alternatives as discussed in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of this Plan of Study.
Each Plan Element which results in elimination of the Design Condition
deficit will be considered a single-element alternative.

Three criteria will be used in the plan Elements evaluation process:

o Yield - The net yield is defined for this study as the surplus or
deficit of available water s~pply. The net yield will be computed
at the lOO-year recurrence interval for the demand rate and supply
sources specified in the Design Conditions. In cases where more
than one level of Plan Element implementation is defined (such as
specifying various quantitie~ of additional CBT units acquired) the
yield will be computed for esch level.

o Cost - The total capitalized cost of each Plan Element (and the
costs of specified levels of implementation) will be computed based
on 1987 equivalent dollars. Costs to be considered include land
acquisition, design, construction, engineering, and operation and
maintenance costs.

o Social/Environmental Factors - The impact of each Plan Element in
relation to social and environmental issues will be defined.
Impacts to be considered include changes in land use; changes in
ingress and egress; and effects on vegetation, wildlife, and
fisheries.

These criteria will be evaluated in succession for each Plan Element, with
yield as the initial criteria. Those Elements which result in deficit
elimination will then be considered as potential alternatives and be
evaluated with respect to cost and social/environmental issues.

The evaluations of yield and cost will be quantitative, with specific
numeric values given for the Plan Ele~ents considered. The evaluations of
social and environmental factors will be qualitative, with impacts being
identified as specifically as possible. For example, when considering
various levels of additional reservoir storage capacity, two of the costs
to be considered would include road relocation and the purchase of private
property. Related to these two items would be social and environmental
impacts such as inconvenience to traffic, relocation of land owners, etc.;
these impacts would be expressed 'in terms of miles of roadway removed or
