expected operating costs (not including $40 million for the original water 

 budget) with the non-power costs results in a range of $80 to $170 million 

 with a corresponding Priority Firm (PF) rate increase of about .8 to 

 1 .7 mills/kwh, or roughly 3 to 7 percentage points from present levels. 



The water budget portion of these flows was absorbed in BPA rates in the 

 mid-1980s The Phase II and ESA measures described above are reflected 

 in BPA's proposed 1993 rate increase and represent about 4 to 4.5 

 percentage points of that increase. None of the impacts described above 

 include pre-Phase II fish program measures mandated by the Power 

 Council (roughly $50 million annually) or BPA payments to the Treasury 

 for Lower Snake hatchery operations and fish mitigation measures fimded 

 through the Corps of Engineers (roughly $40 million annually).
