CONCLUSIONS <br /> <br />The Great Western Dam and Spillway Enlargement Amended Feasibility <br />Study has been prepared to provide a detailed evaluation of both the <br />technical aspects and financial feasibility of the project. This <br />study has followed the guidelines of the Colorado Water Conservation <br />Board for the preparation of feasibility reports. Following are the <br />conclusions and recommendations developed during the course of study. <br /> <br />1.
