Show metropolitan area. Although water for the diversion will be collected from tributaries of the San Juan River in both Colorado and New Mexico, all water will be used in New Mexico in the Rio Grande Basin. By exchange, the project will also increase the use of water in New Mexico in the Canadian River Basin. It is planned to provide for an initial diversion of llCKOOO acre-feet of Colorado River Basin water per year. This project will also improve conditions for recreation, fish and wildlife in the Rio Grande Basin. Authorizing legislation for both the Navajo Indian Irrigation and San Juan-Chama Projects will again be submitted to the First Session of the 86th Congress for approval. UTAH a. Gooseberry Project The Bureau of Reclamation completed a feasibility report for this project in January 1953. The plan of that report contemplated a diversion of 11,700 acre-feet from the Price River Basin. The people of Carbon County in Price River Basin opposed the plan, and, as a result it has not been recommended to Congress for authorization. Comparative data on a revised plan for a smaller diversion was compiled in 1957 for the use of the State of Utah in resolving the controversy between Carbon and Sanpete Counties. In addition, the Bureau has been making reconnaissance investigations for exchange storage in the Price River drainage. It is believed that if sufficient storage can be made available, the controversy can be settled and the project be submitted to Congress for authorization. Wyoming a. Savery-Pot Hook Project (See discussion under Colorado) b. Sublette Project (Buckskin Division) Field surveys and land classifications are well advanced. Other phases of investigation are only of a preliminary nature. A feasibility report is expected to be completed in 1962. 45 |
