Show APPENDIX X X3 1001 In the Supreme Court of the United States OCTOBER TERM, 1966 No. 8, Original State of Arizona, complainant V. State of California, Palo Verde Irrigation District, Imperial Irrigation District, Coachella Valley County Water District, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, City of Los Angeles, California, City of San Diego, California, and County of San Diego, California, defendants The United States of America and State of Nevada, interveners State of Utah and State of New Mexico, impleaded defendants LIST OF PRESENT PERFECTED RIGHTS CLAIMED BY THE UNITED STATES Pursuant to Article VI of the Decree entered herein, 376 U.S. 340, as amended, 383 U.S. 268, we submit the list supplied by the Secretary of the Interior of the present perfected rights claimed by the United States within each state in the mainstream of the Colorado River. This list is in two parts: (I) The further definition of the present perfected rights claimed for the federal establishments named in Article II, subdivision (D), paragraphs (1) through (6), such rights having been decreed in said Article II. (II) Other present perfected rights claimed by the United States. These claims are made with respect to those irrigation projects which were authorized and undertaken by the United States under the federal reclamation laws prior to the effective date of the Boulder Canyon Project Act. Each of these claims is stated in the first instance in terms of diversions at Imperial Dam. While the diversion point for each of these projects pre-1929 was different from Imperial Dam, the diversion point is now that dam and appropriate adjustments of the quantities of water actually diverted and applied to beneficial use on the several projects before June 25, 1929, have been made to reflect the new diversion point. |
