Savage, President <br />West Anvil Water & Power Company <br />1332 Arabian Avenue <br />~ifle, Colorado 81650 <br /> <br />Re: Webster Hill Project Feasibility Study <br /> <br />Dear Marshall: <br /> <br />Attached is Gibbs & Hill's report to you on the feasihility of the proposed <br />Webster Hill Reservoir and Hydropower Project. We have concluded that the <br />project is feasible, based on the design concepts and assumptions detailed in <br />the report. <br /> <br />The geotechnical investigations, hydrologic studies, conceptual design, opera- <br />tion plan, and constructahility analysis addressed the project in considerable <br />detail. We believe that any significant technical obstacles would have been <br />detected, and none were. Similarly, the environmental setting and prospective <br />impacts were thoroughly reviewed, and we conclude that none of the impacts <br />examined will be severe enough to prevent project development. The project is <br />also economically viable, given the prospective ownership arrangement in which <br />a water partner will invest capital based on the assumed value of water and <br />receive long-term claim to the project-developed water supply for dry years. <br /> <br />We find the project to be exciting and to have good prospects for implemen- <br />tation. We recommend that Phase II begin as quickly as possible, with par- <br />ticular emphasis on assembling the material required for the FERC license <br />appl ication and on developing additional information regarding prospective <br />recipients of the water supply. <br /> <br />We have enjoyed working with you on this study and will be available to answer <br />questions that you or your associates may have on our report, or to assist you <br />in other ways with further project development. <br /> <br />v1}/Jtru,lytrs, <br />A~Forbes <br />Western Region Office <br />!k(B~ ~~~~ <br /> <br />Manager- Environmental & Power <br />Denver Office <br /> <br /> <br />AKF:DBW:emd <br /> <br />Crave; <br />
