<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Task 2 - FIELD REVIEW OF SITES <br />Once the rankings are developed, HWE will make a site visit to all <br />of the "good" sites, and as many of the "average" sites as is <br />physically possible within the schedule. In general numbers, HWE <br />plans to make a field visit to about 12 to 20 dam sites. <br /> <br />The purpose of the field reviews is to collect as much available <br />information as possible in order to perform technical evaluations <br />of each of the dam projects. The technical evaluations are <br />described in Task 3. The field visits will involve on-site dam <br />location inspections as well as interviews with local entities who <br />need water from the dam, and collection of existing information <br />from entities such as USGS and Division Engineers. <br /> <br />As a minimum the field inspection would collect the following data: <br /> <br />* determine preliminary on-site location of dam, <br /> <br />* develop dam cross section; either from maps, on site <br />survey by HWE, or by hiring a local surveyor to survey <br />cross section, <br /> <br />* estimate foundation preparation requirements such as <br />depth to bedrock, material sources, slide potential in <br />reservoir basin, etc., <br /> <br />* determination of land ownership. <br /> <br />* collect information to make best possible estimate of <br />water supply into reservoir, including water rights held <br />and/or needed, <br /> <br />* collect information to make best possible estimate of <br />water demands, including: potential irrigated acreage <br />(new land and supplemental service), irrigation water <br />requirement, population growth, per capita water use, <br />industry needs, and other needs, <br /> <br />* determine who the responsible entities might be and <br />identify contact persons. <br /> <br />Task 3 - TECHNICAL EVALUATIONS <br />The third task is technical evaluations of at least 12 small dam <br />sites; however, HWE is estimating about 20 sites will be included <br />in the field reconnaissance. The evaluations will utilize: the <br />information obtained in the field reviews, HWE knowledge of <br />Colorado, general information (SCS Irrigation Guide for crop water <br />use, USGS and SEO stream gages, Bureau of Reclamation data, generic <br />per capita use information, etc.), and any other data that is <br />pertinent. <br /> <br />3 <br />
