Refer to the attached Table 1. No contingency has been added to the total cost estimate amount. The Town is requesting the maximum amount for a CWCB small project loan in the amount of $1 million and will pay the remaining ~m the Town's existing Water Fund cash reserves. The term of the requested loan is 20 years aC.50 percent interest. 7.2 Opinion of Feasibilitv ~ 3 3S / I ~ j) The proposed project is not only financially viable but will likely be a sustainable financial resource to the Town in future years. Increasing the reservoir storage and lining the reservoir provides an immediate, real value to the Towns water system and will also likely improve the community use of the lake as a fishery by increasing the average available storage depth of the reservoir. 8.0 PROJECT SCHEDULE / ) The project is scheduled to bid in mid February of 2003 with construction beginning in mid March of 2003. Mr. Mark Haynes, P.E. with the Office of the State Engineer, Dam Safety Branch has indicated that he expects to begin reviewing the submitted Milavec Lake plans by February 1,2003. Based on this information it would be reasonable to expect to get comments addressed and final approval of the plans by the end of February. However, if plans have not been approved by the bid opening date, initial work on the project could begin including excavation of the sandy material from the reservoir bottom before final approval of construction plans and the associated technical specifications. 9.0 PERMITTING Several areas of wetlands have been identified on the project site. Identified wetland areas were delineated by Queen of the River biologist Brenda Mitchell. Mr. Terry McKee with the United States Corp of Engineers (USACE), Brenda Mitchell and Brad Hagen of RMC met on-site to review the proposed project and potential impacts to these wetland areas. After the meeting, Mr. McKee consulted with other persons with the USACE (in the Denver and Omaha offices) and determined that Milavec Lake is not "Waters of the United States" and that Wetland Areas ill and V are non-jurisdictional.
