UPDATES (by Core Public Health Service)
A. Assessment, Planning, and Communication: All agencies are required to use assessment
and planning methodologies to identify, evaluate and understand community health
problems, priority populations, and potential threats to the public's health, and use this
knowledge to determine what strategies are needed to engage partners and improve health.
Community Health Assessment and Planning System (CHAPS)
• The Regional Community Health Assessment and Public Health Improvement Plan are
being finalized and will be available in the first quarter of 2018. Mental Health and
Healthy Housing are the Regional priorities, and Pathways to Health Care is an
additional concern for Pitkin County.
• As a part of this work, Pitkin County has secured a grant from the Child Fatality
Prevention Branch at CDPHE to do a training for local journalists in Pitkin, Eagle and
Garfield Counties about how to responsibly report on suicide by June 2018.
B. Vital Records and Statistics: All agencies are required to record and report vital events
(e.g. births and deaths) in compliance with Colorado statutes, Board of Health Regulations,
and Office of the State Registrar of Vital Statistics policies.
Vital Records
• Provided by Garfield County.
C. Communicable Disease Prevention, Investigation, and Control: All agencies are required to
track the incidence and distribution of disease in the population and prevent and control
vaccine-preventable diseases, zoonotic,vector, air-borne, water-borne and food-borne
illnesses, and other diseases that are transmitted person-to-person.
Disease Surveillance, Monitoring and Investigation
• The epidemiology program administrator met with the child care directors at the Kids
First meeting in September to present on illness tracking and disease reporting in child
care facilities. Throughout the fall, we have been on-site in child cares, integrating our
inspection program with disease reporting, and responding to small clusters of illness
reported to the health department. We continue to collaborate with the Kids First child
care health consultant in tracking disease and implementing control measures, to
ensure our regulatory program is risk-based and attention is given when and where it is
needed to prevent the spread of illness in our youngest population.
• Influenza surveillance began in October and will continue through the remainder of flu
season.
D. Prevention and Population Health Promotion: All agencies are required to develop,
implement, and evaluate strategies (policies and programs)to enhance and promote healthy
living, quality of life and wellbeing while reducing the incidence of preventable (chronic and
communicable) diseases, injuries, disabilities and other poor health outcomes across the
2
life-span.
WIC (Women, Infants and Children)
WIC Innovation Grant
• CHS received funding from the Colorado Health Foundation (CHF) for the WIC
Innovation Project. This funding will support CHS to increase enrollment and retention
in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for Women, Infant and Children
(WIC). CHS was awarded $55,592 over a 24 month period starting in October 2017. The
WIC program serves pregnant women and children from birth to five years of age who
have an income up to 185% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Services include nutrition
education and counseling, screening and referrals to other health, welfare and social
services and food vouchers for supplemental nutritious foods. Strategies to increase
enrollment and retention will include working with community partners such as Pitkin
County Economic Services, local day care centers, Mountain Family Health Centers, local
food banks and pantries and other local advocacy organizations to create referral
processes. We will also be creating paid and social media campaigns to increase
awareness of this program.
• CHS and PCPH have a subcontract in place for CHS to provide WIC services to eligible
clients, PCPH has an IGA in place for Garco to provide WIC services.
Community-Based Work
• The Public Health Director continues to work with the Department of Human Services
Director on Mental Health initiatives in the community. Instead of hiring a Mental health
System Coordinator, a partnership between Public Health, Aspen Community
Foundation and Aspen Strong was formed. This partnership focus on Mental health
System coordination in Pitkin County through a strong collaborative of mental health
providers, partner organizations, stakeholders and community leaders. The Valley
Marijuana Council(VMC) is composed of these key players and meets regularly to drive
strategies for addressing the impact of legalized marijuana on community members and
systems. After achieving multiple compliance and public safety policy milestones, the
VMC has begun to turn its attention to youth prevention of substance use and lower the
community's overall use of marijuana and other substances. Analyzing the system of
mental health supports and identifying ways to influence this system was adopted as a
next right step for the VMC as it ponders the viability and purpose of an excise tax in
Pitkin County. Aspen Community Foundation (ACF) provides backbone support to the
VMC in the form of data collection and analysis, coalition building and policy research.
