<br />1764 <br /> <br />YEAR STARTING WITH THE FIRST DAY OF <br />OCTOBER AFTER THE PROJECT SHALL HAVE <br />COMMENCED OPERATION'. <br /> <br />MR. BARNlIRD, SR.: <br /> <br />The reason for the Indian lands <br />provision is that the project report I <br />states that the need is for 50B,000 acre- <br />feet. But there is nothing in their bill <br />which precludes a diversion of a million <br />acre-feet. We want to limit the diver- <br />sion to the Indian lands because there <br />again that is water which will not run down <br />the stream to satisfy the appropriators <br />below Navajo Reservoir." <br /> <br />~Pardon me, Mr. Chairman, can I ask <br />Mr. Sparks a question?" <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br />MR. BARNlIRD, SR.: <br /> <br />"Yes, sir, Mr. Barnard." <br /> <br />"Is that 50B,000 acre-feet diversion <br />applicable to the Indian lands in the State <br />of New Mexico?" <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />~That is correct. It is also appli- <br />cable to any Indian lands, we didn't say <br />where. " <br /> <br />MR. BARNARD, SR.: <br />MR. SPARKS: <br />MR. BARNARD, SR.: <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />dDownstream from Navajo Dam?" <br /> <br />dDownstream or any other place." <br /> <br />dThank: you." <br /> <br />dOf course, it is the upstream diver- <br />sions that are worrying us the most, but <br />we didn't limit it to that - we said diver- <br />sion to Indian lands from the Navajo Reser- <br />voir should not exceed 508,000 acre-feet <br />annually. <br /> <br />You must remember that New Mexico's <br />allocation under the Upper Colorado River <br />Compact is less than 900,000. Isn't <br />that correct, Gi17' <br /> <br />MR. GILDERSLEEVE: <br />MR. EAKES: <br /> <br />"That's correct." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"838 000 based on the total river <br />, <br />flow." <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />"I think: perhaps we should discuss <br />these sections and if you have any comments <br />or any additions, we should hear them." <br />
