The costs <br />presented above may be higher if there are third party impact costs. In addition, leasing <br />contracts need to be renewed on a periodic basis, in which case there may be additional <br />costs associated with permitting or re-negotiating leases. <br /> <br />o Third-Party Impact Considerations: <br /> <br />A leasing program can alter the timing and quantity of water in the river, in which case, <br />there are potential hydrologic and corresponding economic third party impacts on <br />downstream users, If water conserved is not protected from downstream diversion, there <br />would be third party hydrologic benefits. Additional flows under this scenario may allow <br />downstream junior water rights holders to make greater use of their water rights. <br />However, changing the timing and quantity of water could also result in negative <br />hydrologic impacts on downstream irrig~tors. Negative third party hydrologic impacts <br />from these alternatives are most likely to] occur to nearby farmers who have traditionally <br />relied on tail water runoff or groundwatel1 recharge from participating farms for a portion <br />of their water supply, <br /> <br />Apart from the potential third party hydrologic impacts identified above, there could also <br />be third party economic impacts on agricultural equipment suppliers, farm workers, <br />processing industries and local communities that depend on agriculture, The economy in <br />the study area is dependent on agricultur~ to a large degree in which case economic and <br />fiscal conditions could be negatively impacted by changes in crop patterns and crop <br />production. If water deliveries are signifiPantly reduced within an individual canal <br />company or irrigation district's service area, company or district revenues may be <br />negatively impacted. Depending on the conditions of the lease, if land is reclassified as <br />dryland it will have reduced value for tax purposes. A reduction in tax revenues would <br />be a negative fiscal impact. <br /> <br />C:\Draft Water AClion Plun (May 30, 2000)\wnp.: report (Version 6 BND2)~.doc <br /> <br />22 <br />
