Southeastern Colorado Water Activity Enterprise <br />April 19, 2001 <br /> <br />Section 10 - Legislation for <br />Implementation of the PSOP <br /> <br />Federal legislation is needed to begin the implementation process for the PSOP. The <br />Implementation Committee and Enterprise staff have developed proposed legislation for <br />introduction during the 2001 session of Congress. The legislation would grant Reclamation <br />the authority to execute re-operations contracts consistent with the PSOP. The legislation <br />would also direct Reclamation to do feasibility studies of the enlargement of Pueblo <br />Reservoir and Turquoise Reservoir. These studies will be funded by the PSOP participants <br />through the Enterprise, The legislation requires that the District agree to the scope-of-work <br />for these studies. Final authorization of the enlargement projects will take separate federal <br />legislation. <br /> <br />Efforts are underway to secure support from throughout the state for the proposed legislation. <br />Interests on the west slope and in northern Colorado have indicated their support for the <br />legislation. <br /> <br />A copy of the proposed legislation is attached to this report. <br /> <br />23 <br /> <br />9'lOO1 Fin31PSOPRepon <br />
