investigation. Construction partly dependent upon excess power revenues Crom Upper Colorado River Basin Fund
after subsidizing authorized paricipating projects. Based upon U.S.B.R. repayment schedule and allowable develop-
ment period, some of these projects could be started immediately. The aggregate of the depIctions is a.ssumPd to
begin in 1970 and increase on straight line basis to full development in 1995. All are potential U.S.B.It. 11rojects.

The following table summarizes the estimates of the Bureau of Recla-
mation as to long time annual depletions by projects currently
proposed.
