J. \'Jilliam McDonald <br />Director, Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, r.0 80203 <br /> <br />Dear Mr, McDonald: <br /> <br />Enclosed for your information is a copy of the Concluding Report on the <br />"Front Range Unit, Coal Creek Water Studies, Colorado," dated December <br />1981, <br /> <br />These studies were undertaken to determine the economic justification <br />and engineering feasibility of developing a long-term solution to the <br />municipal and industrial water supply problems of the communities of <br />Superior, Louisville, Lafayette, and Erie. The Coal Creek Dam and <br />Reservoir site, selected as the reservoir storage alternative, has an <br />estimated construction cost of $63,505,000. <br /> <br />Based upon the determination that the communities to be served find the <br />Coal Creek Project to be financially unacceptable and that local support <br />is therefore lacking for project authorization, an analysis was not made <br />of the project's economic justification and financial feasibility. <br /> <br />It is our recommendation that the Coal Creek Water Studies be terminated, <br />and resumed only upon public acceptance of the repayment requirements. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />(jz.~ <br /> <br />Regional Director <br /> <br />Enclosure <br /> <br />~ <br />
