Study participants will be <br />formally organized at this time. Prelim.nary contacts with <br />interested groups and individuals already have been made and <br />the organization will be based on these earlier contacts and <br />expressions of interest. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Collect and analyze data from existing geophysical explo- <br />ration activities. This will involve contacting Northwest <br />Pipeline Company and other corporate entities who have <br />conducted drilling activities in the project area to obtain <br />well logs and other information. . Additionally, the USGS will <br />be contacted to obtain information they have collected in <br />past studies concerning the basalt aquifer on Grand. Mesa. <br /> <br />Draft contract specifications for summer field work. <br /> <br />Obtain drilling permits from the State of Colorado and access <br />permits from the USFS arid private landowners. <br /> <br />freliminary municipal and industrial water demand analysis. <br />Population projections will be refined based on current. <br />demographic information and per capita use rates determined <br />utilized water entity records. Future industrial demands <br />will be determined on a case by case basis. <br /> <br />Preliminary distribution system analysis will be performed. <br />Existing water distribution systems will be studied for each <br />participating entity to determine junction points. This <br />distribution system information and hydro~power potential <br />analysis will be used to determine conveyance system routes. <br />Feasibility level designs and cost estimates will then be <br />made to determine cost effectiveness of the potential system. <br /> <br />Preliminary hydro-power analysis. This will involve benefit <br />cost analysis of alternative penstock alignments and regu- <br />lating reservoir configurations to optimize potential power <br />benefits. Western Area Power Administration will be con- <br />sulted to determine marketability and benefit values for <br />potential project power. <br /> <br />Contracts will be let for summer field work. <br />
