<br />Metropolitan Water Supply Investigations - Phase II Plan of Study <br />7/5/944:17PM <br /> <br />Page 17 <br /> <br />b) Approach <br /> <br />The following existing reservoirs will be included in the storage analysis: <br />Antero, Spinney Mountain, Elevenmile, Cheesman, Chatfield, Bear Creek, <br />Cherry Creek, Dillon, Aurora, Gross, and Barr Lake. <br /> <br />Obtain information from the applicable management agencies for each <br />reservoir including the following: <br /> <br />. A description of the physical features of the reservoir <br />. Associated water rights <br />. Current and future anticipated operational practices and constraints <br />. Availability of storage including space the may be available on a <br />temporary or permanent basis or on a seasonal basis <br /> <br />Gather information regarding other potential storage sites that have been <br />studied by metro area water agencies. This would include the s,urvey of <br />downstream storage opportunities conducted by Denver Water, work done by <br />Thornton on gravel pit storage, and others. <br /> <br />Evaluate the nature and extent of available storage at various existing and <br />proposed facilities in the context of each of the water supply options being <br />considered in the MWSI study. The objective of this evaluation would be to <br />determine which storage options may be suitable for use in conjunction with <br />effluent management, conjunctive use, and/or interruptible supply. <br />Identify legal and institutional arrangements necessary of utilization of <br />facilities where storage is available. <br /> <br />Identify environmental and recreational issues and constraints associated with <br />utilization of facilities where storage is available. <br /> <br />c) Output <br />A task memorandum describing various storage options, how those options <br />might be used in conjunction with the water supply sources that are the subject <br />of the MWSI and the legal, institutional and environmental issues that must be <br />addressed. <br /> <br />d) Sub-Task Leader: Lee Rozaklis <br />
