The Authority and Harris Water Engineering (HWE) entered into an
Agreement on December 12, 1984, for HWE to perform a feasibility study
and prepare a report on the Lemon Dam Project. Notice to begin the
study was given on February 15, 1985. The study has been completed and
attached is the final Feasibility Report on the Project, with Volume I
being the Report and Volume II the Appendices to the Report.

In addition to the Feasibility Report, a Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission License Application has been prepared (Appendix A) and
submi tted on the hydropower component of the project. A special use
permit application has also been submitted to the U. S. Fore'st Service
to construct the power plant and transmission line.

Numerous State and Federal agencies were contacted during the course of
the study, particularly the Bureau of Reclamation and Colorado Division
of Wildlife. The ideas and concerns of all the agencies have been
incorporated into the project plan.

Thank you for the opportunity to work with the Authority on
Dam Project. I look forward to further involvement with the
as the project progresses toward construction.
