Find out MORE about the Logan River Watershed Project below:
LRWP is very complex, damaging, and WILDLY expensive.
IT is described in a daunting 2803 page long document. That Draft Environmental Impact Statement is DEIS for short.
That DEIS is DEEPLY flawed, full of misrepresentations, contains several undisclosed catastrophic consequences and implications, lacks community backing, contains zero public opinion surveys, barely explains how 55% of the budgets would be spent, and ironically, is missing vital information.
Sponsors hope to spend massive amounts of your tax moneys in order to USE MORE river water on turf.
Lifetime cost will be at LEAST $410 million,
with $135,000,000 from our local fees and taxes.
The installation cost is estimated at 310,000,000 tax dollars. That includes 31 million dollars of our local money and also our federal tax money.
PLUS operation of the irrigation system will cost our community 2 million dollars EVERY YEAR.
The LRWP will hire full time employees, acquire a building or office space, invest in heavy equipments and much more:
"All O&M costs will be annual expenses.
Personnel costs were estimated at $591,690 per year, increasing at 3 percent annually. Equipment was estimated as an initial one-time expense of $388,500 financed through a 7-year tax-exempt lease at an interest rate of 3 percent. This equates to an annual payment of $62,357. Materials and supplies were estimated at $100,000 per year, increasing at 3 percent annually. Office space was estimated as an initial one-time expense of $500,000 financed with the capital projects as described in Section 10.2.1. "
We find no equivalent project in the same federal program. Most PL-566 funding is at the 1-10 million dollar level.
