<br />APPENDIX I <br /> <br />APPENDIX I <br /> <br />the district or the Bonneville Unit to provide water to help <br />maintain stream flows for Colorado Basin fish habitat by the time <br />the transbasin diversion facilities are complete. <br /> <br />Currently, the Bureau plans to fulfill these agreements <br />without using Bonneville water. However, if the deadlines are <br />not met, Bonneville Unit water could be used. Regional repayment <br />and economics officials have told us that this use would occur <br />only as a last resort. <br /> <br />The region has not performed cost allocation studies that <br />consider use of Bonneville water; however, at our request the <br />officials speculated about the potential effect. Because this <br />water development would take place in the basin east of the <br />wasatch Mountains, the irrigation water supply would probably be <br />reduced. In this case, the regional economist told us, some <br />costs would be reallocated to M&I; hence, the repayment <br />obligation required from the district would increase. In <br />addition, any use of Bonneville Unit water supply would reduce <br />both the power obtainable from the Diamond Fork power system and <br />the water available for transbasin use, thereby impairing the <br />economic value of the Bonneville Unit. <br /> <br />Barring the use of Bonneville water, regional officials do <br />not believe these agreements would affect reimbursable Bonneville <br />Unit costs. Costs to maintain stream flows would probably be <br />nonreimbursable, they told us, and the Ute Indian costs would be <br />borne by the Uintah Unit of the Central Utah Project. <br /> <br />12 <br />
