Shown below is a table of purchase power costs from FY 1984-1994. The total 

 purchase power costs are displayed in the first colunin. Total costs for replacement 

 power purchased for fish operations are displayed in the secoixi column. The non- 

 power share of the costs of replacement power purchased for fish operations is 

 displayed in the third column. This represents the non-reimbursable replacement power 

 costs for BPA that were calculated according to section 4(h)(10)(C) criteria. The non- 

 reimbursable costs are comprised of 27% of the replacement power purchased for fish 

 mitigation costs net of the revenues. The establishment of a 27% system-wide 

 allocation is based on a weighted distribution of each hydro project's non-reimbursable 

 allocations.

 costs of these project purposed because we are unaware of any applicable statutory 

 authority similar to Section 4(h)(10)(C)."
