GAO-06-314, Indian Irrigation Projects: Numerous Issues Need to Be Addressed to Improve Project Management and ... (13391 words) |
 | BIA acknowledged that the 2004 estimate would need revision largely for three reasons: the individuals who conducted the assessments did not have irrigation or engineering expertise, not all projects used the same methodology to develop their deferred maintenance estimates, and some projects incorrectly counted new construction items as deferred maintenance. |
| BIA's irrigation systems are non revenue- generating facilities that are primarily used for subsistence gardening and they are operated and maintained through a collaborative effort which generally involves other BIA programs, tribes, and water users. |
| BIA initially estimated its deferred maintenance costs at over $1 billion in fiscal year 2004, but acknowledged that this estimate was preliminary and would need to be revised largely because it incorrectly included new construction items and was developed by non-engineers. |
