Show Ky recommendation on a go-ahead on the Strawberry Aqueduct is conditioned with the fimTassurance that there will be no construction" beyond Currant CreekJjara and no commitment of the_use_^f_the additional 35,000~aTf. of~Ha^er until the Governor of Utah, the U.S". Forest Service, and the Bureaujjf .Reclamation have ^reexamined and reached a~"decTsion as to the proper use of this water. r [Aj<iy^> It i s i m p o r t a n t to realize that-if any portion of the 35,000 a.f. ' f l u , is not diverted to the Bonneville area, it would not be lost to the State of Utah but could be efficiently and effectively used in eastern /U6VYV^V\n Utah in the Uinta Basin by containment and diversion from the existing J ±: Starvation Dam. There are reasons to think that a better use for a • r**^*^4^ portion of the 35,000 a.f. might be to more optimally balance popula-r ' tion growth, with particular reference to the land exchanges now ° r K A X i ^ being examined between the State and BLM for oil shale development - -^XrW-cX ^ the e a s t e r n portion of the State. • _ 7. ' In summary, I am suggesting a go-ahead on actions which would provide . >• / K&I water to the Salt Lake area but delay a commitment for additional f^Tw^T (non M&I) waters to that area until subsequent discussions and agree- "• /LMC ments have been reached among the Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and the Governor of Utah to fully protect the stream flows in the t\s Uinta watershed. fc..--« r_ 1:11 UrfijLnP Following the advice to you of the Assistant Secretary for Program Development and Budget, the Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife .and Parks, and the Under Secretary, I would be happy to undertake f s the actions that I have recommended, particularly the reexamination |^ ••-••.'" •' 'of the use of the water which presently is planned to be diverted ; to the Bonneville Basin for irrigation purposes.
