have been adjusted and updated to reflect the poor water conditions now affecting the operations 

 of Federal hydroelectric system. 



(B) The tables represent a "revenue requirement" view of BPA's fish and wildlife funding 

 responsibilities. All expenses in these tables are paid for by BPA's ratepayers. 



(C) Estimates for FY 1993 to FY 1995 are generally based on information contained in BPA's 

 FY 1994 Budget Submission to Congress or the 1993 Initial Rate Case documentation. 



Footnotes — Specific 



1/ Based on outlays. 



2/ Based on Plant-in-Service. 



3/ Includes costs for environmental analysis that are forecasted in BPA's Power Marketing 

 Program. 



4/ "Existing Water Budget" has been incorporated in BPA's load/resource balance. The water 

 budget is included under "Program Expenses" for ease of display. In years when there is a firm 

 surplus of power, the water budget is a foregone revenue In years when there is no firm surplus 

 of power, the water budget is an expense for power purchases. 



5/ These figures are based on operational implementation of salmon measures, 3.0 million acre 

 feet on the Columbia River and 1 .3 million acre feet fi-om Dworshak Dam for FY 1992. 

 Beginning in FY 1993 Snake River flow augmentation is in firm planning, Columbia flow 

 augmentation reflects 50-year planning (instead of 5-year), and the costs of implementing the 

 National Marine Fisheries Service Biological Opinion are included in these estimates. These 

 estimates also include some foregone revenues associated with flow augmentation. 



6/ Estimate, subject to revision as updated information becomes available fi'om these agencies. 



7/ This "drawdown" includes operations near minimum operating pool elevations as in 1992. 

 Other drawdown proposals being studied include physical changes to the Lower Snake River 

 dams. These proposals would result in significantly higher costs and are not included in the table. 



Question 2: What percentage of the FY 1992, 1993 and proposed FY 1994 budget 



are/were devoted to the implementation of Council program measures and 

 what amount are/were spent for other purposes? Please provide a list of all 

 non-program measures in these budgets, including the rationale, cost and 

 purpose of each measure.
