<br />,.' <br /> <br />ODG3~6 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br /> <br />/:-:' <br /> <br />I~t FF - <br />I., A,$lC I, I ~ <br />F <br />I <br />~ rts <br /> <br />TO: Ray Tenney <br />FROM: Chuck Brendecke <br />SUBJECT: Progress Report for January - Elkhead Enlargement Study <br />DATE: February 10.1994 <br /> <br />Our January work effort was directed primarily at Tasks 1, 4, 6 and 8 with lesser <br />in Tasks 3, 7, 10 and 11, <br /> <br />Task 1 charges reflect preparation for and participation in the TSG meeting on January 7 <br />as well as a number of internal project team meetings on scheduling and sub-task assignments. <br />It also includes some deferred maintenance work on project files. I normally try to charge <br />TSG meetings to specific tasks, but the January 7 meeting covered several tasks. <br /> <br />Task 3 charges reflect continued data gathering activity, mainly in the area of water <br />quality and in "filling in gaps" . ' <br /> <br />Task 4 charges reflect subcontractor fees related to reservoir engineering investigations. <br />These fees include participation in the January 7 meeting, mineral rights evaluation work, <br />completion of the geotechnical report, and miscellaneous other items, <br /> <br />Task 6 charges reflect modeling efforts related to reservoir sizing and operations and <br />analysis of daily flow variation and peak flow timing. We also re-ran the contemplated draft <br />analysis to reflect the previous transfer of 19,000 af from the Juniper storage decree, <br />Accumulated charges to this task are now at 75 % of our internal budget (this internal budgetis <br />net of subcontract set asides for Bill Miller's fish management operations studies). Given that <br />, we still have a technical memorandum to write this means that further operational modeling <br />needs to be very well focused to avoid an over-run on this task. Quite a bit of last fall's <br />modeling work, related to the Environmental Baseline was charged against Task 6 when it <br />probably should have been charged to Task 8; some additional budget "headroom" in Task 6 <br />might be created by shifting Task 8 monies to Task 6 to reflect this. <br /> <br />Task 7 charges reflect initiation of work related to the Preliminary Environmental <br />Assessment. Charges in this Task will be increasing over the next couple of months, <br /> <br />Task 8 charges reflect meetings, data review, modeling work, and document preparation <br />related to the Preliminary Biological Assessment. Weare aiming to have a draft for Keith <br />Rose to review by the end of February, though recently discussed uncertainties regarding <br />procedures for making comparisons to the recommended flow regime have the potential to <br />delay this target. <br /> <br />Task 10 and 11 charges reflect some minor outlining work for the final report and some <br />residual expenses associated with December's diversion structure work. <br /> <br />Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or comments on our January <br />work effort. <br /> <br />cc: Bob Norman <br />Bill Stanton <br /> <br />Hydrosphere Resource Consultants ,1002 Walnut Suite 200 Boulder, Colorado 80302 <br />Cl:\P~OJt(:nll~~Q01\Pl<OGA!5S\UI<T1nto CAt"ll!O: ;tBIIUAAY 10. 19&4 9:3' .oM PIlINTeD, 'ob",,,,, 10. 1994 11:11 AM <br /> <br />11 :, .' ~ <br />
