SWSI Phase 2 Scope of Work <br />area. Agricultural shortages were identified by SWSI in all basins. Environmental and <br />recreational needs identified in the Prioritize and Quantify Recreation and <br />Environment Needs TRT will also be examined by this TRT. <br />The Addressing the Gap TRT, in addition to examining alternatives to the M&I gap, <br />will discuss and develop alternatives that will address M&I uncertainty; existing <br />agricultural shortages; environmental enhancements; recreational enhancements; and <br />conceptual level yields, costs, and implementation issues. Solution/alternatives will <br />be analyzed and evaluated for both in-basin and trans-basin concepts. This TRT will <br />also discuss funding issues relative to the alternatives. Storage, pumpback, and <br />conservation/efficiency alternatives will be evaluated in the Colorado and Gunnison <br />basins. An agricultural transfer alternative will be developed for the South Platte <br />basin and an agricultural transfer will be developed for the Arkansas basin as well as <br />an evaluation of conservation/efficiency. The role of the Yampa River in meeting the <br />gap and compact deliveries will also be considered. <br />Once alternatives are developed, they will be evaluated based on how they meet the <br />following SWSI objectives: <br />^ Sustainably Meet M&I Demands <br />^ Sustainably Meet Agricultural Demands <br />^ Optimize Existing and Future Water Supplies <br />^ Enhance Recreational Opportunities <br />^ Provide for Environmental Enhancement <br />^ Promote Cost Effectiveness <br />^ Protect Cultural Values <br />^ Provide for Operational Flexibility <br />^ Comply with All Applicable Laws and Regulations <br />Assumptior~/Basis of Cost <br />^ Level of effort on the technical work to support the Addressing the Gap TRT will be <br />directed by the CWCB staff and board. <br />^ Close coordination with the CWCB staff and Board is expected as the level of detail <br />developed for each for each alternative will in part be dependent on the total <br />number of alternatives developed by the Addressing the Gap TRT. <br />Summary of Deliverables <br />^ The SWSI Report will be amended to incorporate work form this task <br />`~ ~ <br />\\DENSVR01\SWSI\PHASE 2 WORK PLAN\SWSI PHASE 2 SOW 6-10-OS.DOC <br />
