What Is the Central Arizona Project? What Is the Central Arizona Project? It is a so-called reclamation project to take Colorado River water to land in the central part of Arizona, near Phoenix. The principal excuse advanced by the project proponents for its construc­ tion is to provide a "rescue" supply of Colorado River water to 226,000 acres of war-boom land in Arizona. On this basis the cost of such un­ precedented government "relief" is $1, 838 an acre for the irrigation features alone. Comparison with official records shows that this per-acre cost is I I 00% greater than the average for all other western reclamation projects to date. No public lands will be opened for entry to war veterans or other citizens under provisions of the project. It will be used exclusively for the benefit of present land owners. More than one-half of the land involved is owned by 420 individuals who would receive average benefits of $550,000 each, at the expense of the Nation's taxpayers. According to an official estimate made by the Secretary of the Interior, American taxpayers would be required to pay $2,075, 729 ,000 in additional taxes to subsidize the Arizona project. What the taxpayer in each state would have to pay is shown on the reverse side of this sheet. Principal construction features of the costly project are described in Senate Bill 75, now pending in Congress. They include (I) Bridge Canyon Dam and ~ower plant on the Colorado River, 120 miles above Hoover (Boulder) Dam, (2) Parker pump lift, to take irrigation water from the Colorado River near Parker Dam and Ii# it to a total height of 985 feet, (3) a 300-mile system of canals and pipe lines to deliver water for raising ordinary field crops, such as alfalfa, hay and potatoes, on Arizona lands. Strenuous attempts to get the fantastic project approved by Congress are being made by Arizona promoters in the face of the defense emergency. Construction of the huge system would consume vast quantities of critical materials ·and would add to the drain on manpower without contributing in any way to the defense effort. In peace time or in war time, the Central Arizona Project has no justifica­ tion from the standpoint of national economy or the Nation's taxpayers. Senate Bill 75, and its companion bill, H.R.1500, should be defeated. Write to your Congressman today and let him know that you are strongly op­ posed to the wasteful government spending and the higher taxes called for in those bills.

C. Note 2- Cost to the nation's taxpayers of $2,075,729,000 is an official estimate of Oscar L. Chapman, Secretary of the Interior. It is based on the provisions of S. 75 (Central Arizona Project Bill) and the following specified conditions: construction cost estimate of $708,780,000 made by the Bureau of Reclamation (Senate Report No. 832, 81 st Congress, I st Session); an interest rate of 21/i %; an eight-year construction period; and a 75 year financing period. The Secretary's statement appears in his letter dated June 28, 1950, to J. Hardin Peterson, Chairman of the House Public Lands Committee. The statement was approved by the Bureau of the Budget. These figures prove tha.t the Central Arizona Proiect will not be self-supporting, as claimed by its promoters. Actually, it will cost taxpayers of all the states BILLIONS. Spending this huge sum will not help the current National defense effort in a.ny way. Instead, it would divert and use up manpower and large supplies of steel, cement, copper and other critical ma.terials. ( See other side) ('!4'... _ 43 1-52 .

  • ATTACHMENT B Dams and Reservoirs Along the Lower
    ATTACHMENTS ATTACHMENT B Dams and Reservoirs Along the Lower Colorado River This attachment to the Colorado River Interim Surplus Criteria DEIS describes the dams and reservoirs on the main stream of the Colorado River from Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona to Morelos Dam along the international boundary with Mexico. The role that each plays in the operation of the Colorado River system is also explained. COLORADO RIVER INTERIM SURPLUS CRITERIA DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT COLORADO RIVER DAMS AND RESERVOIRS Lake Powell to Morelos Dam The following discussion summarizes the dams and reservoirs along the Colorado River from Lake Powell to the Southerly International Boundary (SIB) with Mexico and their specific roles in the operation of the Colorado River. Individual dams serve one or more specific purposes as designated in their federal construction authorizations. Such purposes are, water storage, flood control, river regulation, power generation, and water diversion to Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico. The All-American Canal is included in this summary because it conveys some of the water delivered to Mexico and thereby contributes to the river system operation. The dams and reservoirs are listed in the order of their location along the river proceeding downstream from Lake Powell. Their locations are shown on the map attached to the inside of the rear cover of this report. Glen Canyon Dam – Glen Canyon Dam, which formed Lake Powell, is a principal part of the Colorado River Storage Project. It is a concrete arch dam 710 feet high and 1,560 feet wide. The maximum generating discharge capacity is 33,200 cfs which may be augmented by an additional 15,000 cfs through the river outlet works.