In addition, ACF's neutral position in the mental health system and convener of
multi-sector collaborations, will provide the necessary leadership to meet the metrics
while navigating historically complicated relationships among providers. Aspen Strong
will provide their Mental Health expertise and connection to the system of care
providers. Public Health will provide the funding through the HCPF grant, as well as data
collection and metrics accountability.

• The Public Health Director was a guest on the Grassroots TV show-The Good Life, which
is produced by Ira Bedzow, Senior Scholar for the Aspen Center for Social Values.

E. Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR): All agencies are required to prepare and
respond to emergencies with a public health or environmental health implication in
coordination with local, state and federal agencies and public and private sector partners.
Health Care Coalition
• The Northwest Colorado Regional Health Care Coalition has operationalized through
finalizing a governance structure, coordinator role, steering committee members, and a
funding request process. The Pitkin County EPR Coordinator was designated as the
Pitkin County representative on the steering committee, and will participate as a voting
member in evaluating funding requests for emergency preparedness activities in our
region.
F. Environmental Health: Recognizing that significant responsibility for environmental quality
management and oversight lies with state and federal agencies, all agencies are required to
participate in the protection and improvement of air, water, land, and food quality by
identifying, investigating, and responding to community environmental health concerns,
reducing current and emerging environmental health risks, preventing communicable
diseases, and sustaining the environment.
Consumer Protection Program
Inspections— Bryan is continuing to complete restaurant inspections and the busy season is
about to start. He will also be processing all of the retail food license renewals in January. We
are continuing to work with CDPHE on the new inspection software and will shortly have the
capability to run inspection reports.
Fees—2018 will be the second year of a three year increase in Retail Food Establishment (RFE)
fees. The fees for an RFE license will increase about 10% above the 2017 fees.
Childcare—Carlyn has taken over the childcare inspection program and will be assisted by EH,
when needed.
FDA Food Code—The State Board of Health approved the adoption of the FDA Food Code to
replace the Colorado Retail Food Regulations on November 15, 2017. The Code will become
effective on January 1, 2019. Bryan and Kurt will be involved with implementation and trainings
throughout 2018.

New Construction permits- For 2017, EH has received 50 OWTS construction/repair permits
applications. 51 construction/repair permits were issued in the same period in 2016.
Use Permits— For 2017, EH has received 83 OWTS use permits applications. 66 use permits
were issued during the same period in 2016.
Graywater—Graywater Regulations are before the Board of Health today for adoption (15t
reading). These regulations are based on the minimum requirements set by the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment's 5 CCR 1002-86, Regulation #86. The second
reading/public hearing will be set for a date in early 2018. Environmental Health fees will also
be amended to include a fee for graywater permits.
Graywater is wastewater from hand sinks, showers, and laundry machines that is captured for
reuse on the property. Graywater is not wastewater from kitchen sinks, toilets, or utility sinks
and the wastewater from these fixtures must be treated through and Onsite Wastewater
Treatment System (OWTS) or a wastewater (sewer) utility. Graywater is also not reclaimed
water. Reclaimed water is wastewater from all sources that is collected and treated to a
minimum standard for reuse. The treatment standards are based on the how the reclaimed
water is used. Reclaimed water can be used at the treatment site or on other separate
properties.
These proposed regulations would allow for the capture and storage of graywater to be used
for outdoor irrigation and/or indoor toilet flushing. Both options would be available for
residential properties (up to 400 gpd) and commercial properties (up to 2000 gpd). The
graywater permit process will be the same as the OWTS permit process and will have the same
categories as the OWTS: new construction, repair, use, operating (renewable), and amendment.
The proposed fee for a graywater permit will be the $164/hr charge. This change will allow for
some flexibility when the applicant has also applied for an OWTS permit since there will be
informational overlap between the permits. A use permit will be required for a graywater
system when the property is sold (tile transfer) or the house remodeled. An operating permit
will be required for all graywater systems that require periodic maintenance. Operating permits
will expire every two years and must be renewed as long as the graywater system is continuing
to be used.
