<br />None of the PIck-Sloan irrigsfion pro-
<br />jecrs has been carried out in Nortll Da-
<br />kota, said Vernon Fahy, Nonh Dakota
<br />Water Commission engineer. "Not one
<br />acre has been Irngated."
<br />Crews said he thinks {here IS enough
<br />water for some upstream projects"But
<br />he said he is reluctant to go along with
<br />"taxpayers subsidizing the construction
<br />of projects to imgale com that would
<br />compete with our (Iowa's) com,"
<br />The imeres\s of Kansas might seem
<br />to he with the downstream srales.-But
<br />Kansas has stayed neutral, S8.ld Allyn
<br />Lockner, Kansas Water Q[flce director.
<br />He said he believes {he states "will
<br />rediscover lhat there are more inter-
<br />ests thaI bind the (MIssouri River 8a-
<br />sm) states together than separate
<br />lhem."
<br />He said, however, he recogfnzes thai
<br />finding a solution 10 the present contro-
<br />versy won't be.easy.
<br />Battle Carried
<br />Into Congress
<br />By Mary Kay Quinlan
<br />WORLD-HERALD BUREAU
<br />
<br />Washington - For members of Con-
<br />gress from the MJdlandS and the West,
<br />protecting stale waler rights is a chIef
<br />concern.
<br />The Senate's Energy and Natural
<br />Resourees Committee will hold hear.
<br />ings June 8 on whether langua~e in a
<br />pending coal sluny pipeline bIll pro-
<br />vides ironclad protection for stale wa.
<br />lernghts.
<br />The commltlee WIll deal primanly
<br />WIth constitutionall[y. A panel of consti-
<br />tutional law eKpens and .....ater la..... ex-
<br />perts will be inVIted 10 teStIfy, .
<br />At a hearing on coal slurry legIslation
<br />last week. Committee Chairman James
<br />McClure, R-Iclaho, saJd that "senators
<br />must be assured tholt .....ater rights
<br />wj]] remain fully protected."
<br />Sen. Malcolm Wallop, R-Wyo., who
<br />will chaIr next month's hearmg, said
<br />the bjIJ should make clear that "a state
<br />has lhe unfeuered right to hterally kill
<br />a coal sJurry pipeline, ..
<br />The pending legislauon would grant
<br />federal po.....er of eminent domam to
<br />developers of pipelines that would car.
<br />ry a mixture of pulvenzed coal and wa-
<br />ter from the mmes to coat users.
<br />BIlls now before Congress say the
<br />power of emment domain could not be
<br />used toobffim waler rIghts.
<br />Howe...er, slurry Ime optx)nems say
<br />that after a Ime is in operation the
<br />ConstitutIon's commerce clause would
<br />prevent a state from cuttmg oH the wa.
<br />ter because such an act would interfere
<br />WIth mterstate commerce.
<br />Wallop said a slurry bill must "be
<br />crafted to leave nothing to the Imagm.
<br />atlon of any Court 111 this land, so that
<br />nothing m thiS legislation shall be
<br />construed as an infnngement upOn. . .
<br />the right of a Slale 10 control and direct
<br />the use of its water."
<br />In the House, Reps. Doug Bereuter or
<br />Utica and Berkley Bedell. D.10.....a, are
<br />chief sponsors of a bill that would prohl-
<br />bl! a Slate from selling interstate water
<br />For use outside the state unless there
<br />was a paCI under whJch alt the aHected
