If two (or more) storage projects are <br />implemented, they could be staged, perhaps with the initial project targeted to meet storage <br />requirements under the base forecast. This approach would avoid "overbuilding" in the event <br />that the high forecast does not materialize as currently planned. ,.. <br /> <br />, - <br />Based on inputs gained dming the course of undertaking the Assessment Project, we believe that: <br />. other entitles may be interested in participating iti a storage project. 'One of these entities is-the <br />City of Aurora, 'Y~,ch has water: interests within the Arkansas Basin but is not within the District. <br />Aurora is considering development of apPI:oximately 10,000 af of storage in the Arkansas Basin <br />to help manage its existing water resources. Another potential partner in a storage project is the <br />State of Colorado. mterest by the State of Colorado will be dependent on the results of ongoing <br />studies relative to the Kansas versus Colorado sett1em~nt. ' <br /> <br />Given these considerations, total storage requirements could be greater than 173,,000 af, perhaps <br />up to 200,000 af, or more. <br /> <br />9741IlrmaU\TEXT-A.
