<br />~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />TASK 5 - CORRIDDR STUDY <br /> <br />1) Determine potential pipeline alignment corridors and identify needed <br />rights-of-way. Evaluate them on a preliminary basis for feasible <br />easement locations, pipeline costs, and interference with utilities <br />and other uses. <br /> <br />2) Compare alternative alignments to the existing pipeline corridor for <br />cost comparisons of construction costs, easement costs, and route <br />restoration costs. <br /> <br />3) If no alternate routes are clearly comparable on a cost basis, then use <br />the existing alignment and do not proceed with further study on the <br />alternate alignments (go to line 7). If other alignments show a strong <br />potential to be a better route at comparable costs, then those alignments <br />should be studied further. <br /> <br />4) Check with other agencies who may have conflicts with alternate routes <br />and determine land acquisition needs that would be needed. <br /> <br />5) Prepare preliminary location plan sheets showing feasible horizontal <br />alignments and examine each for cost-effectiveness, right-of-way locations <br />(including preliminary cost estimates), and interference with above-ground <br />and underground structures and utilities. <br /> <br />6) Identify the most feasible pipeline alignment between the existing <br />alignment and the other alternate routes in conjunction with CWCB and <br />the City of Cortez. <br /> <br />7) Determine the pipeline size necessary for municipal and industrial water <br />usage and effective hydro-power generation. <br /> <br />8) Establish the preliminary plan and profile drawings for the route <br />selected. <br /> <br />9) Review and select the most suitable pipeline materials utilizing results <br />from available geotechnical data. A soils analysis is to be conducted <br />as soon as the most feasible alignment is selected. <br />
