Under this proposal the 1,200,000 acre-feet of additional water would be stored and conveyed to southern California at an estimated average annual equivalent cost of $54.87 per acre-foot, including interest at 3 percent and amortization of the facilities in 50 years. The average annual acre-foot cost given is computed by using only the incremental costs of enlargement of conveyance facilities. Appropriate allocation of costs between the East Side Division facilities and the proposed incremental enlargement under this plan may reflect some increase in this acre-foot value. Associated with this development would be the East Side Division which would provide 1,500,000 acre-feet of service to that area with its resulting multiple-purpose benefits. The estimated capital cost of the proposed facilities required for East Side Division is about $600,000,000, exclusive of distribution systems. The East Side Division is proposed for authorization, construction, and operation, as an integral part of the Central Valley Project. In order to accomplish the conveyance of the additional 1,200,000 acre-feet to southern California, concurrent authorization of the facilities would be required. The reservoir storage systems proposed on the Trinity River System under this plan (Helena and Eltapom) and related diversions to Sacramento River should be authorized for construction and operation by the Bureau of Reclamation as part of the Pacific Southwest Water Plan, even though they will be integrated closely with existing and proposed features of the Federal Central Valley Project. 3Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 14,403,584 byte
