fi <br /> Mr. Mike Serial, P.E. <br /> August 30, 2002 <br /> Page2. • <br /> • <br /> Beyond obtaining the sources described above fo'r use during this plan year,AGUA is also• <br /> actively searching out new replacement sources to have available for next year's plan. AGUA is <br /> trying to obtain approximately 2,000-acre-feet at an expected cost of$25 per acre-foot, or a total <br /> cost of$50,000. If possible, AGUA would like to make long term or permanent arrangements for <br /> some of these potential sources. . <br /> Engineering expenses associated with the plan during this remarkable year, including <br /> procurement of the new water sources, amendment of AGUA's plan to include such water, <br /> • amendment of the plan to adjust to the reduced amount of replacement water available, and the <br /> almost daily need to be involved in the plan operation have exceeded $60,000. Before the 2002 <br /> plan year is out those costs are expected to be approximately$100,000, far beyond the$25,000 <br /> to $30,000 the annual plan normally costs AGUA. <br /> • <br /> Based on the conditions described above AGUA respectfully requests a grant of$100,000 to <br /> cover the purchase cost of water that has already been obtained, and the purchase of water that <br /> . continues to be sought. If the grants are only available as matching funds, AGUA would like you <br /> to consider the extra operating expenses of this year as its contribution. <br /> I would be pleased to try and answer any questions that you might, or to provide further details <br /> during your consideration of this request. Please let Me know what if anything else may be <br /> required and when this request will be considered by the CWCB Director and State Engineer <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> ROCKY MOUNTAIN CONSULTANTS, INC. • <br /> • <br /> 07adtd 72,2•0,71. <br /> Mark A.
