<br />Final Draft - Preferred Storage Options Plan <br />Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District <br />June 8, 2000 <br /> <br /> Proposed Rates <br /> In District Out of <br /> ($) District <br /> Agriculture M&I Users ($) <br />Project Water 2.00 3.00 <br />Carryover Water - 3.65 <br />If and When - 2.00 8.00 <br />Winter Water 0.50 - <br />Return Flows 1.50 <br />Use of Re-operation 4.00 <br />Space <br />Use of DWMS 2.00 10.00 <br /> <br />In summary, the preferred plan includes Phase I: Re-operation of the Fry-Ark Project to allow <br />municipal Project beneficiaries to store non-Project water in Project space and Phase 2: the <br />staged implementation of enlargements to the storage capacities at Pueblo Reservoir and <br />Turquoise Lake. <br /> <br />Based on the work completed to date, it appears that implementation of a long-range plan, which <br />includes Fry-Ark Project re-operation and enlargement of Fry-Ark Project storage capacity, to <br />meet the future water and storage needs of the District, is technically feasible. There do noC <br />appear to be any fatal flaws that would prevent implementation or cause excessive delays in <br />gaining the needed Federal permits. Costs to develop new reservoir storage by enlarging Project <br />reservoirs appear reasonable in comparison to other options available to District entities. <br /> <br />Recommendations <br /> <br />The PSOP report offers several key recommendations to the District Enterprise Board, which <br />are summarized below: <br /> <br />. Discuss process and schedule with the USBR and execute an MOU that provides <br />commitments to plan implementation from detailed engineering through pennitting, final <br />design, and construction. <br /> <br />!V GEl Consultants, Inc. <br /> <br />viii <br /> <br />1:\PROJECTS\9906I\Ro:poru\PTcferred SOP FirIaI_wpd <br />
