Alternative Agricultural Water Transfer Methods -Grant Application Form <br />January 2008 <br />and preserves agricultural production and/or helps sustain the area's economy from which the <br />transfer is occurring (it should be noted that for this criterion the term perpetual means provides a <br />permanent and reliable source of water that is not subject to future negotiations/terms or <br />conditions to sustain the new use). <br />This is the ultimate objective of the research that is proposed as part of this grant application (see Part B, <br />Section 1), to provide a sustainable water supply for municipal and industrial water uses along the Front Range, while <br />still maintaining healthy rural economies. <br />i) The quantity of water produced by the proposed project/program. Preference will be given to <br />programs that can address larger water supply needs. <br />It is unknown what the quantity of water will ultimately be provided since the research has not been done to <br />prove the efficacy of these innovative irrigation management methods. However, to be economical to pump and pipe <br />this water back to Front Range water users it is expected that, if the research provides favorable results, the minimum <br />volume to be moved would be in the range of 20,000 to 40,000 ac-ft. The results of the research and the interest in <br />participating in a water supply delivery project will ultimately determine the quantity of water produced. The initial <br />farmer survey conducted by CSU has indicated, of the respondents to the survey, approximately 33,000 ac-ft of water <br />rights was identified as being agreeable to either a lease or sale agreement related to their water rights. <br />6. Please provide the proposed scope of work. On the following page there is an example format for the <br />Scope of Work. You can use the example format or your own format, provided that comparable <br />information is included. <br />The scope of work should outline by task how the proposed program/project will be accomplished. It is <br />important that the scope of work detail the specific steps, activities/procedures that will be followed to <br />accomplish each individual task and the overall programlproject and the specific products/deliverables <br />that will be accomplished. <br />The scope of work must include but not be limited to: task description, key personnel, budget, schedule and <br />deliverables and the final report/project documentation upon completion of the water activity. <br />The scope of work for this study is described below in the format suggested by the CWCB. Some of the scope <br />of work has already been initiated by CSU and is currently being funded through the CWCB Water Supply Reserve <br />Account (WSRA) grant ($150,000) and the Alternative Agricultural Water Transfer Methods grant ($477,500). <br />16
