<br />BackClround
<br />
<br />On May 24, 1988, the Colorado Water Conservation Board (the State) entered into a
<br />Contract with Summit County (the Contractor) to determine at a reconnaissance level of
<br />detail, the physical and legal availability of water for various uses in the Blue River Basin in
<br />Summit County. WBLA, Consultants on Environment and Natural Resources, Boulder, CO,
<br />was retained by Summit County to conduct the feasibility study. Per the terms of the
<br />Contract, the State agreed to compensate the Contractor $60,000 for the services of the
<br />consultant. The Contract was amended on January 11, 1990, increasing the State's
<br />compensation amount from $60,000 to $70,000.
<br />
<br />Paragraph 4 of the amended Contract, dated January 11, 1990, states "In
<br />consideration of the State providing a portion of the cost of the preparation of the said project
<br />feasibility report, the Contractor shall pay to the State the sum $90,650, provided that
<br />construction of the subject water project is initiated within 10 years of the date of this
<br />Contract. The Contractor shall fulfill this obligation irrespective of how or by whom or to what
<br />specifications or plans the subject project is financed, paid, or constructed for so long as
<br />construction of said project is initiated within the specified time".
<br />
<br />The final report, entitled "Summit County Small Reservoir Feasibility Study", was
<br />completed by WBLA in September of 1990. The Study had three objectives: 1) assure
<br />adequate water supplies and instream flows above and below Dillon Reservoir, 2) provide an
<br />emergency water supply for the Town of Dillon and the Dillon Valley in the event of
<br />hazardous material spills on 1-70, and 3) meet the mitigation requirements which Federal
<br />agencies might impose in connection with County water uses under the Green Mountain
<br />Reservoir Marketing Program. The study recommended various water management
<br />alternatives, consisting of structural and non-structural measures, developed from previous
<br />studies, field reconnaissance, discussions with representatives of basin water supply
<br />agencies. Three structural recommendations were presented: 1) rehabilitating the Old Dillon
<br />Ditch and Reservoir system at an estimated cost of $30,000, 2) A new storage facility of
<br />2200 acre-ft. on Peru Creek at an estimated of $6,500,000, and 3) an infiltration gallery on
<br />Laskey Gulch at an estimated cost of $30,000.
