<br />~".29 '94 '."8 <br /> <br />..- <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />ccs <br /> <br />TEL 3e38745342 <br /> <br />P. 1 <br /> <br />Follow up with State Engineer and US Forest Service on any problems or <br />on permitting process as applicable. These tasks may involve both <br />engineering and engineering technician time. Costs vary based on the site, <br />but typically are about $300. <br /> <br />3. Evaluation of Alternatives <br /> <br />As mentioned above, the Association relies almost exclusively on financial criteria <br />in evaluating whether an alternative is viable. They are interested in conslnlcting <br />as many alternatives as are found for which the storage can be constructed from <br />less than $700-750 per acre foot, assuming the reservoir is in a basin which wilJ <br />fill, from which they can transfer water out conveniently, and they can get a <br />permit from the Forest Service. Note that the detailed investigation is oot <br />undertaken until concerns ~Iated to the Forest Service and the filling and draining <br />of the reservoir have been satisfactorily addressed. <br /> <br />Reservoirs or reservoir options which cost over $1,000 per acre foot are <br />eliminated strictly on a cost basis. Reservoirs which cost between $750 - 1000 <br />"are kept on the backburner for more detailed evaluation if enough sites can not <br />be found in the desired cost range. <br /> <br />Most of the evaluation criteria listed in the CWCB guidelines are addressed as part <br />of the initial assessment before a decision to do a detailed investigation is made. <br />The detailed inveStigation is only Undertaken if no problems are identified. <br /> <br />4. Study Report <br /> <br />The stUdy report will include a description of the work performed and a summary <br />of the results. including the tables described in #2 above. In addition the report <br />will discuss the results summarized in those tables and make a recommendation <br />on the feasibility of each site evaluated based on costs, accessibility, Forest <br />, Service constraints, and other site specific considerations. <br /> <br />The typical total cost per site given a detailed investigation is about $4,000. The time <br />it takes to complete a detailed investigation and prepare the report is two months though <br />the report can not be completed until the Forest Service completes their investigation. <br />We anticipate completing the report for two sites by May of 1995 assuming the Forest <br />Service has completed their review by then. During the summer of 1995, we will do <br />a preliminary investigation of several other sites. reco!llmended by the Owners. It is <br />expected that at least one of those will be worthy detailed investigation. Assuming we <br />do a detailed field investigation of one or more sites, engineering reports for th~se sites <br />would be completed by April of 1996, though we would likely not have a completed <br />review from the' Forest Service that quickly, so we would need to wait for the Forest <br />Service to complete our final draft of the report. <br /> <br />t-CW <br /> <br />fllz'! <br />
