<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />0152 <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />What are the impacts and results of implementing the alternative. <br />Include social, economic, agricultural and environmental effects and <br />compare to the baseline condition. Describe any potential methods of <br />mitigating adverse effects. <br /> <br />3. Whether the alternative is feasible from a financial, legal, water rights <br />or engineering (infrastructure) aspect. <br /> <br />Alternatives must have a reasonable chance of implementation to <br />address and resolve fundamental problems facing Arkansas Valley <br />water users. If solutions will not work or will have only short term <br />success they should not be reco=ended for detailed study in <br />Phase II. <br /> <br />Economic analysis of alternatives should include estimates of <br />expected transaction costs. <br /> <br />If mitigation measures are necessary to make an alternative <br />feasible or desirable determine who should provide the mitigation <br />and what entity is the proper beneficiary of mitigation efforts <br /> <br />b) Determine and describe a baseline against which alternatives can be screened. <br />The baseline level of impacts should describe what occurs during a traditional <br />transfer of water from agriculture, involving the dry-up of irrigated acres, to <br />an out-of-basin use. For purposes of developing this level of impacts it may <br />be appropriate to: <br /> <br />Consider current operations and the resulting socio-economic and <br />environmental conditions that exist in the service area. <br /> <br />Assume that neither the Ft. Lyon Canal Co. nor state or local <br />government will act to prevent a change of use. Rather market <br />and other conditions result in a transfer of that amount of water <br />needed to meet some portion of the demands established in Task <br />2. <br /> <br />Assume (and quantify how) all remaining water users (on the Ft. <br />Lyon and elsewhere on the Arkansas River) must not be injured by <br />the change. <br /> <br />Describe and estimate all significant impacts to the environment <br />and regional economy including the tax base and tax burden to <br /> <br />11 <br />
