The ninth annual conference of the Colorado River Water Users Association was called to order by President A. J . Shaver at the Thunderbird Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada at 9:45 A.M., December 8, 1952. Addresses of welccme were given by the Honorable C. D. Baker, Mayor of Las Vegas, and the Honorable Cliff Jones, Lieutenant Governor of Nevada. The following c0llllll1ttees were appointed by the President: Auditing -- Hampton c. Godbe (Chairman), R. J, McMullin, and Leo A, Snow Resolutions Arvin B, Shaw, Jr. (Chairman), c. A. Anderson, and AJ.fied Merritt Smith Nominating Victor r. Corbell, Hugh A. Shamberger, and Fisher Harris Addresses delivered at the conference are summarized herewith: *********** RECENT AC':I'IVITIES OF DEPARrMENT OF AGRICULTURE Warren T. },furphy - Field Representative The Department of Agriculture plays a vital role in many fields of interest to users of the waters of the Colorado River. Concerned with the cropland phases are the Soil Conservation Service, the Production and Marketing Administration, the Agricultural Extension Service, the Farmers Heme Adminis­ tration, the Agricultural Research Administration, the state Agricultural Experiment stations and the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. The U.S. Forest Service and the cooperating State Forestry Departments are pre-eminent ·in the field of protecting, managing and conducting research relating to the wild watershed lands of the Pacific Southwest. Under the Soi l Conservation Service, a cooperative drainage study has been under way about one year near Grand Junction, Colorado to determine the possibility of reclaiming lands that have deteriorated or gone out of produc­ tion due to water logging and the accumulation of salts. The possibility of reducing the upward pressure of water into tight soils from underground aquifers by means of wells is being studied, The SCS is also undertaking studies of water­ shed yield and sediment production from grasslands in Arizona and New Mexico. This year, the summary of soil and water research needs in the irrigated West developed by the National Reclamation Association Committees on Research was released as Senate Document 98, providing in one place a,review of our most urgent research needs. Research units of the USDA assisted NRA in surveying needs and developing the program presented, -1- USDA agencies have collaborated with other Federal and State groups in seeking economically feasible means of controlling salt cedar. Early this year an overall program embracing all USDA agency needs to carry on an effective research program was presented to our budget officials. USDA and the Bureau of Reclamation have collaborated to include with­ in the 1954 budget estimates of the Bureau of Reclamation funds for a more effective soil and water research program on irrigated lands. At the U.S. Salinity Laboratory, a major 1952 project bas been complete revision and bringing up to date of the 1947 Manual on Salinity and Alkali Soil Diagnosis and Treatment. At Brawley, California, the new Southwestern Irriga­ tion Research Station of the BPISAE added to its staff this year and is getting research under way. The U.S. Forest Service is going ahead with long-term studies aimed at determining the effects of forest harvesting and management on water yield and sediment production on headwaters of the Colorado River near Fraser. Work with small plots indicates that water yield can be increased 15 percent by proper forest cutting methods. The small plot work is being extended to a whole watershed. At the Sierra Ancha Station in Arizona on the upper Salt River watershed, the Workman Creek Unit is ready for initial timber cutting operations. The flow from this area has been carefully studied over a period of years in its natural state. The effect of timber cutting on water yield and sediment production will now be measured. The Department was given Congressional authority to prepare a coordi­ nated long-range program of agricultural resource development in the Colorado Basin to complement engineering development plans proposed by the Bureau of Reclamation. The authorization was not accompanied by allocation of funds, however, so it has been impossible to inaugurate the program. A special project to restore flood damaged farm and ranch lands in Utah was authorized under Public Law 371 approved by the President June 4, 1952. The Soil Conservation Service and the Production and Marketing Administration are handling the work. Approximately 2-1/4 million dollars bas been granted for the repair of damage in Utah by 1952 floods, largely to irrigation facilities . Upstream flood prevention survey work by the Forest Service and the SCS has been substantially reduced this year in the Pacific Southwest. Con­ gressional action r educed the funds available by nearly $271,000 or 70 percent below the amount available last year. The SCS continues to develop conservation farm plans in cooperation with local State-organized Soil Conservation Districts, and is providing technical supervision of permanent works installed under the PMA program.

    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.

    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.
