Reclamation has <br />initiated the National Enviromnenta1 Policy Act process and has solicited eomments on the <br />development of specific surplus criteria for management of the Colomdo River in a Federal Register <br />Notice on May 18, 1999 (64 Fed. Reg., No. 95, p. 27008). Rt"l.m.rion continues to work on the <br />developmeut of specific surplus criteria. <br /> <br />Any Lower Division State will be allowed to use WB1er apportioned to, but unused by, another Lower <br />Division State in accordance with Article n(B)(6) of the decree in Arizona v. California. <br /> <br />11 is my intention that Glen Canyon Dam will be operated on a long-tcmJ. basis in confonnance with <br />the objectives of the BeachlHabitllt Building Flow descnDed in the Record ofDccision for the Glen <br />Canyon Dam Final EnviromcntaI Impact Statement. <br /> <br />Antieipated increases in the use of Colorado River water dictate 1hat the efficient use of water must <br />be a priority to properly manage the resource. Consultations concerning waterconservationmeilSUlCs <br />and operating practices may be carried out under Title 43 CFR Part 417, Procedural Methods for <br />Implementing Colorado River Wamc Conservation Measures with Lower Basin CoolJ3Ctors and <br />Others. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />?~~ <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Enclosure <br />
