Facility Overview

• To provide for the safety, welfare, and control of pet animals and livestock on the reservation.

1 72

The Animal Control team and operations are a part of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe’s Natural Resource
Enforcement Division, a division of the Department of Justice and Regulatory Department. The mission of the
Animal Control Program within Natural Resource Enforcement is the following:

• To protect the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe.
• To protect property, pets, animals, and livestock from abuse, neglect, or disease.
The Animal Control Program is a self-sufficient program that, in addition to sheltering animals, provides free
vaccine clinics for the community. The program is a no-kill shelter and will remain as such moving forward.
Animals are sent to La Plata shelter for adoption. The Animal Control Program serves both tribal lands and the
greater Ignacio area. The shelter houses dogs, cats, horses and cattle.

2.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS

General Observations

Located in a remote area of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe’s campus, the Animal Control facility is housed
in a modular building which has outlasted its expected lifespan. The building was converted with minimal
alteration into the Animal Control Facility which has limited it from fulfilling its full purpose. The facility contains
several offices and small animal kennels. Dog kennels are located outside in a covered shed-type building.
The existing building area is approximately 1,500 sf. Several needs and challenges were identified during the
team’s site visit:
STORAGE
EMPTY
AREA 148 SF

1.

Aged modular construction reaching the end of its useful life

2.

Exterior kennel space only, interior kennel space for larger animals required per PACFA
Standards and ASV Guidelines

3.

Need additional kennel space for quantity of animals

4.

Lack of office space for staff

5.

Lack of locker rooms and shower area

6.

Lack of positive waiting room experience.

7.

Lack of space for potential growth.

8.

Lack of dedicated Break Room.

9.

Lack of dedicated cat space

10.

Lack of dedicated area for puppies per regulation.

11.

Lack of space required for examining animals

12.

No enclosed area for animal drop-off

13.

Building construction type and materials lack durability & clean-ability

14.

Lack of secured food storage area

15.

Several MEP systems are approaching end of their lifespans

Over 10 dogs = 14 times over the 6-year period
Over 15 dogs = 4 times over the 6-year period
Over 20 dogs = 1 time over the 6-year period
The average dog population is 7 for 2019-2024**
**Kennel Capacity Planning Statement:
Based on an analysis of average intake rates and
anticipated fluctuations, a total of ten kennels
has been determined to be the optimal quantity
to meet operational needs. This number not only
accommodates the typical daily intake but also
provides a buffer to manage occasional surges in
animal admissions, ensuring continued efficiency and
animal welfare without exceeding capacity.

Cat Intake from 2019-2024 Overview:
Over 10 cats = 9 times over the 6-year period
Over 15 cats = 2 times over the 6-year period

2.4 SITE ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
This narrative outlines the existing conditions and construction challenges of the site
to be used for a future SUIT Animal control building. Background data for this feasibility
assessment was obtained through historical topographic, utility, and boundary surveys.
The background data gathered is supplemented by information gathered from SUIT
Utilities GIS datasets, review of as-built plans from archives, review geotechnical reports
from archives, and site inspection visits.

New Sanitary Sewer
Connection @ manhole Summer 2026

12/8/2021 3:59:57 PM

The 4.09-acre animal control site is situated off State Highway 172, south of Ignacio. The
existing site is adjacent to active gas lines and an active well pad. Existing structures
sit on the edge of a 200 feet setback from the existing working well pad surface. Along
with constraints imposed by the working well setback, there are also SIMCOE wastewater
and gas lines running through the site, following the existing gravel driveway running
northwest to southeast. Presumptively, there is a 50-foot easement along the centerline
of the working pipes. The site also contains an archaeologically sensitive area that is to
be avoided in the northwest corner. The existing building’s sewer conveys wastewater
into a manhole on site. The existing building receives water from a recently replaced SUIT
utilities water line to the south of the property line, where the meter and water service line
have recently been reconnected. Sewer, water, fiber optic, and gas service extensions will
all connect to the new facility without necessitating new main extensions. The existing
buiding utilities are adequately size to temporarily remain active during construction of
the new facility. The existing servcies including domestic water, sanitary sewer, power
will need to demolished and/or capped with the demolition of the existing buiding for long
term use of the new facility. The existing soil surrounding the site is lean clay with sand
and gravel and drainage around the site relies solely on surface grading and infiltration.

3.8 GRADING & SITE UTILITIES REPORT
Site Improvements and Feasibility
This project’s primary limitations are the constraints posed by the existing gas
infrastructure and the setbacks that come with it. Assuming the gas well setback is
applicable on SUIT land, around half of the site is available for a new building.
The location of underground gas infrastructure around the site has been confirmed
through survey. Site demolition will be limited to removing the existing sheds,
concrete pads, and fencing for the current outdoor kennels.
General grading improvements surrounding the proposed building may produce
excess earthen material, which could be reused elsewhere on site to reduce steep
grades at proposed outdoor play areas.
Roof drains can be used to convey storm water away from the proposed building to
infiltration depressions equipped with native plants and permeable soil. Vehicular
access is available through the current gravel driveway, which will be improved with
a asphalt parking lot and driveway extension to a sally port.
