Fischer <br />Executive Director <br />Colorado River Water Conservation District <br />201 Centennial Street, Suite 204 <br />Glenwood Springs, CO 81602 <br />April 5, 1993 <br />Dear Mr. Fischer: <br /> <br /> <br />0 <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />t <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />We are pleased to submit herewith our final report for the Yampa River Basin <br />Alternatives Feasibility Study. Several technical Task Memoranda were submitted over the <br />course of the Study describing in detail the activities undertaken and conclusions reached as the <br />Study progressed. This report consolidates those memoranda and new material into a single <br />document. <br />The Study examined the current and future water supply and water-based recreation <br />needs of the Yampa River basin and the potential for establishing a mainstem instream flow <br />water right using a portion of the District's Juniper Project water rights. In this context, the <br />Study evaluated potential water storage opportunities to meet those water needs while <br />preserving a mainstem instream flow regime conducive to the recovery of the endangered <br />Colorado River fishes. A final recommendation was made for development of additional water <br />storage capacity and creation of an instream flow water right. <br />We wish to express our appreciation for having the opportunity to perform the Study and <br />for the excellent guidance provided by the District's Project Manager, Mr. Ray Tenney, and by <br />the Study's Technical Steering Group and Public Advisory Group. Invaluable assistance was <br />also provided by our subcontractors, Doug Laiho of Muller Engineering, Bill Miller of W.J. <br />Miller Associates, and Warren Keammerer and Bob Stoecker of Stoecker-Keammerer <br />Associates. <br />We have thoroughly enjoyed working on this interesting and important Study and look <br />forward to assisting the District in future activities related to Yampa River basin water <br />resource planning. <br />Sincerely, <br />Hydrosphere <br />by: <br />Charles M.
