This book was released on 1981 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal water project repayment policies and practices do not ensure fair and timely cost recovery from project water users when water supply or storage space in Federal reservoirs is not sold or fully utilized. Because about 15 million acre-feet of available water or storage space in Bureau of Reclamation and Corps of Engineers reservoirs has not been sold, the Government has absorbed substantial costs associated with the underutilized reservoirs. This report is recommending changes in agency policies which should result in greater cost recovery from water users who receive benefits from the projects. Greater cost recovery from project beneficiaries means less Federal funding is required to construct, operate, and maintain Federal water projects. (Author).

This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1902, Reclamation has financed and built water projects to provide water for irrigation and various other uses in 17 western states. The costs to construct the water projects including irrigation as a project purpose-a combined total of more than $20 billion-were primarily financed by the federal government, but irrigation districts and other water users that receive project water are obligated to repay the government for their allocated share of construction costs. Reclamation typically enters into multiyear contracts with irrigation districts that establish water delivery and repayment of their share of construction costs over time. GAO was asked to provide information on the status of irrigation repayments. This report examines (1) the extent to which Reclamation collects and reports information on construction costs and the status of repayment and (2) the extent to which irrigation districts can repay early and the implications of early repayment. GAO reviewed laws and policies; fiscal year 2012 construction cost repayment and early repayment data; and interviewed Reclamation officials and nonprobability samples of eight irrigation districts and nine individuals knowledgeable about water projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the proposed water service contracts of the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation with the New Melones Reservoir irrigators, focusing on: how the Bureau contracts for the sale of project water, how water rates for Central Valley Project (CVP) irrigators are calculated, and the impact on project repayment of integrating New Melones irrigation construction costs into the CVP cost base. GAO found that the Bureau uses water service contracts for projects such as the CVP that are designed to be constructed in increments over long periods of time and operationally integrated when completed. One objective of the CVP water marketing policy is to set water service rates at levels sufficient to recover irrigation construction costs within 50 years of project completion. Construction, operation, maintenance, and irrigation water supply costs of all CVP units are added, then categorized into four project services, to determine repayment rates on a cost-of-service basis. GAO found that the New Melones rates are low because it uses only two project services, storage and water marketing. If New Melones were not part of the CVP, GAO estimates that it would have to pay $18.00 per acre-foot in order to repay project costs over the next 50 years, compared with the CVP rate of $3.50 per acre-foot. GAO found that, due to the financial integration of New Melones, CVP rates will increase approximately 40 cents an acre-foot per year; however, the rate increases cannot be passed along to existing water users until their contracts expire, are amended, or reach their adjustment date. Since the rates cannot be increased immediately, it will take approximately 82 years to recover the New Melones irrigation construction costs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bureau of Reclamation: Information on Allocation and Repayment of Costs of Constructing Water Projects; Report to the Ranking Minority Member, Committee on Resources, House of Representatives In response to provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the Bureau of Reclamation contracted with Battelle - Columbus to develop an Environmental Evaluation System (ees) for assessing environmental impacts of water resource development projects proposed by the Bureau. This work was conducted in two phases. The first phase involved the development of the ees and the second phase involved field testing and refinement of the ees using the Bear River Project in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming as a case study. This report summarizes the results of both phases of this work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
