<br />Implementation Schedule <br /> <br />The following schedule is proposed for implementation of the <br />project: <br /> <br />Task <br />~Complete Final Design <br />2. Start Construction <br />3. Complete Construction <br />4. Project is Operational <br /> <br />Date <br />01/30/04 <br />02/02/04 <br />04/02/04 <br />04/05/04 <br /> <br />Social, Eeonomic, and Physical Impacts <br /> <br />The project will have no significant social impacts. <br /> <br />Although shareholders in the LPBCC will be impacted with <br />increased assessments for construction and loan repayment, the <br />project will have a long term positive economic impact by <br />assuring annual well diversions of approximately 15,000 acre-feet <br />of water for irrigation and as indicated on page 4 under <br />alternative 1, the reverse of this situation is not acceptable to <br />the Company. <br /> <br />The project will have minimal physical impacts once construction <br />is complete. The new recharge well will occupy a minimal amount <br />of space down by the river and the pipeline will be buried. The <br />recharge ponds will hold water for a limited time and be dry most <br />of the year. Recharge ponds are becoITling a very common site in <br />the lower end of the South Platte River. <br /> <br />Permitting <br /> <br />All easements and rights of way are being arranged for. <br /> <br />The Company expects to be exempt frOITl 404 permitting. This will <br />be confirmed with the Denver District, Army Corps of Engineers. <br /> <br />Feasibility Study <br />Lower Platte and Beaver <br />Augmentation Project <br />January 2004 <br /> <br />7 <br />
