Non-Reimbursable Application - CWCB Construction Fund
Form Revised June 2006
5. Explain why you are requesting a grant, instead of a loan. (the Construction Fund exists primarily to
provide low interest loans for the construction or rehabilitation of raw water projects. Non-
reimbursable investments are approved only when the project or study is of statewide interest and
benefits a wide range of people and organizations, and/or a large geographical area.
As I explained in question#4, the"Fen Wetland"problem is of statewide concern. The fact
that a fen cannot be mitigated can halt the development of a project or cause it to be totally
relocated. Entities I have contacted which mentioned they already had experienced"Fen"
problems were: the proposed development near the Wolf Creek Ski area, the Colorado
Department of Transportation, the engineer for a water supply agency in the Vail Valley, the
Board of Water Works of Pueblo, the City of Aurora, the City of Colorado Springs, and the
Denver Water Department. We are requesting a grant instead of a loan because this is a
research project. It will not generate any revenue. -
6. List the names and addresses of any technical or legal consultants retained to represent the applicant or
to conduct investigations for the proposed project or study.

7. List any feasibility study or scope of work that has been completed or is now in progress for the
proposed project or study. (Submit one copy with this application):
Thus far, there have been no feasibility studies completed on this project. Aurora and Pueblo
started the project but quickly realized they did not have sufficient funds to complete the entire
study. All the necessary permits have been obtained, two receiver sites have been designed, a
water supply system along with a substitute water supply plan has been obtained, and the fen
harvesting apparatus as .een .esigned.
