ESTIMATED COST OF RECOVERY ACTIONS. The estimated total budget for the Recovery Program from FY 2007–FY 2011 is approximately $54.2 million. Funding for the Recovery Program is expected to come from the following sources: a. An annual operating budget of approximately $6 million, totaling roughly $32 million from FY 2007–FY 2011 as it is adjusted annually for inflation. The source of these funds will be: Western Area Power Administration and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (hydropower revenues); the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and the States of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Additional annual funding will come from water development depletion fees. Under the Recovery Program, proponents of new water projects which undergo Section 7 Endangered Species Act consultation have agreed to pay a one- time depletion fee based on a project's average annual depletion. The rate is adjusted annually for inflation: as of October 1, 2006 it was $17.24 per acre foot; the rate increases to $17.79 per acre foot as of October 1, 2007. The actual rate of water development has not been projected. b. Approximately $83.1 million will be spent between FY 1999 and FY 2010 for capital projects, including: acquisition of water and water rights to implement and maintain adequate instream flows for the fish; building fish passages and hatcheries; and restoring flooded bottomlands. P.L. 106-392 authorized this funding in October 2000; P.L. 107-375 extended construction authority from 2005 to 2008; and P.L. 109-183 authorized Federal appropriations through 2010, increased authorized Federal appropriations from $46 million to $61 million, and increased the capital funding total from $62 million to $77 million plus adjustments for inflation to the Federal portion. The actual cost of any one capital project will depend on final planning, design and budgeting. Costs for individual projects will be modified to more accurately reflect expected costs as the work plans are updated annually.

ESTIMATED COST OF RECOVERY ACTIONS. ‌ The estimated total budget for the Recovery Program from FY 20072018–FY 2011 2023 is approximately $54.2 million56 million2. Funding for the Recovery Program is expected to come from the following sources: a. An annual operating budget of approximately $6 7 million, totaling roughly $32 million from FY 2007–FY 2011 as it is adjusted annually for inflation. As per passage of PL 112-270, which reauthorized PL 106-392, annual funding will be applied to the full suite of the Recovery Program’s actions through FY2019, with the exception of capital projects. The source sources of these funds will be: Western Area Power Administration and are hydropower revenues from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (hydropower revenues)Colorado River Storage Project; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and the States of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. In 2017, non-federal Recovery Program(s) partners introduced legislation to reauthorize PL 106-392 to provide full funding through 2023 (H.R. 4465 and S.2166). Additional annual funding will come from one-time water development depletion feesfees on new projects (post- January 21, 1988). Under the Recovery Program, proponents of new water projects projects, which undergo Section 7 Endangered Species Act consultation have agreed to consultation, pay a one- one-time depletion fee based on a project's average annual depletion. The rate is adjusted annually for inflation: as . As of October 1, 2006 it 2017, the fee was $17.24 21.17 per acre acre-foot; the rate increases to $17.79 21.61 per acre acre-foot as of October 1, 20072018. The actual rate of water development has not been projectedprojected therefore it is difficult to predict the amount of this funding source on an annual basis. Through FY2016, depletion fees and interest earned on these fees totaled $2,446,700. These funds may be accumulated and are used to fund recovery actions pursuant to decisions made by the Recovery Program on an annual basis. b. Approximately $83.1 9.53 million will be spent between FY 1999 2018 and FY 2010 2023 for remaining capital projects, including: acquisition of water and water rights to implement and maintain adequate instream flows for the fish; building fish passages and hatcheries; and restoring flooded bottomlands. P.L. 106-392 authorized this capital funding in October 2000; P.L. 107-375 extended construction authority from 2005 to 2008; and P.L. 109-183 authorized Federal appropriations through 2010, increased authorized Federal appropriations from $46 million to $61 million, 2 Expenditures to date may be found in the pie charts of the most recent Program Highlights briefing document. and increased the capital capital-funding total from $62 million to $77 million plus adjustments for inflation to the Federal portion.
