' ' ' ' ' ' , ' ' , 1 ' ' ' , ' ' ' ' Cost Estimate The estimated construction cost for the recommended plan for each of the system facilities is shown in Table 1. The cost estimates were derived from data provided by SCS except for the Summit Dam outlet repairs which were developed from data provided by contractors. T'he total estimated cost of the repairs/improvments over about the next 7 yeazs is $800,000. Designs for each facility will be prepared by SCS or Summit's engineer in order to obtain CWCB funding. Imalementation Schedule The repair of the Summit Dam outlet works must be completed first and in fact is expected to be finished by late Mazch, 1997. The scheduling of the other potential work will depend upon the needs of the system and the availability of funds for CWCB cost sharing. An estimated schedule of the yeazs when each of the major identified Items will be completed is shown in the right hand column of Table 1, the scheduled yeazs aze subject to change to best meet the needs of the Company. For each work item, Surrunit proposes to prepaze a plan that includes designs and costs, about 6 months prior to beginning construction, which would be the basis of contract arrangements with the CWCB. Summit will attempt to schedule the work in one yeaz blocks so that contract arrangements aze needed no more than once each calendar year; the funds will be requested in no less than $85,000 increments ($115,000 sub-projects) to minimize contracts. Social, Economic, and Phvsical Impacts The project will have no significant social impacts. The project will have a positive economic impact providing imgation water for 4,000 acres of shazeholders' crops. The project will have no significant physical impacts once construction is complete. Permittine Permitting is not expected to be required for most, if not all of the work; however, ROW may be required for facilities that aze not on the existing ROW such as the replacement of ditches with pipelines. Portions of the collection ditches aze on US Forest Service lands, but the ditches were constructed prior to the creation of the San Juan Forest so no approvals aze needed for operation and maintenance. None of the proposed activities aze expected to impact wetlands or stream channels that would require a Corp of Engineers 404 permit. . Approvals by the State Engineer for work on the dams will be required. Summit believes no Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be required because all of the work is at existing facilities.
