PLAN OF STUDY

A.

Purpose

The purpose of the Cone Reservoir Feasibility Study is to

determine the design requirements for enlarging the existing Cone

Reservoir to hold approximately 4,000 acre-feet of additional

capacity, and to determine construction costs, manner of operation,

and method of repayment.

B.

Level of Investigation

This will be a complete feasibility study performed in

sufficient detail to provide accurate cost estimates and repayment

schedules, as well as providing sufficient geologic and hydrologic

information to initiate discussions with the State Engineer regarding

preferred design configuration.

C.

Previous Work

The San Miguel Water Conservancy District has expended

approximately $30,000 in advancing the proposed Cone Reservoir

Enlargement to its current status. These expenditures have provided:

1. A reconnaissance level evaluation of various high level

reservoir sites and improvement plans, and the determination

that Cone Reservoir represents the most cost effective and

practical first stage development.

2.

Preliminary water supply analysis.

3.

Aerial photography of dam and reservoir area and the preparation

of detailed topographic maps at a 5 foot contour interval for

the reservoir and at a 2 foot interval for the dam.

4.

Two core holes on the right abutment and preliminary geologic
appraisal.
