the interest-bearing power investment and make the aid to

irrigation payments within their established repayment periods.

These annual payments are treated as an operating expense by

the P-S MBP. Remaining revenues are appLied to repayment of

each function's investment. In the case of commercial power,

costs of each unit, division, or separable feature thereof

allocated to commercial power were repaid with interest on

the unpaid balance in the least possible time and in no case

exceeding 50 years from the date when the unit, division, or

separable feature became revenue-producing. After repayment

of these investments, surplus revenues would be utilized to

assist in the repayment of P-S MBP costs allocated to irrigation.

Costs of P-S MBP irrigation units beyond the water user's

ability to repay (including main-stem reservoir storage and

irrigation pumping power cost assignments if applicable)

constructed or under construction on June 30, 1964, were

returned within the earliest practical time period by use of

power and M&I revenues as available. These irrigation costs

were fully repaid in the study with net power and municipal

and industrial water revenues before any such revenues were

used to repay costs relating to other new irrigation units.

Future irrigation units, divisions, or irrigation blocks were

scheduled for development in such a manner that sufficient

power and M&I revenues would be available to return the costs
