The additional fDIlding wau1d bring CWCB's funding to 50% of the total project costS, <br />These inereascd costs result from several llIClDrs Usted below: <br /> <br />1. Addition of a 10,200 foot tunnel to avoid the worst sectioD of PlateaD Creek. This <br />reduces the enviroDIlleDtal im:Dacts of the project. The tIlDDel will also make <br />""';"""""(;0 easier and should add additional !i1i: to the Pipeline. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2, <br /> <br />Delays in biddin& the project, caused by the IODg pennitting process, has caused <br />subSlaIl1ial increases in COllStIl1aion costs. <br /> <br />3.