The applicant will be required to demonstrate at application the property has adequate water
rights to allow for the proposed resue of graywater. In some cases, properties may not have the
water rights to allow for outdoor irrigation. However, EH met with staff from the Glenwood
Springs office of the Colorado Division of Water Resources and they indicated that indoor toilet
flushing would not be considered a "consumptive" use of graywater and this use could be
permitted at all properties. The DWR staff also indicated concerns about permitting systems
where their water has been augmented. The application for a graywater system will include a
question on augmentation and if the applicant indicates this, EH will work with the DWR to
determine if the use can be allowed.

OWTS Regulations— EH held a contractor meeting on 11/02/2017 to discuss the coming OWTS
regulation changes. The OWTS Regulations must be adopted by June 20, 2018 and will be
brought to the Board of Health at a future meeting.
Bluebeam — EH is working with BITS and Community Development to work through the
implementation of the plan review software.
OWTS homeowner informational video— Kurt assisted in producing an informational video on
OWTS systems for homeowners. The project was spearheaded by Paul Hempel, Colorado Rural
Water. The video was discussed in the June BOH update and can be found at:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5vffi7vvvttvrjh/ColoradoRuralWater%20OWTS%2011-8-17%20CP
OW%20Final.mp4?d1=0
Air Quality
PM10 Monitors— EH continues to operate the PM10 filters on the roof of the yellow brick
building.
Radon —January is radon action month. EH will again give out free radon test kits to Pitkin
County Residents.
Hazardous Waste
Possible Mid Valley Household Hazardous Waste Event—This initially came up last year with
the concern about flooding in Basalt but was not completed. Interest in a mid-valley event
came up again at the Orchard Estates source water protection meeting. Paul Hempel has
reached out to the town of Carbondale to discuss their program. Kurt has reached out the
CDPHE to determine if Supplemental Environmental Program (SEP) funds are available.
Land Use Referrals
EH does not have an accurate log of the number of land use referrals completed at this time but
based on the fees collected, we are over the anticipated 2017 proposed budget revenue line
item.
Smuggler Super Fund
• Staff are rewriting the County contaminated soil management protocol previously
created in 2006.
G. Administration and Governance: All agencies are required to establish and maintain
programs, personnel, facilities, information technology, and other resources necessary to
deliver core public health services throughout the agency's jurisdiction.
6
Infrastructure/Facilities
• Conversations have begun on the vision for the HHS building. As Public Health staffing
may grow, staff would like to look for co-location opportunities with the EH Unit.
Policy/Legislation
• Staff, as well as the Pitkin County Environmental Public Health Advocate, have been
following national and state legislation. As is clearly evident there are numerous attacks
being initiated against the Prevention and Public Health Fund supporting the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Environmental Protection Agency Clean Air
and Clean Water Act among others, and the National Park and Monuments system. We
appreciate the responsiveness of the Board of Health and Pitkin County BoCC to put
their support in responding to policy decisions which might impact Public Health
negatively. Our Environmental Public Health Advocate has also been responding to the
letters request as a private concerned citizen.
• The Environmental Health Manager joined the CALPHO policy committee and the
climate action subcommittee.
• The Environmental Health Advocate remains of the NACCHO Environmental Health
Committee. Numerous policy statements have been recently reviewed: Climate Change,
Children's Environmental Health, International Trade that supports consideration for
public health and safety when negotiating with foreign countries, Fluoridation in
community water supplies, Clean Indoor Air, and other policies. He has or will be
stepping down from the following committees/workgroups: 1) CDC Food Safety
Modernization Act Surveillance Working Group, 2) Colorado State University
Environmental Health and Industrial Hygiene undergraduate school community advisory
committee 3)Chair of the NACCHO Environmental Public Health Tracking Work Group,
but remain on the WG.
• I want to thank Tom Dunlop for all of the pro-bono and advocacy work he has done, and
will continue to do for Pitkin County Public Health.
Respectfully submitted,
Karen Koenemann
Public Health Director

Proposed Item Questions and Notes
Time
10:00a Overview of
Meeting
10:05a Public Health Family Planning and NFPRHA Title X funding update - Liz
Memo Update - Stark
Highlights and Title X programs faced defunding threats, and the future is
Questions at risk. This provides low cost and no cost preventive
services to women in low income families, currently 600-700
people per year in Pitkin County. It's been cut from 3 to 2
years and ends 6/31/18. There is a funding opportunity
allowing to re-apply for one year. Asking the BoH to support
funding for Community Health.
