COLLATERAL

The L TWD and CWCWD can offer the following collateral for the CWCB loan.

1. The revenue from water rates and tap fees as allowed by
their Company By-Laws and Articles-of-lncorporation.

2. The physical assets of the project itself.

SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL IMPACTS

The reservoir could potentially provide a recreational area for use by adjacent
property owners or for public use. One negative social impact may be the
displacement of several property owners.

The primary physical impact would be the inundation of approximately 200 acres
of sparsely-vegetated pasture land. Currently, most of the affected land is
unused.

Seepage through the dam would be expected to have physical impact to the flow
in the intermittent tributary to Dry Creek and to the local groundwater level.
There are no existing structures immediately downstream of the dam that would
be expected to be affected by these physical impacts.

CONCLUSIONS

1. The L TWD and the CWCWD are Special Districts with the ability to enter into
contracts with the CWCB for the purpose of obtaining Construction Fund
loans.

2. The project would allow the districts to store up to approximately 5200 ac-ft of
water for use in their existing treatment plants to augment their system in dry
years or to supply water for their system in case of maintenance or repair of
Carter Lake Reservoir or the St. Vrain Supply Canal.

3. The existing 'geotechnical conditions are suitable for construction of the
reservoir.

4. No significant permitting issues have been identified.

5. The project is economically feasible and beneficial for the Districts based on
all aspects considered.
