Silver Lake (a.k,a. Cemetery Lake) is privately owned and is not included
in this Plan of Study.

Hereafter, the term Design Condition will be used to refer to the above set

of demand and supply conditions and evaluations of the water supply deficit

corresponding to the lOO-year recurrence interval.

Computer models developed in the Phase I study were enhanced in Phase II to
simulate in greater detail various components of the City's water supply
system. Operational constraints of the City'S, Colorado-Big Thompson
Project's (CBT) , and Windy Gap Project's (WG) systems, as well as
management policies of the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District
(NCWCD) were taken into account.

Various alternatives to eliminate the City's projected deficit have been

evaluated in the Phase II study. Alternatives will be comprised of one or

more "Plan Elements". A Plan Element is a unique, specific action that the

City may take to reduce or eliminate projected water supply deficits. For

example, purchase of additional CBT units would be a Plan Element. The

alternatives were evaluated with respect to deficit reduction potential,

cost, and social and environmental issues associated with implementation.

Public participation has been an integral component of the Phase II study

and has been encouraged through: 1) Monthly Citizens Forum meetings to

present and discuss study progress reports, 2) joint City Council and

Water Board workshops and study sessions, and 3) a public hearing at which

the Interim Report will be presented following a 30-day review period.
