Scope of Work,4-10-2009 <br />Colorado River Basin Nonconsumptive Needs Quantificatio'n <br />- Physical/geomorphic characteristics <br />- Hydrologic characteristics <br />- Riparian characteristics <br />- Instream aquatic habitat characteristics <br />■ The site-specific quantification for the Colorado River between Kremmling and No Name <br />would also determine expected changes as a result of hydrologic change with additional <br />water regulation such as <br />- Expected geomorphic changes <br />- Expected riparian changes <br />- Expected aquatic habitat changes <br />■ Complete evaluation of Colorado River Basin using the Watershed Flow Evaluation Tool <br />■ Conduct study within a stakeholder process with the Colorado Basin Nonconsumptive <br />Needs Assessment Cominittee and Basin Roundtable <br />This study is divided into four tasks, addressing each of the objectives. The following is a list <br />and description of tasks to be completed under this work plan. <br />Task 1 Conduct Site-Specific Quantification of Colorado between <br />Kremmling and No Name <br />Task 1.1 Meeting, site visit, initial inventory, and high flow field data collection Cost: <br />$26,932 ($0 WSRA, $26,932 Match) <br />Task 1.1 will consist of the following work elements: <br />Meeting: <br />There will be an initial technical meeting to refine the Task 1 scope of work, schedule for the <br />initial tasks and expected products. <br />Site Visit: <br />The site visit will be a reconnaissance level effort to familiarize the team with the project area <br />and finalize plans for the initial inventoxy of field data. <br />Initial Inventory: <br />This will consist of an effort to assemble any existing physical and biological data for this reach <br />of the Colorado River. In addition, an additional site visit will take place for both the physical <br />and biological data collection. The data collection effort will be sufficient to qualitatively <br />describe the existing environment within the reach and to develop a proposed approach to <br />quantify changes that may occur with changes in river hydrology. This effort is in coordination <br />with the associated Wild & Scenic alternatives process. <br />Page 2 of 15 <br />
