The <br /> feasibility study was completed in December 2011, resulting in a proposed implementation process <br /> including four phases, at an estimated total cost of$7,590,000. $750,000 has previously been approved by <br /> the Board for Phases 1 and 2. Work has begun on several aspects of ArkDSS, with coordination with <br /> several Roundtable projects and DWR Division 2 work, and a streamflow gage has been installed on <br /> Fountain Creek. Requests for Proposals for more tasks will be released in the near future. The funding <br /> requested herein will be used to continue the ArkDSS implementation, which at this stage includes <br /> • primarily data compilation and data collection activities that will provide the foundation for the ArkDSS. <br /> • <br />
