A.ProjectFeasibility.

In general terms, Granite Construction, Caterpillar equipment and other constructionprofessionals in California andMexico evaluated the project. As a group, they confirmed theprojectisfeasibleandcostestimatesarewithinindustrystandards.The Sea to Sea development team elected to hire constructionmanagers, projectmanagers,purchaseheavyequipment, retain industryexpertsandbuild theproject. If theproject isbidouttoexcavationcompanies,thecostwillincreasebyfiftypercent.Thegrouprecommendedtheheavyequipmentpackage,projectedfuelconsumptionbytypeofequipment,repaircosts,laborlevels,servicelevels,andestimatedcubicyardstoexcavatethe6canalprojects(2segmentsinCaliforniaand4segmentsintheLagunaSalada,135milesintotal).The concerns center on crossing five roads, one rail line, one gas line, onewater line, threeprivateroads,onemilitarybase,crossingonehundredlargedesertwashes,crossingundertwopower lines, obtaining the necessary environmental permits and project funding. The entirecanal path was inspected by truck and verified no obvious obstacles would block the canalproject were found.

B.WaterSourceIdentification.

a. The source of seawater is the existing Coyote Canal - Sea of Cortez seawater intake. Theoperating seawater intake is 200 feet wide, 15 feet deep connecting the Sea of Cortez viaseveral large natural channels. The tide change is 15 feet per twelve hours. The intake willsupply seawater to the existing Coyote canal and has no contact to the nature reserve. Theseawater intake is 25 miles from the Sea of Cortez shoreline with limited road access (4wdroads).

b. The seawater intake is part of the existing flood control system forMexicali and it is used to

divert brackishwater into the Laguna Salada for water storage. If brackishwater is available(storm - rainwater), thewaterwillbedelivered into theLagunaSaladagroundwaterholdingbasins.TheMexicangovernmentwillnotallowtheLagunaSaladatobefloodedwithseawaterasitchangestheexistingwaterqualityofthebasin.

E.SaltonSeaSalinity.

SeatoSeadevelopmentteamresearchedandconfirmedelevenconceptstoremovesaltfromtheSalton Sea, New River, Alamo River and/or the 1.0 MAF of imported seawater. The cost ofevaluationand/orpotentialjointventureswillrequire800hoursoftimeperprojectand$60,000toevaluateeachproject(Twostaff,twomonthslaboreachandtravelcost).The ultra-pure sea salt (brine) will be sold and the balance of the salt converted into powerproductionviasolargradientponds.Pleaseseemaponpage7.

F.WaterUse.

TheSea toSeadevelopment teams intention is to raise the lakeapproximately20 feet (-220)byimporting 2.0 MAF for three to five years. Once the lake is stabilized, the imported seawaterinflows will match evaporation and decreased flows from the New River and Alamo River tomaintainthedesiredlakelevel, includingtheuseofall formerboatramps(estimatedat1.4MAFand-220elevation).Lowering the salt levelof imported seawater,NewRiverorAlamoRiverwater isour strategy tolowertheentiresaltleveloftheSaltonSeafrom60,000TDSto45,000TDSovertime.
