Uncompahgre Project The AB Lateral Hydropower Facility (Project) would be funded, built and operated by the Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association (UVWUA) and Montrose Partners. The Project would be constructed under a lease of power privilege (Lease) using existing features of Reclamation's Uncompahgre Project. The 1991 Record of Decision on the Project provided that Reclama- tion would not execute a Lease permitting the Project until a Section 404 Permit was obtained. The Section 404 Permit application for the Project was initially rejected by the Army Corps of Engineers; project sponsors are working on revising the application. Negotiations on the Lease will not be initiated until the 404 Permit is obtained. Uncompahgre Riverway, Inc. is a non-profit organization made up of several community groups promoting the development of a trail. Reclama- tion's role in this project is to identify and coordinate the acquisition of rights- of-way for the trail. 55
