<br />002906 <br /> <br />Thompson (CBT) West Slope Facilities Operations will not be included in Phase 2 as a <br />stand-alone alternative but will be further investigated as a component of Alternative Sa, <br />East Slope Power Operations and Scheduling. Alternative If, Bypass Diversions to <br />Storage, will not be investigated as a stand-alone alternative in Phase 2, but will be <br />analyzed as a component of Alternative Ig. Alternative If will only involve bypassing <br />diversions to storage and will not include bypassing direct diversion and/or transmountain <br />diversions. <br /> <br />The Phase 2 investigation of these alternatives will focus on the best combination of these <br />alternatives to produce the average annual 20,000 acre-feet. The Phase 2 investigation <br />will seek to develop a feasible Expanded Coordinated Reservoir Operations alternative <br />while: (a) avoiding or minimizing effects on existing water users, and (b) providing <br />equitable distribution of effects among water users. <br /> <br />. Alternative 2: Grand Valley Centric. Alternatives 2a, 2b, and 2c will not be further <br />evaluated in Phase 2. <br /> <br />. Alternative 3: Efficiencies of Conveyance and Distribution Facilities. Alternative 3a, <br />Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD), Alternative 3b, Southeastern <br />Colorado Water Conservancy District (SECWCD), and Alternative 3c, Municipalities: <br />Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Aurora, and Denver Water, will not be further investigated in <br />Phase 2. Alternative 3d, Reanalysis of Grand Valley Water Management Project, and <br />Alternative 3e, Analysis of Grand Valley Irrigation Company (GVle) Water <br />Management, will not be further investigated as stand-alone alternatives in Phase 2. <br />These alternatives, however, will be further studied as possible components of <br />Alternative I, Expanded Coordinated Reservoir Operations, <br /> <br />. Alternatives 4a through 4e: New Storage Projects Above Shoshone. These reservoir <br />sites will not be further investigated in Phase 2. <br /> <br />. Alternatives 4f through 40: New Storage Projects Below Shoshone. This alternative <br />was aggregated into three components. <br /> <br />1. New mainstem storage (Alternative 4m). This alternative will be further <br />investigated in Phase 2 and the Webster Hill site will be the focus of this <br />investigation. <br /> <br />2, Tributary sites for new storage at which pumping would not be required <br />(Alternatives 4h, 4i, 4j, 41), These sites will not be further considered in Phase 2, <br /> <br />3. Tributary sites for new storage at which pumping would be required (Alternatives <br />4f, 4g, 4k, 4n, 40). This alternative will be further investigated in Phase 2 and <br />will focus on the Roan Creek site. <br /> <br />. Alternative Sa: East Slope Power Operations and Scheduling. This alternative will <br />be further investigated in Phase 2, <br /> <br />p:\data\gen\Ocwcb\18133\report\phase-l \exec sum. doc ES-2 <br />
