<br />Pueblo Reservoir Enlargement Study- I met with the Bureau following their <br />presentation at our May 20th SSG meeting. They have agreed that they will <br />provide a written response to each of the questions raised by B&V regarding the <br />Pueblo ReseNoir Enlargement Study. I will coordinate a meeting with B&V and <br />the Bureau within two weeks. Following this meeting the Bureau will finalize the <br />study. B&V will then begin their evaluation of the costs and issues from a total- <br />project perspective-looking at environmental and recreation issues, and total <br />project costs. We should have a report from B&V within the next 60 to 90 days. <br /> <br />Action Items for Needs Assessment Enterprise <br />Board Meeting- <br /> <br />Southeastern Colorado Water Activity Enterprise-Report <br /> <br />Safety of Dams Project-USBR engineers have determined that the problem <br />with the rockbolts is due to a failure in the grouting within the rockbolt casing. <br />About 10% of the bolts had failed to adhere. The defective bolts will be replaced. <br />Despite the rockbolt issues crews have been working to place the concrete <br />overlay on top of the RGG. That work should be done by October of this year. <br /> <br />Later this summer (August) the contractor will want the Bureau to consider <br />removing one or both of the temporary diversion structures so that they can have <br />greater access to that portion of the plunge pool. It would be difficult (not <br />impossible) for them to place the 2-foot concrete cap around the diversion <br />structures. Depending upon delivery demands both diversion structures may <br />need to stay in place until after the irrigation season. The Partnering Group will <br />again discuss this issue at our July meeting. <br /> <br />We have sent the Bureau the 4th up-front payment for estimated SOD costs <br />($134,200.). Prior to mailing the check Neva reviewed the Bureau's numbers and <br />issued a set of questions to the Bureau. Those questions/issues (contained in <br />the attached June 4th letter to Jack Garner) have not yet been addressed by the <br />Bureau; however, the payment was due June 11, 1999. Update: Neva will <br />review with Board the SOD project cost numbers as of May 31st 1999. <br /> <br />Action Items for Water Activity Enterprise Board Meeting <br /> <br />2 <br />
