Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project. New Mexico-Arizona. Volume I- Planning Report and Final Environmental Impact Statement (Includes Appraisal-Level Alternative Designs and Cost Estimates)

摘要

The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has developed this planning report and final environmental impact statement (PR/FEIS) pursuant to Public Law (P.L.) 92-199 and the general authority to conduct water resources planning under the Reclamation Act of 1902 and all acts amendatory thereof and supplementary thereto. This document was undertaken to provide a discussion on (1) various ways to provide a municipal and industrial (M&I) water supply to the Navajo Nation, city of Gallup, and the Jicarilla Apache Nation and (2) the associated potential environmental impacts and costs of such an endeavor. The Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project (proposed project) authorization was included in the recently enacted Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, Title X, Part III (P.L. 111-11, March 30, 2009).
