<br />SUMMARY (Continued) <br /> <br />'?:;S~~ <br />. .' <br /> <br />The C08t allocation 8nd repayment plan was based on the m1n1mum <br />guidelines established by Public Law 93-320 and its amendment, Public <br />Law 98-569, as shown in the table below. The actual repayment of reim- <br />bursable costs between the basin funds would be determined by the legis- <br />lation authorizing con8truction of the unit. <br /> <br />Item <br />Capital costs to be allocated <br />Construction costs <br />Less investigation costs <br />Total <br />Nonreimbur8able (70 percent) <br />Reimbursable (30 percent) <br />Repayment of reimbursable C08ts <br />Lower Colorado River Basin Development Fund <br />(85 percent) <br />Upper Colorado River Basin Fund (15 percent) <br />Annual payments requiredl/ <br />Total increase in annual OM&R costs for unit <br />Le8S annual wildlife mitigation OM&R C08tS to be <br />paid by the Bureau of Land Management <br />Annual increase in OM&R costs for canals and later8l~/ <br />Nonreimbursable (70 percent)l/ <br />Reimbursable (30 percent) <br />Repayment of reimbursable annual OM&R costs <br />Lower Colorado River Basin Development Fund <br />(85 percent) <br />Upper Colorado River Basin Fund (15 percent) <br />1/ Based on 50 years with interest at 12.375 percent. <br />2/ Annual OM&R costs in excess of normal incurred. <br />II Amount to be appropriated each year from Congress. <br /> <br />Cost allocation and repayment <br /> <br />Amount <br /> <br />$26,252,000 <br />-2,500,000 <br />23,752,000 <br />16,626,000 <br />7,126,000 <br /> <br />6,057,000 <br />1,069,000 <br />132,700 <br />165,100 <br /> <br />7,300 <br />157,800 <br />110,500 <br />47, 300 <br /> <br />40,200 <br />7,100 <br /> <br />No-action alternative <br /> <br />Under the no-action alternative, no salinity control project would <br />be constructed in the Uinta Basin Unit area by the Bureau of Reclamation. <br />This alternative is discussed to identify future conditions in the Uinta <br />Basin without the project. Since the Bonneville and Upalco Units of <br />the Central Utah Project and the Soil Conservation Service/Agricultural <br />Stabilization and Conservation Service Uinta Basin Programs are currently <br />under construction, their full operations are considered part of the <br />existing condition and their salinity effects are assumed to continue <br />into the no-action alternative condition. These future conditions serve <br />as a basis for determining the effects of the recommended plan. <br /> <br />A hi8torical trend in salt loading from the Uinta Basin to the Colo- <br />rado River is difficult to determine because salinity concentrations gen- <br />erally decrease with increased river flow and increase during low flow <br />years. Historical records of the Duchesne River at the Randlett gauging <br />station support neither an increasing nor a decreasing trend in salt <br />loading. Consequently, it is assumed that despite yearly fluctuations, <br /> <br />S-9 <br /> <br />OUC'~L 4 <br />
