The legislation would also direct Reclamation to do feasibility studies of the enlargement of Pueblo Reservoir and Turquoise Reservoir. These studies will be funded by the PSOP participants. through the Enterprise. The legislation requires that the District agree to the scope-of-work for these studies. Final authorization of the enlargement projects will take separate federal legislation. Efforts are underway to secure support from throughout the state for the proposed legislation.

The Committee felt that the PSOP process should stay focused on meeting the needs of water users within the Southeastern District.
