The 545-page annual report is thick! https://drive.google.com/file/d/19PrRHjU9CfgUtrT50WwmcV5JMioB86HW/view

But here are some stats:

  • The trucks get 6 miles per gallon, and in 2021, they made 2,725 truck trips between the Truck Loading Facility in Johnson Village and the Denver bottling plant. Only 3 of their truck drivers live within 25 miles of Chaffee County. (page 454).
  • Still no conservation easement, as promised in 2009, “concurrent with construction of the project.” (page 40)
  • Eight noxious weeds were identified on their property. (page 48)
  • In 2021, they pumped on average 62,465 gallons of water per day in an area classified as being in extreme drought conditions (page 197).
  • They consider donating 42,099 single-use plastic bottles of water in 2021 to organizations in Colorado as a benefit (page 33).
