<br />ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL ANALYSES
<br />
<br />Costs
<br />As previously reported, t.he estimated project costs of Ruedi Dam
<br />and. Reservoir, based 011 .J nnuary 195H prices, amount to $12,831,000.
<br />Of this total, $7,600,000 is assignable to t.he Fryingpan-Arkansas
<br />project in conformance wit.h the revised operating principles for t~1Ut
<br />project. The assignment of costs to t.he Fryingpun-Arkansas 'proJect
<br />represents approxllnately 00 percent of the dam and reservOIr costs
<br />($12,770,000) exclusi,-e of $55,000 estimated for recreational facilities.
<br />Interest during construction 011 the dam and reservoir is $664,000.
<br />Distribut.ing this sum by the, same, percentage used for project costs,
<br />$398,400 is assignable to the Fryingpan-Arkansas project and $205,000
<br />to westerI1~slope uses of Ruedi R.eservoir.
<br />Totnlllnnual operation, mainteI1aIlCe, and replacement cost.s amount
<br />to $lU,700 with $9,200 on the dam and reservoir proper and $10,500
<br />on recreational facilities. The latter portion is associated directly
<br />wit,h public use of the reservoir. The first portion of $~,200, therefore,
<br />is subject to allocation. The reyised operating principles provide that
<br />t.he operation, maintenance. and replacement costs of Ruedi Reservoir
<br />he borne by users of Fl'yingpan-Arkansas project water and users oT
<br />Ruedi water in such proportion as may be determined by the Secretary
<br />of the Interior. Assuming this determination ".ill reflect. the same
<br />pro rata distribution involved in project costs, 00 percent of the dam
<br />and reservoir operat.ion, maintenance, find replacement, or $5,;)00,
<br />would be assigned to the Fryingpan-Arkansas project and $3,700 to
<br />users of Ruedi Reservoir water.

<br />All of the elements of cost of Ruedi Dam and Reservoir allocable to
<br />the Fryingpan-Arksansas project, "ill be included in studies of eco-
<br />nomic justification and feasibility for that project. Analyses in this
<br />report, therefore, will deal essentially with those costs which are
<br />assigned to western-slope uses of water from Ruedi Reservoir.
<br />
<br />Benefits
<br />Under the tentative plan of operat.ion of Ruedi Reser\'Oir, tangible
<br />benefits from west.ern-slope water uses will accure from future mu-
<br />llicipal and industrial water supply and the associated functions of
<br />flood control, fish and wildlife, and recreation.
