Proposed Rule Making for Offstream Storage of Colorado River Water and Interstate Redemption of Storage Credits in the Lower Division States

Короткий зміст

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (as amended), the Bureau or Reclamation (Reclamation) has prepared a DPEA on proposed rule making for offstream storage of Colorado River water and interstate redemption or use of storage credits in the lower Division States. The proposed rule is intended to encourage further cooperation among the Lower Division States in resolving common water resource problems and demands. The proposed rule would establish a procedural framework under which authorized entities in the Lower Division States could store offstream certain Colorado River water, develop storage credits associated with that water, and use those credits within the Lower Division.
