BARBARA FOUT -4185 S. HURON ST. RE: MR. PRADO
Daniel, Barbara and James Fout appeared as scheduled guests regarding signs requested
from Mr. Prado.
Discussion ensued regarding the purpose of various signs on that block and the enclosed
City Ditch easement . Councilman Yates noted Mr. Prado's concern regarding waste
resulting from pedestrians walking their dogs in that area .
Tom Brennan noted that the City may give permission for City Ditch easements to be
used for acceptable predetermined uses if adjacent property owners agree . Chairman
Wiggins recommended that the neighbors discuss various acceptable uses and return to
discuss with the Water Board when an agreement is reached. Kim Kurczewski appeared
to address her issues in the area .
5. NEW BUSINESS
a. ALLEN PLANT ALUM RESIDUALS REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL.
Drinking water produced at the plant meets all drinking water standards but produces
low levels of naturally occurring radionuclides in the source water. Residuals are
removed through treatment and temporarily stored at the plant. These residuals
generated at the plant are considered technologically-enhanced, naturally occurring
radioactive materials and have additional disposal requirements by the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment. In 2012 State rules changed regarding
landfills that could accept sludge from water treatment plants . Two years of production
had stockpiled while optional hauling sites were investigated.
Tom Brennan discussed a Channel 4 inquiry into the radioactivity of the residuals at the
Allen Water Treatment Plant . Tom noted that so far, experts that have been consulted
found the radioactivity in the sludge to not be at harmful levels . CIRSA is hiring a third-
party expert to conduct an independent investigation.
A bid opening for removing the stockpiled sludge was held on April 26, 2016. Five bids
were received. The lowest acceptable bidder was Secure On -Site Services in the amount
of $230,550.00 for hauling 1,500 yards of material.

b. SOUTH PLATTE RIVER RUN PARK -BIKE TRAIL AT UNION AVE.
The Board received easement exhibits and legal descriptions from Mclaughlin
Whitewater Design Group for the proposed pedestrian trail at Union Avenue and South
Platte River. The Water Board originally approved permission for the Grant of Easement
for this project in 2013 . The project is for a one-mile paved regional trail along the east
bank of the South Platte River from Union Ave . to Oxford Ave . The project includes
lengthening the existing intake structure and pouring a concrete floor, which should
improve water flow at the intake . Additional fencing and a paved trail section will
improve access for intake maintenance .
The South Suburban Park & Recreation District is requesting approval of an easement
for the trail portion that will cross through the property owned by the City of Englewood
at the raw water intake facility north of Union Ave. This portion of the trail will connect
the Mary Carter Greenway Trail system to the existing trail at Broken Tee Gold Course.
The City Attorney is working on the agreements that will address ownership and
maintenance responsib i lities .
Motion :

RE: Our neighborhood garden
Attention : Mr. Thomas Bren
From Barbara Fout
C/C Joe Jefferson Mayor
Per our three conversations, I b 1eve I have what you requested. I have attached the letter from all of
my neighbors, which specifies we will all support the garden .
The plan that we agreed to do, and the amount of garden that all of our neighbors will support. See the
letter.
This has taken so much time and lots of effort from myself. When we met with the water board our
agenda was to have the city of Englewood signs taken down. It was a waste of Taxpayers' dollars to put
them in someone private yard .
Then it was decided we needed to have a plan put together to support our interests here. We were told
to have this plan put together by June 2. On June 2, I Spoke to Kathy. She said we had to submit the plan
in writing. Because there weren't any issues except ours there would not be meeting this month. That
means it goes to July
In the meantime KIM GOT NOTICE FROM YOU THAT SHE HAS TO TAKE PER 4 PLANTS DOWN, BECAUSE IT WASN'T
APPROVED.
WE ARE GOING TO PUT THE GARDEN IN .

Report regarding the Community Surrounding the Allen Water Filter Plant
Prepared by Herman Gibb, Ph.D., M.P.H.
Water treatment plants across the country, including the Allen plant operated by the City
of Englewood, produce a wide variety of waste products in addition to providing safe drinking
water. One of these waste products is known as sludge. A recent news article on CBS4
indicated that workers at the Allen plant are concerned that sludge at the facility may be
increasing their risk of cancer. It was also reported that persons in the community have similar
concerns (Sallinger 2016). Environmental sampling conducted at the Allen plant, including
sampling of the sludge, does not indicate any evidence of an increased risk of cancer to workers
or the community . This sampling includes both chemical and radiation measurements. The
radiation measurements at the Allen plant are actually below the average indoor radiation
measurement for the United States as a whole and well below the predicted indoor radiation
measurement for Arapahoe County. Chemical testing found that levels of chromium and other
chemicals of concern were below occupational safety standards. The City of Englewood is
committed to operating a safe drinking water treatment operation for both its workers and the
community. The City will continue to conduct air and sludge sampling at the Allen facility and
monitor these results on a regular basis.