Rachel: BOCC tried to weigh in on Federal issues, this
affects our county, BOCC should send letters of support. A
cut of half of funding would be dramatic. Asking Liz to give
BOCC a head's up when to get letters out.
Steve asked about the Mental Health Coordinator Position
Karen: No bids were received on the RFP for a contract
position. The bidding process is foreign to our partners.
Changing from a contract to a temporary position with the
County, until funding ends in June 2018.
George: It might be challenging to fill a temporary position
Jon Peacock: We're not prepared to ask for this as an
ongoing position. There are people out there who do similar
work. We require insurance from contractors. This will be a
temporary position to test the concept. It's the risky and
impactful on the County. If this function adds value it can
lead to future discussions. For now we want to leverage the
grant funding and test the program.
Steve asked about the Child Fatality Review
Karen: Review done for deaths under age 18. Look for
trends and come up with strategies to educate the public.
Were there prevention strategies that could have
happened? We can support education that other entities are
doing.
Jordana: This review also helps us provide feedback to the
State, which is then bumped up to the national level.
Steve asked about the restaurant and septic inspection
process
Kurt: Currently have a staff of two doing inspections and
trying to get permits out. There have been changes in code,
with changes towards risk assessment. These tasks take
more time, which has gone up from 39 minutes in 2014-15
to 59 minutes now. More time is spent educating people.
There was not a slow season last fall.
Rachel: Perhaps we could offer restaurant personnel a
course for training, maybe through CMC? This could be
portable from restaurant to restaurant, and would save time
re-educating. Could we implement over time, making it
voluntary?
Kurt: there has been resistance on this from the Restaurant
Association. FDA food code - there needs to be a certified
rest. Manager at every establishment.
Ann: How does it work in the schools?
Kurt: They are licensed like restaurants, but it is free since
they qualify as a non-profit. The entire school is inspected
for safety.
Greg asked about the Community Conversation with
Seniors
Jordana: Identified major concerns were housing and
transportation. To address housing the Homefit session on
9/15 has 20+ attendees. They learned about home energy
savings and safety. Other providers attended - CORE, Holy
Cross Energy. The next topic of focus will be transportation,
sometime in the next couple of months.
10:15a CHAPS - Regional Mental Health
Priorities Patty: Mental Health a top priority
Rachel: Agrees, suicide is just the tip of the iceberg. What
will a Mental Health Coordinator do?
Karen: Bring together providers from prevention to
after-care, and ensure resources are in the system. Look for
funding to mitigate gaps.
Greg: Why does the Region exclude Mesa county and
Paonia area who are part of our community? How was the
Region chosen?
Jordana: The El Jebel area brought Eagle County in. There
are similarities in population, rural resorts.
Patty: for overall health, don't forget dental and vision.
Integrated health care.
Housing
Rachel: BoH can have a voice here. Not surprised to see it
rise to the top as a priority. Need to create "supportive
housing." What happens to adult special needs children of
seniors and retirees.
Greg: Need to have livable communities
Ann: Add more seasonal housing
10:50a Community Other concerns specific to Pitkin County?
Priorities • Public Health would like to sit at the table for
discussions on Aspen's Climate Action Plan.
• Keep people insured.
• Continue to weigh in at state and federal level
• Air Quality - radon, wildfires, wood stoves, mg
chloride mist
• Food System - pesticides, GMO, locally-produced
food movement
• Financial Health for seniors
• Climate Change
• Water- quality, protect and conserve RF river
Took a poll of the BOCC members to rank their top 3
priorities:
1. Pathways to Health Care
2. Food System
3. Water
Close behind was #4, Air Quality
11:50a BoH Recruitment What groups/areas/positions might be good to add as
for 2018 representatives on the Board considering the priorities?
What expertise is needed?
• Need 5 members minimum, right now there are 7.
• Mix of elected and health professionals, include
environmental health, perhaps, food service, seniors,
be demographically representative.
• Have generalists on Board and bring in specialists
come in to speak on certain topics.
• Similar to Citizen Advisory Boards.
• Members must be advocates/champions for public
health system
Rachel: Through the state or nationally there is training
available. Don't reinvent the wheel, work with other
agencies. Be careful not to have too broad a mandate
where nothing gets done.
