<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CHAPTER III <br /> <br />!NITIAL DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />River to enhance the stream fishery below the plant and additional fluc- <br />tuating releaeee in excess of the minimum flows would be made for peaking <br />power production. <br /> <br />Estimated Costs <br /> <br />The estimated costs of the initial development are summarized below. <br />Estimates of construction costs are based on January 1963 prices and <br />annual operation, maintenance, and replacement costs are based on average <br />prices for the period 1960-62. Costs for the initial development were <br />estimated on the same basis as costs for the comprehensive plan discussed <br />in Chapter II except that lateral costs were estimated at $100 for each <br />acre of land served and coste of drains at $30 per acre. These costs are <br />smaller than the estimates used for the comprehensive plan as construction <br />of laterals and drains would be less complex in the Maybell-Sunbeam area <br />of the initial development than in other areas of the comprehensive plan. <br /> <br />Estimated costs <br /> <br />Annual <br />operation. <br />maintenance <br />and replace- <br />ment .costs <br />$9.000 <br /> <br />. .

Lesser areas occur in small. narrow entrant valleys and also on <br />narrow ridges between these valleys. <br /> <br />61 <br /> <br />
