'" i ,~ <br /> <br />. .. -~ ;':'; <br /> <br />some of the concerns: <br /> <br />1. The benefits seem to be understated, by using one use <br />value and not taking into consideration re-use value, plus leveling <br />effect on the high and low flews that will increase the effiCiency <br />of diversions below the projects. <br /> <br />2. The value used for municipal and industrial water does <br />not coincide with the market. <br /> <br />The value of this water should be reflected by location, <br />quality, demand, current market and projected market. <br /> <br />~ater leased by G.A.S.P. in the area. close to Denver for <br />several years at ten dollars an acre foot was leased to a municipal- <br />ity in 1981 for two hundred twenty dollars an acre foot. .By con~' <br />rust, water in the lower reaches of the river is rented for six <br />dollars an acre foot. <br /> <br />Geographic Scope: <br /> <br />The study .is limitc~ to examining water resource development <br />0.1 ternatj. yes that exj.ot or have been proposed at/or down stream <br />fro];! the confluence of t:,c north for], of:' tne South Platte River <br />and the ]K~in stem of the ;oouth Platte. <br /> <br />This statement leads one to believe that the study will be a <br />rehash of old projects and trJat 2J1Y new or innove.tive ideas that may <br />be proposed, regardless of merit, will not be considered. <br />
