4) DNRC supports an increased term of leasing salvage water from 20 to 30 years. 

 Many of the salvage water projects have a working life that exceed 20 years and 

 costs that are often amortized for more than 20 years. The economics and working 

 life associated with these projects suggest a 30-year lease would be more viable.
