build,
-Latcham said he expects vendors and
customers of Lucent also will be com-
pelled to move to the business park, but
he is unsure.
He is sure , though , that many other
businesses, unrelated to Lucent will start
work on their own facilities.
The firsc of which will include the
Shea Center, which will break ground in
February and open in October.
The first of four buildings in the Shea
Center was approved in November by
the Highlands Ranch Devel o pment
Review Committee and the county.
The four buildings will likely be
identical "high -end " buildings . designed
to attract tenants who will leas e space
from Shea. The Shea Center will be
located at the southwest intersection of
Plaza Drive and Highlands Ranch
Boulevard.
The building exterior is glass and
sandstone and features a multi-lloor cir-
cular tower.

from page 3
the business park will become more
prominent as several monuments are
built. Shea has already broken ground
and is grading space for several monu-
ment signs for the Highlands Ranch
Business Park.
The monuments will be 40 foot-high
tapered columns with light fixtures on
top. "Business Park" will be carved
onto the stone columns.
Two columns will be on either side
of the road at all the entrances to the
business park at Highlands Ranch
Boulevard and C-470, on Plaza Drive
near Broadway and on Highlands Ranch
Parkway at Ridgeline Boulevard and
Highlands Ranch Boulevard.
However, the monuments will not
replace but will complement the stan-
dard Highlands Ranch signage of red
flagstone retain ing walls topped with
pine trees .
Landscaping, accenting and comple-
menting the signage and in the medians
will come later in year when the weather
warms up .
Latcham attributes success of the
business park to timing .
"The timing was right," he said.
"Highlands Ranch now has enough peo-
ple to sustain business. It's like align-
ment of the planets."
The opening of the Highlands Ranch
Boulevard interchange was also a big
key to the success of the park.
Also mentioned was the switc~ from
Mission Viejo to Shea Homes as making
a difference. While Mission was just
selling land, Shea is in a position where
it will finance the actual vertical devel-
opment, thus allowing development to
happen faster.
The year 2000 will also be momentus
for the Highlands Ranch Business Park.
Already planned is the connection of
Eastridge to the park via Wildcat
Reserve , Lucent opening, and the widen-
ing of Plaza with the addition of medi-
an s.

I understand that Denver and Thornton have entered into preliminary
settlement negotiations in this matter, and, at this time, I believe the best way for us
to pursue our settlement goals is by communicating them to Denver. I have spoken
briefly with Casey Funk and Chips Berry about our concerns, and the purpose of this
letter is to provide you with a written basis to follow up with Chips. A general
outline of Englewood's settlement needs follows:
1. All Parties to 96CW145 (particularly Thornton and FRI CO) must
promise that they will never again oppose any existing (as of the date of the
settlement) decreed water right (whether conditional , absolute, or otherwise) that
includes any credit for discharges of Bi-City effluent (whether for exchange ,
augmentation, or as return flows), whether Bi-City is expressly or impliedly
referenced in the decree.
2. The Paiiies shall fmiher agree that Bi-City effluent discharged
pursuant to a valid pe1mit (irrespective of any violation, which shall be solely
addressed by approp riate govenunental bodies) shall meet any Parties' requirements
of any kind under the above decreed rights, and shall specifically be deemed to meet
any statutory requirements in the current matter as a source of substitute supply for
any municipal or agricultural use of any of the Parties .

Dear Stu:

We had a productive meeting with Thornton on Friday. They showed that they had
spent a great deal of time thinking about how to rationalize water diversion, treatment
and distribution in the north metro area. In contrast to past meetings, they were more
open and had far more ideas than I had reason to expect they might. Therefore, we
have decided to try to prest ahead with a period of negotiation to see what we can
accomplish by the end of April.
I have received your letter stating what you think the terms of settlement need to include.
I agree with those tenns, but we did not discuss them last Friday. Obviously those terms
and other relevant topics need to be explored in depth in the next couple of months.
I am sending you a copy of a Letter Agreement, which I have drafted, and sent to
Thornton for their revtew. Thomton will discuss it at trnlir Council maetlng tonight and I
will talk with our Board about it tomorrow. I have asked Thornton to send it on to FRICO.
I am hoping that you can approve It, or at least give me some &ense of your views In the
next day. Assuming that everyone {Denver, Englewood, Thornton, FRICO) is on board,
we should be able to go to the court Wednesday to suspend discovery and seek a new
trial date for later in the year. As you will see in the attached letter agreement, by the
end of April we should be in a position to decide whether the trial date should ba vacated
and negotiations continued, or whether discovery should be renewed.
Please call if you have questions. I atso assume you will send this on to Jack Graves.

