The projects in Figure I are planned for completion five <br />years before the actual date that CSU is required to have additional conveyance capacity, <br /> <br />The Southern Delivery System Project provides a total of approximately 69,000 acre-feet <br />of firm yield per year. The project consists of several components: <br />. 63 MOD delivery pipeline <br />. Storage space in the Fry-Ark System <br />. Jimmy Camp Creek WTP <br />. Jimmy Camp Creek Reservoir <br />. Williams Creek Reservoir <br /> <br />The required storage for the Southern Delivery System in the Fry-Ark project is 45,000 <br />acre-feet. This storage amount includes 10,000 acre feet in the upper system (Turquoise <br />and Twin Lakes Reservoirs) for Otero Expansion or for delivery to Southern Delivery <br />System and 35,000 acre feet in Pueblo Reservoir specifically for delivery to the Southern <br />Delivery System, Previous studies conducted by CSU identified the storage requirement <br />to be 42,000 acre-feet with 16,000 acre-feet in the Upper System and 26,000 acre-feet in <br />Pueblo Reservoir. <br /> <br />CSU is currently working with the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District <br />(SECWCD) and other lIsers in the Arkansas River Basin to evaluate alternatives to obtain <br />additional storage capacity in the Arkansas River Basin. This basin wide effort is known <br />as the SECWCD Future Water and Storage Needs Assessment Project. The SECWCD <br />Storage Study Committee is investigating district wide storage requirements and <br />alternative methods of acquiring additional storage space in the Arkansas River Basin for <br />water users in the District including CSU, The SECWCD will investigate opportunities <br />to manage existing storage and acquiring additional storage facilities, As a part of the <br />SECWCD storage study investigations this decision support system can be utilized to <br />investigate storage requirements of other water users, <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />ES-4 <br /> <br />CSU Operations and Yield Model <br />
