Letters to President Carter are needed now in support of this courageous <br />move toward stopping wasteful and destructive water projects. Many members of Congress <br />are furious that their sacred projects have been cut and the dam builders are mobi- <br />lizing to override the President. Conservationists snd other taxpayers have been <br />working for years for a complete reassessment of bad federal water projects and reform <br />in the Bureau of Reclamation and Corps of Engineers. This could be the best chance <br />and perhaps the last chance we will have for a long, long time. Please write or send <br />a telegram now to: <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />The Honorable Jimmy Carter <br />c/o Frank Moore <br />The White House <br />1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. <br />Washington, D,C. 20006 <br /> <br />Send a copy to your Senators and Congressmen. <br /> <br />*The Colorado Pr01ects <br /> <br />A group of conservation organizations including Colorado Trout Unlimited, the <br />Environmental Defense Fund, the Colorado Open Space Council, the Wilderness Society <br />and Sierra Club, have asked for a comprehensive review of the Colorado River Storage <br />Project (CRSP) which is made up of some twenty. four component projects in the Colo- <br />rado River Basin including the three mentioned above. Many of the twenty-four <br />projects have already been constructed and construction of the remaining components, <br />including seven within the state of Colorado, would change the whole character of <br />the Colorado River and would have considerable adverse and interrelated environ- <br />mental impacts. These seven projects include Animas-La Plata, Dolores, Dallas Creek, <br />Fruitland Mesa, San Miguel, West Divide and Savery-Pot Hook. <br /> <br />Copied:CWCB:tam <br />
