" l.b, Identify the major geographic, hydrologic, geologic, demographic and socio- economic characteristics of the study area, l.c, Identify those entities, organizations, and individuals likely to have an interest in the outcome of the study. I,d, Initiate a process whereby the entities, organizations and individuals identified above can be informed of the study activities and aUowed an opportunity to participate in the study process, Lf. Utilizing the information and opinions gathered in the preceding tasks and in consultation with the CWCB, define the study objectives, Step 2 - Water Demands, Water Sources, Facility Components /- U sing the Reconnaissance Report as the starting point, identify and evaluate the water demands, water sources, and facility components, ' 2,a, Prepare evaluations and analyses to detennine the quantity and location of water rteedspresently and SO years in' the future for irrigation, municipal, industrial, wildlifeJinstteam flow, and other identified purposes. The water demands shall be detennined within the Dolores River basin, primarily upstream of McPhee ReserVoir and outside of the Dolores River basin, primarily in the Dolores Project service area, The water demands may include: arable land that could be served from the Dolores Project; wildlife / instream flow needs primarily below McPhee Dam; enhancement/mitigation of recreation below McPhee Dam; water for plans 'of augmentat1\}r\.primarily upstream of McPhee Reservoir; out-of-state marketing of domestic supplies to San Juan County, Utah, 2,b, Identify and ev.aluate potential water supply sources including: existing and new storage facilities; unused water in the Dolores River basin; third party water supplies through purchase or lease such as water rights and/or shares; conservation and/or improved' management of existing water supplies; through increase of, storage ire existing reservoirs; from small surface and/or alluvium storage sites; presently" developed supplies; from change of use of existing storage; from reservoir sites along the Dove Creek Canal. A hydrologic model (or models) will be prepared for use in formulation and evaluation of the alternatives .' ,', . ie, 'There are four types of storage sites that will be studied which are described below, ; 2,c. L Large Upstream Storage Sites - Studies conducted prior to the feasibility study have shown that a new storage site upstream of McPhee Reservoir on tributaries to the Dolores Riv~r is required. Of the sites investigated, the Plateau Dam site is the preferred site and will be included ~ Page 4 12130/98 F;ijohnlmemolWETP ACK SCOPE OF WORK,doc
