D. RELATIONSHIP TO ENERGY /MINERAL IMPACT. The statutory purpose to the Energy and Mineral Impact
Assistance program is to provide financial assistance to "political subdivisions socially or economically impacted by the
development, processing or energy conversion of minerals and mineral fuels This section of the application is intended
to provide an opportunity for the applicant to describe its energy /mineral impacts, both direct and indirect, and the
relationship of application to those impacts.
1. Explain how this project is directly or indirectly related to energy /mineral impacts, including whether it mitigates
any adverse impacts.
The purpose of the planning effort is to help mitigate the long -term impacts to Pueblo's Charter
Neighborhoods, resulting from fluctuating economic conditions in the steel and railroad industry as they
are impacted by the energy /mineral sections of the economy and to ensure that the new growth in the
community benefits both the City and the County.
2. a. What direct energy /mineral impacts are being experienced by the applicant? Examples of direct impacts
include: road /bridge /culvert damage, fire protection /emergency medical services, dust suppression,
sound /visual mitigation, weed control, economic boom/busts and other direct physical, social or economic
impacts.
The 2000 Census confirms that the growth rate in Pueblo is the lowest of any major metropolitan area
along the Front Range. The community is still being adversely impacted by the energy bust of the 1980
b. What types and amounts of local funds and resources are being used by the applicant to address
direct energy /mineral impacts? Examples of funds and resources include: road and bridge funds,
Highway User Trust Fund allocations, industry assessments or contributions, sales or property taxes,
staff time, etc.
Pueblo has a 0.5 -cent sales tax which is used to attract primary jobs, and we use numerous funding sources
to create affordable housing and create community amenities.
3. List energy /mineral activities (past, present and future) affecting the applicant. Be as specific as possible by listing
company names, locations, production levels, employment levels, etc. Include not only production projects (e.g., oil,
gas, carbon dioxide, coal, molybdenum, gold, etc.), but also processing, transmission (e.g., oil /gas pipelines, electric
transmission lines, etc.), transportation (e.g., roads, rail lines, etc.) and energy conversion facilities (e.g., coal and
gas -fired electric generating facilities).
Subsequent to the strike in the fall of 1997, RMS is operating with a workforce of approximately 300 less than
at the pre- strike level. RMS employment is directly related to demand for seamless tube products for oil
industry. This has experienced considerable fluctuation in recent years. Abandonment of rail lines located
E/W through Pueblo has been resulting from the UP /SP rail merger has resulted in the loss of approximately
139 workers. Also, shipment of coal ENV through Pueblo has been eliminated. Prior to the abandonment,
the UP /SP RR shipped four trainloads of coal per day through Pueblo, each train consisting of 105 cars.
Although RMS plans to reopen the seamless tube mill, employment generally has shown a decline
subsequent to the 1997 steel strike.
4. Are energy /mineral companies that impact the applicant jurisdiction aware of and supportive of this request?
Yes X_ No Attach supporting documentation when appropriate.
Rocky Mountain Steel is a partner within the Bessemer Neighborhood Partnership.
E. OTHER PROJECT INFORMATION
1. Why is the project needed? What are the specific goals of the project?

itself to relieve some of the growth pressure experienced along the Front Range. This action will make
Pueblo more competitive to attract growth.
