Special Review Use Permit

The Project Participants have applied to the Fremont Board of County Commissioners for a Special Review Use Permit, required for work on the Highway 115 Alternative to proceed.

At a hearing on February 10, 2009, the Commissioners expressed support for SDS in Fremont County and voted to consider approval of the pending land use permit application for the project as early as February 24.

The SDS Project Participants submitted their application for the Special Review Use Permit on September 10, 2008. The permit would outline Fremont County’s requirements related to construction, technical issues and mitigation of impacts.

Fremont County and Colorado Springs signed an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) in April 2008 establishing a process for Colorado Springs to work with Fremont County on review of proposals and reimbursement of costs incurred by Fremont County for the review of permit applications associated with SDS. The agreement also states the parties will work together to identify and plan for mitigation of potential SDS impacts.
