The State of Wyoming reserves the right to provide to Chev- <br />ron a portion of the 22,500 acre-feet . . . from water devel- <br />oped as part of a salinity control project on the Big Sandy <br />Ri ver . . . <br /> <br />3. Should the State elect to provide a portion of the 22,500 acre- <br />feet . as part of a salinity control project in the Big <br />Sandy River, said water shall be delivered to Chevron at its <br />plant site located in Section 15 (T. 18 N., R. 104 W.) . . . <br />Sweetwater County, Wyoming, or a point mutually acceptable to <br />both parties . . . . <br /> <br />4. Unless otherwise agreed between the State and Chevron, the <br />water delivered from a source on the Big Sandy River shall not <br />exceed 2,000 acre-feet of the first 6,500 acre-feet .. or <br />fifty (50) percent of the total amount of water purchased in <br />excess of 6,500 acre-feet per year. <br /> <br />The State of Wyoming initiated coordination activities with Recla- <br /> <br />mation after the latter issued its Notice of Initiation of Investigation <br /> <br />in October 1980. Several Wyoming agencies involved with the SCS study <br /> <br />and Reclamation field work prior to 1980 had formulated alternative <br /> <br />methods for solving the salinity problems in the Big Sandy area and <br /> <br />wished to coordinate their efforts with Reclamation. <br /> <br />Subsequently, <br /> <br />several Wyoming State agencies, including the Water Development Commis- <br /> <br />sion, were represented on Reclamation's planning team. <br /> <br />Since the Enrolled Act's objectives were parallel to Reclamation's <br /> <br />for the Big Sandy River Unit, but with a much shorter time schedule for <br /> <br />implementation, Reclamation requested a meeting with the State to <br /> <br />discuss the two schedules and to coordinate activities. As a result of <br /> <br />this meeting, a June 1982 Memorandum of Agreement was entered into by <br /> <br />the two parties. The memorandum outlined specific responsibilities each <br /> <br />would have in completing the investigation. <br /> <br />17 <br />
