<br />for a review of the state of the art at regular intervals and the <br /> <br />installation of any new or improved pollution control facilities <br /> <br />i <br /> <br />~\ <br /> <br />we have some degree of contractual responsibility. <br /> <br />Court Actions <br /> <br />'Despite these efforts we have been named in two court actions <br /> <br />seeking to stop our operations and we are threatened <br /> <br />with a court action in a third. One is to prohibit intrusion of <br /> <br />Lake powell into Rainbow Bridge National Monument. The other court <br /> <br />action would stop construction of the Peripheral Canal in the Delta <br /> <br />'\ <br />i <br /> <br />of California's Central Valley, even though this project has not yet <br /> <br />even been considered for authorization, let alone construction. It <br /> <br />would also block the Eastside Canal and the San Luis Drain and stop the oumpin~ <br /> <br />operations of the Central Valley project and the State Water Plan. <br /> <br />/ <br /> <br />Since they are before the court it is not my purpose to comment <br /> <br />on these actions other than to point out that irreparable damage will <br /> <br />~" <br />\ <br /> <br />result if either suit is successful. We have obtained and have carried <br /> <br />out the suggestions of highly qualified specialists in environmental <br /> <br />protection in these instances as in other areas of Bureau of Reclamation <br /> <br />operations. <br /> <br />We believe we are on the right track in environmental protection <br /> <br />I~/,' <br />I' , <br />. <br /> <br />and enhancement measures which findings of the court can substantiate. <br /> <br />Nevertheless, actions of this kind can create damaging operational <br /> <br />delays and create wrong and unfavorable impressions in the public mind <br /> <br />which roake your consideration of resource utilization proposals more <br /> <br />difficult. <br /> <br />K 3114 <br /> <br />K <br />12 <br /> <br />K <br /> <br />~ <br />
