CIMARRON AND CANADIAN RIVER BASINS

24, Cimarron River and (Dry Cimarron), NM, OK, CO, & KS
STATUS: Office and field studies are complete. The studies showed that devel-
opment of the basin water resources could be accomplished under a short-and
long-range plan. The short-range plan, for projects needed within the next 10
to 15 years, would include the authorized chloride control projects in Areas II,
III, and IV, and a local protection project at Stillwater, Oklahoma. The report
found that the development of the Stillwater local protection project should be
accomplished under Section 205 of the 1948 Flood Control Act, as amended.
Studies show that Englewood Lake was needed for flood control, irrigation, and
recreation. Englewood Lake was reexamined as a part of the chloride control
plan for the Arkansas River. The Arkansas River Basin Chloride Control Project
is not economically feasible at this time, and further study is being deferred
(see item 38). There is no Federal interest in Skeleton Lake at this time. The
local protection project at Stillwater was approved for construction under the
small projects authority (See item 44). Information developed during the study
will be included in the survey study of the Arkansas River and Tributaries,
Great Bend, Kansas, to Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is scheduled for completion in FY
87 (See item 55).

DESCRIPTION: (TD)
and development of
River Basin.

Survey-scope study of water resources problems and needs,
a comprehensive integrated plan of improvement for Cimarron

SPONSOR: N/A

25, Central Oklahoma Project, OK
STATUS: Studies of feasibility of the water conveyance facilities were sus-
pended in FY 78 pending receipt of assurances of local cooperation. The water
conveyance portion of the study was being coordinated with the Oklahoma Compre-
hensive Water Plan. The Oklahoma Water Resources Board has requested that the
COP study be resumed because it would be a major component of the state plan.
The navigation studies were suspended in FY 75 because a preliminary analysis
indicated that the navigation extension would not be economically justified.
Arcadia Lake on the Deep Fork River, which was a navigation supporting project
in a COP plan investigated in 1964, was authorized on its own merits in 1970,
reauthorized to delete water quality and add water supply as a project purpose,
and is now under construction.

DESCRIPTION: (TD) Survey-scope study consisting of two parts: (1) study to
determine the practicability of trans basin water conveyance from Red River Basin
reservoirs in southeastern Oklahoma to the central Oklahoma area; and (2)
studies to determine the feasibility of extending navigation from the
McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System to the vicinity of Oklahoma
City.