  • Colorado River Slideshow Title TK
    The Colorado River: Lifeline of the Southwest { The Headwaters The Colorado River begins in the Rocky Mountains at elevation 10,000 feet, about 60 miles northwest of Denver in Colorado. The Path Snow melts into water, flows into the river and moves downstream. In Utah, the river meets primary tributaries, the Green River and the San Juan River, before flowing into Lake Powell and beyond. Source: Bureau of Reclamation The Path In total, the Colorado River cuts through 1,450 miles of mountains, plains and deserts to Mexico and the Gulf of California. Source: George Eastman House It was almost 1,500 years ago when humans first tapped the river. Since then, the water has been claimed, reclaimed, divided and subdivided many times. The river is the life source for seven states – Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming – as well as the Republic of Mexico. River Water Uses There are many demands for Colorado River water: • Agriculture and Livestock • Municipal and Industrial • Recreation • Fish/Wildlife and Habitat • Hydroelectricity • Tribes • Mexico Source: USGS Agriculture The Colorado River provides irrigation water to about 3.5 million acres of farmland – about 80 percent of its flows. Municipal Phoenix Denver About 15 percent of Colorado River flows provide drinking and household water to more than 30 million people. These cities include: Las Vegas and Phoenix, and cities outside the Basin – Denver, Albuquerque, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. Recreation Source: Utah Office of Tourism Source: Emma Williams Recreation includes fishing, boating, waterskiing, camping and whitewater rafting in 22 National Wildlife Refuges, National Parks and National Recreation Areas along river.

  • Hoover Dam: Evolution of the Dam’S Design
    Hoover Dam: Evolution of the Dam’s Design J. David Rogers1, Ph.D., P.E., P.G., F. ASCE 1K.F. Hasslemann Chair in Geological Engineering, Missouri University of Science & Technology, Rolla, MO 65409; [email protected] ABSTRACT: Hoover Dam was a monumental accomplishment for its era which set new standards for feasibility studies, structural analysis and behavior, quality control during construction, and post-construction performance evaluations. One of the most important departures was the congressional mandate placed upon the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) to employ an independent Colorado River Board to perform a detailed review of the agency’s design and issue recommendations that significantly affected the project’s eventual form and placement. Of its own accord Reclamation also employed an independent board of consultants which convened twice yearly several years prior to and during construction of the project, between 1928 and 1935. Reclamation also appointed a special board of consultants on mass concrete issues, which had never been previously convened. Many additional landmark studies were undertaken which shaped the future of dam building. Some of these included: the employment of terrestrial photogrammetry to map the dam site and validate material quantities; insitu instrumentation of the dam’s concrete; and consensus surveys of all previous high dams to compare their physical, geologic, and hydrologic features with those proposed at Hoover Dam. The project was also unique because the federal government provided of all materials, except the concrete aggregate, to minimize risk of construction claims and delays. EARLY INVESTIGATIONS Background Investigations along the lower Colorado River which eventually led to the construction of Hoover Dam were initiated by the U.S.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT of the INTERIOR FISH ANDWILDLIFE SERVICE Interior 5634 For Release MAY 19, 1963 INTERIORREPORTS PLANS READY FOR AERIAL FISH PLANTINGIN LAKE POWELL Tomorrow an airplane will take off from the airstrip at Page, Arizona, on a mission of interest to every fisherman in the Nation--a major step in the Depart- ment of the Interior's development of a huge recreational area in several Rocky Mountain States. The plane will be equipped with a special tank containing 500 pounds of two- inch rainbow trout and enough water to assure survival on their journey. A few minutes from Page as the plane flies, but days of hard travel on the ground, the plane will dip low over the lake being formed by the Colorado River behind newly completed Glen Canyon Dam, and the pilot will pull a lever dropping fish and water into the depths of Lake Powell. When he completes his six trips for that day, he will have placed one million fingerling trout in the new reservoir-- trout from the new Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery Arizona, downstream from Boulder City, Nevada, operated by the Fish and Wildlife Service's Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. On Wednesday, the same plane will again make six trips into the spectacularly beautiful capon of the upper Colorado to plant another million rainbows, these from the Williams Creek and Alchesay National Fish Hatcheries in eastern Arizona. Two days later, another million little trout from the Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery will take the short air trip up into the canyon to find their homes in the rapidly forming lake.
