Show (participating projects) that were beyond the capability of the water users to repay without regard to State location of the projects as long as they were situated within one of the four Upper Basin States. # COLORADO OBJECTED The Governor of Colorado and people on the western slope of that state objected to legislation as originally introduced in the Congress to initiate the development under this strict basin-wide principle, which, in effect, erased state lines. Their objections were based upon the premise that the legislation did not provide sufficient and equitable benefits for the State of Colorado which received 51.75% of the consumptive use of water under the Upper Basin Compact and from whose watershed comes about 70% of the virgin flow of the river. To overcome these objections and allay the fears of Colorado that the construction of water-use projects in the other three States might proceed more rapidly and to the detriment of future developments in Colorado, it was proposed by the Colorado Governor that excess power profits from the power-producing Storage Units, such as the Glen Canyon Dam, should be credited to a fund within the U. S. Treasury in percentage apportionments the same as water allocations in the Upper Basin Compact (see table). These revenues credited to each State were to be used for paying for participating projects within each State; thus, limiting the possible future development of water resources in each State to the amount of money available to its credit, because all of the projects would need financial help from some outside source, such as money collected from power revenues. » CREDITS REFINED A further study of this complicated and controversial problem revealed that apportioning the excess power revenues on the same basis as the percentage allocations of consumptive use of water in the Upper Basin Compact would not make possible repayment of the costs of participating projects in two of the States because of the high cost of those projects and the small amount of revenue going to those States under the apportionment formula. Consequently, the proposition then was advanced that the power profits should be credited for use within the individual States on the basis of the percentage of presently unused consump- |
