were sent. t.o you on December 30, 1962 uy Jack UarncLt. J.n
his memorandum of January 14, 1983, Jack iuentified four
major issues which may require analy~is anel I?olicy decisions
by t.he Forum. Jack and I discussed the four issues anel it
was agreeel that I would analyze the I?roposed changes in
cost sharing requested by the Administration.

Jack has askeel Int.erior and .'I.gri.:ulture for additional
information on this item. I decieled to senel this ~eQoranelum
anel we will forw~rel an1 other information as soon as we re-
. ceive it.'

. Background

The thrust of t.he statements maele by InteL'ior \'lit.:' ce-
spect to cost sharing is to retain the 7S perc~nt fed~:al
anel 2S percent non-federal cost sharing for the C:lnl.ir~
salinity control progr~m, but to have tho non-federal ~:'are
either paiel as ul?-S:ront S:inancing or to be paid over S~ yeacs
with interest at the average federal long-term inte~est cost.
The iml?act of these alternatives was analyzed using infor-
mation developed by the salt routing model used for t~e Forum
salinity projections, assu:ninq a long term de('endable -:ield
of 14 million acre-feet per year anel a continuation of the
low rate of basin development. Based on t.his analysis, the
full impact on the River's salinity of upstream develo~;ne"t
would occur in the year 2020.

The t.hree authorizeel :.alinity control uniLs, Crand Valle".
ParadolC Valley and Las Vegas \"lash, are I?roject.ed to rO".10ve -
about 660,000 tons annually. In order to maintain th~ Dumari:
criteria, an additional 1.4 million tons of ~a1t. mu~t be pre-
vented from entering tl1e river system.