bEJTER AGREEMENJ
The undersigned parties to the Thomton/Oenver litigation (96CW145) agree as follows:
(1) Thornton will request and schedule a telephone conference with the
Water Court for the purpose of a joint request tor a new trial date in
October 1999 for 96CW145, and a suspension of dates in the case
management order. It is possible that this date wiU supplant the
Blackhawk trial date on related water issues. The basis of the motion is
the belief that through negotiation the parties can progress towards
settlement of various differences with respect to the operation of their
water diversion, treatment and delivery systems. It is anticipated that this
telephone conference will be held on February 3, 1999.
(2) All discovery will be sutspendad as of the ctose of buatness on February 3,
1999. Discovery may be renewed and deadlines will be commensurately
extended if the court fails to establiSh a new trial date by February 10,
1999.
(3) The parties will negotiate until April 30, 1999. At that point. the parties will
decide whether (a) to vacate the new trial date, and continue discussion
and negotiation; or (b) to renew discovery and trial preparation in
anticipation of trial en the new date. All four undersigned parties must
agree to option {a) above, or otherwise option {b) becomes automatic.
(4) If on April 30, 1999 the parties agree to vacate the trial date, Thornton
and FRICO will accede to Denver's request for diligence in CA3635 and
not fess than 589 ds to De made absoiute; quantities of water in addition
to that will be left open pending progress in the negotiations.
(S) During negotiations, the parties agree to meet at least once a week for
detailed substantive discussions. The negotiations will be monitored on a
weekly basis by the Manager of Thornton and the Manager of Denver
Water. The two Managers will communicate trequenUy to ascertain
progress, and they will attend at least two meetings per month, and as
many other meetings or parts of meetings u possible.

Re: Wastewater Transmission Agreement of March 31, 1995, as
Amended November 4, 1996
Gentlemen:
I enclose a copy of a letter dated December 17, 1998, to
Meurer & Associates from Tim Cox. Tim has been the lead engineer
on the landfill dewatering project being conducted under the
above-referenced agreement. As you know , the project uses South
Arapahoe transmission facilities and the Big Dry Creek Intercep-
tor to conduct the dewatering discharge to the Bi-City plant.
The current temporary agreement expires i n May, 1999. Tim is
requesting a three-year extension of the agreement, to allow
additional time to perform an evaluation to determine if "natural
attenuation" is occurring, which would justify termination of the
discharge. I -also enclose a lett.er dated December · 4, 1998, to
Tim from Glenn Mallory at the Colorado Department of Health,
~pproving the proposed evaluation.
The South Arapahoe Board considered the extension request at
its Board meeting on January 18, 1999, and determined that it
could support the extension on the following grounds:
(1) based on the Cox letter, the "natural attenuation" idea
appears to have merit and the study shou l d be performed;
(2) the requested extension would not negatively impact
South Arapahoe facilities.
Accordingly, the Board indicated it would be willing to grant the
requested extension, subject to approval by the principals in the

Re: Status of Groundwater Recovery System and Tap at the Fairways of South Suburban Property in
Littleton, Colorado; RMC Job No. 19-3536.001.00
Dear Messers Meurer and Napoli Iii :
As requested during our meeting held on December 3, 1998, this letter describes the 'status o f the
groundwater recovery system (recovery system) at the above referenced property. The recovery system
was installed in January 1995 at the request of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
(CDP HE) to prevent the northward migration of low concentra ti ons of volatile organ ic compounds (VOCs)
in shallow groundwater from County Line Landfill (landfill). The recovery system discharges the collected
groundwater through a tap onto the sanitary sewer belonging to South Arapahoe Sanitation District (District)
under provisions in a Wastewater Transmission Agreement (A greement) between the District, Waste
Management of Colorado (WMC), and Arapahoe County (County); WMC and the County are the operator
and owner of the landfill, respectively. The water is ultimatel y treated at the Littleton/Englewood
Wastewater Treatment Plant under a Wastewater Contribution Permit wi th the city of Englewood.
As specified by CDPHE, the reco v ery system must operate until groundwater performance standards are
met at two compliance points, after which the recovery system may be decommissioned . The first
compliance point is at the recovery sump and it has to meet a performance concentrat ion of 5 micrograms
per liter (µg/L) for 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA), the compound Q.f concern . The second compliance point
is a monitoring well at the South Suburban Golf Course (SSMW-1), approximately 600 feet north and
downgradient of the recovery system, where a performance concentration of 1 µg/L for 1,2-DCA must be
·achieved .
Currently, groundwater is continuously pumped at an appro xi mate rate of 6 gallon s per minute
(appro x imately 8,600 gallons per day) and is discharged to the sani tary se wer sy stem. As of the most recent
groundwater sampling event in June 1998, the concentrat ion o f total VOCs at the reco very sump is only 31
µg/L. Due to the low concentration of VOCs, the water discharged to the sanitary sewer is neither corrosive
nor explosive, and well below the influent standards set by the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment
Plant.
A review of concentrations measured in monitoring wells and at the recovery sump at the Fairways
property, shows that total VOCs have been decreasing for the past two years . Concentrations of 1,2-DCA in
the recovery sump reached a h igh of approximately 90 µgll in 1996 and ha ve been stead i ly declining to
the most recent concentration of 20 µg!L, which is only four t i mes greater than the performance
concentration. In addition, the performance concentration at well SSMW-1 has been achieved and the well
was abandoned in May 1998 with authorization from CDPHE.