Karen: the State BoH can give a presentation on the duties
of the Board, perhaps at the Q4 meeting in December.
Rachel: Healthy Community Fund renewal is in 2018. We
need to continue to look at what our funding needs will be or
none of our plans will go anywhere.

ATTACHMENT D
Pitkin County proposed Graywater Regulations for the Pitkin County Board of Health 12/05/2017
• What is graywater?Graywater is wastewater from showers, bathtubs, laundry machines and
bathroom sinks that is collected to be reused for other applications.
• The potential residential and commercial uses include: outdoor irrigation (different than crop
irrigation), toilet flushing,fire protection, dust control, crop irrigation, and industrial cooling
systems.
• The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's (CDPHE) Water Quality Division
has chosen to allow graywater to be used for outdoor irrigation and toilet flushing and may
expand approved uses in the future.
• Most Western States allow for some type of graywater use.
• In Colorado about 50%of the indoor wastewater discharged is considered graywater.This
equates to about 35 gallons per capita per day(gpcd).
• A study by Denver Water shows that the combined indoor and outdoor use is 85 gpcd of which
50%was outdoor use (which includes lawn irrigation).
• Overall residential water use is only 6.4%of the total water uses (USGS, 2005). Agricultural uses
account for almost 91%of the daily water us in Colorado.
• So, why bother with graywater? Colorado's population is expected to grow by two million
people by 2040 (36%).The Western Slope population is expected to grow to 1,000,000 people
(50%) in the same timeframe. We are not likely to find new sources of water and conservation
and reuse will be a key component. Graywater is not the solution but it can be part of a solution
to address the potential water shortage.
• Why are the regulations so restrictive?Studies show that untreated graywater can have
between 100 to 200,000,000 total coliform bacteria in a 100 mL sample.This means untreated
graywater can be a public health threat.
• There are few studies on graywater and the results show a huge range in the anticipated
bacterial loading. Most of the recent studies indicate bacterial counts 100,000 times greater
than older studies. More quality research is needed.
• Pitkin County previously permitted graywater systems under the Onsite Wastewater Treatment
System (OWTS) Regulations.That authority was taken away in 2014. Graywater was also treated
as blackwater under the OWTS regs and beneficial reuse was not allowed.
• The proposed Pitkin County Graywater Regulations are based on the current Pitkin County
OWTS Regulations.They are a "marriage" of the OWTS permitting, inspection, and licensing
sections with the technical section of the State's Graywater Regulations (Regulation#86).
• The proposed fee for a graywater permit would be$162/hr.This would be for any permit type
(new construction, repair, use, operating) and allows EH some flexibility in charging a fee. As an
example if a person has applications in for both OWTS and Graywater systems, several of the
required documents will be the same for both permits and review time for one of the permits
will be less than a stand-alone permit.
• There will be four permitted categories for graywater use. Single family outdoor irrigation and
toilet flushing and commercial (non-single family) outdoor irrigation and toilet flushing.

as necessary) prior to issuance of a graywater treatment system construction permit.
These may include, but are not limited to, a Pitkin County Community
Development-approved site plan delineating the area(s)approved for development.
Systems must be sited within designated development envelopes, where required.
b. An adequate water supply must be demonstrated for potable water systems in
accordance with Colorado water law, this Regulation and the requirements of the Pitkin
County Land Use Code. An adequate water supply provided by a public water system
requires documentation of approval by the CWQCD and must satisfy the requirements of
the Primary Drinking Water Regulations. Onsite water supply wells must be drilled prior to
approval of a graywater treatment system construction permit application. If a water supply
will not be obtained on site, then additional written documentation demonstrating legal
access to the alternative water supply (e.g., recorded easements) must be provided
c. All graywater treatment system designs must adhere to the technical criteria of
this Regulation with regard to sizing, location, materials, piping, backfill, and other factors.
d. Setbacks from reservoirs, lakes, streams, ditches, wells, wetlands, floodplains,
riparian zones, and other features specified in Section 6.29.100.B.1.g of this Regulation
must be met.
e. Graywater treatment systems shall be designed, constructed, installed, repaired,
replaced and altered in a manner that protects water resources, particularly in
environmentally sensitive or vulnerable areas. Where water bodies are subject to Total
Page 11 of 39
ATTACHMENT E
Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), a graywater treatment system shall only be permitted in
accordance with load allocations assigned under such TMDLs.
