Local interests also identified an alignment that <br />was viewed to b� optimal fram fihe perspective of I�nd owner ne�otiation efforts. The <br />nc�rth-to-sQUth �lignment for the preferrsd alt�rnative shown on Figur� � r�vas selected <br />as the basis for estimating costs. <br />A summary of the major facilities �ssoci�ted with the preferred �Iternative is provided <br />below and the locations of fiacilitie� are �hown on Figure 9. <br />T�ble 2: Summary of Major Facilitie� for the Preferred Alternative. <br />Preferred Altern�tive <br />North Well Fe1d <br />6 nevu 2U00 gpm wells <br />7920 feet of 18" pipe <br />5280 feet of 24" pipe <br />Conveyance Pipeline <br />67 fe9t of 36" pipe <br />5tora�e Tank —1 M.G <br />River Outl4t Structure <br />The preferred alternative for the Compact Compliance Pipeline is �hown schematically <br />in plan and profile on Figure 2. Approximately 10,000 aeres of land irrigated by rights to <br />designated ground water will be retired and the his#orical consumptive use, estimated to <br />be 15,OQ0 acre-f�et per year, will be transferred from existing wells to si�c or eight new <br />wells. The proposed location of thes� new wells is shown on Figure 2. WitM a pumping <br />capacity of 2,QOQ gpm per well, six new wells will t� �ble to deliver 15,000 aer�-feet in � <br />nine-month period. The current schedule envisions c�mpletion of the wells and the <br />pipeline in early July 20Q9, with the poteantial to deliver a major portion o# Cvlorado's <br />estim�fi�d 2009 compact obligation (11,00� acre-f�et) before year-er�d 2009. <br />Wa#�r pumped from the individual wells wi11 be coll�ct�d in an interconnec#ed system of <br />pipeiines and then conveyed to a storag� tank locat�d at etevation 3��5.
