NEW WATER IMPOUNDMENT STRUCTURES: If new ponds, reservoirs, settling basins, or other water impoundment structures are to be constructed or existing structures enlarged for any purpose (e.g., re-regulation, evaporation, etc.) as part of this application, address the requirements listed in FOA Section IV.E.1.b and identify the type and thickness of the liner, the average seepage rate expected over the project life, construction methods, and quality control program. If the size of a proposed or existing water impoundment structure increases later a new salt load calculation will be developed and funding may be reduced and/or the application ranking may change.

Response:

If new irritation features will provide water and pressure of such quantity, quality, and reliability to: 1) promote high efficiency sprinkler systems or 2) promote above ground and buried drip or tubing, micro spray, to meet the conditions required for precision leveled, border irrigated fields and/or surge irrigated fields, complete the Enable On-Farm Worksheet and submit required mapping in accordance with FOA Section IV.E.2. Attach the completed worksheet as Appendix D. Summarize below the number of eligible deliveries and “Claimable Acres” for each canal/lateral/ditch. Additionally, identify the percentage of landowners that have demonstrated their intent by signing the page 2 table of the worksheet, and list the total acreage represented by those landowners.

HABITAT REPLACEMENT PLAN: If known, describe wetlands that may be affected by the proposed project and whether they have been previously inventoried. Identify existing Habitat Replacement Plans or new evaluations and analysis needed to develop a plan. Identify costs for studies and implementation of the plan. Justification must be provided if estimated costs are less than 5% of the Total Construction Cost. See FOA Section IV.E.4 for further information.

PART III – PROJECT COSTS AND FUNDING PLAN

Response:

Response:

Program cost:

(In the table provided, enter the total and amortized Basinwide Program or BSP costs. The amortized cost can be determined by applying the amortization factor of 0.04168 to the Basinwide or BSP costs. The amortization factor is based on the FY 2015 Federal planning interest rate of 3.375 percent and a project life of 50 years.)

Describe EXISTING lined or piped sections

Note 1

Note 2

Notes: 1. Type of liner may be concrete, earth (clay), membrane or other (please specify).

2. Condition of liner should be rated as poor, satisfactory, good.

3. Disregard dispersed pipe segments with individual lengths of less than 100 feet.

APPENDIX C: SUPPLEMENTAL DATA TABLES AND/OR DATA FOR OTHER TYPES OF SALINITY CONTROL (NON IRRIGATION RELATED)

APPENDIX D – ESTIMATE OF ENABLED ON-FARM ACREAGE

The Page 1 and Page 2 tables for Appendix D can be downloaded from the website http://www.usbr.gov/uc/progact/salinity as an Excel spreadsheet. Instructions for completing Appendix D are contained in the spreadsheet file. Include the completed tables with the final application as Appendix D and submit the completed Excel spreadsheet electronically.

APPENDIX E: DETAILED COST ESTIMATE

1. List detailed cost estimates in sufficient detail to evaluate the reasonableness of your budget proposal. For example, show different pipe diameters, farm turnouts, road crossings, air vents, pressure reducing valves, fittings, isolations valves, diversion structures, trash cleaners, mechanical equipment, metalwork, earthwork, lining materials, concrete structures, canal obliteration, structure removal, re-vegetation, and right-of-way acquisition. The line item should show quantities and appropriate pricing either in unit prices or materials and installation. Add lines to this table and customize for your specific project.

1. All entries must match values and descriptions in the responses to Part II, Project Proposed for Funding.

1. Give a detailed Budget Narrative which justifies the reasonableness of the cost estimates included in the budget proposal. Examples of acceptable justifications are quotes from more than one vendor in the competitive market, historical documentation of actual costs on prior similar projects, open competitive requests for proposals (RFP) and/or evidence of the industry standards for your geographic area.

1. The Habitat Replacement Plan should be five percent (5%) of the Total Construction Cost, unless justification is provided in the project proposal for a different value. The applicant is responsible for the full cost of the Habitat Replacement Plan even if it exceeds the five percent (5%) value. See FOA Section IV.E.4.

1. Costs must be included for NEPA compliance and compliance with cultural resource laws. The applicant is responsible for any costs of mitigation of cultural resource impacts and should include sufficient allowances. See FOA Section III.B.4.

1. Include cost of A-133 Audit(s) for each of your fiscal years when Federal expenditures exceeded $750,000.00. Expenditures begin when the financial obligations were incurred.

1. For further guidance please refer to the Budget Pricing Guide document which can be downloaded from http://www.usbr.gov/uc/progact/salinity.
