Lyon Canal Co. water transfer study authorized by SB 92-87. GEC <br />in turn hired several specialists as subcontractors to assist in a multi,disciplinary study <br />of alternatives to traditional water transfer methods. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Members, CWCB <br />Steve Miller ~~ <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECf: <br /> <br />~ <br />c <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />The study was to be conducted in two phases. Phase I lead to a preliminary <br />report which included a general review of rural to urban transfer issues, an assessment <br />of future demands for Ft. Lyon water, description of the Ft. Lyon Canal system and <br />the surrounding communities dependent on the agricultural production under the <br />system, and a preliminary feasibility analysis of alternative transfer mechanisms that <br />might reduce the negative impacts associated with a large rural to urban water <br />transfer. Phase II will develop one or more of the feasible alternatives to the point <br />where the Ft. Lyon Canal Co. and/or its shareholders could implement the alternative <br />at such time as they elect. Phase I was to be completed by February 1 (later revised <br />to March 1) for possible transmission to the General Assembly. Due to a number of <br />factors beyond the control of GEC, Phase I will not be complete by March 1, and a <br />time extension has been granted to GEC to complete Phase I by April 5, 1993, to <br />coincide with the Board's April workshop. Discussion with the Board at the January <br />meeting indicated that this would not be a problem since the intent of the March 1 <br />delivery to the General Assembly was to demonstrate significant progress on the study, <br />rather than to provide it with particular substantive information. <br />
