About 91 percent of the total <br />installation cost is federal. <br /> <br />Costs of the Suggested Upstream Structural Measures <br />for Flood Prevention <br /> <br />Costs <br />Measures 1966-1980 1981-2000 2001-2020 <br />Installation Cost ($1,000) <br />Levees and Channels 54,351 103,690 46,849 <br />Flood Control Reservoirs 98,337 57,666 31,890 <br />Total 152,688 161,356 78,739 <br />Annual OM&R Costs ($1,000) <br />Levees and Channels 151 249 188 <br />Floofr Control Reservoirs 445 269 190 <br />Total 596 518 378 <br /> <br />The program would be effective in reduction of upstream floodwater <br />and sediment damages. Average annual damages would be reduced from <br />about $228 million (without the program) in 2020 to about $55 million <br />with the suggested program. A high intenSity use area of about 1.7 <br />million acres would be provided protection. There would also be <br />opportunities for multiple use of the structural sites. <br /> <br />vii <br /> <br />I <br />, , <br />" I <br />, ' <br /> <br />;, : <br />, <br />\, ' <br />n <br />" <br />j <br />I' <br /> <br />1: <br /> <br />ii <br /> <br />I <br />,. <br />, <br />i <br />I <br />t.; <br />~t <br /> <br />
