<br /> <br />CHAPTER I--INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />PURPOSE <br /> <br />The Narrows Unit was included in the President's review of water <br />resource development projects for his 1978 budget. The Department <br />of the Interior's review team recommended that funds for continued <br />construction of the Narrows Unit be deleted from the fiscal year 1978 <br />budget pending further investigation of the five unresolved issues. <br /> <br />The Bureau of Reclamation was directed to carry out investigations of the <br />"",.Jlnresolved issues, Some of which were already being studied at the time <br />of the President's review. <br /> <br />The purpose of this report is to present the results of these additional <br />studies. The intent of these studies is to develop additional information <br />that would assist in making a determination on whether Or not to recommend <br />continuing funding for construction of the project. If funds are allocated <br />for construction, more detailed design studies, management plans, and <br />operating principles will be developed. <br /> <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />The Narrows Unit of the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program was authorized <br />by Public law 91-389 in 1970. as a multiple-purpose water resourCe <br />development project.
