I notch 15 1;eet by 40 feet. The outlet works will have a discharge capacity when the pool is at its maximum level of approximately 5,070 cubic feet per second and the outlet works are the portion of the project which will be con- structed first. I Next I would like to show you a slide which indicates the financial data. Again I trust that these figures will be reasonably consistent \'li th those which Mr. Saunders gave you. The estimated cost is $22 million approx- imately, with the federal share of about $15.3 million and the nonfederal about $6.7 million. The annual proration of this estimated cost over the life of the project is about $934,000. It may be of interest to know the way in which this money is e;~pected to be spent. About 17 percent of the cost will be attributable to lands and damages; about 30 to 35 percent for relocations; and then the actual physical facilities of the dams, roads, buildings and other facilities, in the vicinity of 45 to 40 percent. Annual estimated benefits for flood control about $610,000; for irrigation, and I too do not have a specific figure of the value of water per acre-foot, about $270,000; and a figure of about $130,000 for recreation, fish and wildlife. You will notice from a footnote on this slide, this is com- puted on the basis of appro;cimately 93,000 general visitations and then something in the vicinity of 25,000 fishermen days annually. It is entirely conceivable, as !1r. Saunders has indicated, that these figures would be conservative and that total dollar benefits to the area and to the state may considerably exceed these figures. Area redevelopment benefits that always give a lasting contribu- tion to the economic life of the community will be something on the order of $275,000. So the estimated annual benefits are nearly $1.3 million or about 1.4 times the estimated annual charges. May we have the next slide? the artist's concept of the dam. This presents You will see,
