CSU Technical and Envtronmental Studies Proposal

I

6.5 Technical Report. .\ Water Quality Studies
Technical Report describing existing water
quality data sources, baseline water quality
conditions, water quality impacts of storage
alternatives, and potential water quality
impact fatal flaws will be prepared. The repon
also will identify data collection programs,
field investigations, and water quality analyses
that will likely be required during or prior to
preparation of the future ElS,

Task 6 - Products
. Draft and Final Water Quality Studies
Technical Report

Task 7 - Project Management and
Coordination
The objective of this task is to provide for project
management, facilitation, and quality control!
quality assurance throughout the project.

7.1 Project Management, Facilitation, and
Coordination. The overall project
management of the technical and
environmental studies will be provided by the
Montgomery Watson project manager. This
will include facilitation of technical teams of
CSU staff, which may study various issues as
necessary. The project manager will provide
overall coordination of the kick-off meeting
and scoping as well as the technical and
environmental studies. Monthly status
meetings will be held with the CSU project
manager, Minutes of meetings to record the
decision making process, decisions made, and
their rationale will also be prepared,
7.2 Quality Control/Quality Assurance. The
l'vIW /BV team will utilize the expertise of
senior principal-level professionals as
Technical Advisors. These advisors will
provide important input to the project
manager and task leaders at milestone points,
review of reports and other project
deliverables, and general availability to
answer technical questions throughout the
course of the project. The project manger is

~~

responsible for incorporating comments
teceived from and tesponding to technical
questions posed by the Technical Advisors.

Task 8 - Alternatives Evaluation
The objective of this task, which is in addition to
the Technical Reports described in the RFP, is to
bring together the findings of the various
Technical Reports by evaluating each storage
alternative accotding to specified engineering and
environmental criteria. The result will be an
update of previous alternative comparisons based
on current information and incorporating the
findings of the new environmental assessments,
as well as definition of aily new alternatives
resulting from the environmental investigations.

8.1 Alternative Reformulation. If the
engineering and environmental studies result
in the need to modify or reformulate
alternatives to avoid fatal flaw impacts, the
modified alternatives will be described to the
level of detail necessary for future
environmental permitting studies. In addition,
any new alternatives arising from the study
process will be defined and described.
8.2 Alternative Evaluation. A Criterium
Decision Plus model for evaluating trade-offs
between the CSU storage alternatives will be
developed. The project team will conduct an
alternatives evaluation workshop with the
consultants and CSU staff where evaluation
criteria will be defined and alternatives will be
ranked and compared. Criterium Decision
Plus will be used in an interactive format to
investigate tradeoffs between alternatives and
sensitivity of various project components and
impact categories, The result will be an
update of alternative evaluations in previous
studies based on a common set of criteria and
current conditions.
