1 <br /> 1 4.0 Non-Reimbursable Grants and Other Recommendations <br /> From time to time over the years, the Board has recommended, and the General Assembly has <br /> approved, the use of the Construction Fund to support a number of non-reimbursable(grant)studies, <br /> investigations, and projects. This year the Board is recommending 7 non-reimbursable studies and <br /> projects totaling $2.57 million. These grant recommendations are listed in Table 8 below. <br /> TABLE 8 <br /> ' Colorado Water Conservation Board <br /> 1998 Grant Recommendations <br /> Grantee Project k County .w Amoubt <br /> .. <br /> CWCB and State Engineer- basinwide 2,000,000 <br /> Rio Grande Decision Support System Data Collection&Design <br /> State Engineer- statewide 120,000 <br /> Satellite Monitoring System Maintenance Continuation _ <br /> State Engineer- basinwide 75,000 <br /> Arkansas River Well Measurement Program Continuation <br /> CWCB- Douglas 200,000 <br /> Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation Feasibility Study Increase <br /> CWCB- basinwide. 56,000 <br /> South Platte River Multi-Objective Floodplain Management Plan Continuation <br /> CWCB- Routt 30,000 <br /> ILower Elk River Floodplain Management Plan <br /> Denver Museum of Natural History/U.S.Geological Survey- Denver Basin 90,000 <br /> Geo-Hydrologic Investigation of the Denver Basin Aquifers <br /> ' Total $2,571,000 <br /> I <br /> 4.1 Rio Grande Decision Support System Data Collection and Design <br /> A contractor has recently com p leted a feasibili ty study under the guidance of a technical advisory <br /> committee (TAC). Significant savings in design costs will be realized due to our work on the <br /> Colorado River Decision Support System. However the extensive groundwater component in the <br /> Rio Grande basin will require a significant expenditure for collection of new data. The project is <br /> estimated to cost up to $5.0 million over 3 years including$3.5 million for data collection and$1.5 <br /> million for design. Based upon the recommendation of the TAC, the CWCB recommends an <br /> appropriation of up to $2,000,000 during FY98-99 to the Division of Water Resources and the <br /> CWCB to collect data,manage the design of the system, develop the necessary databases, models, <br /> and user tools, and to acquire, operate, and maintain the associated hardware and software. The <br /> CWCB and Division of Water Resources will continue to rely upon the TAC for advice. <br /> 1 <br /> CWCB FY97 Annual Report,page 25 <br />
