. I" <'j;~"~ OJ""'.' 8 Recommendation"No. I. No cost problem. Recommendation No.2. From our understanding of the project opera- ation, there probably is no cost problem. Recommendation No.3. We understand that the NatIonal Park Service recommends a recreation area below Narrows Reservoir Dam. Thus, the access can be provided at no addItional cost and the annual benefit of $6,000 would be realized IncIdentally. On the other hand, If there Is to be no recreation area, access easements would be re- quired to realIze the benefit. What the cost of such easements might be has not to date been ascertained by our Bureau.. Recommendation No.4. An estimated cost of $125,000 to rehabilitate Jackson Reservoir Dam would serve both general recreation (boatIng, swil1l1llng, pIcnicking, et cetera) and fish and wildlife (fIshing), The annual fishing benefits accruing from such rehabilitation are estimated at $15,000. For purposes of allocatIon, the cost of $125,000 can be divIded equally between the functIon of general recreatIon and the functIon of fish and wildlife. ThIs total cost, however, would be cost shared equally by the Federal Government and the Colorado Department of Game, Fish and Parks. . The annual 0, M, & R of $18,000 for Jackson ReservoIr Dam and re- lated words would be borne by the Colorado Department of Game, FIsh and Pa rks. Recommendation No.5. As IndIcated In Table 2, the estimated cost of acquiring sufficIent land and developing It amounts to a capital cost of $2,935,000, with an annual OH&R of $37,000. As noted earlier, the wildlife management area Is expected to miti- gate wildlife losses as well as produce benefits. Since the same land and the same development do both, It seems only proper to Identify the portion of the total cost that should be attributed to mitigation and the portion to be attrIbuted to enhancement. Our estimates Indicate that 47.3 percent of the total cost of $2,935,000 or $1,388,000 should be attributed to mitigation and thus be Included with joint costs, and that 52.7 percent or $1,547,000 should be attributed to enhancement. Of this $1,547,000, 41.6 percent or $643,600 should be nonreimbursable (producing water- fowl use benefits of national significance in the amount of $30,600), and $903,400 should be cost shared (producing upland-game hunting benefits of $4,500; waterfowl huntIng benefits of $27,000, and wildlife-oriented recreation benefits of $11,500). .
