Show There are no guidelines, or review process, for determining anti-degradation standards in existing instream beneficial water use which are economically and socially viable. These are needed by the States as well as by EPA and by Agencies such as the Forest Service and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in carrying out their mandates. The Salt Lake County Attorney's report on available water for State management, based on 208 Water Quality Studies and Utah State University Water Laboratory research, indicated that 40$ of the CUP developed v/ater would be for M & I purposes. An equally high % of new, high quality trout stream water, unrecycled, would be supplied in unlimited amounts,for watering Salt Lake County lawns. In view of the original purpose on which the Bureau of 9eclamation was authorized, that of irrigation of family farms, the shift in purpose taking place in the CUP, and the"manipulation" of irrigation, and on any and all kinds of soils in Utah, raises other serious questions - not the least of which is the use of the taxpayers' money. Eventual costs - spelled out in a Utah State University study on the feasibility of accelerating construction of the CUP- might reach three billion dollars. Thank you for your assistance in helping provide us answers to critical issues of the CUP. Very truly yours, A ^ U ^ t / j ^ FjTLAAAt/^ i Dorothy Harvey Co-Chairman Citizens for a Responsible CUP |
