.1086 Municipal and Industrial Water Supply Flood Control Fish and Wildlife Recreation $ 5,939,000 4,359,000 4,518,000 304.000 '$15,120,000 I Average annual costs for a 50 year period of analy- sis are estimted to be $695,500. Average annual direct bene- fits are estimated to amount to $1,443,500. On this basis the benefit-cost ratio would be 2.08 to 1. The only reimbursable costs would be those allocated to municipal and industrial water supply. It is contemplated that repayment would be accomplished under a contract which would insure the return of such costs to the United States with appropriate interest over a 50 year period. Based on the scheduled deliveries proposed by the City of Wichita, the average unit cost of raw water at the reservoir would be about 1.9 cents per 1,000 gallons or $6.19 per acre'foot. A pumping plant, pipeline and pre-treatment works would be required for the delivery and use of the reservoir water in the city. These facilities would not be a part of the Federal project and would be separately financed by the City of Wichita. The headwaters of the Ninnescah River are in the Southcentra1 portion of the State of Kansas. This river enters the Arkansas River a short distance above the Kansas- Ok1ahoma.State line. The project water involved is not included in any water which has been allocated between Colo- rado and Kansas by the Arkansas River Compact. It would appear that Colorado's comments should indicate no objection to this proposed project, along with such other views as may be deemed suitable by the Board. MR. CHRISTY: "I move we adopt Mr. Gildersleeve's recommendations on Colorado's comments on the Cheney Project in Kansas." MR. W.M.WILLIAMS: "I second the motion." MR. SPARKS: "You will find included in your folders a copy of the so-called "Wilderness Bill". We have been beseiged by requests I The motion was unanimously passed.
