  • When the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project Was Authorized by Congress in 1962, A
    • PRELIMINARY DRAFT WINTER WATER STORAGE PROGRAM FR YINGPAN -ARKANSAS PROJECT INTRODUCTION: When the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project was authorized by Congress in 1962, a critical part of the Project provided for the improved management of native waters. Many Members of Congress, particularly those representing States along the Colorado River, indicated they supported the Project because it did incorporate features which would enable owners of decreed water rights in the Arkansas River Basin to better manage their water. They said were it not for the fact that these features were included, and only the introduction of Colorado River water was provided, they would have opposed the Bill. Citizens from Western Colorado still share these feelings. Therefore, one of the key elements of the Project is Pueblo Dam and Reservoir, which will enable owners of decreed rights to impound waters to which they are legally entitled between the dates of November 1 - March 31 each year. These are waters which are otherwise used in their entirety for winter irrigation, or passed on down the River and out of the State, and are forever lost to the owners of those decreed rights. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO WINTER STORAGE: Excerpts from letter from Commissioner of Reclamation Floyd Dominy to Secretary of Interior Stewart L. Udall, December 11, 1964: "Through importation of new water, improved regulation of existing water supplies, and reuse of return flows, the Project will provide an average annual increased canal headgate supply of 163, 100 acre-feet of supplemental irrigation water for a total of 208, 600 acres. These lands are located within the Southeastern Colorado Water Conserv- ancy District, and will be served by existing distribution systems.
