<br />Alternatives Evaluated <br /> <br />A range of alternatives were considered on how to generate an <br />augmentation supply for Guenzi Farms including 1) don't build a <br />project and continue to solely rely upon LWU for augmentation, 2) <br />purchase a senior water right and use it for augmentation, 3) <br />purchase a farm with existing recharge ponds and expand their <br />usefulness. <br /> <br />An evaluation of the alternatives follows: <br /> <br />1. Don't build a project: <br /> <br />If a project were not pursued, The Guenzi's would continue <br />to solely rely upon LWU for augmentation. As the current <br />drought continues, LWU is in the process of developing a <br />curtailment policy based partly on an individual's ability <br />to provide their own augmentation coverage. Under the <br />current situation the Guenzi's could be more vulnerable to <br />curtailment in the LWU membership. The Guenzi's do not find <br />this to be an acceptable alternative any longer. <br /> <br />2. Purchase a senior water right and use it for <br />augmentation: <br /> <br />This alternative is currently used by many front range <br />municipalities for the very same reason. The City of Parker <br />has even purchased water rights immediately down river from <br />the Guenzi's for augmenting environmental issues they have. <br />The Guenzi's could purchase senior water rights out of <br />Prewitt Reservoir for augmentation purposes. If enough water <br />was available for purchase out of Prewitt, the cost of this <br />alternative would be well over $6,000,000. This alternative <br />may be financially acceptable to someone like Parker but not <br />to the Guenzi's. <br /> <br />3. Purchase a farm with existing recharge ponds and expand <br />their usefulness: <br /> <br />This alternative would consist of purchasing a farm with <br />existing recharge facilities. The current ponds are filled <br />from the Pawnee ditch. This project would involve drilling <br />recharge wells down by the river and filling the same <br />existing ponds with pipelines from the wells. The pipelines <br />would allow for the creation of new recharge ponds on the <br />farm. The cost of this alternative is $368,250. <br /> <br />Feasibility Study <br />Guenzi Aug Project <br />April 2004 <br /> <br />4 <br />
