This recommendation assumes a major portion of sewage effluent from the city of Tucson will be made available to mines in area. If the transfer of effluent to the mines is not consummated and is retained instead within the city's water supply system, the city's allocation will be reduced and the mines' allocation increased by the amount of effluent retained. The Secretary is expected to act on such recommendations after the M&I environmental assessment is completed, probably in mid to late 1979. The Arizona Water Commission is studying the agricultural water allocations which it will submit to the Secretary when completed. Two subsidiary contracts were executed by the Department of Interior for special studies. These were Contract No. 14-06-300-2192, dated July 7, 1970, with the Arizona Interstate Stream Commission, and Contract No. 14-06-300-2408, dated November 10, 1972, with the Arizona Water Commission, successor to the Interstate Stream Commission.
