EXHIBIT D <br /> COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD <br /> CONSTRUCTION FUND <br /> 2007-2008 NON-REIMBURSABLE PROJECT APPLICATION <br /> 9. How much funding are you requesting? <br /> Following is a copy of a letter that will be mailed to all perspective project participants. In the letter <br /> you can see that we are asking each project participant to pay$60,000 in 2007, $40,000 in 2008, and <br /> $20,000 in the years 2009 through 2012. This amounts to a total of$180,000. Other project <br /> participants will be billed on a yearly basis for their committed project amount. The entity will be <br /> billed in November 2006 for its financial commitment in 2007. <br /> We are requesting the entire $180,000 from the Colorado Water Conservation Board because it is our <br /> understanding that one Board cannot commit future Boards to a project it has decided to undertake. <br /> Following is the letter. <br /> September 6, 2006 <br /> Dear: <br /> Construction projects all over the state have been delayed, relocated, rerouted,postponed or in some cases <br /> totally cancelled due to the location of a Fen Wetland. As you know, a"Fen"is a special type of wetland <br /> bog that cannot be mitigated according to the Corp of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service <br /> guidelines. So, what is an entity to do? <br /> Aurora and Pueblo (the Pueblo Board of Water Works) have both experienced problems with"Fens" and <br /> you may have also. This led us to wonder if a fen could be moved- - -relocated to a nearby location,but <br /> out of the way of the current construction project. You might say- - -how can a fen be moved if you <br /> cannot fill a wetland. Well, we are not filling the wetland- - -we are moving a part of the wetland. That <br /> is right, we propose to move (piece by piece) a small portion (the fen portion) of a wetland area. Sounds <br /> impossible doesn't it? Here is what we have done thus far. <br /> We have set up a project study team consisting of representatives from the Corp of Engineers, the U.S. <br /> Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a water resources engineer, a water <br />
