Representatives of the State of California <br /> <br />have expressed opposition to the permanent use of salvaged water for <br /> <br />reject stream replacement. It is their position that as water becomes <br /> <br />more scarce in the future the State may want to salvage that water <br /> <br />itself. <br /> <br />Cost <br /> <br />Original reconnaissance costs for constructing a new lined reach <br /> <br />between Pilot Knob and Drop 1 were developed in 1966 and have since <br />been indexed to January 1976 using canal indices in USBR Construction <br /> <br />Cost Trends to achieve the estimated investment cost of $35,720,000, <br />or an annual equivalent cost of $2,150,000 (see Table 2). <br /> <br />Benefits and costs do not include operation, maintenance, and <br /> <br />replacement costs, which have not been determined. Such costs for a <br /> <br />lined canal are usually less than for a comparable unlined canal. Any <br /> <br />savings in operation, maintenance, and replacement costs would <br /> <br />represent additional tangible benefits. <br /> <br />11 <br />
