"' " Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation Proposal Hydrosphere, Inc. Septmber 17, 1993 Page 44 Refine Study Plan Purpose This task will produce a more specified and directed work plan based on the results of the initial scoping meetings. The work plan will identify specific data requirements and sources, geographic scope, analytical requirements and tools, investigations necessary to define facility needs and financial, environmental and institutional issues to be investigated. The results of this task will be used to guide the remainder of the Study process. Methodology and Evaluation Techniques The Project Team would incorporate the results of the scoping meetings into a draft Refined Study Plan. This draft would include detailed descriptions of the tasks required for data collection and analysis and investigation of the water supply opportunities. The Refined Study Plan would identify which data were readily available in useful form from other ongoing studies and from State agencies, and which data would have to be gathered and developed through special studies. The draft would be reviewed by the Study Management team and TSC, and comments would be reflected in a Final Study Plan. Linkages With Other Tasks This task will rely upon results of the scoping process described above and will specifically define other tasks necessary for completion of the MWSI project. Likely Sources of Information To Be Used The primary source of information for refinement of the study plan will be input from TSC, the Project Management Committee and the consulting team. Anticipated Problems Once the most promising water supply opportunities have been identified, it will be necessary to determine the appropriate level of detail required for effective reconnaissance level evaluation. The water supply systems associated with the targeted opportunities are highly evolved, very complex and have been subjected to many previous studies. It will be necessary to quiclcly and efficiently synthesize vast quantities of information to determine which sources are most relevant and most likely to provide an appropriate level of detail. As described above under the scoping task, scheduling problems related to coordination with the other imponant ongoing water supply planning efforts will need to be resolved. Deliverables A draft and final Refined Study Plan will be prepared. Cost The initially estimated budget for this task is $6,000.