f. Graywater treatment systems located in easements shall meet all requirements of
this Regulation. Activity and development restrictions above the graywater treatment
system must be clearly documented and recorded (as necessary).
g. OWTS system components (tanks, soil treatment area, etc.), wells, springs, other
bodies of water, riparian areas, and wetlands within 100 feet of an graywater treatment
system soil treatment bed or trench shall be identified on the site plan submitted to the
Department in connection with a permit application
5. Final Approval
a. The licensed systems contractor or property owner (if an authorized
self-installation has occurred) shall request a final inspection of the graywater treatment
system from the Department and the PE who designed the system prior to backfilling of
any excavation related to the system or its components. If a dosing device is installed,
one complete cycle of that device must be observed by the PE designing the graywater
treatment system and/or the Department. In the event the Department is called for a final
inspection of an graywater treatment system and the graywater treatment system is not
ready for a final inspection on the date specified, the applicant shall be assessed an
additional fee for staff time spent traveling to and from the site, using the Department's
hourly rate. This fee must be paid prior to receipt of final system approval.
b. Following inspection, final grading must be completed and an "as-built" drawing
shall be submitted to the Department, including, at a minimum, a site plan showing actual
construction details and the actual locations of graywater treatment system components,
including GPS coordinates. For graywater treatment systems constructed under
supervision of a PE, the PE shall also certify in writing to the Department that construction
and installation of the system have been completed in accordance with the terms of the
engineered design that was submitted to and approved by the Department. "As-built"
drawings must be received by the Department within 30 days of final inspection by the
Department, unless a longer period of time has been agreed to by the Department, in
writing. The Department shall assess an additional permit fee (which must be paid prior to
receipt of final system approval) if an "as-built"drawing is not timely received.
c. The system contractor shall be identified prior to final approval
d. Prior to final approval of the graywater treatment system, the applicant shall
demonstrate, in writing, that all indoor plumbing and components related to graywater use
and subject to a Pitkin County Plumbing Permit from the Pitkin County Building
Department have been given final approval by that Department. Where construction of
graywater plumbing has not been completed, a written letter from the Pitkin County
Building Department stating it is acceptable that Pitkin EH give final approval, is required.
e. If the Department determines that the graywater treatment system has been
constructed, installed, altered, repaired, replaced, and/or relocated in accordance with this
Regulation and the permit requirements, the Department shall issue final approval for the
completed system. If the review and/or inspection discloses any significant departure from
the location or design of the graywater treatment system as stated in the application and
permit, or if any aspect of the graywater treatment system fails to comply with this
Regulation, final approval shall be withheld. Written notice of the deficiency(ies) shall be
provided to the applicant. Final approval shall be granted only when a reinspection has
occurred and the system has been determined to be in compliance with the requirements
Page 12 of 39
ATTACHMENT E
stated above. Additional reinspection(s) may be subject to additional fees as outlined in
the Pitkin County Environmental Health Fee Ordinance.

monetary penalty for each day of violation. Such penalty shall be not less than $25 per day,
nor more than $100 per day. In determining the amount of the penalty to be assessed, the
Public Health Director shall consider the seriousness of the danger to the public health and
the environment caused by the violation, the duration of the violation, and whether the
person has previously been determined to have committed a similar violation. A penalty
may be assessed only after a hearing that shall be conducted by the Public Health Director
after written notice is given to the owner(s)of the property on which the graywater treatment
system is located and at which the owner(s) may be present, with counsel, and be heard.
Service of notice of the hearing shall be provided according to the Colorado Rules of Civil
Procedure, or by overnight mail to the owner's(s') last known address, as shown on the
records of the Pitkin County Assessor's Office. Service by overnight mail shall be
considered complete one business day after mailing. If the owner(s) cannot be found or
served after a diligent effort to do so, service may be made by posting a notice in a location
conspicuous on or about the property affected by the notice.

