The followings steps <br />are recommended if the District decides to pursue the enlargement <br />of Prospect Reservoir sometime in the future. <br /> <br />1. The cost per cubic yard to place and compact fill used herein <br />is based upon a contractor estimate of $1 per cubic yard which is <br />very low. In short, if there is a contractor that can place and <br />compact fill for about $1 per cubic yard, the District should <br />immediately prepare plans and specifications so that construction <br />can begin as soon as possible (before the contractor can change his <br />mind) . The first step should be to reconfirm the contractor <br />estimate of $1 per cubic yard. In winter of 1994. <br /> <br />2. If the contractor can place material for between $1 and $2 per <br />cubic yard. The District would then decide if enlargement of the <br />dam for about $2.50 per acre is affordable.
