<br />Cactus Park Reservoir.
<br />
<br />Another important feature is the proposed hydropower facility Revenues
<br />
<br />
<br />from the sale of power are intended to defray portions of the project cost.
<br />
<br />
<br />The addition of hydropower revenues transforms a marginally feasible
<br />
<br />
<br />agricultural project into a sound regional investment. The hydropower
<br />
<br />
<br />facility including forebay, penstock, and power plant will take advantage of
<br />
<br />
<br />almost 900 feet of vertical fall in a tributary drainage above Cactus Park
<br />
<br />
<br />Reservoir. A short canal will be required to convey water from the Cedar Mesa
<br />
<br />
<br />Ditch to the forebay reservoir. Project features are shown in Figure V-I
<br />
<br />
<br />(page ). Cost estimates for the Project are shown in the following table.
<br />
<br />
<br />Operation and maintenance costs have been estimated to total $130,000 per
<br />
<br />
<br />year. The annual repayment obligation will total approximately $1,400,000.
