January 10, 2020 Dear Mr. Baxter
Comments sent via email: [email protected] January 10, 2020 Mr. Rick Baxter Program Manager Bureau of Reclamation Provo Area Office 302 East Lakeview Parkway Provo, Utah 84606 RE: Bureau of Reclamation [RR04963000, XXXR0680R1, RR.17549661.1000000] Notice of Intent to Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Lake Powell Pipeline project Dear Mr. Baxter, Please accept and fully consider these scoping comments from the Lake Powell Pipeline Coalition (Coalition) on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Lake Powell Pipeline project (LPP). The Coalition appreciates the opportunity to comment on DEIS. The Coalition consists of: Conserve Southwest Utah, Glen Canyon Institute, Wild Arizona, Grand Canyon Chapter Sierra Club, Utah Chapter Sierra Club, The Wilderness Society, The Rewilding Institute, Grand Staircase Escalante Partners, Great Basin Water Network, Utah Rivers Council, Utah Audubon Council,Center for Biological Diversity and Living Rivers Colorado Riverkeeper. Some of the Coalition members have been studying and commenting on the LPP for over eleven years. The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) said they would use the Federal Regulatory Energy Commission's (FERC) studies for the DEIS and will update them with current information. Over the past eleven years the Coalition has given very details comments outlining the flaws in the FERC’s studies. BOR recommended we resubmit our comments for this new process. Therefore, we will submit our past comments on the project separately in Appendix A. The comments are also posted on FERC’s website under elibrary Docket Number P- 12966. The elibrary web site is where all the FERC comments on the project are filed.

This compact pro vides for division of river water between the Upper and Lower basins, with each basin granted 7Y2 million acre-feet each year. Upper Basin States are Colorado, New Mex ico, Utah and Wyoming. Lower Basin States are Arizona, Nevada and California. (A small portion of Arizona is in the Upper Basin, and small areas within two Upper Basin states-Utah and New Mexico-are in the Lower Basin.) The Project In 1948 a compact dividing the water The Colorado River Storage Project, as allocated to the Upper Basin States was authorized by Public Law 485, 84th Congress, negotiated by these states.

The Central Utah Project
The Central Utah Project Introduction The Central Utah Project ("CUP") has been in formal existence for over 3 decades and will provide part of the water supply for Salt Lake City's future needs. On May 16, 1986 the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake City ("MWDSLC") gained an approved petition for 20,000 acre-feet of project water to be delivered beginning in the year 2005, in 4,000 acre-foot increments over a 5year period until the full 20,000 is delivered. In 1990 Sandy City was annexed into MWDSLC and the 20,000 acre-feet of CUP water will be used to meet both of the cities' future water supply requirements. The CUP has been controversial at times, and in recent years has changed, reflecting changing environmental and political times. Nevertheless, the project will play a significant role in meeting the future water supply needs of Salt Lake County. History of the Project • Purpose of the Project The CUP is a water resource development project that provides water supplies to the central portion of the state of Utah. It was authorized under the Colorado River Storage Act of April 11, 1956, with planning and construction initially by the Bureau of Reclamation ("BuRec"). The CUP diverts a portion of Utah’s 23 percent share of the Upper Basin of the Colorado River to originally a 12 county area within Utah (Millard and Sevier Counties have since withdrawn from the district, reducing the number of counties to10). Project features divert water from the southern slopes of the Uinta Mountains and the Colorado River to the Wasatch Front through a collection system consisting of a series of aqueducts, tunnels and dams.

Public Scoping Summary July 2020 Page 1 PUBLIC SCOPING SUMMARY
Public Scoping Summary July 2020 Page 1 PUBLIC SCOPING SUMMARY DIAMOND FORK SYSTEM ENVIRONMENTAL UPDATE PROJECT PROJECT OVERVIEW The Central Utah Water Conservancy District (District), the U.S. Department of the Interior, Central Utah Project Completion Act Office, and the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission, as Joint Lead Agencies (JLAs), are proposing to update the Diamond Fork System of the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project. The proposed project, the Diamond Fork System Environmental Update Project (Diamond Fork Project, or project), involves Sixth Water Creek and Diamond Fork Creek located in Diamond Fork Canyon and the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Utah County, Utah. An environmental assessment (EA) is being prepared to disclose and analyze the potential impacts of the updates to the Diamond Fork System as well as to inform the public of the project. The EA is being led by the District. It will assist the JLAs in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and in determining whether any significant impacts could result from the analyzed actions. The Proposed Action would consist of adjusting instream flow deliveries to Sixth Water and Diamond Fork Creeks, revising the inspection and maintenance schedule of the Diamond Fork System, and preventing the continuous corrosion of the Upper Diamond Fork Flow Control Structure from nearby hydrogen sulfide springs. Additional information about the Proposed Action can be found in the scoping document in Attachment A. NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT SCOPING PURPOSE AND GOALS NEPA regulations for scoping in 40 Code of Federal Regulations 1501.7 state “There should be an early and open process for determining the scope of issues to be addressed and for identifying the significant issues related to a proposed action.” The purpose of scoping is to obtain information that will focus the NEPA analysis on the potentially significant environmental issues and de-emphasize insignificant issues.

Payoff Soars in Basin Project
Reclamation grows in Colorado basin PAYOFF SOARS IN BASIN PROJECT HE Colorado River Storage Project has achieved outstanding progress since it began Toperation in 1963. Assets of the project had reached a total of $837.2 million as of June 30, 1969. Gross revenues during fiscal 1969 amounted to $21.9 million. In view of these figures, the project's future pro duction holds high promise for people in many fields of endeavor. Large popu}ations of seven States are directly or indirectly benefitted by the CRSP. The seven favorably affected are Arizona, California, Colo rado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. This multipurpose project delivers electric power for homes and industries, and water for both metropolitan and farm uses. The construction includes facilities for extensive lake recreation, and enhancement of fish and wildlife. Last year four powerplants at CRSP dams gen erated sufficient power during periods of heavy customer use to meet the equivalent full-day needs of more than 800,000 homes. Actual revenues from power sales in fiscal 1969 totaled a significant $19.8 million-income from 4 billion kilowatt-hours of generation. The powerplants are at four dams, Glen Canyon, Ariz.; Flaming Gorge, Utah; Blue Mesa, Colo.; and Fontenelle, Wyo. Seventy-five percent of the power produced on the project took place at Glen Canyon Dam where eight large turbines operate. This facility gen erated. 3 billion kilowatt-hours. Other power was from Flaming Gorge with 684 million kwh; Blue Mesa with 258 million kwh; and Fontenelle with 67 million kwh. Arizona was the highest user of CRSP power at 37.7 percent.
