School Road, NW., Albuquerque, NM 

87104. (505) 563–3540. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, 

the United States established a 

reservation for the Zuni Indian Tribe 

(Tribe) in northern Arizona, the Zuni 

Heaven Reservation, for longstanding 

religious and sustenance activities. On 

June 7, 2002, the Tribe and other parties 

entered into the Zuni Indian Tribe 

Water Rights Settlement Agreement 

(Settlement Agreement), a negotiated 

settlement of the water rights for the 

Zuni Heaven Reservation in the General 

Adjudication of All Rights to Use Water 

in the Little Colorado River System and 

Source. The Settlement Agreement 

resolves all of the Tribe’s water rights 

claims in the Arizona portion of the 

Little Colorado River Basin, assists the 

Tribe in acquiring surface water rights 

therein, provides for the Tribe’s use of 

groundwater therefrom and provides for 

wetland restoration of a portion of the 

Tribe’s Arizona lands. 

The purposes of the Settlement Act 

are: 

(1) To approve, ratify, and confirm the 

Settlement Agreement entered into by 

the Tribe and the neighboring nonIndians; 

(2) To authorize and direct the 

Secretary to execute and perform the 

Settlement Agreement and related 

waivers; 

(3) To authorize and direct the United 

States to take legal title and hold such 

title to certain lands in trust for the 

benefit of the Zuni Indian Tribe; and 

(4) To authorize the actions, 

agreements, and appropriations as 

provided for in the Settlement 

Agreement and the Settlement Act. 

In order for terms of the Settlement 

Act and Settlement Agreement to be 

effective, the Secretary is required to 

make a statement of findings that certain 

conditions have been met. 

Statement of Findings 

As required by section 9 of the 

Settlement Act and as required by 

section 3.1.L of the Settlement 

Agreement, I find as follows: 

1. The Settlement Act has been 

enacted in a form approved by the 

parties in paragraph 3.1 of the 

Settlement Agreement. 

2. The funds authorized by section 

4(b) of the Settlement Act have been 

appropriated by the United States and 

deposited into the Zuni Indian Tribe 

Water Rights Development Fund (Fund), 

established under section 6 of the 

Settlement Act. 

3. The State of Arizona has 

appropriated and deposited into the 

Fund the amount required by paragraph 

7.6 of the Settlement Agreement. 

4. The Tribe has waived the 

condition, as provided in paragraph 3.2 

of the Settlement Agreement, that it 

purchase or acquire the rights to 

purchase 2,350 acre-feet per annum of 

surface water rights. 

5. The Tribe has waived the 

condition, as provided in paragraph 3.2 

of the Settlement Agreement, that it 

acquire conditional approval for 

severance and transfer of surface water 

rights that the Tribe owns or has the 

right to purchase. 

6. Pursuant to subparagraph 3.1.E of 

the Settlement Agreement, the Tribe and 

the Lyman Water Company have 

executed two separate agreements 

relating to the process of severance and 

transfer of surface water rights acquired 

by the Tribe or the United States and 

relating to the pass-through, use, and 

storage of the Tribe’s surface water 

rights in Lyman Lake and the operation 

of Lyman Dam. The United States and 

the Arizona Game and Fish Commission 

were also signatories to the severance 

and transfer agreement, and both 

agreements were made in consultation 

with the City of St. Johns, Arizona and 

St. Johns Irrigation Company. The 

Lyman Water Company did not find it 

necessary to amend any operating 

procedures or by-laws in furtherance of 

these agreements.

Agreement. 

10. The Tribe has acquired title to the

Reservation described as Section 34, 

Township 14 North, Range 26 East, Gila 

and Salt River Base and Meridian. 

11. The Settlement Agreement was 

modified to the extent that it was in 

conflict with the Settlement Act and the

the parties to the Settlement Agreement.

has approved the Settlement Agreement 

by a final judgment and decree. 

As authorized by section 4(a) of the 

Act, I find as follows: 

1. Pursuant to subparagraph 3.1.J of 

the Settlement Agreement, the 

Settlement Agreement, as amended, and 

all exhibits requiring signatures have 

been executed. 

As required by paragraph 6.2.B of the 

Settlement Agreement, I hereby certify 

to the Governor of the State of Arizona 

that all of the conditions precedent in 

paragraph 6.2 have been satisfied. 

Dated: December 8, 2006.
