<br />SYNOPSIS <br /> <br />Comparison of Benefit s and Costs <br /> <br />Tangible benefits of the initial phase resulting from Federal <br />e:J(penditures would compare with the attendant Federal costs in a ratio <br />of 1.2 to 1.0. Both benefits and costs were estimated as annual equiv- <br />alents over a 100-year period, the anticipated minimum useful life of <br />the pro ject. <br /> <br />Tangible benefit s from the initial pha se are expected to have a <br />total annual value of $8,186,000. This value includes $5,473,000 that <br />would be realized as a direct result of the project and ~2,713,000 that <br />would be realized indirectly as a result of the project's stimulation <br />on business and industry. Numerous other benefit s not subj ect to effec- <br />tive evaluation in monetary terms would: result from the project. The <br />estimated tangible benefits are listed below. <br /> <br />Annual direct tangible benefit s <br /> <br />Irrigation <br />Power production <br />Municipal water <br />Flood control <br />Recreation <br />Fish and wildlifell <br />Forest resources' development <br />Sedimentation control <br />Subtotal--direct benefit s <br /> <br />:U>1,800,000 <br />1,976,000 <br />1,228,000 <br />40,000 <br />256,000 <br />o <br />171,000 <br />2.000 <br />\1>5,473,000 <br /> <br />Annual indirect tangible benefits <br /> <br />Irrigation <br />Power production <br />Subtotal--indirect benefits <br />Total tangible benefit s <br /> <br />$1,430,000 <br />1.283.000 <br />$2 . 71~ . 000 <br />$8,18 ,000 <br /> <br />Y Estimated for comparative purposes only and Slbject to revision <br />by Fish and Wildlife Service. <br /> <br />The annual equivalent costs are estiuated at $6,724,000.
