<br />w <br /> <br /> <br />Our studies guided by this criteria yield the remaining <br />basin conditions shown on'the bottom of Exhibit 4. <br /> <br />As a result of site selection studies to determine the <br />hydrologic advantages of the Weld County or Narrows sites, it <br />became evident that at some future time a need will exist for <br />other basin facilities. <br /> <br />Exhibit 5 shows the remaining storable flows from Denver to <br />the Weld County site by lower solid line and slightly above it <br />the line representing the remaining demands so you can see that <br />at the 1990 level there is almost enough water to meet the demands <br />of the presently irrigated land, if the water represented by the <br />lower line were stored and controlled to meet the demands <br />represented by the upper line. <br /> <br />This vertical rise of the storable flow line near the left <br />of the chart represents that portion of the effluent from the <br />proposed metropolitan sewage disposal plant which cannot be put <br />to use without construction of additional facilities. The left <br />edge of the chart represents the location of the Burlington <br />headgate and so the chart starts showing a sizable remaining <br />demand because of the Burlington needs. These two lines are <br />drawn for the 1990 time level. The Weld County site could <br />exchange 15,000 acre-feet back up to the Burlington Canal, so <br />until the time storable water is available in excess of this <br />amount below Denver no additional facility at this point is <br />'needed. <br /> <br />Both the remaining demands and storable flow lines, of course, <br />drop to zero at the Weld County dam site because of the service <br />this feature can perform. The storable flows begin to show up <br />in the river again several miles below the dam and remaining <br />demands begin here with the North Sterling ditch headgate. This <br />reach where the remaining demands are zero indicates that the <br />Weld County site at the 1990 level fully supplies all demands <br />of the Bijou, Riverside, Ft. Morgan and all canals down to the <br />North Sterling ditch. The feature meets only part of tpe demands <br />of the North Sterling ditch. <br /> <br />At the 1990 level we see an appreciable amount of storable <br />flow below Sterling with a demand also indicated showing that by <br />1990 a feature in this location could be of service. Both lines <br />rise appreciably between this point and the State line showing <br />that another feature in the vicinity of Julesburg could perform <br />a service if it could be economically justified. <br />
