Projects must be submitted on an application form used by the State IBCC and CWCB. <br />All applicable sections must be completed. The above application arses the proper form. <br />B. Projects must address the values encompassed by the SW Basin Bylaws, especially the following goals and <br />objectives: <br />? Seek the involvement of all interested parties and stakeholders. A successful election was held on <br />formation of the District which involved all parties and stakeholders. <br />? Propose methods or projects, both structural and non-structural, for meeting any future needs as well as <br />utilizing any unappropriated waters. Addressed in application. <br />? Promote the protection, conservation, and use of water in the Southwestern Colorado Roundtable area. <br />Addressed in application. <br />? Promote the socio-economic sustainability of the Southwestern Colorado Roundtable area. A water system <br />,for southeast LaPlata County, is necessary,for the present and future water users. <br />? Promote the protection and conservation of the natural environment, including the protection of open space. <br />Not directly applicable. <br />C. Provide the financial details of the plan, including cost sharing and other possible funding sources. Give a <br />financial overview and rough timeline for completion of the project. Refer to the .Service Plan. <br />To assist the Southwest Roundtable in determining whether and to what extent a proposed project meets the <br />values set forth in the Bylaws, the following questions should be addressed separately as can reasonably be <br />answered by the applicant. <br />1. What benefit(s) does the project provide? Are there multiple purposes? <br />Note: this does not mean that a single purpose project would be rejected, but for major funding requests, <br />addressing multiple use needs would be an advantage. This is a single purpose project to supply drinking water to <br />approximately 6,000 taps. The water system will provide an adequate quantity of good duality drinking water to <br />southeast LaPlata County which presently does not have such a supply. <br />2. Outline the steps needed for completion of the project. What permit issues must be overcome? How will funds <br />acquired in this process be used to accomplish the final goal? Described in the application. <br />3. For prioritization of different proposals and assessment of the merits of the plan, can this project be physically <br />built with this funding. Are further studies needed before actual construction is cormnenced(if the project <br />anticipates construction)? Will these studies or additional steps delay the completion of the project substantially? <br />Described in application. <br />4. How does the proposal envision and anticipate support from its beneficiaries or from other sources in addition <br />to the funding requested here? Would a loan reasonably address the needs of the applicant or, with a grant, should <br />a recommendation be added to assess the future project status for ability to repay a portion of the grant? <br />Described in the application. The District cannot enter into a loan at this time due to Tabor restrictions. <br />11
