<br />28 <br /> <br /> <br />002257 <br /> <br />). ':' <br /> <br />From Pearblossom Pumping Plant, a new conduit, with a capacity <br />of 2,000 c.f.s., would be constructed to Lake Havasu--a distance of <br />about 270 miles. Four power generating plants would be installed to <br />use the available head along this route. Two plants would have a <br />head of about 475 feet each; one would have a head of about 975 feet, <br />and the drop into Lake Havasu would be about 515 feet. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The capital cost of the conveyance from the California Aqueduct <br />at Pearblossom Pumping Plant to Lake Havasu is estimated at <br />$170,000,000, including the four powerplants. The annual operation, <br />maintenance, and replacement cost is estimated at $2,150,000. Approx- <br />imately 2,400,000,000 kilowatt-hours would be generated in the four <br />powerplants. The net cost of pumping between Wheeler Ridge Pumping <br />Plant and Lake Havasu is estimated at $9,850,000. <br /> <br />For conveying the 1,200,000 acre-feet of additional water, the <br />capital cost from the Delta to Lake Havasu is estimated to total <br />$420,000,000. Operation, maintenance, and replacement costs are <br />estimated at $4,075,000, and annual costs of pumping at $16,950,000. <br /> <br />The estimated total capital cost for this prospective plan, <br />including storage reservoir systems, incremental conveyance through <br />the East Side Division, and thence through a portion of the California <br />Aqueduct, and a new conduit to Lake Havasu is $1,020,000,000. The <br />net annual operation, maintenance, replacement, and pumping costs <br />are estimated to be $24,000,000. This plan would require concurrent <br />authorization of the ~equired incremental conveyance capacity and the <br />East Side Division, Central Valley Project. The storage systems used <br />in this plan, along with the other facilities, are included for <br />analysis purposes. An alternative storage development, more desirable <br />for meeting the requirements of other areas as well, may be developed <br />in the future. <br /> <br />. <br />
