Relation Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; for example the costs of retiring the land and other measures to reduce saline return flows from the welton mohawk project are at least 10 per acre foot per year the diversion of 221300 acre feet would be 21 million at 10 per acre foot value of hydropower hydro power on the colorado river the oct 1987 draft supplement to the definite plan report failed to include as costs of the diamond fork system the value of the hydropower hydro power that will not be generated at glen canyon hoover parker and davis and other generating plants on the colorado river and the all american canal the 221300 acre feet proposed annually to be diverted by the diamond fork system would otherwise fall over 1500 feet and generate cenerate venerate oen cen erate valuable electric power at colorado basin hydropower hydro power projects the principles and guidelines at 212.4 2124 2124 states that resources required or displayed to achieve project purposes represent an NED cost and should be evaluated as such the loss of this power would be a major resource displaced by the diamond fork system and should be included as a project costs hydropower Hydro power facilities on the diamond fork system the alternative plans presented in the DS include hydropower hydro power generation facilities for project power and provision for additional facilities to be added at a later time by nonfederal non federal interests neither the western area power administration nor the bureau has been able to find a nonfederal non federal entity which will invest in the larger diamond fork power project this evidence of lack of a suitable rate of return for hydropower hydro power in the diamond fork system suggests that even the small smail power plants proposed for project purposes would be uneconomic investments the costs and benefits of any power facilities should be evaluated in the FS the bureau should evaluate whether a smaller and less costly diamond fork system could be formulated formulated if it was not sized as it currently is for hydropower hydro power facilities 243
