<br />"'~ <br /> <br />COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD <br />FEASIBILITY STUDY REVIEW MEMO <br /> <br />October 19, 1998 <br /> <br />Study: City of Sterling and Logan County Flood Hazard Mitigation Study, February 1998 <br /> <br />Consultant: Icon Engineering, Inc. <br /> <br />Reviewer: Bill Green <br /> <br />My review of this report was somewhat cursory because of the limited amount of time <br />available to review the document. The report was apparently completed in February 1998 <br />but was not submitted to us until November 2, 1998. <br /> <br />All of the following comments refer to Section ill of the report, Feasibility Study. <br /> <br />1. Much of the information in the report appears to be out of sequence. All of the <br />information on pages ill-I 8 to ill-22 up to Plan Description should precede the <br />descriptions of the alternatives in Chapter 2. These pages might be used as a separate <br />section of the report dealing with the formulation of alternatives. <br /> <br />2. Chapter 4, Cost Estimate, should be a part of Chapter 2. <br /> <br />3. In Chapter 2, Proposed Solutions, the Selected Alternative discussion could be a <br />separate chapter in the report-preceding Chapter 3, Detai}ed Description of Selected <br />Alternative. In addition, the Selected Alternative write-up should be expanded to <br />provide more information on the evaluation of alternatives and the process used in <br />selecting the preferred alternative. <br /> <br />4. A logical sequence of presentation would be; Formulation of Alternatives, <br />Description of Alternatives, Alternative Evaluation and Process for Selecting the <br />Preferred Alternative. <br /> <br />5. The Environmental Information in Chapter 7 might be more appropriately placed in <br />Chapter 3, Detailed Description of Selected Alternative. Which of the items in Table <br />19 will require a permit? Will an EA be required? Are there any other institutional <br />considerations in addition to permits, such as contracts, agreements or court actions, <br />required for project implementation? <br /> <br />6. The report lacks a financial plan prepared in accordance with the requirements of the <br />Construction Fund Guidelines. <br /> <br />7. I may have missed it, but I don't recall seeing a project implementation schedule. <br />
