Site Consideration
A main staging area large enough to allow the majority of the cattle proper rotation is required. A network of sites around the city will allow the cattle supplemental area of occupation and will allow for spreading of desirable seeds requiring scarification for germination.

Staging Potential
Stapleton Redevelopment is the nation's largest infill development. Build out is planned for 2020 at a total cost of 4 billion dollars. Soils surrounding the terminal, concourse and maintenance areas will need remediation from petroleum products [jet fuel, gasoline and diesel fuel], solvents [tricholoroethene (tce) + other cleaning/degreasing compounds], methane [product of natural breakdown of deicing agents] and nitrates [deicing agents and fertilizers prior to airport development]. Petroleum products have been detected in both the soil and ground water. Methane is found in the soil, while solvents and nitrates have been detected in the ground water. Forest City Development will not purchase the land from the city until remediation standards established by Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and the Division of Oil and Public Safety are fulfilled.

Developer claim that Stapleton is a sustainable community, but is it really?

Initial
Stapleton currently has 1,765 acres of contaminated soils. This land is ideal for HRM-type reclamation.