C. Standards of Performance
1. General
a. Performance: A graywater treatment system shall be designed and constructed to
achieve the treatment level specified.
b. Reliability: graywater treatment systems shall be designed and constructed such
that each component shall function, when installed and operated, in a manner not
adversely affected by normal operating conditions including erosion, corrosion,
vibration, shock, climatic conditions, and usual household chemicals. Each
component shall be free of non-functional protrusions or sharp edges, or other
hazards, which could cause injury to persons, animals, or properties. Design shall
be such as to exclude flies and rodents and other vectors and to prevent the
creation of nuisances and public health hazards and shall provide for efficient
operation and maintenance.
c. It is the responsibility of the systems contractor, cleaner, or inspector to report to
the property owner(s) and the Department, in writing, the discovery of any
Page 37 of 39
ATTACHMENT E
prohibited component of an graywater treatment system (such as a metal tank or
cesspool), or a malfunctioning system.
d. Plumbing Codes: Plumbing fixtures, building sewers, vents, sewer lines and other
appurtenances shall be designed, operated and maintained so as to comply with
the minimum requirements of the most recently revised locally enforceable
plumbing code. In absence of a local plumbing code, designs shall adhere to the
Colorado Plumbing Code (3 CCR 720-1). A local plumbing permit may be required.
e. Surface Activity: Activity or use on the surface of the ground over any part of the
graywater treatment system must be restricted to that which shall allow the system
to function as designed and which shall not contribute to compaction of the soil or to
structural loading detrimental to the structural integrity or capability of the
component to function as designed. During construction, equipment shall be kept
off of the ground surface above the soil treatment area and out of the excavation to
prevent compaction. If compaction occurs, the disturbed or compacted soil shall be
re-evaluated and new percolation tests may be performed to the disturbed or
compacted soil and the system redesigned if the parameters have changed.
2. Additional Standards of Performance for Licensed Systems Contractors
The systems contractor shall be responsible for making arrangements for all inspections
required for final approval of a graywater treatment system construction permit, unless the
Department is notified and approves other arrangements.
3. Additional Standards of Performance for Licensed Systems Cleaners
a. Systems cleaners, when cleaning a tank or other primary treatment unit, shall
remove the liquid, sludge and scum, leaving no more than 3 inches depth of
wastewater in a non-backflowing tank or other primary treatment unit. In
backflowing types of systems, cleaning shall be effective in reducing solids and
scum to the point of a near-new system. A dosing or pumping chamber is not
required to be pumped unless accumulation of sludge or scum interferes with the
proper operation of the graywater treatment system.
b. After pumping the tank or other primary treatment unit, a systems cleaner shall
inspect the tees, baffles, aerator unit, pumps, alarms, filters, siphons and other
internal or external components of the tank(s) being pumped and notify the property
owner(s), in writing, if any of these components are damaged or missing. Any
filters, or other devices which require routine maintenance and cleaning shall be
inspected and cleaned by the systems cleaner, if necessary.
c. Systems cleaners shall maintain their equipment to ensure that no spillage of

subjected to hazards. Systems cleaners are strongly encouraged to have proper
personal protective equipment and immunizations for protection against diseases
associated with wastewater.
d. Systems cleaners shall dispose of waste materials removed from any graywater
treatment system only at an approved Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant, as
defined by CWQCC Regulation No. 22, or other site approved by the CWQCD that
is willing to accept the waste. Disposal must occur in a manner that does not create
a hazard to public health, a nuisance, or a risk of pollution.
4. Additional Standards of Performance for Licensed Systems Inspectors
Page 38 of 39
ATTACHMENT E
It is the responsibility of the systems inspector to report to the property owner(s) and
the Department, in writing, the discovery of any prohibited component of a
graywater treatment system, encroachment into setback distances specified in Section
6.29.100.B.1 of this Regulation, any evidence of a malfunctioning system or component, an
inadequately sized graywater treatment system, or lack of adequate servicing of mechanical

ATTACHMENT G
To the BOH:
Every day 91 Americans die from an opioid overdose.Annual deaths have quadrupled since 2000. What
caused this terrible epidemic? What is being done already to combat it, and what can we do to help?
In response to your appreciated interest and request, as the Pitkin County Medical Officer I would like to
present a timely and important overview of the opioid epidemic today. Using a power point
presentation, I will first walk through the epidemiology of the problem describing both nationwide and
state-specific data. A brief discussion about the roots and complex causes of this epidemic stemming
from the 1990s will ensue.As an important basis for understanding this epidemic, I'd like to then define
what an opioid is, discuss the different types, and describe simple brain physiology to create a better
understanding of the drug, and specifically teaching you exactly how dependence and addiction occurs
in the body.
