Assume that the project will be identical to that in Example I <br />except that it will prOVide no fish and wildlife benefits but <br />instead will damage fish and wildlife. <br /> <br />b. Assume that the project will provide, needed recreation benefits <br />and the lowest alternative cost of providing these benefits would <br />be $500,000. Specific recreation features would cost $loO,aOO. <br /> <br />'i <br />j <br />TI <br /> <br />",: <br /> <br />c. Assuce that the affected fish and wildlife resources are <br />needed in the area, that damage to them can be prevented, and, the <br />least costly remedial measures will amount to $100,000. <br /> <br />.:~J <br /> <br />d. Assume that a judgment decision indicates that the ,value of <br />the 6..ffected fish and wildlife is at least equal to the damage <br />prevention-cost of $100,000 and the damage prevention measures <br />are Justified. <br /> <br />e. The project cost of $16,000,000 would be increased to $16,100,000 <br />and, in the absence of fish and wildlife benefits, the total project <br />benefits would equal $17,500,000. The project benefit-coet ratio <br />would still'be 1.1 to 1.0. <br /> <br />:;..; <br />.\.; <br /> <br />.';:;1 <br />~,-..:1 <br /> <br />if.~ <br />J:.:;':,i <br />.i.~:,~ <br /><',:1 <br />...'.) <br />:?:r1 <br />':",,:1 <br />.,.:.f: <br />J}~~ <br /> <br />;~;,. .: <br /> <br />'~;q <br />':.</f; <br />.....:~.; <br />.:..-; <br />.,,:?,:'. <br />"Y~.;~ <br /> <br />f. USing the same methOd as in the previous examples, the cost <br />allocation would be computed as shown in Example III. <br /> <br />g. This of course could also apply to recreation. Example: An <br />existing recreation area which has facilities is flooded. The new <br />reservoir will have certain recreation values ,if facilities are <br />provided. 'However, the new recreation values are not greater than <br />the old but a substitute. In such a case the provision of recre- <br />ation would be in effect a prevention of damages or substitute or <br />replacement, the same as the exampie for fish and wildlife. <br /> <br />::';~ <br /> <br />'.....;c, <br />....:..:1 <br /> <br />;":..;! <br />':<';' <br /> <br />, , <br />" <br /> <br />7 <br />
