<br />APPENDIX I <br /> <br />APPENDIX I <br /> <br />INFORMATION ON REPAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS FOR <br /> <br />THE BONNEVILLE UNIT OF THE <br /> <br />CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation <br />undertook construction of the Central Utah Project as part of the <br />Colorado River Storage project authorized by a 1956 law. The <br />central Utah Project consists of six units--Jensen, Vernal, <br />uintah, Upalco, Ute Indian, and Bonneville. The Bonneville <br />Unit--the largest of the six--develops water resources in two <br />basins on either side of the Wasatch Mountains. The unit will <br />divert water from the eastern side via a tunnel through the <br />Wasatch Mountains into the Bonneville Basin. <br /> <br />! <br />J <br /> <br />The Bonneville Unit is to provide 176,600 kilowatts of <br />electricity and an annual water supply of 288,000 acre-feet'-- <br />167,000 acre-feet of irrigation water and 121,000 acre-feet of <br />municipal and industrial (M&I) water. The unit is made up of <br />five systems: a collection system, water system development for <br />the Ute Indians, an M&I system, a power system, and an irrigation <br />and drainage system. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />f <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />construction on the Bonneville unit began in 1966 and was <br />scheduled for completion in the early 1980's. However, a <br />lengthened construction period, design refinements, and budgetary <br />constraints have delayed the unit's completion. Currently, it is <br />about one-third finished; completion is expected in 1996. <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />C <br />J <br />~ <br />~ <br />, <br />~ <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Q <br />P <br />l <br />) <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />;~ <br /> <br />'.1. <br />I~ <br /> <br />,'.' <br />:',1 <br /> <br />I <br />, <br /> <br />'An acre-foot is 325,851 gallons, or the amount of water needed <br />to submerge 1 acre of land under 1 foot of water. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />.1 <br />~ <br />~ <br />I <br />
