<br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Reconnaissance Enluation of Water Supply and Water Quality at Proposed Hatchery Sites. <br />(Task 5) <br /> <br />Objective: <br /> <br />To provide a more detailed water supply analysis (than included in Task 4) for <br />up to 8 proposed hatchery sites. This analysis will then factor into the decisions <br />of which three of the 8 sites should be carried into the final feasibility level <br />investigations, <br /> <br />Methodology: <br /> <br />I. For each of the water sources which showed promise as a hatchery supply, <br />collect records and perform analysis to refine the physical water availability <br />estimates of Task 4. <br /> <br />For surface water sources, collect 10 recent years of streamflow records <br />from USGS streamgages in the vicinity of the identified site and estimate <br />(through derived relationships with historic streamgages) physical water <br />availability for dry and average hydrological years at the identified sites, <br /> <br />For shallow groundwater, collect from the State Engineer's office records <br />of well yields in the vicinity of the hatchery site, <br /> <br />2, Collect available records on water quality from USGS and other sources. <br />Research will be conducted of USGS records; private, industrial or municipal <br />parties; Colorado Water Quality Control Commission, and previously prepared <br />reports containing water quality data, <br /> <br />3, Contact parties identified in Task 4 that my control existing augmentation water <br />sources to learn of availability and cost associated with those sources. <br /> <br />4. For each site, tabulate the characteristics of the available water sources. These <br />characteristics will include physical volumes of water available for dry and <br />average hydrOlogic years and associated water quality problems that may effect <br />a fish hatchery. A narrative will be prepared describing the available water <br />sources at each site and a general discussion of the availability of augmentation <br />sources, The sites will be ranked according to the attractiveness of the water <br />supply available to the site. <br /> <br />5. The need for water quality sampling and testing for each of the eight sites will <br />be discussed with the CWCB. The actual sampling and testing of water samples <br />is not included in the Scope of Services. <br /> <br />Work Products: <br /> <br />A narrative and accompanying tabulation of the characteristics of the water sources <br />available at 8 or less sites. This discussion will be factored into the required decisions <br />in limiting to three the potential sites addressed in the feasibility investigations. <br /> <br />12 <br />
