<br />. <br /> <br />3148 <br /> <br />Introduction and Summary <br /> <br /> <br />ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL EVALUATION <br /> <br />The results of Re.clamation's advanced planning studies show <br />that a conservation pool of 20,000 acre-feet plus the use of the <br />unsedimented portion of the joint use pool (e.stimated to average <br />19,500 acre-feet for the 75-year payout period) will provide <br />optimum regulation for the available irrigation water. Benefits <br />resulting from the water supply improvement amount to $270,440 <br />annually, and the. annual recommended water charges are $99,100. <br />Of this amount, $9,700 or $0.49 per irrigable acre will be used <br />for Federal OM&R expenses, and the remaining $89,400 or $4.54 per <br />acre, is the amortization capacity. This amount is sufficient to <br />amortize the project costs chargeable to irrigation during a payout <br />period of 75 years, of which the first 5 years will be the <br />development period. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />5 <br />
