<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />d) Brief overview of interstate compacts, U.S. Supreme Court decrees and interstate <br />agreements affecting Colorado River water use, <br /> <br />e) Water quality standards, i.e. Salinity Control Act, etc., <br /> <br />t) Existing water project funding programs, <br /> <br />g) Brief overview of the Colorado economy, <br /> <br />h) Endangered Species Act constraints, <br /> <br />i) Decision support systems and geographic information systems, and <br /> <br />j) Statewide issues and concerns with integration of this project water with existing <br />supplies. <br /> <br />Task 6 - Overview of Water Suvvlv Alternatives to the CRRP <br /> <br />For cost and water yield comparison purposes, identify and discuss the alternatives to a project. <br />the size of the CRRP. <br /> <br />6a. List the alternatives to a project the size of the CRRP for water development in the <br />State of Colorado. That list should include other readily-identified water development <br />projects currently being studied, transfer of agricultural water rights to municipal and <br />industrial users, water conservation, demand management, conjunctive use, and local <br />water project development. . <br /> <br />6b. Provide a narrative of the general advantages and disadvantages of each alternative <br />giving examples of each type of project. <br /> <br />Task 7 - Formulation of Proiect Confil!Urations <br /> <br />Formulate a number of project configurations to address the three water supply and demand <br />scenarios. Variations of these configurations will be identified for future consideration if near- <br />term and long-term development scenarios are pursued. <br /> <br />Configurations will.include both structural and non-structural elements that could be used <br />individually or in combination to facilitate this project. <br /> <br />Non-structural concepts may include: water rights transfers or exchanges, substitutions, trades, <br />water leasing, revised operations of existing systems and new or revised institutional <br />arrangements that have the potential to better utilize existing infrastructure, reduce demands <br />and/or increase supplies to facilitate this project. <br /> <br />Structural elements may include: systems for use of aquifers, new water storage reservoirs, use <br />and/or enlargements of existing water storage reservoirs and water delivery systems, diversion <br />structures, pump stations, pipelines and tunnels. Hydropower development will be considered <br />where it appears to have potential to repay some portion of the project construction and operation <br />costs. <br /> <br />7a. Select structural and non-structural plan elements for suitability in formulating <br />configurations. <br /> <br />7b. Develop a methodology or rationale for the formulation of configurations. <br /> <br />Page 9 of]2 <br /> <br />Contract SCOPE 5.'.03 BND <br />
