-STATUTE-
In order to initiate the comprehensive development of the water
resources of the Upper Colorado River Basin, for the purposes,
among others, of regulating the flow of the Colorado River, storing
water for beneficial consumptive use, making it possible for the
States of the Upper Basin to utilize, consistently with the
provisions of the Colorado River Compact, the apportionments made
to and among them in the Colorado River Compact and the Upper
Colorado River Basin Compact, respectively, providing for the
reclamation of arid and semiarid land, for the control of floods,
and for the generation of hydroelectric power, as an incident of
the foregoing purposes, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized
(1) to construct, operate, and maintain the following initial units
of the Colorado River storage project, consisting of dams,
reservoirs, powerplants, transmission facilities and appurtenant
works: Wayne N. Aspinall, Flaming Gorge, Navajo (dam and reservoir
only), and Glen Canyon: Provided, That the Wayne N. Aspinall Dam
shall be constructed to a height which will impound not less than
nine hundred and forty thousand acre-feet of water or will create a
reservoir of such greater capacity as can be obtained by a high
waterline located at seven thousand five hundred and twenty feet
above mean sea level, and that construction thereof shall not be
undertaken until the Secretary has, on the basis of further
engineering and economic investigations, reexamined the economic
justification of such unit and, accompanied by appropriate
documentation in the form of a supplemental report, has certified
to the Congress and to the President that, in his judgment, the
benefits of such unit will exceed its costs; and (2) to construct,
operate, and maintain the following additional reclamation projects
(including power-generating and transmission facilities related
thereto), hereinafter referred to as participating projects:
Central Utah (initial phase and the Uintah unit), San Juan-Chama
(initial stage), Emery County, Florida, Hammond, La Barge, Lyman,
Navajo Indian, Paonia (including the Minnesota unit, a dam and

Upon completion of each unit, participating project or separable
feature thereof, the Secretary shall allocate the total costs
(excluding any expenditures authorized by section 620g of this
title) of constructing said unit, project or feature to power,
irrigation, municipal water supply, flood control, navigation, or
any other purposes authorized under reclamation law. Allocations of

participating project is authorized, the costs allocated to
irrigation of Indian-owned tribal or restricted lands within,
under, or served by such project, and beyond the capability of such
lands to repay, shall be determined, and, in recognition of the
fact that assistance to the Navajo Indians is the responsibility of
the entire nation, such costs shall be nonreimbursable. On January
1 of each year the Secretary shall report to the Congress for the
previous fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year 1957, upon the
status of the revenues from, and the cost of, constructing,
operating, and maintaining the Colorado River storage project and
the participating projects. The Secretary's report shall be
prepared to reflect accurately the Federal investment allocated at
that time to power, to irrigation, and to other purposes, the
progress of return and repayment thereon, and the estimated rate of
progress, year by year, in accomplishing full repayment.
