<br />- 3 - <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />General Comments <br /> <br /> <br />The general plan set forth in the report is acceptable to and <br /> <br /> <br />approved by Colorado. Upper Basin hold-over storage ~ust be provided <br /> <br /> <br />to equate the Lee Ferry flows so that the Upper Basin may utilize the <br /> <br /> <br />water apportioned to it by the 1922 Compact "cithout the Upper Division <br /> <br /> <br />States violating their obligation not to deplete the Lee Ferry flow belm~ <br /> <br /> <br />the quantity required by that Compact. The necessity for such storage <br /> <br /> <br />was recognized by the nogotiators of the 1922 Compact and from time to <br /> <br /> <br />time has been recognized by all basin states. Reservoirs which provide <br /> <br /> <br />such hold-over wtll also fill the important role of retaining silt so <br /> <br /> <br />that the usefulness of the great LOwer Basin reservoirs may be prolonged. <br /> <br /> <br />It is indeed fortunate that the cost of these reservoirs may be financed <br /> <br /> <br />through the generation and sale of hydroelectric power which is needed in <br /> <br /> <br />ever increasing quantities. <br /> <br /> <br />Colorado wholeheartedly supports the ~lan to use a portion of the <br /> <br /> <br />power revenues to sup:'ort irriGation projects. In this regard Colorado <br /> <br /> <br />approves the plan of the basin accOunt and of t{;e participating projects. <br /> <br /> <br />Such plan will perr.lit the construction of many dec:il'able consumptive use <br /> <br /> <br />projects '~hich, without the aid from power revenues through the basin <br /> <br /> <br />account, might not be possible of construction. It is gratifying that <br /> <br /> <br />this aid may be obtained and at the same time a reasonable rate be set for <br /> <br /> <br />the sale of power. <br /> <br /> <br />In connection vri th the participating projects Colorado gives general <br /> <br /> <br />approval of the criteria established by the report for the determination <br /> <br /> <br />of the riGht of a project to qualify for aid from the revenues made available <br /> <br />~<>- <br />
