The reservoir storage systems and related diversions to Sacramento River proposed under this plan 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. 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, exclusive of distribution systems, required for East Side Division is about $600,000,000. This 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 and construction of the facilities would be required. Two other facilities, the Delta Peripheral Canal and the Kellog Unit, also should be associated with this proposed plan for authorization as part of the Central Valley Project, with financial participation by the State and other agencies as appropriate. These facilities will offset, in particular, adverse effects which may occur to water supplies in the Delta area due to further water supply development in the Central Valley Basin and increased diversions from the Delta. The total capital costs of these features are estimated at $125,000,000, with annual OM&R costs, including pumping, of $1,200,000. 4Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 15,896,576 byte
