<br />Pronosed Proiect <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />The Fortune reservoir site is located about Yz mile northwest of the intersection of <br />Highway 72 and Indiana Street on a dry tributary of Big Dry Creek in the City of Arvada, <br />as shown on the attached map. The site encompasses about 250 acres of land with no <br />existing structures. <br /> <br />The proposed dam is a 105- foot high, zoned earth embankment with a crest length of <br />5,000 feet impounding a reservoir with a capacity of about 9,000 acre-feet. The spillway <br />will be sized to pass the Probable Maximum Flood and will discharge to the historic Big <br />Dry Creek drainage channel. The project also includes about 5 Yz miles of30-inch and <br />24-inch pipeline to connect Fortune Reservoir with the rest of the Maple Grove raw water <br />system. The total cost of the project is estimated at $21,585,000 as summarized by major <br />project elements in Table 2. <br /> <br />Table 2.

Environmental studies were conducted with the <br />involvement of the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) and the <br />Corps of Engineers. The Corps issued a letter in November 1996 stating that no federal <br />permits will be required for the project. <br /> <br />Consolidated has conducted a testing program at the site for any potential contamination <br />from the Rocky Flats nuclear facility to the north of the site. The testing indicated the <br />property was safe for use as a storage site, CDPHE issued a letter in January 1997 <br />indicating there are no health concerns with the site. <br /> <br />Final design and land and right-of-way acquisitions are completed. Construction work on <br />Highway 72 has also been completed. The remaining construction will begin in August of <br />this year with project completion scheduled for March 2003. <br /> <br />Financial Summarv <br /> <br />The company's financial condition appears strong at the present time.