Given that concentrations of VOCs are decreasing, there is now strong evidence that natural attenuation
processes are occurring within the shallow water-bearing zone. Natural attenuation occurs when chemical
compounds degrade to relatively nontoxic compounds due to favorable biological activity within the
groundwater zone. The decrease in chlorinated chemical compounds appears to be occurring via the
process of reductive dechlorination, however, additional data collection and analysis is necessary to
demonstrate that natural attenuation is occurring, and is likely to occur in the future.
A proposed evaluation of natural evaluation at the property has be formerly presented to CDPHE. The
proposed evaluation contains three major tasks including collection of additional geochemical data,
calculation of the decrease in total VOC mass in groundwater over time, and solute fate and transport
modeling to simulate the migration and natural attenuation of total voes in the shallow groundwater
system. CDPHE approved the proposed evaluation and is tentatively scheduled to be conducted in January
1999. If the evaluation confirms that natural attenuation is occurring within the groundwater system, then
recommendations will be made to CDPHE for decommissioning of the recovery system in favor of natural
attenuation as a viable corrective measure.
Based on the decreasing trends in concentrations observed over the past several years, we are optimistic
that the recovery system will eventually achieve its performance concentration through natural attenuation
processes such that it can be decommissioned in the future and discharge to the sanitary sewer can be
suspended. In the meantime, the current Agreement with the District will expire in May 1999 and we
request that the Agreement be renewed and that the temporary status of the Fairways tap be allowed to
continue for an additional three-year term in accordance with the Wastewater Contribution Perm it renewal.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Tim Cox. On behalf of WMC and the County, we appreciate
your continued cooperation.

Re: Emdewood License A!lreement Formerlv Proposed to be Entered Into with Southwest
Metropolitan Water and Sanitation District.
Dear Dan:
As you are aware from our voice mail exchanges , I represent the SouthPark Metropolitan
District. SouthPark Metropolitan District is working to facilitate the construction of public
infrastructure to serve SouthPark Subdivision Filing No. 5 near County Line Road and Santa Fe.
As part of that effort Southwest Metropolitan District and Tim Flynn entered into discussions
with you concerning the referenced License Agreement.
We were advised that the discussions with Southwest broke down because of your need
to have some flexibility to require relocation in the event the city chooses to move or improve
the City Ditch. SouthPark Metropolitan District is willing to enter into the License Agreement
and will then make other service and maintenance arrangements with Southwest or the City of
Littleton. ·
I have obtained from Tim Flynn copies of his proposed License Agreement and your
letter dated November 6, 1998 in response to the draft. We have scanned Tim's draft and
inserted the items that were approved in your letter. Paragraph 4 concerning the right of the city
to require relocation was left in its original form without the insertions or deletions shown on the
redlined draft. If we did everything properly , the enclosed draft should reflect the License
Agreement that you and staff had agreed to with Southwest Metropolitan District.
In conversations with Stu Fonda, Emil Rothlisberger was advised that the staff would
recommend, or at least present, the License Agreement with a ten year limitation on the right to
require relocation. Such a limitation would be very helpful for SouthPark in determining how to

establish a fund for this purpose. Accordingly , SouthPark would like to insert the following
language to replace the last sentence of paragraph 4:
In the event the Licensee's Facility should interfere with any use of the
City's rights-of-way by the City during the ten vears following the date of
this License Agreement, the Licensee shall, upon request and at its sole
expense, relocate or rearrange or remove its installations so as not to
interfere with any such use. Thereafter. the Citv will relocate. rearrange
or move the installation at its own expense. if necessarv .
Please let me know your thoughts on this additional language and on any other changes
you may deem necessary in light of the new parties involved . We are prepared to execute the
document and forward the required copies to Ms. Burridge as soon as we hear from you.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

FROM: Bill Kendall, McLaughlin Water Engineers, Ltd. Wf.\C..,
RE: Review of Corrected Sewer Pipeline Design Crossing City Ditch at Dad Clark
Gulch.
TT. II
Mr. Kumar R . Halbe from Merrick & Company stopped by and de livered a corrected plan for the
proposed crossing of City Ditch at Dad Clark Gulch . I reviewed the plan with him and it appears
to me that they have addressed all of the concerns brought up in the December 1998 review
memo .
Mr . Halbe told me that he has worked with you on the existing 50 foot easement for the Cit y
Ditch . I have not reviewed any potential conflicts with easements rights as you probably should
have your attorney check this anyway . He believes that there arc no easement issues outstanding.
I am sending a copy of the revised plan that he produced and I have marked an addition to the
Notes section immediately below the legend which states that the sewer pipe beneath the flume
will be installed by boring and not open cut. Note that the designer has added a plan view and a
flume crossing detail at the right side which depict the relationship of the flume support system to
the proposed sewer pipeline .
Please call if you require any further assistance on this matter or have any more questions.
