If st~eam flows were too large to allow <br />installation of a tempo~a~y dive~sion, a low flow could most likely <br />be pumped without a diversion. <br /> <br />The be~m may ~equi~e regrading several times during the i~rigation <br />season. However, the ove~all cost of such diversions is minimal. <br /> <br /> <br />The decision on the type and size of diversion will vary with each <br /> <br /> <br />parcel and would require extensive ~eview in the field. Therefore, <br /> <br /> <br />in order to simplify the analysis it is assumed that no special <br />diversion structu~e will be requi~ed for pa~cels of 30 acres o~ less. <br /> <br />In cases where several parcels can be served from one diversion and <br /> <br />the combined acreage is ove~ 30 acres, the cost of the diversion is <br /> <br /> <br />divided between the pa~cels in proportion to parcel acreage. This <br /> <br /> <br />approach is believed to be conservative (in favor of gene~ating PIA) <br /> <br /> <br />and realistic fo~ this type of analysis. <br /> <br />D.3.5 Other Costs <br />Annual maintenance of major facilities including pipelines, pump <br />stations, and river diversions is estimated at 0.5 percent of the <br /> <br />initial construction cost. <br /> <br />The cost of electrical energy is assumed to be $O.068605/KWhr for the <br /> <br /> <br />Southern Ute area and $O.065039/KWh~ for the Mountain Ute a~ea. <br /> <br /> <br />These are commercial user rates being charged during the first half <br /> <br />7 <br />
