Wright <br />Water Engineers, Inc. (WWE) prepared this study plan on behalf ofthe La Plata Water <br />Conservancy District (LPWCD). WWE believes that sufficient preliminary work has <br />been completed to allow a feasibility study to proceed without conducting formal <br />reconnaissance level studies for either proposed reservoir. <br /> <br />The Red Mesa Reservoir Enlargement has been sufficiently evaluated to complete the <br />feasibility work in one phase, and proceed with construction on an expedited schedule. <br />For the Long Hollow Reservoir site, the scope of work and estimated costs have been <br />separated into two phases. Phase I consists of items necessary to satisfy the feasibility <br />threshold ofthe CWCB. Phase I will evaluate threshold issues that represent potential <br />fatal flaws for the Long Hollow site. A construction cost estimate for the two reservoir <br />projects -- within +/- 50% of actual costs -- will be attainable when this work is <br />completed. Phase II activities fOI Long Hollow Reservoir consist of the additional field, <br />lab and office work needed to refine the cost estimate for this project. <br /> <br />The scope of work and estimated 'costs for the proposed feasibility study are broken out <br />for the two separate reservoir sites since the work required for each site differs (see <br />Figure I for site locations and Table I for a cost summary). In addition, funds already <br />expended by various entities are summarized as matching funds for this grant application. <br /> <br />I.
