The response to submittal requirement #5d, identifies the excess capacity
or water supply of the system as a whole. Attachments 2 & 3 show the
anticipated rate that supply will diminish. (Concerning capacity and
efficiency of the water collection system, see paragraph 5(f).
Colorado Springs will upgrade treatment plants to accomodate additional
Homestake Phase II water as necessary. The City of Aurora will shortly
complete a new water treatment plant that is designed to treat the water
developed by Homestake Phase II, and will continue to expand treatment
plant capacity as necessary.

(7) Environmental Impact Analysis;

(a) Land Use;

(i) Provide A Map Detailing Existing Land Uses Of The Proposed
Development And Source Development Area And The Project
Service Area Including Peripheral Lands Which May Be
Impacted.

(ii) All Immediately Affected Public Land Boundaries Should
Be Indicated On The Map.

Attachment 7 contains the Comprehensive Planning Report #2, Zone Map,
and Utilities Service Area Map for the City of Colorado Springs. Contained
therein are sufficient documentation to meet the requirement for mapping
of the development area. (Note: The City's Comprehensive Plan is
undergoing significant revision and Comprehensive Plan Report #2 is a
basic document in that revision.) Attachment 8 is the Comprehensive
Plan for the City of Aurora. Contained therein is also a map detailing
the information required. The maps demonstrate the service areas which
are almost entirely subject to the municipal jurisdictions of the respective
Cities. Aurora's water service area is identical to the corporate boundaries.
Attachments 9 and 12 are maps showing the location of the proposed
diversion project in the development area. It should be noted that the
proposed project is almost entirely within a designated wilderness area.
In Attachment 12, all public land boundaries are identified and impacts
on those lands are illustrated by the location of the proposed tunnel
and diversion sites.

(iii) Specify Whether The Proposed Project Conforms To
This County's Planning Policies.
