<br />o f.l2 J3 6 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />Systems of main drains would be installed in Carson Valley to alleviate <br /> <br />seeped conditions. <br /> <br />The project would increase the irrigation supply by 72,600 acre-feet <br />annua.lly and serve a total of 146,000 acres of land. These lands are <br />located in Truckee Meadows, Carson Valley, along the Carson River, and <br />on'the Newlands project. They would be furnished a supplemental supply <br /> <br />except for 5,100 acres in Carson Valley which would be furnished a full <br /> <br /> <br />supply. It would permit generation of 95,871,000 kilowatt-hours of <br /> <br />electrical energy annua.lly. Operation of the reservoirs would reduce <br /> <br />flood da.ma.ge in the area. The total construction cost of the Washoe <br /> <br />project is estimated at $41,558,000. This cost includes the cost of <br /> <br />all features mentioned as well as the cost of transmission systems <br /> <br />required to connect the two powerplants with existing facilities near <br /> <br />Reno and Carson City. It also includes costs of minimum basic recrea- <br /> <br />tiona.l facilities at the StamPede :Reservoir! Of the total construction <br />cost, $17,'91,000 would be allocated to irrigation and drainage, <br />$18,247,000 to power, $5,820,000 to flood control, a.tld $100,000 to <br /> <br />.. recreation. Irrigation and drainage payments up to the ability of, the <br /> <br />. 'j. <br />water u,sers to repay would be made for 50 years after sllltaible develop- <br />ment periods for various project lands and woUld totaJ.$8,180,000 over <br /> <br />the period. The power investment would be amortized in 50 yea.rs at 2.5 <br /> <br />percent interest. Intere,st paid to the Federal Trea:sury would amount <br />" <br />to $14,7~,000. Net Power revenues accruing for l' years after repayment <br /> <br />of the power investment would :f'ull~ repay the part of the irrigation and <br /> <br />drainage allocation 'I;leyond the repayment ability of the water users. !thus <br />power would pay $9,211,000' of the irrigation costs. The allocations to <br /> <br />flood control and recrea twn would be nonreimbursable. <br /> <br />, <br />
