The increase in <br />annual benefits resulting from the increased salablc vlater supply <br />over the 50 year repayment pcriod may offset some of thc cost <br />differences ,bet\;een the t\'1O sites. Therc is no indication that <br />the Bureau has considered this possibility in their comparisons <br />of the two sites. <br /> <br />From the above comments, it can be seen that the Bureau has not <br />comprehensively evaluatcd the impact of the Narrows Project upon the water <br />resources of the South Platte River basin and I do not recommend approval <br />of this Draft until it is reviscd to address lit! COlllments. I ~lOuld be <br />most happy to consider additional information if requested by the Division <br />of Planning. <br /> <br /> <br />ruly yours, ~ <br /> <br />~ a./d <br /> <br />Dr. Jeris A.
