<br /> <br />" <br /> <br />-' <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />· of 'the Azure Reservoir and Power Project for the benefit of <br />the prospective users of Colorado River water for irrigation <br />and other beneficial consumptive uses, and, further implemen- <br />tation of this Agreement by all Parties is a further step in <br />providing continued cooperation of both the East and West <br />Slopes of Colorado in the development of all of Colorado's <br />water resources for the beneficial use of all citizens of the <br /> <br />State of Colorado. <br /> <br />PART V <br /> <br />AGREEMENTS OF SUBDISTRICT <br /> <br />6. Subdistrict, as expeditiously as reasonably <br /> <br />possible, will use its best efforts to cause the Azure Reservoir <br />and Power Project to be constructed at or near its decreed <br />location on the Colorado River to its maximum feasible capacity <br /> <br />at the Subdistrict's sole cost and at no cost to the River <br /> <br />District, except as hereinafter provided, or to any citizen <br />or entity of Colorado West of the Continental Divide, including <br />Jackson County. Provided, however, that determination of the <br /> <br />maximum feasible capacity of Azure Reservoir (estimated to be <br /> <br />28,000 to 30,000 acre feet) shall include an evaluation of <br /> <br />the cost effectiveness of protective works and facilities <br /> <br />required to prevent interference with the maintenance and <br /> <br />use of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. In determining <br /> <br />cost effectiveness, if the incremental value (over the life <br /> <br />of the Azure Project) of the gain in storage capacity and <br />power production by construction of protective works exceeds <br /> <br />the cost of such works, such protective works shall be <br />included as part of the Project. All necessary Federal, <br />State or local permits and licenses required by law shall be <br /> <br />obtained by Subdistrict at its sole cost. River District <br /> <br />will cooperate and aid, including participation as a joint <br /> <br />applicant, Subdistrict in obtaining such permits and licenses. <br /> <br />Costs incurred by the River District in cooperating, aiding, <br />or as a joint applicant, in the Obtaining of necessary <br /> <br />permits or licenses shall be borne by River District. <br />,'" <br /> <br />-6- <br /> <br />0943 <br /> <br />
