Central Utah Project Completion Act; Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project and Daniel Replacement Project

Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, the Department, Commission, and the District have issued a joint Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project and Daniel Replacement Project (WCWEP & DRP). The FEIS analyzes alternatives and impacts associated with efficiency improvements in the management, delivery, and treatment of water in Wasatch County. The project includes the conversion of some open irrigation systems to pressurized pipeline systems, thus conserving water and making sprinkler irrigation possible. Central Utah Project water conserved under section 207 of the Act which is available to the District would be provided to the Daniel Irrigation Company as a replacement supply for the terminated transbasin diversion from the Strawberry River, located in the Colorado River Basin. With the termination of the diversion from the Strawberry River, natural stream flows would be re-established in the upper Strawberry River, thus completing a major mitigation commitment associated with the Strawberry Aqueduct and Collection System of the Bonneville Unit.
