<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />PROPOSED BLACK CANYON NATIONAL PARK AND <br />SCENIC RECREATION AREA <br /> <br />Proposed Curecanti National Recreation Area <br /> <br />Congressman Strang proposes to designate the Curecanti <br />National Recreation Area as a unit of the Proposed Black Canyon <br />National Park and Scenic Recreation Area. <br /> <br />As a feature of the Colorado River Storage Project Act <br />authorization in 1956, the Curecanti National Recreation Area has <br />been an administrative designation. As part of the Wayne N. <br />Aspinall Storage Project, Curecanti has been operated by the <br />National Park Service under a 1965 cooperative agreement with the <br />Bureau of Reclamation and a 1966 cooperative agreement with the <br />National Forest Service. In 1983, the NPS proposed legislation <br />to affirm those agreements by formal legislative recognition of <br />the Curecanti National Recreation Area and its boundaries. The <br />area encompasses a total of 40,124 acres of federal lands. <br /> <br />***** <br /> <br />~~ <br />~~ <br /># <br />
