Cimarron River (and Dry Cimarron) New Mexico, Oklahoma, <br />Colorado and Kansas - (See Map 1) - A aurvey - scope study of water <br />resource problems and needs, and development of a comprehensive in- <br />tegrated plan of improvement for the Cimarron Basin. Officc and <br />field studies are complete. The studies show that development of <br />the basin water resources could best be accomplished under a short <br />and long range plan. The short range plan, for projects needed <br />within the next 10 to 15 years, would include the authorized chloride <br />control projects in Areas II, III and IV and a local protection <br />project at Stillwater, Oklahoma. The report found that the de- <br />velopment of the Stillwater local protection project should be ac- <br />complished under section 205 of the 1948 Flood Control Act, as <br />amended. Studies show that Englewood Lake was needed for flood <br />control, irrigation and recreation, and Skeleton Lake was needed <br />for water supply and recreation. Englewood Lake will be re-examined <br />with the chloride control plan for the Arkansas River and there is <br />no Federal interest in Skeleton Lake at this time. The local pro- <br />tection projcct at Stillwater is approved and will be constructed <br />under the small projects authority. Information developed during <br />the study will be included in the survey study of the Arkansas <br />River and tributaries, Great Bend, Kansas, to Tulsa, Oklahoma, <br />which is scheduled for completion in Fiscal Year 1976. <br /> <br />2. Canadian River and Tributaries to Texas-New Mexico State Line <br />New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma (See Map 1) A survey scope study <br />of water resource problems and needs and development of a compre- <br />hensive integrated plan of improvement for the Canadian River <br />Basin. Public meetings were held in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and Dalhart, <br />Texas, on April 23, 1971, and May 5, 1971, respectively, to initiate <br />survey report studies. This study was deferred at the end of Fiscal <br />Year 1973. The study is scheduled to resume in Fiscal Yesr 1976. <br /> <br />3. Central Oklahoma Project (See Map 1) - A survey scope study <br />consisting of two parts: (1) Study to determine the practicability <br />of transbasin water conveyance from Red River Basin reservoirs in <br />southeastern Oklahoma to the Central Oklahoma area; and (2) Studies <br />to determine the feasibility of extending navigation from the <br />McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System to the vicinity <br />of Oklahoma City. Studies of feasibility of the water conveyance <br />portion of the study is scheduled for completion in Fiscal Year <br />1976. The navigation studies were suspended in Fiscal Year 1975 <br />because a preliminary analysis indicated that the navigation ex- <br />tension could not be justified. Arcadia Lake on the Deep Fork, <br />which was a navigation supporting project in a COP plan investi- <br />gated in 1964, was authorized on its own merits in 1970 and now <br />in the preconstruction planning stage. <br /> <br />Soil Conservation Service - Public Law 566 Watersheds: <br /> <br />1.
