Current construction cost, estimated from preliminary design information, is <br />$9,213,000. This estimate is subject to the affects of inflation, permit <br />and regulatory delays subsequent to the application for construction approvals, <br />and final design criteria established upon more extensive site investigations. <br /> <br />Estimated annual cost of operation, maintenance, safety inspections, etc. is <br /> <br />from $30,000 to $50,000. These costs are subject to the affects of inflation <br />and changing regulatory requirements. <br /> <br />, Construction of the reservoir facilities would be performed by a qualified <br />construction contractor, utilizing skilled craft personnel of the various <br />kinds required for earth handling and construction work. Opportunities for <br />employment of local residents would exist, although the number of workers, <br />distribution of craft categories, and duration of work cannot be determined <br />at this time, nor can the value of those materials and services obtained <br /> <br />-- -- --lo-callY-b-e-determi necr-aCtllisTime. <br /> <br />A portion of the operating and maintenance costs would be expended locally; <br />however, no estimate has been made. <br /> <br />1390 <br /> <br />2. Experience with similar reservoir structures indicates that with appropriate <br />operating and maintenance procedures, the reservoir would be expected to <br />function indefinitely. <br />
