Notice of Intent To Negotiate Agreements Between the Wasatch County Special Service Area #1, and Department of the Interior for the Purchase of the Timpanogos and Wasatch Canals as Part of the Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project and Daniel Replacement Project of the Central Utah Project Completion Act

Résumé

Public Law 102-575, Central Utah Project Completion Act, Sections 202(a)(3), 207(e), and 303(b), allows for the construction of the WCWEP and DRP as part of the Central Utah Project. The WCWEP and DRP Projects provide for increasing irrigation efficiency in the Heber Valley, conserving water, and eliminating the diversion of water from the upper Strawberry River tributaries to Heber Valley. As part of these projects, the United States plans to acquire the Timpanogos and Wasatch Canals from WCSSA. These two canals are features which have historically been used to convey Provo River water to Heber Valley irrigators. The canals will be used to convey project water and non- project water for irrigation purposes. The purpose of the negotiation sessions will be to agree upon the price and the details for the United States to purchase Timpanogos and Wasatch Canals from WCSSA.
