Neil, the Executive Vice President of the North <br />Fork Water Conservancy District, Paonia Project, presented a report <br />prepared by a private construction firm concluding that the Fire Mountain <br />Canal needed additional improvements which were estimated to cost over <br />$1,000,000. At the same time, the Conservancy District requested an <br />extension of the project development period beyond the legal limit of 10 <br />years allowing more time to accom:plish the recOllllllended work. <br /> <br />Responding to their request we made a rather thorough field review of <br />the Fire Mountain Canal and a reappraisal of the District's ability to <br />pay both construction and operating costs in light of the current price <br />structure. These studies and analyses are detailed in the attached <br />copy of a report prepared by our project office in Grand Junction. <br /> <br />The District has recent1Jr asked me to present our findings and conclusions <br />at an official meeting with the Board. I would like to have you sit in on <br />this discussion if you can make it. We tentatively plan to meet sometime <br />during the week of February 28. If we begin by 11:00 a.m. you could take <br />the 9:05 a.m. Frontier Flight 61 and return on the 3:45 p.m. Flight 572 <br />the same da;y. <br /> <br />Please let me .know if you can make it and what day you would prefer. <br /> <br />Sincere1Jr yours, <br /> <br /> <br />Regional Director <br /> <br />Enclosure <br /> <br />
