Summary &Conclusion The Buckhorn Geotech report of the 2011 slope failure (Appendix A) provides a discussion of the project, recommendations, and the analysis used to arrive at the recommended options. This report was submitted to the Lone Cabin Ditch and Reservoir Company as well as to Jason Ward, Dam Safety Engineer and Garrett Jackson, Dam Safety Engineer with the Colorado Division of Water Resources. They have been involved in the Buckhorn Geotech geotechnical evaluation and have direct knowledge of the recommendations provided in the geotechnical report. The option selected by the Lone Cabin Ditch and Reservoir Company presents the most economical approach to mitigation of the slump feature by addressing only the slumped area and rebuilding to the toe below as opposed to addressing the dam structure as a whole. Additional geotechnical and design reporting required for the final design have yet to be prepared. Costs for this reporting are included in the Engineer's Estimate of Total Costs (Table 1). Permitting Plans and specifications for construction must be approved by the State Engineer prior to construction. It is not anticipated the scope of work will require an Army Corp of Engineers 404 permit. Estimated Project Schedule While some activities cannot begin before a prerequisite activity is completed, some can be occurring simultaneously. The following list of benchmarks is provided to present a time line of activities associated with project completion: Benchmark Completion Date Submittal of Application to CWCB for Project Funding April 2013 Secure CWCB Funding September 2013 Geotechnical Investigation Spring 2013 Laboratory Testing Spring 2013 Complete Design, Plans, and Specifications April 2013 Submit to SEO for Review and Approval April 2013 SEO Approval for Construction June 2013 Project Bids July 2013 Pre-construction meeting August 2013 Construction Completed October 2013 18
