AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE CENTRAL NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER AND IRRIGATION DISTRICT
(CNPPID)
AND
PLATTE RIVER RECOVERY IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM (PRRIP)
CONCERNING
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF CNPPID REGULATING RESERVOIRS
February 25, 2010
A. Introduction
1. The PRRIP has completed a pre - feasibility study of the potential for reservoirs near the
J -2 return to the river and of Elwood Reservoir (currently in draft format).
2. The PRRIP and CNPPID (collectively parties) wish to cooperate on investigations of the
technical and economic feasibility of one or more new reservoir(s) or revisions to existing
reservoirs on or near Central facilities.
3. The aspects of interest for one or both parties for investigation at the feasibility level
include:
a. Utilization of potential reservoirs to provide capacity to regulate Program water.
b. Utilization of potential reservoirs to regulate releases from the J -2 hydro.
4. It is anticipated that CNPPID would own and operate any proposed project found
feasible and implemented as a result of this study.
5. Other parties interested in this feasibility study may be added through a similar
agreement among those parties and CNPPID and PRRIP.
6. Neither PRRIP nor CNPPID are bound by this agreement to proceed any further than
the initial extended feasibility studies described subsequently in this document.
7. The purpose of this document is to outline the expectations and responsibilities of
the CNPPID and the PRRIP in this feasibility study.
B. Feasibility Studies Analysis
1. These investigations will be pursued by PRRIP through cooperation with CNPPID
using the consultants and contractors previously selected and retained by PRRIP.
2. The feasibility study will include detailed survey and mapping, detail geotechnical
investigations, cultural resources investigations, and permitting and environmental
. mitigation investigations.
