\ \ , , ( Status: An increase in the Congressional appropriations ceiling is needed before construction can be completed. Diamond Fork is included in the CRSP PRS outside the rate- setting years. FY 1989 Power Repayment Responsibility: $64,149,000 d. Irrigation and Drainage (I&D) System. The I&D System will distribute irrigation water to the arid farmlands in central Utah. Almost all of the cost will be assigned to irrigation for repayment, and will be paid from CRSP power revenues. Status: Congressional funding is uncertain. Construction has not yet begun. The I&D System is included in the CRSP PRS outside the rate-setting years. FY 1989 Power Repayment Responsibility: $364,663,000 Total FY 1989 Power Repayment Responsibility: $956,138,000 E. Apportionment to the States. The CRSP Act credits each of the Upper Colorado River Basin states with a share of the net CRSP power revenues which are available annually after all annual expenses, required repayment of investment, and state-specific revenues have been credited to the states. Additionally, each state receives a share of all surplus M&I revenues available for participating project repayment, according to the ratios in the legislation. The surplus apportionment revenues are credited to the Basin Account and the credit is held in reserve until it is required to repay the cost of participating projects in each state. There is no actual cash distribution to a state. The CRSP PRS shows only the total revenue requirement to be met by the CRSP. The display of funds going to the individual states is handled by an off-line spreadsheet. The effect of revenue required for apportionment upon the total revenue requirements faced by the CRSP is dramatic, as shown in Appendix W. For example, if Colorado requires $1, that dollar must be 46 percent of the entire sum provided by the CRSP. To earn $1 for Colorado, the CRSP must provide $2.17 in total, to assure all of the states their assigned share of revenue. If $1 is required by Utah, however, the CRSP must provide $4.65 in all, to guarantee each state its share of revenue. VII.
