<br />Social, Economic, and Physical Impacts <br /> <br />The project will have no significant social impacts. <br /> <br />Although Glen Toyne will be impacted with costs associated with <br />his portion of construction and loan repayment, the project will <br />have a long term positive economic impact by assuring a more <br />certain source of augmentation for the Toyne farm. The Toyne farm <br />will also be able to reduce their assessments with GASP and may <br />have excess augmentation water available to lease for financial <br />compensation. <br /> <br />The project will have no significant physical impacts once <br />construction is complete. The new well will occupy a minimal <br />amount of space down close to the river and the pipe line from <br />the well will be buried underground. The recharge pond ground <br />will have setting water part of the year but will generally <br />return to its current appearance once the water percolates back <br />into the ground. <br /> <br />Per.mitting <br /> <br />All easements and rights of way have been arranged for. <br /> <br />The Toyne farm expects to be exempt from 404 permitting. This <br />will be confirmed with the Denver District, Army Corps of <br />Engineers. <br /> <br />Financial Plan <br /> <br />The total cost of the project is $115,000. $75,600 or 66% may <br />come from a loan with the Colorado Water Conservation Board, and <br />the remainder from the project sponsor, Glenn Toyne. The CWCB <br />Loan Application is found in Appendix C. Between Glenn, his <br />father and his brother they have sufficient cash assets to pay <br />their portion of the project cost, $39,400. Glenn Toyne's <br />financial condition seems to be completely dependent on his <br />ability to sell the crops he raises. This would be typical for a <br />lot of farmers and is reflected on the financial page found in <br />Appendix D. <br /> <br />Feasibility Study <br />Glenn Toyne <br />Recharge Project <br />February 2003 <br /> <br />9 <br />
