<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />used primarily for municipal and industrial and domestic water and <br />not for irrigation. The irrigation would be taken care of out of <br />the Dallas Divide plant on Log Hill Mesa. Being operated as a year- <br />round operation for M&I water, we will not have the heavy summer <br />dra,,,down we would have with irrigation in the reservoir. Therefore, <br />it should be very attractive from a recreational and fishing stand- <br />point. During the best recreational season, from Memorial Day to <br />the 1st of September, it would be essentially full. <br /> <br />Mr. Cornelius: Robie, could I ask a question? What acreage is good <br />agricultural land under this Alkali site? DO you know? <br /> <br />Mr. Robins: Yes. You want to go back two slides, Ed. You will note <br />at the Alkali site - I thought I had those acreages on here. <br /> <br />Mr. Ford: Five hundred acres of irrigated land. <br /> <br />Mr. Robins: It can accommodate 500 acres of irrigated land. This <br />other one up here, the original one we had, could accommodate 2,000 <br />acres of irrigated land. <br /> <br />(Slide) The present cost estimates indicate that this project is going <br />to cost around $55,000,000. It is higher than the old plan, primarily <br />because of increased construction costs. At the present time, we have <br />$240,000 to complete our definite plan report, including our environ- <br />mental impact statement. Now, we have a write-in for an additional <br />$250,000. However, it is earmarked for a right-of-way. So we hope <br />to get our definite plan report and everything cleared up along in <br />February or March. We would start then negotiations on our repayment <br />contract and start preparing designs and specifications from our <br />planning funds. Then we would start purchasing rights-of-way. We <br />will have to rely on money next year for final right-of-way purchase <br />before we can start construction on the dam itself. However, it will <br />be a significant start if we get right-of-way money this year. We <br />are unofficially requesting about three to four million dollars to <br />continue construction next year. Whether we can get that, we don't <br />know. <br /> <br />That pretty well covers my part of the presentation on projects in my <br />area. I will turn it over to Ed for the other part. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Could we ask questions here, Robie? <br /> <br />Mr. Robins: Yes, now or when Ed gets through, either one of us. <br /> <br />-12- <br />
