<br />3. The Navajo Nation <br />The Navajo Nation submitted a proposal to the participants in the Romer/Schoettler <br /> <br /> <br />Process, to consider the option of using the existing storage at Navajo Reservoir (see Appendix) <br /> <br /> <br />for their 7,600 acre feet of project water. This option eliminates the construction costs and <br /> <br /> <br />operating and maintenance costs associated with both ALP and ALP Lite without detriment to the <br /> <br /> <br />Navajo Nation. <br />IV. CONCLUSION <br /> <br />This alternative presents one realistic, market-driven means of satisfying obligations to the <br /> <br /> <br />Ute Mountain Ute and Southern Ute Tribes, and respecting the desire of the Tribes for "wet <br /> <br /> <br />water." Many other options to ALP and "ALP Lite" exist, including more modest structural <br /> <br /> <br />measures that do not require enormous use of power and other resources, use of creative means <br /> <br /> <br />to return to the Tribes the benefits to society ofIeaving water in the streams, and other means of <br /> <br /> <br />creation of value for the Tribes. Some of these include: <br /> <br /> <br />. Leasing water to be left in the river for conservation purposes, as has been done by the Ute <br /> <br /> <br />Mountain Utes with some of their Dolores Project water <br /> <br />. Creating a cultural center or other desired cultural facilities for the Tribes <br /> <br /> <br />. Using existing opportunities for water conservation, as set out in the 1995 Hydrosphere <br /> <br /> <br />Report <br /> <br /> <br />. Undertaking land exchanges with the federal government in appropriate areas, such as to <br /> <br /> <br />consolidate reservation lands <br /> <br /> <br />. Exploring the use of other options such as Jackson Reservoir on the Mancos or other sites <br /> <br /> <br />. Compensation to appropriate parties for a range of instream flow values <br /> <br />13 <br />
