Connnissioner
Bureau of Reclamation

Dear Mr. Sta1lJlll:

This is in response to your request of March 29, 1976, for comments on
the draft environmental statement (DES) for the Colorado River Water
Quality Improvement Program. Pursuant to its responsibilities under
Section 102(2) (C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969"the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has determined that this DES
demonstrates compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966 but that it does not demonstrate compliance
with the provisions of Executive Order 11593, "Protection and Enhancement
of the Cultural Environment" of May 13, 1971, as implemented by the
"Procedures for the Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties" (36
C.F.R. Part 800).

It is noted from our review of the DES that the nureau of Reclamation
(BR) will conduct surveys in advance of any ground disturbing activity
to identify and evaluate cultural resources and will in consultation
with the State Historic Preservation Officer determine their eligibility
for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. In addition
to these prelimina~~ steps in cultural resource management, BR is
reminded that it is required to afford the Council an opportunity to
comme~t on the undertaking pursuant to Section 2(b) of Executive Order
11593, if any cultural property determined eligible for inclusion in
the National Register will be affected by the proposed undertaking.

Should you have any questions or require any assistance on this matter,
please contact Brit Allan Storey of the Advisory Council's staff at
(FTS) 234-4946 or at P. O. Box 25085, Denver, Colorado 80225.

Sincerely yours,

m;j.~.I i ~~,,.J~
