Firm Qualifications - Continued Boyle engineers have also applied many other models to analyze surface and ground water systems, water rights, and historical and future operations. Examples of these efforts include: ➢ STATEMOD for the CRDSS project (applied to the Colorado, Gunnison, San Juan - Dolores, and Yampa Rivers); ➢ MODFLOW (ground water model) for the Denver Basin aquifer studies, San Gorgonio Pass Ground Water Modeling Project, El Paso Canutillo Wellfield Master Plan, and the Santa Fe project; ➢ MODSIM on the Greeley Drought Study and other projects; ➢ A linked surface water (BESTSM) and ground water (MODFLOW) model of the Rio Grande for the New Mexico -Texas Sustainable Water Project; ➢ WIRSOS (Wyoming Integrated River System Operation Study) on the Little Popo Agie Instream Flow Study performed for the WWDC; ➢ Platte River Water Budget Speadsheet, a daily surface water operations model covering the entire three state basin which was used to determine water availability in the Platte River; ➢ OPSTUDY, a Bureau of Reclamation surface water system operation model used to evaluate water availability on the North Platte River; ➢ CORSIM (Colorado River Simulation Model) — a water rights allocation model of the Colorado and White Rivers managed for seven years by Boyle for the CORSIM Participants (Colorado River Water Conservation District, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, Denver Water, and several petroleum companies); and ➢ HYDROSS to quantify the reserved water rights of the Blackfeet Indian Tribe in Montana. For ground water hydrology, depletions, and seepage analyses, Boyle engineers have used relatively simple approaches (Glover, SDF Method, Linear Storage, and others) and, more complex finite difference (MODFLOW, SEEP /W) approaches on water rights analyses including augmentation plans and change cases, and on water resource and storage projects. _2_ f3UvLE
