4.0 EVALUATION OF PLAN ELEMENTS - YIELD AND COST (TASK 3)

Various courses of action (e.g., Plan Elements) for increasing the
available water supply or decreasing the City's demand were examined in
Phase II. Indiv'idual Plan Elements may be categorized into three groups:
(a) increasing the capacity of Loveland's storage system; (b) acquiring
additional water supplies; and (c) implementing water conservation measures
during deficit periods. The specific Plan Elements evaluated were:

1. Yater conservation measures as they may affect summer and winter
water usage.

2. Adjudication of a new direct-flow right on the Big Thompson River
to utilize "free" water as available.

3. Additional reservoir storage capacity at Green Ridge Glade.

4. Additional reservoir storage capacity at Maitland Canyon.

5. Reservoirs at both sites.

6. Acquisition of additional CBT units.

7. Acquisition of additional Yindy Gap units.

8.

Acquisition of additional direct-flow water on the Big Thompson
River.

Each of the Plan Elements was evaluated independently. For instance, when

evaluating the potential for acquiring additional CBT units, the other

sources of water supply and the City's demand rates remained as specified

in the Design Condition. Each Plan Element which resulted in elimination

of the Design Condition deficit was considered an alternative.
