Show 5. T. Costs of administration, legal fees, public relations expenditures, EIS preparations, costs of administraTTon reviews. U. Salinity Costs "Diversion of CUP water from the Colorado River will significantly raise the salinity of the water used by downstream farmers irrigating from the River. This rise in salinity has a measureable impact on the productivity of the irrigation water and the value of crops produced per unit of water. Thus, downstream farms are damaged at the cost of watering lawns and lighting distant metropolitan centers." * Additionally, added expenses will be required to meet Treaty obligations with Mexico on salinity. Both of these costs will occur on an annual basis. However, this yearly cost projected over an appropriate time period, shcould be converted to an equivalent one-time cost figure. V. Cost associated with loss of water (100,000 - 150,000 a f ) to downstream Colorado River municipal, industrial or agricultural uses. Again, since this cost occurs on a yearly basis, it should be calculated to a one-time cost figure. II. What is the actual cost per acre foot of water developed by the Strawberry River - Soldier Creek Transbasin Diversion System? This should be answered as Question I was answered, using the same costs, with an itemized answer. Obiously, most costs from Question I also apply to Question II. III. The recently released Economic Analysis of the CUP indicates that the basis on which the Bureau_of Reclamation calculates its cost/benefits and economic feasibility is not economically sound. In view of this, what is the cost/benefit ratio (with corrections suggested by the Economic Analysis of Professor Power) for - - the Bonneville Unit - the Jordanelle portion of the Bonneville Unit - the Transbasin Diversion (exclude pump back hydroelectric power system) - the irrigation portion of the Bonneville Unit - the irrigation portion of the Transbasin Diversion water ft Economic Analysis of the Bonneville Unit, Central Utah Project - Thomas Power, Department of Economics, University of Montana |
