. ..' Mr. Larry Howard, P.E. October 21, 1997 4. The water rights paragraph on page 3-4 and Table 3-2 could use a little more explanation and should be organized to show the various categories of water rights: (1) direct flows, (2) shares owned by the City in various ditch companies, (3) C-BT shares, and (4) Windy Gap water. Table 3-2 is very difficult to read. The study should also indicate which of these rights will be stored in Green Ridge Glade and the expected incremental yields resulting from the expansion of the reservoir. What is the typical mode of operation for Green Ridge Glade? A discussion and a drawing would be helpful. 5. Water Quality on page 3-4 could use a little more discussion other than a statement that water quality is good. What water quality parameters were examined and how do they relate to the proposed use of the water; i.e., municipal water supply. 6. Under 3.5, Water Demands on page 3-4, no demand figures are given, only a reference to Appendix E. A table or a graph of water demands over time would be useful. 7. In Section 4, Field Investigations, references to site maps should be provided along with the text to allow the reader to visualize where the various test sites are located. Weare currently in the process of reviewing the technical content of Section 4 and will advise you of any further comments. 8. The report fails to provide any coherent description of either the hydrology or hydraulics for spillway design. Page 1 of appendix G states that "The Feasibility Study will present flood routing results for several spillway types and widths." I was unable to find this information. Appendix G also has numerous references to Appendix A for hydrologic calculations but Appendix A of this report contains demographic information. The results of both the hydrology and spillway sizing calculations should be described and presented in tabular form somewhere in the main body of the report. 9. Section 5 should begin with an introductory paragraph to describe the concepts and the process used to formulate and evaluate alternatives. How were the alternatives developed? What were the steps in the process? What evaluation factors were used? Who participated in the screening process and how was the process documented? The drawings in Section 5 should be included in synch with the text so the reader can see the configurations and locations of facilities. It's very difficult to follow several paragraphs of detailed technical description without drawings or maps. The descriptions of the alternatives themselves could use some editing to make them a little more reader friendly. 2
