<br />The total capital costs and annual operations and maintenance costs are summarized in
<br />the table below, Nebraska is reserving 50 percent of the yield associated with this project
<br />to offset future depletions, in which case only 50 percent of the cost of this project would
<br />be attributable to the Program. Fifty percent of the total capital costs and annual costs
<br />attributable to the Program were estimated to range from approximately $2,45 million to
<br />$4,61 million and $78,000 to $255,000, respectively,

<br />Potential costs associated with third party impacts have not been evaluated, The project
<br />costs presented above may be higher if there are third party impact costs.
<br />
<br />o Third-Party Impact Considerations:
<br />
<br />Potential third party impacts include positive and negative effects on the following:
<br />
<br />1, Hvdrologic conditions: Includes changes in streamflows, canal flows, and return
<br />flows both is terms of timing and quantity,
<br />2, Economic and fiscal conditions: Includes changes in income, employment, sales or
<br />expenditure patterns, tax revenues, related industries, and economic development.
<br />3, Environmental conditions: Includes changes in water quality and habitat areas,
<br />4, Social Conditions: Includes changes in recreational areas, visitations, and
<br />expenditures,
<br />
<br />There are potential negative economic and hydrologic third party impacts associated with
<br />this project due to changes in the quantity and timing of water. If the reservoir is filled by
<br />re-timing water already diverted under an existing water right there will be no additional
<br />diversions from the Platte River. Diversions to storage will decrease return flows at the
<br />J-2 Return and reduce available flows for new downstream water users in the future or
<br />potentially existing downstream users if they are not protected through the water rights
