<br />L <br />n <br /> <br />Exhibit A <br />Grant for Proposed Feasibility Study of Long Hollow Reservoir and Red Mesa Reservoir Enlargement <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I'.: <br />1".::' <br /> <br />D. Permitting <br /> <br />Environmental documentation and permitting applications will be prepared <br />during the study, so that the permit applications may be provided to <br />appropriate agencies at the completion of the feasibility study. <br /> <br />E. Financing <br /> <br />A Financial Plan will be developed that describes the financing and <br />repayment for project development costs. The package will identifY and <br />evaluate funding sources such as construction loan from the CWCB; a <br />construction grant from the Colorado Water Resources and Power <br />Development Authority authorized on November 30, 2001, which included <br />$15 Million for grants and loans to fund projects to improve irrigation and <br />domestic water management on the La Plata River; funding to support a <br />wildlife/instream flow; funds from irrigators; and other water user <br />payments. <br /> <br />Formulation of Alternatives <br /> <br />A. WWE will formulate and evaluate alternatives to increase the height of the <br />dam based upon the available data. Results will be presented for: <br /> <br />1. Available borrow material, in situ properties and suitability for use as <br />compacted fill material in zones of the embankment. <br /> <br />2. The suitability of material in proposed borrow areas for compared <br />embankment, riprap and concrete aggregate. <br /> <br />3. Preliminary embankment section including zones compatible with the <br />available fill material(s). <br /> <br />4. Methods to reduce seepage at the ~]:lUtments and beneath the foundation <br />of the dam. <br /> <br />r: <br />l~ <br /> <br />F <br />I; <br />, , <br /> <br />r;; <br />u <br />10 <br />~. <br /> <br />f.i' <br />fL <br /> <br />c <br />t. <br />,., <br /> <br />f.".."... <br />L <br />fie. <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />[': <br />L <br /> <br />5.

These issues will <br />include inlet conditions, sizing of outlet works, spillway needs, and conditions in the <br />receiving channel. In addition, the condition of the existing outlet works will be <br />evaluated" Consideration ofthese issues is intended to identify potential hydraulics <br />related fatal flaws for the site and will be incorporated into the alternatives analysis. <br /> <br />In the case of the spillway, the design storm used in the evaluation will be based upon a <br />classification that is related to the size of reservoir, the height of the dam and the <br /> <br />t <br /> <br />!J <br />U <br />f..~!. <br />!J <br /> <br />10 <br />L. <br />
