The equation is based on Boyle's <br /> <br /> <br />experience with various size agricultural pump stations which <br /> <br /> <br />include pump motor, pump structure, valves, surge control, and power <br /> <br /> <br />panel. The equation is: <br /> <br /> <br />Cost, $ = 2441 (GPM).4l + l50(HP)1.05 <br /> <br /> <br />where GPM is the system flow rate in gallons per minute and HP is the <br />gross horsepower. <br /> <br />D.3.3 Pipelines <br />The cost of pipelines is estimated based on experience in water <br />transmission pipeline work. The least cost type of pipe material <br />for the various diameters is reflected in the estimate. Pipeline <br />costs have been compared with pipeline cost estimates from the United <br />States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Dolores Project as well as the <br />Animas-La Plata Definite Plan Report. Installed estimated pipeline <br />costs are shown in Table D.l. <br /> <br />D.3.4 River Diversion Structures <br /> <br /> <br />River diversion structures were included for parcels over 30 acres. <br /> <br /> <br />The diversion structure would be constructed across the river to form <br /> <br /> <br />a pool of water with sufEicient depth for the pump to draw from. A <br /> <br /> <br />weir type diversion structure consists of a 4 foot high wall with a <br /> <br /> <br />footing and riprap on each side for stability and protection from ice <br />damage. The estimated cost of the structure is $210 per foot. The <br /> <br />5 <br />
