Estimated average annual benefits are as follows: FISCAL YEAR 1986: The requested amount will be applied as follows: Continue Land Acquisition Continue Relocations Continue Boundary Monumentation, Initiate Fencing Part IV & The funds requested above are required to continue construction and meet the scheduled completion dates. 4 FEB 1985 Ray Roberts Lake, Texas 142 NON-FEDERAL COST: Local interests are required to reimburse the Federal Government for costs allocated to water supply storage and one-half of the separable costs allocated to recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement. This non-Federal reimbursement is presently estimated at $180,508,000 which includes $161,556,000 for water supply storage. The recreation and fish and wildlife reimbursement is estimated at $18,952,000 exclusive of interest and future recreation facilities and will be furnished by local interests subsequent to the completion of the project. The annual cost to local interests for maintenance, operation, and replacements is $250,000 for water supply and $1,108,000 for recreation for a total of $1,358,000.

The cost estimate reflects increases of $5,498,000 based on more detailed design of construction and relocations and $993,000 for Engineering and Design and Supervision and Administration based on reanalysis of requirements. These increases were offset by net decreases of $2,078,000 for favorable bids and $1,102,000 for estimated final cost of contracts, $104,000 based on reanalysis of remaining cost for lands, and $3,207,000 for adjustment in estimated inflation allowance through the construction period.
