Instead of designing individual lines of supply <br /> <br /> <br />to each of these remote parcels, a single line was sized to serve all <br /> <br /> <br />parcels. The per acre cost of this single transmission line was <br /> <br /> <br />compared to the residual preliminary payment capacity of each <br /> <br /> <br />parcel. <br /> <br />0.4.5 preliminary Practicably Irrigable Acreage Determination <br /> <br /> <br />Table 0.5 and Figures 0.1 through 0.3 identify the preliminary <br /> <br /> <br />practicably irrigable acreage for the San Juan West Watershed. A <br /> <br /> <br />total of 206 acres was identified as PIA with an estimated annual <br /> <br /> <br />water diversion of 626 acre-feet from the San Juan River. <br /> <br />In order to finalize the PIA determination, the cropping pattern and <br /> <br /> <br />net agricultural returns must be re-evaluated by the economist <br /> <br /> <br />(Wester Research Corporation) on a parcel-by-parcel basis and <br /> <br /> <br />adjusted to reflect individual parcel characteristics. It will <br /> <br /> <br />then be necessary to perform another engineering analysis comparing <br /> <br /> <br />the revised payment capacity with a revised off-farm irrigation <br /> <br /> <br />system and cost. <br /> <br />13 <br />
