Implementation Plan This does not include costs paid by non-Federal entities or other Federal programs cost sharing in the improvements for their own purposes. N w.:.. CD N Step 2 Adding the Annual Costs to the Annualized Costs: This includes all costs 'charged to the program on an annual basis. These may include the cQst of annual technical assistance, monitoring, education, wildlife replacement operation and maintenance (O&M), facility O&M, or paynumts for privatized salinity control. O&M costs should not inclu4,e costs paid by non-Federal entities or other Federal programs cost sharing in the operation for their own purposes, Step $ Dividing the Total Annual and Annualized Costs by the Average Tons Removed Per Year: The salt load reduction is expressed as an annual valueito match the annualized costs. The result is dollars per year/t;ons per year or dollars per ton, The salt load reduction is not the ~ghest possible reduction expected but is an average annual value! If fluctuations or potential shortfalls occur, these should be considered in the risk portion of the ranking process, The opjective of the program is to maintain the Colorado River Basin water: quality standards, To be effective at meeting this goal, salinity contrql projects must be located above all three of the gauging stations used to monitor compliance with the standards, The most upstream gauge is located just below Hoover Dam on the Nevada/Arizona border, Cost In4.exing.-If the planned costs for proposed projects are not in current dollar values, they will need to be indexed to one consistent level (usually January 1 of the preceding year), Minor :Qeplacement Costs.-Replacement costs are those expenditures needed fOr hardware replacement that occur during the nonnallife of a project, For example, sprinkler heads need to be replaced regularly to maintain: a center pivot's efficiency, In general, Reclamation does not wish to co~t to pay for these types of items because of the long-tenn uncertaiIi).tie;;; involved with appropriating funds. This type of item should be repladed at the owner's expense (considered cost sharing), In non- federallyifinanced projects, all of the project costs should be included in the fees paidibythe Government, including all operating, maintenance, and replacem,ent costs, Major I&placement Costs,-This is the replacement cost of the entire facility, For example, a canal lining may last 50 years before it needs to be 13 1 ~ " :'.'_h '} ",;~ ;2;,;,;;"",,~, ._
