Some riprap has been <br />stored within approximately a mile of the site anticipating the future construction for the <br />reservOIr. <br /> <br />Evaluation of Alternatives <br /> <br />A range of alternatives were considered for this project. The primary ones included the <br />following: <br /> <br />1) Do not construct the project <br />2) Abandon Robbins Reservoir site and construct reservoir in new location <br />3) Remove the existing dam and replace with a new dam structure <br />4) Reconstruct and expand the existing dam to meet current standards and anticipated <br />needs <br /> <br />An evaluation of the alternatives is summarized in the following: <br /> <br />1) Do not construct the project. <br /> <br />The Robbins Reservoir for storage of water is vital to meet the needs of the <br />Metropolitan DistFict. It is not feasible to consider no project construction <br /> <br />2) Abandon the Robbins Reservoir site and construct a reservoir in a new location. <br /> <br />The Metropolitan Districts have water augmentation plans and decreed rights <br />which provide for utilizing Robbins Reservoir. The Robbins Reservoir is a natural <br />site and allows for an economical dam and reservoir to be constructed. No other <br />sites in the area have been identified that appear to be well suited for a reservoir <br />site. The legal requirements for water rights, storage, and physical constraints <br />makes relocation to a new site not feasible. <br /> <br />10 <br />
