<br />Upper Colorado River Basin Study <br />Scope of Work <br /> <br />October 1, 1998 <br /> <br />A.single half-day meeting with the Management Committee is anticipated to review the <br />proposed database design, record/field structure and method of implementation. A memo <br />describing the database contents and structure will be provided to the Management <br />Committee. <br /> <br />4.3 Develop Natural Flows <br /> <br />For some stream locations of interest, natural flows for 1947-1991 period of record will <br />be developed based on P ACSM natural flows and other existing studies. Natural flows at <br />intermediate locations will be interpolated using a "flow-splitting" interpolation process <br />based on work previously done in the Summit County Small Reservoir Feasibility Study. <br />Natural flows will be developed on a daily time step and will be incorporated into the <br />water resources database. Monthly summary tables of derived natural flows and a memo <br />describing their derivation will be provided to the Management Committee. <br /> <br />4.4 Compile Water Quality Data <br /> <br />Existing and readily available water quality data for the basin will be compiled, focusing <br />on identified locations of interest. Water quality data for ambient stream and reservoir <br />conditions, wastewater discharges and stream sediments will be included. A list of <br />parameters to be included for specific locations of interest will be developed in <br />consultation with study participants. This effort will focus primarily on water quality <br />data that are paired with flow conditions and that have been collected within the last 10 <br />years. Consideration of stormwater flows will also be included. Two meetings dedicated <br />to this effort are anticipated: one with QQ staff and interested participants to develop a <br />list of available data sources and parameters of interest, and one "mid-course" meeting <br />with the Management Committee to review data collection efforts and address <br />unexpected problems. Compiled water quality data will be incorporated into the water <br />resources database. <br /> <br />4.5 Update In-Basin Water User Data <br /> <br />A variety of water resources data will be compiled for in-basin water users including <br />existing and projected future water demands (including monthly demand patterns for wet, <br />dry and average years), water rights/water supply portfolios, diversion, storage and return <br />flow facilities. This effort will utilize data previously collected under the Summit County <br />Small Reservoir Feasibility Study, the Clinton Reservoir Operating Plan, the Fraser River <br />Basin Study, the Green Mountain Marketing EIS and CRDSS. A series of meetings with <br />QQ staff, individual water user representatives and SEO District commissioners to update <br />this information are anticipated as part of this effort. Compiled in-basin water user data <br />will be incorporated into the water resources database. A memo summarizing the service <br />areas, existing and future water demands, water supply portfolios and water system <br /> <br />5 <br />
