East Cache Project, Utah-Idaho

The preliminary draft of the feasibility report was completed
in Novanber and circulated to interested local State and Federal agencies
for informal review. The report was completed without an accompanying
report by the Fish and \hldlife Service, Because of the repayment
assistance needed for the Glendale Division, and which cannot be pro-
vided under present reclamation law, construction of the Glendale
Division is not recommended.

Bear River Project, Utah-Idaho

Detailed land classification field work was carried on in the
NaIad Valley and Both"ell Pocket areas. lni'iltrometers were inst"lled
in the Blue Creek and Hansel Valley areas in preparation for land classi-
fication WJrk next spring. Office work has been primarily concentrated
on project plan fomulation and water supply studies. Tentative results
indicate that all areas extending to and including Curlew Valley are
attractive increments to the project plan, but that the area selected
will be limited by available water supplies.
