~~ 4202 the Plan 6 component of the Central Arizona Project. The major portion of the Central Arizona Project costing approximately $3,600,000,000, remains 100% federally financed. .. The up-front financial/cost sharing commitments provided for in the Agreement in Principle not only are in line with the requirements imposed on other projects pursuant to the 1985 Congressional Supplemental Appropriations Act, but they also enable the United States to fulfill its 1968 commitment to build the Animas-La Plata Project at substantial federal savings. Indeed, as we show below, the Agreement in Principle assures that the United States' commitments to the Ute Indians, as well as to the non-Indian citizens of Southwest Colorado and Northwest New Mexico, will be accomplished at substantially lower cost than will the fulfillment of the United States' commitments to the other states in the Colorado River Basin -- particularly Arizona, California, and Utah. The United States has long played a critical role in the resolution of Indian water rights claims relating to the Colorado River. Many Indian Tribes have substantial Winters rights claims to the main stem of the Colorado River and to Colorado River tributaries. The United States has actively assisted both in the quantification of the Indian Winters rights to the rivers and in the development of projects to put the Indian water rights to use. Without such quantification and federal assistance, millions of Southwest citizens would not be able to fully benefit today from the precious waters of the Colorado River. Under the Agreement in Principle the United States is to provide $49,500,000 to the Tribal development funds, and $402,100,000 for the Animas La Plata Project. While these monies are substantial, they are modest in amount when contrasted with the United States commitments to the Central Utah Project and the Central Arizona Project. Indeed, the United States will likely spend nearly $2,000,000,000 on the Central Utah Project and $3,600,000,000 on the Central Arizona Project. In financing 100% of the cost of constructing these two massive projects, the United States will commit substantial funds to Indian water users, particularly in Arizona where as noted above in Part Two, it is anticipated that the United States' contribution to the Central Arizona Project includes nearly $600,000,000 for Arizona Indian Tribes. Furthermore, the federal contributions under the Agreement in Principle compare favorably with federal contributions to recent Colorado River Indian water settlements. Under the 1982 Southern Arizona Water Rights Settlement Act, 96 Stat. 1Z74, involving the Papago Indian Reservation, the United States committed itself to $33,000,000 of Reservation capital expenditures, $73,000,000 of Central Arizona Project allocation, (specifically the Tucson aqueduct bringing water to the Papago Indian Reservation), and future O&M charges of $3,575,000 per 9
