<br />( <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />4/26/90 <br /> <br />SCOPE OF STUDY <br /> <br />BEAR CREEK RESERVOIR OPERATIONS STUDY <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />In May. 1979. the Indian Hills Water District. the Genesee <br />Water and Sanitation District. the Evergreen Metropolitan <br />District. and the Town of Morrison requested storage space in <br />the permanent pool in Bear Creek Reservoir from the Department <br />of Natural Resources. The reservoir is a Corps of Engineers' <br />flood control facility located on Bear Creek near Lakewood and <br />Morrison. The then Executive Director of the Department gave <br />tentative approval to these requests. which totaled 305 a.f.. <br />on the condition that the State would not grant final approval <br />until a complete operating plan was submitted by each entity <br />for review by the Department and until approval was secured <br />from the Corps of Engineers. <br /> <br />Additional storage space has been requested by Genesee. <br />Evergreen. Mt. Carbon and the City of Lakewood for the storage <br />of municipal and augmentation water supplies. Morrison has <br />advised all parties that it will relinquiSh 100 a.f. of space. <br />This space has been reassigned to Genesee as per their written <br />requests. The requests for storage space subsequent to these <br />requests totalled 2025 a.f. <br /> <br />In February. 1988. the City of Englewood requested that <br />they be included with the other six entities as a recipient of <br />storage space in Bear Creek Reservoir. The six entities did <br />not object to Englewood's participation in this study or use of <br />storage capacity in Bear Creek Reservoir provided that: <br /> <br />a. Their storage in the permanent pool is not adversely <br />affected. <br /> <br />b. Englewood's request for 600 a.f. of storage space will <br />be accommodated only in the flood control pool. <br /> <br />c. Increasing the amount of storage in the flood control <br />pool by 600 a.f. will not prevent Corps of Engineers <br />approval of a plan of augmentation. and <br /> <br />d. The cost of the study and the evaporation loss on the <br />permanent pool would be shared by Englewood. <br /> <br />84982-4 <br />\ <br />
