A com- <br />parison to the current operation strategy will also be made for each <br />alternative strategy. <br /> <br />Reporting the results of the study. <br />~ 1.4 Product <br /> <br />The product of these studies will be a report which contains a thorough <br />description of the alternative strategies evaluated, the methods and data <br />used to evaluate them, and the results of comparative analysis. A draft <br />report will be available for public review by November 1, 1984, with a final <br />report to be completed by February 1, 1985. <br /> <br />1.5 Organization of Work Effort <br /> <br />A technical team composed of staff from the Upper and Lower Colorado <br />Regional Offices and the Engineering and Research Center will be organized <br />to perform the work. The team will be managed by CRSS Steering Committee, <br />which includes the Assistant Commissioner for Planning and Operations, an <br />Assistant Regional Director from each of the two regions, and Chiefs of the <br />Division of Planning Technical Services, Division of Water and Land <br />Technical Services, and the Colorado River Water Quality Office in the <br />E&R Center. <br /> <br />e <br />
