The goal is to work collaboratively with participants to clearly define the issue and to collectively design a study plan during the comment period for this scoping process. Participating parties and Denver Water will strive to reach agreement through a collaborative process on the issues to be studied, the appropriate methodologies to use in conducting the studies, and analyzing and interpreting the data. Denver Water's goal is to complete this initial collaborative process and incorporate the results into Scoping Document 2 (SD2) by April 17,2003. 5.2.1 Noise Issue: I. No increase in the level of noise is expected, even with the addition of the new small hydro turbine unit. Studies: I. No studies are proposed at this time. 5.2.2 Geology and Soils Issue: I. Are there any significant eroded areas within the FERC Project area? Studies: I. Identify and map extent of eroded areas. 5.2.3 Water Quality and Quantity Issue: I. Will the proposed increase in power capacity degrade dissolved oxygen and temperature range requirements for fish species downstream from the Williams Fork Dam within the FERC Project area? Studies: I. Quantify current water quality conditions below the Williams Fork Dam and determine if the operation of the proposed increase in power capacity will affect the dissolved oxygen and temperature range requirements for fish species within the FERC Project area downstream of the Williams Fork Dam. 17
