<br />1.15 Each long-range plan (scenario) represented " different <br /> <br /> <br />philosophical approach to providing water to the metropolitan area. <br /> <br />Scenario A was based on the largest South Platte reservoir (the <br /> <br /> <br />1,100,000 acre-foot Two Forks Reservoir) anel minor conservation. <br /> <br />Scenario B was based on the smallest South Platte reservoir (the <br /> <br /> <br />200,000 acre-foot Estabrook Reservoir) and major conservation. <br /> <br />Scenario C was based on the largest South Platte reservoir and major <br /> <br /> <br />conservation. A No Federal Action scenario was developed to project a <br /> <br /> <br />way to develop a long-term water supply if none of the alternative <br /> <br /> <br />projects were permitted. <br /> <br />1.16 Figures 1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 1-8, 1-9, 1-10, and I-II show the <br /> <br /> <br />alternative scenarios that were developed to provide a long-term water <br /> <br />supply for the Denver metropolitan area. Locations of eKisting and <br /> <br /> <br />proposed projects are shown in Figure 1-12. <br /> <br />1.17 This scenario analysis does not include all possible options or <br /> <br /> <br />combinations of options. Many other potential projects could be <br /> <br />included in additional alternative scenarios. Union Park, Thornton's <br /> <br /> <br />City-Farm Program, and the Public Service Company/Denver (Shoshone) <br /> <br /> <br />Agreement are but a few of the many other options that could be <br /> <br />included in additional scenarios, especially in the post-2010 period. <br /> <br />COMPARISON OF SCENARIOS <br /> <br />1.18 The impacts of each scenario were assessed at a level of detail <br /> <br /> <br />sufficient for comparison. This assessment was not intended to be <br /> <br />used for permit decisions on specific projects within a scenario. It <br /> <br /> <br />was used to evaluate the differences between some alternative long- <br /> <br /> <br />term plans for providing water to the Denver metropolitan area. <br /> <br />1-14 <br />
