. .6' ,/' . () On page V -23 under Institutional Considerations, the report states that "The only permits required would probably be a 404 permit for stream crossings for the pipeline;". This seems to ignore the BLM right-of-way permit which could be a major hurdle if the process which Ute Water has been through with the Plateau Creek Pipeline permit is any indication. 8 On page VTI-l, I would suggest the following wording for the second paragraph Palisade has a loan commitment of $750,000 from the Colorado Water Conservation Board for this project (see letter in Appendix~. The Town is requesting an additional authorization of$181,875 for a total commitment of $931,875, or 75 percent of the total project cost from the CWCB. The remaining $310,625 will come from other sources which may include the Town's reserve funds and grants or loans from the Department of Local Affairs. 7. If other sources of funding for the project include loans or other debt, the repayment of these obligations should be included in the revenue and expenditure projections in Table VlI- 5. CiJ Also in Table VlI-5, is it realistic to project large Utility Fund surpluses in the future? @ Some discussion of collateral for the loan should be included in Chapter VII. 10. On page VlI-l 0, two additional items should be added to the implementation schedule: (a) legislative authorization of the additional $181,875 funding in the Construction Fund bill in about June 1998, and (b) more detail for the BLM right-of-way permit process. 11. I also have a number of editorial comments which I am forwarding to Bill Hamman at WestWater Engineering. The consultant may need your assistance in preparing responses to some of the preceding comments. Please let me know if you or Bill Hamann have questions regarding any of the above.
