• Table 1. Estimated Installation Cost: This table documents the federal <strong>and</strong> non-federal<br />
funding sources respectively. The table shows federal expenditures under the Watershed<br />
Protection <strong>and</strong> <strong>Flood</strong> Prevention Act (PL 83-566).<br />
• Table 2. Estimated Cost Distribution: This table shows estimated costs to be charged to the<br />
PL 83-566 Funds, <strong>and</strong> those to be borne by the Sponsors.<br />
• Table 3b. Structure Data-Channel Work: This table shows important physical characteristics<br />
<strong>and</strong> geometry for the proposed channel improvements (<strong>Powerline</strong> Channel, North Diversion<br />
Channel).<br />
• Table 4. Estimated Average Annual National Economic Development (NED) Cost: This<br />
table shows the anticipated installation costs of the Preferred Alternative discounted over<br />
the evaluation period of 103 years.<br />
• Table 5. Estimated Average Annual Damage Reduction Benefits: This table summarizes<br />
flood damage reduction provided by the proposed project. It includes a summary of the<br />
agricultural <strong>and</strong> non-agricultural benefits that the proposed project would provide.<br />
• Table 6. Comparison of NED Benefits <strong>and</strong> Costs: This table summarizes the benefits <strong>and</strong><br />
costs of the Preferred Alternative <strong>and</strong> documents the overall benefit-to-cost ratio of the<br />
proposed project.<br />
8.6 INSTALLATION AND FINANCING<br />
8.6.1 FRAMEWORK<br />
All works of improvement will be installed in accordance with applicable state <strong>and</strong> Federal<br />
regulations. Installation of the work will be accomplished through a Project Agreement, which<br />
defines <strong>and</strong> details the roles <strong>and</strong> responsibilities of the NRCS <strong>and</strong> the Sponsors.<br />
8.6.2 PLANNED SEQUENCE OF INSTALLATION<br />
The major construction elements in the Preferred Alternative can be divided into the <strong>Powerline</strong><br />
Channel, the North Diversion Channel, <strong>and</strong> removal/breach of the existing dam embankment.<br />
The new <strong>Powerline</strong> Channel, North Diversion Channel, <strong>and</strong> removal of the existing dam<br />
embankment should not occur until the work on the rehabilitated Vineyard Road FRS is completed<br />
(under the Vineyard Road <strong>and</strong> Rittenhouse FRS Supplemental Watershed <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Environ</strong>mental<br />
<strong>Assessment</strong> Project). However, the order of construction sequence for the Preferred Alternative is<br />
to construct the <strong>Powerline</strong> Channel first beginning with the confluence of the channel into the<br />
Vineyard Road FRS. The channel should be constructed from downstream to upstream <strong>and</strong> include<br />
the major side/confluences with Siphon Draw <strong>and</strong> Weekes Wash. The North Diversion Channel<br />
improvements could be constructed next. Once construction of the channels are completed, the<br />
existing <strong>Powerline</strong> FRS <strong>and</strong> IDSM embankments may be removed <strong>and</strong> the footprints stabilized.<br />
Erosion protection measures may be placed when grading is completed for the specific elements.<br />
