Document B - Each multi-purpose Federal project was weighed equally against the 

 established joint allocation percentage for power. This is the method the Corps of 

 Engineers applies to the expenditures of the System Operation Review (SOR) Progaml 

 •This results in a 30% non-power allocation. The inequity between a small multi- 

 pupose project like Cougar and a large multi-pupose jproject like Bonneville is difficult 

 to defend. 



Document C - The established joint allocation perccatagcs for power were applied to 

 th6 distributive share of each projects plant in service. . This application weighs the ■ 

 established joiint allocation percentage for power based on the capital cost BPA has 

 incurred per projecL This results in a 23 % non-jxjwer allocation. Although 

 Bonneville is a large producer, little weight is given to it because of the low cost of 

 construction in the I930's. 



RECOMMENDATION 



\. 



The allocation described in Document A is recommeded. The ability for BPA to pay 

 for Fish and Wildlife programs is based on revenue and borrowing authority which are 

 affected by the productivity of the generation projects.
