<br />OOLORADO RIVER STORAGEI PROJECT <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />The analysis also established certain key points of time and amount of required <br />irrigation assistance against which to compare the effect on the storage project of <br />the utilities proposal for transmission Une construction and wheeling of power.. <br />The construction schedule of the Vernal unit, central Utah project, establishes <br />the year 2015 at which time an amount of $'22,647,000 would be required ,for <br />distribution among the States for assisting the repayment of irrigation costs of <br />the participating proje,eta. The construction schedule for the Seedskadee project <br />establishes the yeaT 2027 and the amount of $283,078,000; the last block of the <br />central Utah project establishes the year 2049 and the amounts of $426,151,000 <br />as required irrigation ,assistance for presently authorized partioipating projects <br />and $952,234,000 as the total available assistance. Table 1 hereof shows the <br />key points both as to t~me and required assistance. <br /> <br />TABLE 1 <br /> <br /> i <br /> (1) (2) (3) (4) <br /> Yardstick <br /> s);l~~' Utility Util1ty Yardstick <br /> proposal proposal system <br /> analysis <br /> - - - <br />Rate for tlnn energy l______..________MilIs per killowatt hout__ 6.00 6.00 6.57 6.57 <br />Power allocatiou_ _ _ _ __ _ ___ __ _ _u. _ __ _. _ __~ __~ ____ __ thousands__ $671,906 $549,680 $54.9,680 $671,956 <br />Irrigation allocation ~_ _~___.___~---.h.-------------hh-do---- $90,4-78 $00,478 $00,4-78 $90,478 <br />Yoar of repayment for- <br />Powor aJlocatloll_ _ ____h_.__.h.____________________h_n_. 2Il07 2012 2Il02 2000 <br />Irrigation allocf\.tioll________hh.n____._____________.___n_ 2011 2017 2Il05 2Il03 <br />Years required for payout of- <br />1.7-~:~i~~O;R~~~ion::::=:=::.~:=:=:=::::=:=:==:::=:::::::::: 44 49 39 3.7 <br />48 " 42 40 <br />Irrigation nsslstnuco to S~ates: <br />By fiscal yoar 2016_ _..._.___._______._._.._._._thousands.. $131,326 a.to $239,387 $316,134 <br />By fiscal year 2027.________________n___________n___do____ $445,264 $212,878 $513,695 $727,2$4 <br />By fiscal YOR!' 2010_ ______~__'"_______________.________do____ $952,234 $590,854 $952,234 $1,295,216 <br />Re~i;egs:r~~~: ~~i~~~~:~~~~~~~~:~~~"~~~~~~~~~~_.__do____ $22,647 $22,647 $22,647 $22,647 <br />~; g~~g{ ~~~~: ~~i~::==:::=:::::=::=:=:=::=:::===::::=~6=::= $283,078 $283,078 $283,078 $283,078 <br />$426,101 $4-26,151 $426,151 $426,151 <br /> <br />1 Rates for llontlrm energy malntahwd at 2.50 mills per kilowatt-hour nnd for peaking capacity at $15 per. <br />kllowatt-year. <br />3 Tho cost of stornge units allocated to irrIgation, <br />a Actually thore is n doficiency at this point. <br />.

Physical <br />details of the utility propoaal were presented in the utilities' report of October 1, <br />1959, whioh is attachment No.1 in the appendix to the regional director's report. <br />In essence it provides that the utilities would construct all necessary transmission <br />lines with the exception of; the line or lines between Glen Canyon and Poncha <br />Junction, Colo.; from Flaming Gorg_e to Vernal, Utah, and to Oak Creek, Colo.; <br />and from Curecanti to Montrose and Gunnison, Colo. Wheeling rates offered.. <br />by the utilities are covered by the several letters in attachment No.4 of the <br />appendix to the regional dtrector's report. The wheeling proposals have been <br />considered as a package add averaged into a composite wheeling rate of 1.33 <br />mills per kilowatt-hour for the total estimated salable energy over the 86-year <br />period of the study. Computation of this rate is shown on page 33 of the regional <br />direotor's report. <br />Subsequently, by letter of November 101 1960, Pacific Power & Light Co. <br />has modified its proposal by offering a rate of 1 mill per kilowatt-hour for wheeling <br />from Flaming GorKe to Pilot Butte. This modification would eliminate the <br />wheeling charge of 1 mill pel' ldlowatt-hour assumed to be paid to Southern Wyo- <br />ming Utilities Co. The effe~t of this l'eduction on the Bureau's analysis would <br />be negligible, as it Amounts to about 2 percent of the total wheeling costs. <br />
