Recreation Benefits Basic recreation facilities are defined as those developments constructed to assure access to and safe use of the reservoir by the general public. The unit values per recreation day set forth in this report are intended to measure the amount that it is assumed users would be willing to pay, to avail themselves of these basic recreation facilities, if such payment were required. Recreation users could not be expected to pay a use fee on a reservoir on which basic facilities are nonexistent. For .this reason benefits are related to construction of the basic recreation facilities recommended in this report. The monetary unit value for project recreation benefits was set at $1.50 per visitor day for general recreation use. The annual recreation benefit ($49,500) for Long Draw reservoir was found by multiplying the unit value per visitor day ($1.50) by the number of visitor days expected annually (33,000). 1/ This cost will be provided out of the normal Forest Service budget and is included only for illustrative purposes.
