<br />Water and Storage Needs Assessment <br />SE~CD/~s~smentEn~rprbe <br />, December 10,1998 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The storage need identified above is for the high grO\vth forecast; and could be less <br />under the base for~cast. <br /> <br />Additional storage capacity could benefit non- bistrict entities who h~ye water <br />. interests in the Arkansas Basin. as w~ll as District entities who desire more storage <br />to enhance water management and provide drought protection. 'AdditionarEast <br />Slope storage also may enable additional Fry-Ark ~oject imports to be made. <br />Cwrently, Fry-Ark imports can be, curtailed due to unavailable East Slope storage <br />capacity.

The 31 storage!waterinatlagement options' were Slibjected- to a: qiJ8.litative <br />evaluation in order to develop a list, of 14 options for more-detailed review. These <br />14 options then were evaluated using a decision aiullysis framework to identify 8 <br />options that appear to have better overall performatice in terms of cost, operational <br />effectiveness, and environmental/social factor$., The evaluation process is <br />preliminary in nature and is not intended to be fully compliant with NEP A <br />guidelines. However, the pasic structure of the process is designed to be ~Jq>anded <br />anq refined in subsequent more ~etailed levels of study and evaluation of <br />alternatives. The eight alternatives are summarized in the' following table in the <br />order of their priority ,rankirig in the alternatives analysis: " <br /> <br />~(@.;~~<._.: :_ ~~![~-=:_,_, ___!r,g~T~\lii'?!.;~'!:,-~~;~:~~_=~ <br /> <br />Lake Meredith Enlargement 80,000 <br />Fry-Ark Project Reoperation 90,000(2) <br />Turquoise Lake Enlargement 9,000 <br />Clear Creek Reservoir (New) 100,000 <br />Tennessee Creek Reservoir 28,000 <br />Pueblo Reservoir Enlargement , 75,000 <br />Williams Creek Reservoir, 16,000 <br />Gravel Lakes Storage 13,000 <br /> <br />(1) Estimated maximum volume of storage based on initial configurations. <br />(2) Estimated potential volume available without consideration of East Stope decrees. <br />Volume may not be available in alt years. <br /> <br />-v- <br /> <br />I GEl Consultants, Ine. <br /> <br />974111F'U1BU\TBXT-A.
