<br />Alternatives Evaluated <br /> <br />A range of alternatives were considered on how to generate <br />additional augmentation supplies for the LPBCC including 1) don't <br />pursue a project, 2) purchase a senior water right and use it for <br />augmentation, 3) construct additional recharge ponds filled from <br />the canal and construct a recharge pond filled using a recharge <br />well and pipeline. <br /> <br />An evaluation of the alternatives follows: <br /> <br />1. Don't pursue a project: <br /> <br />If a project were not pursued, the LPBCC would have to rely <br />upon their current augmentation production which has been <br />projected to be inadequate if the current drought conditions <br />continue. The LPBCC could be forced to curtail their well <br />use. This event, if it occurred, could lead to a major loss <br />of crops under the LPBCC system. This alternative is not an <br />acceptable alternative to the Company. <br /> <br />2. Purchase a senior water right and use it for <br />augmentation: <br /> <br />This alternative is currently used by many municipalities <br />for the very same reason. The City of Fort Morgan recently <br />purchased 7.5 shares of Jackson Lake reservoir water for <br />augmenting city well use. The 7.5 shares sold for $150,000 <br />or $1,250 per acre foot of water. Jackson Lake water could <br />be used by the LPBCC system for augmentation if enough was <br />available to be purchased. This alternative would cost the <br />LPBCC well over $1,000,000. <br /> <br />3. Construct additional recharge ponds filled from the <br />canal and construct a recharge pond filled using a recharge <br />well and pipeline: <br /> <br />This alternative would consist of the development of up to <br />27 new recharge ponds to be filled from the Lower Platte and <br />Beaver canal. The LPBCC would also construct a recharge pond <br />filled using a recharge well through a pipeline. Two of the <br />described ponds would be purchased by the LPBCC for their <br />outright control. Each of the ponds requires proper <br />measuring devices and with most of the ponds is the only <br />component that the LPBCC is responsible for. These systems <br />fill the ponds during the winter months when there is <br />generally not a call on the river.
