The requisite information will be primarily developed <br />from past and ongoing studies, from pub1 ished reports, and from <br />discussions with federal and state agencies. <br /> <br />The Corps will then layout routes from the diversion points <br />to the areas of use and proceed to develop yields and reconnaissance <br />level cost estimates, including capital and operation and maintenance <br />(0 & M) costs. In addition, the Corps will provide an overview <br />assessment of the environmental impacts of the transfer schemes <br />along their routes. The General Contractor will identify any <br />terminal facilities, such as storage facilities, that may be <br />required (these will be included in the Corps cost estimates). <br />The General Contractor will make reconnaissance-level estimates <br />of costs of distributing the transferred water for use and will <br />assess the overall environmental impacts and institutional feasibility <br />of the transfer schemes. The alternatives will be screened at <br />this point on the basis of physical feasibility, reconnaissance- <br />level cost estimates, environmental impacts, and institutional <br />requirements for implementation. More detailed studies, including <br />energy requirements and supplies, will be performed on the <br />remaining alternatives and, with review and comments by the <br />High Plains Study Council and EDA, the most attractive interbasin <br />transfer alternatives will be selected for consideration in the <br />assessments in Element B-ll. <br /> <br />OUTPUT TO: <br /> <br />A Task Report will be prepared describing in detail <br />the interbasin transfer alternatives recommended <br />for comprehensive evaluation. The report by the <br />Corps of Engineers will be the basis of the Task <br />Report, but the General Contractor will provide <br />the assessments from B-4, B-6, and B-11. The <br />alternatives will be described with respect to: <br /> <br />1. Location and capacity of physical facilities <br />2. Yields and delivery schedule (A/F month by time <br />period) <br />3. Capital costs, O&M costs, and annualized costs <br />4. Environmental and socioeconomic impacts <br />5.
