All of the class 4 <br />lands >!ere determined, upon analysis, to have payment capacity sufficient <br />to meet estimated costs for operation, maintenance, and replacement of <br />project works. The irrigable land acreages for which a water supply would <br />be provided are summarized below and are shown on tbe map on page 5. <br /> <br /> Irrigable area <br /> (Unit--acres) <br /> Cattle <br /> Creek Carbondale Sopris <br /> a..r.ea area area Total <br />Supplemental service land <br />Class 1 30 45 0 75 <br />Class 2 4,052 637 400 5,089 <br />Class 3 453 29 0 482 <br />Clas s 4p h53 28 0 1+81 <br /> Subtotal 4,988 739 )jOO 6,12"( <br />Full service land r-- <br />Class 1 10 ~ 0 13 <br /> J <br />Class 2 5,061 372 485 5,918 <br />Class 3 3 ,,{98 417 0 4,215 <br />Class 4p 3,728 418 0 4,216 <br /> Subtotal 12 (-"I' 1,210 1,.85 14,~.2g, <br /> ~.;..'::.'.~.. <br /> Total 17 i<;ir 1,91.9 8Wj 20,489 <br /> .
