<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Town requested proposals from engineering consulting firms in September 1996 for the . <br />hydrology and water rights analyses and selected Hydrosphere of Boulder to perform the study. <br />CWCB staff has reviewed and approved the Scope of Work submitted by Hydrosphere and will <br />be involved in the study process at the request of the Town. The cost of the study is estimated at <br />$18,895. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Town has undertaken these additional analyses specifically at the request of the CWCB <br />staff. We feel that this is an extremely important ana.Jysis prior to design of the pipeline and that <br />the Town is to be commended for the "extra effort" that this study represents. Staff is <br />recommending a Severance Tax Trust Fund grant for approximately one-half of the study costs. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> <br />Staff recommends a grant of $9,500 from the Operational Account of the Severance Tax Trust <br />Fund to the Town of Palisade for the purpose of conducting a watershed yield and systems <br />operation study of the Town's source of water supply in the Rapid Creek and Cottonwood Creek <br />Basins. <br /> <br />cc: Jack Yates, Town of Palisade <br />Lee Rozaklis, Hydrosphere <br />Linda Bassi, AGO <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1:\boardmem\jan97\jan I Oa.doc <br /> <br />. <br />
