<br />Configurations
<br />Identify, develop and evaluate three or more project configurations, consisting of structural-and
<br />non-structural measures, that appear to be technically, financially and economically feasible as
<br />well as politically and environmentally acceptable in transporting Colorado River water from the
<br />Colorado/Utah border to the Continental Divide of Colorado for division and use on the west and
<br />east slopes of Colorado at three levels of water diversion and demand scenarios:
<br />
<br />250,000 acre-feet/year
<br />500,000 acre-feet/year
<br />Full Compact Development (to be provided by CWCB)
<br />
<br />These three scenarios encompass a range of water supplies available during an average year from
<br />the Colorado River compact entitlements. . I /./ I - :t / ~J~

<br />The CRRP is proposed as a reconnais nee-level investigation that will be c nducted in sufficient
<br />detail to: define that a need exists r will exist for the water made availall e from the project,
<br />establish technical requirements and components ofthe project, i,e" size, type an location of project
<br />facilities, detennine project environmental constraints and water quality c Is, distinguish the
<br />major differences between configurations and the advantages and disadvantages of those
<br />configurations, provide a preliminary indication of feasibility for each configuration, and identify
<br />project sponsors and funding alternatives, The study scope will be comprehensive in that it will,
<br />within study budget limitations, address all physical, logistical, environmental, financial, legal, and
<br />institutional aspects of the construction of a large scale water delivery system from the Colorado
<br />River near the Utah border to be utilized in the South Platte, Arkansas and Colorado river basins,
<br />
<br />The major study tasks are:
<br />
<br />Initial Work Tasks
<br />
<br />Task I - Data Collection and Review
<br />
<br />Task 2 - Compilation of Water Demand Studies on the Arkansas, South Platte and Colorado
<br />River Mainstem
<br />
<br />Task 3 - Final Scoping Activities
<br />
<br />Flood Protection. Water Project Planning and Financing. Stream and Lake Protection
<br />Water Supply Protection. Conservation Plarming
