A number of parcels in the La Plata watershed had an initial positive
residual payment capacity even though the distance to the river was
considerable. Instead of designing individual lines of supply to
each of these parcels, a single line was sized to serve all parcels.

The per acre cost of this single transmission line was compared to the

residual preliminary payment capacity of each parcel. The analysis
for both parcels near and away from the river showed that no parcels

had a remaining positive payment capacity.

0.4.5 preliminary Practicably Irrigable Acreage Determination
Table 0.6 and Figures 0.1 through 0.4 identify the preliminary
,
practicably irrigableacreage .for- .the .LaPlata watershed. The
preliminary PIA consists only of that acreage currently irrigated.
A total of 151 acres was identified as PIA in the La Plata Watershed.
The estimated annual water diversions would be 382 acre-feet from the

La Plata River.
