DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Notice of Intent To Negotiate an Agreement Between the Central
Utah Water Conservancy District and Department of the Interior for
Construction of the Alpine Aqueduct Reach 3 Raw Water Bypass Pipeline,
Utah County, UT
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary--Water and Science,
Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent to negotiate an agreement between the Central
Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD) and Department of the Interior
(Interior) for construction of the Alpine Aqueduct Reach 3 Raw Water
Bypass Pipeline, Utah County, Utah.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under repayment contract No. 14-06-400-4286, dated December
28, 1965, as amended and supplemented, the United States and CUWCD
agreed to the terms and conditions for the delivery of project water
from the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project. The project
purposes for the Bonneville Unit include but are not limited to,
irrigation, municipal and industrial, water conservation, water
efficiency improvements, fish and wildlife, and recreation. As part of
the Bonneville Unit, the Alpine Aqueduct System was constructed to
convey Project municipal and industrial water to North Utah County.
CUWCD is under contract for the operation and maintenance of Alpine
Aqueduct System. Since treated Project water is not yet available for
delivery through the Alpine Aqueduct, CUWCD intends to use Alpine
Aqueduct Reach 3 to deliver untreated raw water. To deliver the raw
water, a pipeline must be constructed to bypass the Utah Valley Water
Purification Plant. This bypass pipeline, will be approximately 2,030
feet in length, up to 60 inches in diameter, and will connect Alpine
Aqueduct Reach 1 to Alpine Aqueduct Reach 3, which will enable the
delivery of the untreated municipal and industrial water to the North
Utah County communities.
When construction of the bypass pipeline is completed it will
become a CUP Project feature and title will be in the name of the
United States. National Environmental Policy Act compliance will be
completed by Interior.
DATES: Dates for public negotiation sessions will be announced in local
newspapers.