After that introduction to the problem, I'd like to spend most of my time on the main way we are
currently addressing and combating this important epidemic- nationally, state-wide, and locally. I'll
address four main ways:
1) Decreasing the supply by changing provider prescribing patterns;
2)Addiction treatment options and increasing their accessibility and availability;
3) Improving overdose treatment to save lives, and fighting the war against drugs; and
4) Increasing awareness and education of providers, patients, and the community.
In preview, I will be discussing new guidelines and initiatives for providers who treat pain that include
non-opioids as first line. Addiction treatment options will include MAT(medication-assisted treatment)
and need for concurrent counseling. Naloxone (narcan) will be the focus for treating overdoses and how
to make it more available in the community to save lives. Education will be key moving forward—to
increase awareness and real understanding of the epidemic, and to create some cultural shifts away
from our biases against drug addiction and those who are inflicted by it.
Lastly, I'd like to review some of the successes at the national and state level so far in these areas, and
look ahead at how much more work we all need to do to address this terrible epidemic. I will end with
some suggestions on what we can do locally to address this issue, and legislation we can support at the
state level to continue to move forward.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
WORK SESSION MEEING DATE: December 5, 2017
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Legislative Process
STAFF RESPONSIBLE: Kara Silbernagel
ISSUE STATEMENT:
During the 2017 Board Retreat the BOCC prioritized state and federal policy issues as a big rock for
the organization. The Board directed staff to establish principles and outline a process for legislative
affairs that arise at both the state and federal level.
BACKGROUND:
The BOCC has been very active at the state level through its membership organizations, such as
Colorado Counties, Inc, Club 20, etc. In addition, the BOCC has directed staff to also engage in
other issues outside of these organizations through professional organizations or board-approved
resolutions, specifically human services, public lands and oil and gas development. Items that arise
outside of either specific issues or are of critical concern typically are addressed individually during
Board meetings with letters of support or denial to state and federal delegation drafted by the staff,
reviewed and approved by the Board.
However with administrative changes at the federal level and increasing polarization even at the
state level, there are many more issues constantly arising that threaten the values of our community
and the County's local control to maintain these values. The volume of the issues has significantly
increased as well as the speed at which response is necessitated. The current process of drafting a
letter, Board review during meeting and approval creates an extremely reactive urgency to each
issue.
Simultaneously, in somewhat of a response to these increasing threats, as well as the increasing
complexity of several of the issues, there are a number of associations that have emerged with a
more singular focus or more closely reflect the values of our community. The County has increased
its representation at the state and federal level through these associations including Counties and
Commissioners Acting Together(CCAT), Colorado Counties for Climate Action(CC4CA), and
professional representation within the Colorado Association of Local Public Health Officials
(CALPHO) and West Mountain Regional Health Alliance (WMRHA).
In an effort to streamline the County's legislative process, as much as possible given the volume and
urgency that is inherit in legislative action, staff have developed legislative principles to prioritize
issues and create an umbrella for topics of County concern. Also included in the packet is a table of
the associations the County has representation either at the staff or Board level. It is not a
comprehensive list of all associations,but represents those organizations that are politically active
and/or take positions at the state and federal level. The table lists also includes the legislative
priorities for each association.
Staff is seeking approval of the legislative principles and agreement with the legislative priorities of
the associations. With approval, the existing process can shift to enable proactive responsiveness and
strategic action. Instead of presenting letters for Board approval during worksessions or regular
meetings before responding, which increases the response time of the County, with the approved
principles and priorities staff will have the discretion to respond to legislative issues through action
with the member associations. Staff will report back to BOCC on action taken through these member
associations. As part of the report out, the county is now using a legislative tracking system that
tracks state legislative activity and activity of each membership so that staff and Board may be better

legislative priorities does the Board disagree with?
• What, if any, issues outlined in the member associations chart are issues of critical concern to
the County and will should anticipate County response rather than association response?
• What type of report out would the Board like? Staff will be tracking all bills of County

does the Board want to receive this information?
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Staff included the purchase of the legislative tracking system in the 2018 budget. Cost is $1300.
