<br />Hi <br /> <br /> <br />11 II q () Fio'.; <br />j u \1 \.) .- . <br /> <br />PREFACE <br /> <br />This report presents the water and related land resources <br />manageJMnt plan for the Missouri River Basin. The plan was <br />prepared through the joint efforts of the 23 State, Federal, and <br />interstate members of the Missouri River Basin Commission as well <br />as numerous other water resource aqencies. Chapter 11 contains <br />the final. environmental. impact statement on the plan, which was <br />prepared in accordance. with the National Environmental Policy Act <br />.of 1969. <br /> <br />The purpose of the plan is to serve as a definitive yet <br />flexible guide for the development, conservation, preservation, <br />and management of water and related land resources in the <br />Missouri River Basin. Because the findings in. the plan are the <br />product of extensive interagency and interstate cooperation and <br />collective jUQqment, they are a reliable guide for programming <br />and budgeting for all levels of government. The recommendations <br />are intended to support the Congress, the Federal Government, and <br />States in programming, budgeting, and funding water resources <br />programs and projects in the Missouri River Basin. <br /> <br />The Commission has prepared a separate plan for each of <br />eight subbasins in order to facilitate both the preparation and <br />presentation of the plan. Also included is a set of basinwide <br />and statewide recolDlllendations which should be considered and used <br />in close conjunction with any of the subbasin plans. <br /> <br />The Commission's first basinwide plan was presented in a <br />report published in August 1977 titled Missouri River Basin Water <br />Resources Plan. Since this is an update of the 1977 plan, <br />
