C-12 Louviers Property Donation and Conservation Easement Map

C-13 Property Reuse Parcel I –Will remain open space –No institutional controls required Property was part of the site buffer zone, no contamination –It will be used for nature trails and wildlife habitat –Security will be provided by Douglas County Fish and Wildlife Trespassing had been an issue for DuPont –Prime habitat for the Preble’s Jumping Mouse, an endangered species –Along with approximately 200 protected species of vegetation

C-14 Property Reuse (Cont.) Parcel II –Property will be non-public open space –Connects a migratory pathway for elk and creates an area for wildlife habitat and for grazing –DuPont retains ownership of the property until closure of the landfills is obtained –Then the parcel will be transferred to the Douglas County Fish and Wildlife as a property donation

C-15 Planning Process Parties involved –Douglas County Open Space –The Conservation Fund –DuPont Corporate Real Estate, DuPont Safety, Health, and Environmental Group, and DuPont Corporate Remediation Group –Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment Challenges –The amount of involvement with the Village of Louviers Rapid expansion of Highlands Ranch –Liability issues and municipalities Douglas County sought indemnification from environmental liability

C-16 Planning Process (Cont.) Drivers –Site was an excellent candidate for DuPont’s Land Legacy Program –Establishment of open space in a fast growing county –Donation and Easement to the county that had supported the site –Residents of the village and Douglas County wanted the property to remain an open space (“no more Walmarts”) –Future liability to DuPont for managing the property with no presence in the area Trespassing (unlawful hunting, ATV use, fires, etc.) Vandalism Squatters use of the property

C-17 Financial Realities Estimated value of donated property –Approximately $3,000,000 Lower taxes for DuPont at Louviers –Total property taxes are approximately $20,000/year –One time reduction in income tax Decreased DuPont’s personal liability exposure –Injuries during trespassing, etc.

C-18 Lessons Learned It is easier to sell property than to donate it Donations take a very long time –The Louviers donation took three years to complete Municipalities will not accept any liability –Had to carve out the two SWMUs on the Phase I parcel Keep lines of communications open –Communicate often and document
