SUBCHAPTER XVII--LEGISLATION APPLICABLE TO PARTICULAR PROJECTS GENERALLY
Sec. 591a. Boise project, Idaho; Arrowrock Dam; installment
payments of costs of repairs, resurfacing, improvement, etc.
For the purpose of avoiding an unduly high operation and maintenance
assessment in any one year and to keep the operation and maintenance
charges in connection with the Arrowrock Division of the Boise
reclamation project within the ability of the water users to pay, the
Secretary of the Interior is authorized to allow the irrigation
districts of the said Arrowrock Division and the irrigation districts
ditch companies, and water users who have assumed obligations to pay
proportionate parts of the estimated cost of the operation and
maintenance of the Arrowrock Reservoir, to pay the costs, as determined
conclusively by said Secretary, incurred in the repair, resurfacing, and
improvement of the Arrowrock Dam and in increasing the height thereof
(to provide additional capacity to offset past and, to some extent,
future losses of capacity resulting from the deposit of silt in the said
reservoir) in twenty annual installments instead of requiring the
payment of all of such operation and maintenance costs in one year as
provided in section 492 of this title: Provided, That such costs, for
the purpose of any amendatory contracts affecting the construction
charges of Arrowrock Dam that may be entered into as authorized by
subchapter X of this chapter, may, in the discretion of the Secretary,
be treated as part of the construction charges of said dam, and as
payable in the same manner as such charges.
