• <br />West Divide Board of Directors <br />September 30, 2008 <br />Page 4 <br />� <br />Task 7— Environmental and Permittin�. An environmental review of each reservoir site will be <br />completed. The review will identify any sensitive environmental issues (wildlife migration corridors, <br />slope instability, endangered species, etc.). The environmental review will identify the specific permits <br />that will be required, the anticipated difficulty (if any) associated with permitting, and will specifically <br />consider the review criteria in Pitkin County 1041 regulations. Mitigation opportunities will be identified <br />where appropriate. <br />Task 8— Report Preparation / Deliverables. Study results will be fully documented in a final Feasibility <br />and Design Report. Results of the topographic survey will also be delivered in digital format to the <br />project sponsors. <br />STUDY TEAM <br />We propose that a multidisciplinary study team be assembled to complete the feasibility study. Grand <br />River Consulting will provide project management and will also be responsible for water availability, <br />stream flow assessments and a water rights evaluation. Grand River will also participate in the <br />assessment of environmental issues where needed. <br />Sopris Engineering will conduct the topographic survey and will complete the preliminary project design <br />and cost estimates for the reservoir storage. <br />ERO Resources will be primarily responsible for environmental review including permitting <br />requirements. <br />Please see Attachment B for consultant hourly rates and associated fees. <br />SCHEDULE <br />The proposed implementation schedule for this study is outlined in Table 1 on the next page. Please note <br />that this schedule may be modified as directed by West Divide. <br />Commencement of the project is contingent upon the execution date of the CWCB Water Supply Reserve <br />Account Award Contract. The total time frame for project completion is estimated at six months from the <br />executed CWCB contract date. The estimated time for completion of each work task is noted in Table 1. <br />Please note that some work tasks may overlap concurrently. <br />
