., The wster sources on the West Slope are shown in figure 1. The water sources on the Eaat Slope are shown in figure 2. The scope of this technical appendix is to present the engineering descriptions, environ-. mental analyses, and institutional issues on the water sources. Two levels of detail are p"resented for the analysis of the water sources; both levels represent systemwide detail. The level of analysis applied to each water source is based on the level of information availsble, particularly in regard to engineering, cost, yield, and ope rat ional characteristics. The basic premise is the greater the detail available on the description of the project, the greater the degree of environ- mental analysis and the more specifically the institutional issues can be identified. REPORT ORGANIZATION Technical appendix 4B consists of a syllabus, a general introduc- tion, the methodology, a resource overview, and eight chapters describ- ing the nature and consequences of developing the water sources. The chapters are divided into project descriptions, environmental analyses, and institutional issues. The project descriptions provide information on the engineering components of the projects, Including costs, yields, and implementation schedules, as appropriate. The environmental analyses describe the environmental resources of the study areas, .the potential impscts the projects would have on those resources, and mitigation options and a range of costs to mitigate those impacts. The institutional issues included in each project chapter are those that are likely to pertain only to that project but are not necessarily the only institutional concerns a project would be required to address. Descriptions of frequently required permits and approvals are provided within the institutional issues section of each chapter. 5
