Page 4 of 4 June 28,2011 <br /> Potential Projects-MOA Concerning the Upper Colorado River Basin Fund <br /> a.) Assistance and support with design and implementation of related water storage and <br /> reservoir rehabilitation projects(no estimate available at present); <br /> b.) Support planning efforts including on-farm system delivery improvement to reduce deep <br /> percolation and to achieve water conservation goals and objectives(no estimate available <br /> at present); <br /> c.) Augmentation planning and implementation for Delta County(minimize SWSI 2010 in <br /> basin gap)(no estimate available at present) <br /> 8.) Support activities related to Ridgway Reservoir and Tri-county WCD system <br /> (pursuant to environmental compliance (Le., Gunnison Basin Programmatic <br /> Biological Opinion;PRO),water conservation activities,consumptive use,quality of <br /> water and water conservation activities, including,but not limited to: <br /> a.) Assistance with hydropower permitting,conversion,installation,as requested <br /> b.) Support planning efforts including system delivery improvement to reduce system <br /> leakage,deep percolation and to achieve water conservation goals and objectives;(no <br /> estimate available at present) <br /> c.) Augmentation planning and implementation for Ouray County(minimize SWSI 2010 in <br /> basin gap)(no estimate available at present) <br /> 9.) Support activities related to Taylor Park Reservoir and Upper Gunnison WCD <br /> system(pursuant to water conservation activities,consumptive use,quality of water <br /> and water conservation activities, including,but not limited to: <br /> a) Support planning and implementation efforts including on-and off-farm system delivery <br /> and application improvements to reduce losses and to achieve water conservation goals <br /> and objectives(no estimates available at present) <br /> 10.) Additional potential projects have been identified in the Colorado and <br /> Yampa/White/Green River Basins but may be of a lower priority and potentially less <br /> appropriate,however such projects can be provided upon request(e.g.,participating <br /> projects include Silt,West Divide,Collbran and other interrelated and interdependent <br /> projects have demonstrated unmet need for improvements and could qualify for Upper <br /> Colorado River Basin Funds under this MOA. <br /> In conclusion,the River District believes that the above listed potential projects qualify for <br /> funding under the Basin Fund MOA and meet the intent of this agreement. We submit this list <br /> for deliberation with the understanding that additional discussion and analysis will be necessary <br /> to refine the estimates and to understand any potential ramifications and trade-offs. <br /> Thank you very much for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> David Kanzer,P.E. <br />
