Notice of Intent To Negotiate a Contract Among Wasatch County Special Service Area #1, Central Utah Water Conservancy District, and Department of the Interior for Carriage of Non-Project Water Through the Wasatch Canal as Part of the Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project and Daniel Replacement Project of the Central Utah Project Completion Act

Resumo

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, and the District intends to improve, the Wasatch Canal, a feature which has historically been used to convey Provo River water to irrigators. The canal will be used to convey project water and non-project water for irrigation purposes. The purpose of the negotiation sessions will be to determine the amount of non-project water which will be conveyed through the Wasatch Canal and the price to be paid by WCSSA to the Department for conveying the non-project water.
