Background. <br /> A. The Enterprise is a water activity enterprise formed by the Southeastern Colorado <br /> Water Conservancy District ( "District "), pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 37 -45.1 -101, et <br /> seq. <br /> B. Consultants to the Southeastern Colorado Water and Storage Needs Assessment <br /> Enterprise (the "Needs Assessment Enterprise "), a separate water activity <br /> enterprise formed by the District, have prepared a Preferred Storage Options Plan <br /> report (submitted by GEI Consultants, dated September 21, 2000, hereinafter the <br /> "PSOP Report"). The PSOP Report identifies estimated future water storage <br /> needs of several potential participants and outlines a plan for meeting those <br /> needs, including reoperation of existing water storage in Fryingpan - Arkansas <br /> Project East Slope reservoirs ( "Reoperations "), followed by construction of <br /> enlargements to Pueblo Reservoir and Turquoise Reservoir (the "Enlargements "). <br /> The PSOP Report has identified 48,000 to 51,000 acre -feet as available <br /> Reoperation storage space in Fryingpan- Arkansas Project East Slope storage <br /> facilities (the "Fry-Ark Reservoirs," which consist of Pueblo Reservoir, Turquoise <br /> Reservoir, and Twin. Lakes Reservoir). <br />
