dissolved solids will average less than 200 parts per million. In addition, the channel will provide maximum protection to the large resident and anadromous fisheries that use the present Delta channels. The estimated capital cost of the Delta Peripheral Canal is $70,000,000, with an annual OM&R cost, including power, of $800,000. This facility should be authorized for Federal construction, with appropriate financial participation by the State of California. Further development of water in the Central Valley Basin and increased diversions from the Delta, either for use in southern California or within the Central Valley, also expands the urgency for the Kellog Unit to offset adverse effects which may occur to water supplies relied upon by Contra Costa County. These facilities are proposed as an integral part of the Central Valley Project principally for water quality improvement, although other multiple-purpose functions would be served, for the urbanized and highly industrialized Contra Costa County. This area now is being served in part by the Central Valley Project. This proposed unit also would provide operational flexibility for the Central Valley Project through integration with operations of Tracy Pumping Plant and the proposed Delta Peripheral Canal. The estimated capital cost of this proposed unit is $55,000,000, with an annual OM&R cost of $285,000. In addition, an annual pumping cost of $120,000 is estimated. 6Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 15,953,920 byte
