<br />durinq the summer of 1984. Work on the transmission facilities environmen- <br />tal statement is currently in progress. We do not foresee any del ays in <br />the project caused by waiting to obtain compl i ance with the National <br />Environmental Policy Act. <br /> <br />The water supply for the Di CI1Iond Fork Power System is essenti ally deve- <br />loped. All of the major features of the Strawberry Aqueduct and Collection <br />System are either completed or under construction with the exception of the <br />0.8-mile-long North Fork Siphon. Construction on that feature is scheduled <br />to begin in 1984. On June 17, 1965, the State Engineer approved <br />ReclCl1lation's Application No. 36639 which appropriates up to 500,000 acre- <br />feet of water from the Strawberry and Duchesne Rivers for storage in <br />Starvation Reservoir and from sources along the Strawberry Aqueduct for <br />storage in Strawberry Reservoir. This application has a priority date of <br />November 19, 1964, (12:00 noon). No further approvals are required. <br /> <br />Construction of the Di amond Fork Power System would create approximately <br />22,230 jobS (person years) in direct and indirect employment during the <br />construction period. Most of the money from construction workers' paychecks <br />would be spent in Utah County, particul arly in the cities of Provo and <br />Orem, which would create a substanti al economic stimulus that would help <br />offset other negative soci al impacts to the area. <br /> <br />The Bureau of ReclCl1lation has had over 80 years experience in developing <br />engineering techniques which have enabled it to build some of the world's <br />finest, most innovative water projects. ReclCl1lation's enginering expertise <br />has earned the agency a worldwide reputation for excellence in design. <br />construction, operation and maintenance. Advanced designs using state- <br />of-the-art engineering are a Reclamation tradition which are borne out in <br />such structures as Hoover, Grand Coulee, and Morrow Point DCI1Is. Reclama- <br />tion engineers and construction managers are prepared to design and con- <br />struct the DiCl1lond Fork Power System. <br /> <br />ReclCl1lation is proud of its record in the past; and feels that your organi- <br />zation would want no less than the best advice possible. Our structures <br />and the service they give to the nation speak for themselves, as does the <br />quality of the work we do. It is our sincere hope that you will take <br />advantage of the services available to you through the Bureau of <br />Recl CI1Iation. <br /> <br />33 <br />
