4. Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District
5. Platte River Whooping Crane Habitat Maintenance Trust Fund. Inc.

The UNL Center for Infrastructure Research will support up to ten percent of the
budget, and the UNL Water Center has indicated positive support.

Total project cost is estimated at about $80,000 for the eighteen-month project. An
equal-share cost to each agency would be less than $14,400. A preliminary budget and a
brief resume of the Principal Investigator follow.
