_....-- ..........._ • � <br />• Jeff Jackson, Compressor Facilities Operator, PDC. E-mail <br />correspondence concerning water demands associated with processing and <br />pipeline operations. <br />• Jim Burnell with the Colorado Geological Survey regarding uranium <br />mining. <br />Task 1.2 Review of Documents and Reports <br />URS continues to review energy related articles and documents as they are released. <br />Task 2 Water Demand Scenario Development <br />The objective of this task is to define a set of water demand and suppdy scenarios for <br />near, moderate, and long-term planning horizons for different production scenarios using <br />available data and information. <br />The URS Team developed a preliminary set of water demand scenarios for near, <br />moderate, and long-term planning horizons for natural gas, oil shale, uranium, and coal. <br />The initial results of this task were presented at the February 15, 2008 Working Session. <br />Further refinements to the scenarios have been developed su�sequent to the working <br />session. The URS Team has begun to develop specific, quantitative estimates of the <br />demands associated with each resource under each of the scenarios based on data <br />available up to this point. This is a step that was planned for Phase 2 of the Energy <br />Needs Assessment; however, adding some quantification to the scenarios was efficient at <br />this time and useful in identifying the most critical assumptions. <br />URS focused on the development of the unit water demands needed for each of thc <br />various phases of the natural gas, oil shale (in-situ and surface retort), uranium, and coal <br />mining processes. <br />Task 3 Review Conditional Water Rights <br />The objective of this task is to compile a list of the conditional water rights in the <br />Colorado and White River Basins, specifrcally water districts 39, 43, 45, 70, and <br />potentially 72, identifying those rights which ure currently owned by energy companies. <br />The other districts that are within the Yampa Basin c�re not over-appropriated so it is not <br />necessary to investigate the conditional water rights. <br />No additional work was performed for this task during the referenced reporting period. <br />Task 4 Project Management, Meetings and Coordination <br />The objective of this tnsk is to provide the needed project management and <br />correspondence needed�i�r the project. <br />The URS Team members attended the following meetings during the performance <br />period: <br />• April 16, 2008 Yampa/White Roundtable Meeting in Rangely, Colorado <br />l�R� ('or�orati�m <br />713 Couper,t��nur, Suitc IO0 <br />l�i�n�tioi�d Sprin�,:.
