I understand that you would like to <br />continue with a full feasibility study to further investigate the potential. This full feasibility study will <br />provide the information necessary for a CWCB loan application. The feasibility study will be performed <br />in accordance with the requirements from the CWCB for their loan program. <br />The schedule of this project is to have the feasibility study completed and submitted to the CWCB with <br />the loan application on August 1 St, 2011 for consideration at the September 2011 board meeting. <br />The fixed fee for performing this feasibility study is $10,000. I suggest requesting 50% of this amount or <br />$5,000 from the CWCB grant program. <br />Cordially, <br />Applegate Group, inc. <br />�.. , E ( ' • � _ 'f �,.� <br />Lindsay George, PhD, PE <br />Water Resources Engineer <br />cc: LAG/CMA <br />1499 W. 120`h Avenue, Suite 200 303-452-6611 ll 8 W. 6`h Street, Suite 100 <br />Denver, CO 80234 www.applegategroup.com Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 <br />
