2010-575. Central Utah Project Completion Act

AGENCY:

Department of the Interior, Office of the Assistant Secretary—Water and Science.

ACTION:

Notice of Availability, Draft Environmental Assessment (Draft EA), Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project Recycled Water Project.

SUMMARY:

Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, the Department of the Interior and the Central Utah Water Conservancy District are evaluating the impacts of the proposed project.

This project anticipates conveying recycled water in the facilities of the Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project (WCWEP), Bonneville Unit, Central Utah Project (CUP). It would provide an opportunity for more effective and efficient management of water, make efficient use of recycled water, provide opportunities for stream and wetland benefits, and encourage the conservation and wise use of water, all of which are objectives of the CUP Completion Act.

The proposed action would allow recycled water to be conveyed and used in WCWEP facilities and through exchange become CUP water. All water supply commitments under the existing contracts and agreements will continue to be met.
