Solar PB System Update:
Presented by Joe Fuqua. The project is already approved but behind because of COVID. The
cost has gone up around $36,000. The total original cost was $414,000, new is $445,000. We
have capital credits from Mountain Parks Electric. The managers all think i
on board. No vote was made.
Industrial Sampling and Flow Monitoring Project 2022:
Presented by Jim Fox. Per the report the breweries and distilleries are discharging higher that
residential. Cannon asked what next steps would be. The opinion from legal is to NOT sell taps
to any new brewery and distillery businesses. Ferrari asked how we would protect ourselves from
new use on existing buildings. Riordan shared an EQR spreadsheet on the breweries and
distilleries, with flows, daily loading, and calculated additional EQRs needed would be 1122. Per
the JFOC agreement on the EQR schedule for JFF, and EQR equals a max daily load of 270
gallons and 0.6 of BODs. Each district should re-evaluate the impact of the discharge if it is
exceeding the equivalent of a single family residence. The plant was designed for domestic
strength wastewater. Our current unsold EQRs are 2529. Cannon recommends a follow-up
meeting in February; Jacobs should have a draft report soon. The JFOC needs to look at
administrative controls. Weier asked if a consultant could come in and work with each of the
breweries and distilleries. McWilliams said in the report Direct Discharge says to create best
management practices specific to each brewery and distillery. Should the JFOC hire a consultant
for that? Riordan said the JFOC should not be at the front on this; we need to tell the breweries
and distilleries they have a problem and they need to fix it. It was discussed that Town of Fraser
and Grand County #1 should reach out to the breweries and distilleries in their district. The districts
should add a No Discharge rule and enforce current rules in their respective rules and regulations.
Hanlson said we should audit actual use and then make changes. McWilliams said the managers
Cannon said we could do additional sampling to see if grease traps or restaurant waste are
contributing to the problem. Pretreatment filtration systems to capture the solids may be

necessary. Riordan asked if the districts would offer grants to the breweries and distilleries to
implement pretreatment systems, and Weier asked who would inspect the systems when
complete. Carroll said the districts also need access to verify the equipment is working properly.
