Following the enactment of the Colorado <br /> <br />River storage Project Act of 1956, a final feasibility report was <br /> <br />prepared and submitted to the Congress. The projec~ was authorized <br /> <br />by Congress in 1968 as a participating project of the Colorado River <br /> <br />.storage Project. The Dolores Water conservancy District was organized <br /> <br />in 1961 as the sponsoring, contractual and administering agency for the <br /> <br />project. By resolution dated July 21, 1965, the ute Mountain Tribal <br /> <br />council requested that the ute Mountain ute Indian tribe be included <br /> <br />as a beneficiary of the Dolores project. This request has been accom- <br /> <br />modated. To date, about two million, three hundred thousand dollars <br /> <br />in federal funds have been expended in bringing the Dolores project to <br /> <br />its present status. The project will meet the pressing needs of its <br /> <br />service area. Its unique enhancement of the recreational potential of <br /> <br />the Dolores River canyon and the development of significant Indian <br /> <br />resources have resulted in the project being given a "national urgency" <br /> <br />classification by the Water Resources Congress. <br /> <br />All the evidence available at this time indicates that this <br /> <br />will be a year of severe drought in Colorado. The most productive <br /> <br />areas of the state this year will be those that are served by recla- <br /> <br />mation projects. Those projects are designed to accommodate to <br /> <br />drought periods as nearly as this can be done. The scheduled beginning <br /> <br />of the construction on the Dolores project will be of no use to alleviate <br /> <br />'-. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
