DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Office of the Assistant Secretary—

Water and Science

Central Utah Project Completion Act

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary—Water and Science,

Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to negotiate an

agreement among the Central Utah

Water Conservancy District (CUWCD),

Sanpete County Water Conservancy

District, Sanpete County, and the

Department of the Interior for

implementation of the Sevier River

Canals Improvement Projects, Sanpete

County, Utah.

SUMMARY: Pub. L. 102–575, Section

206(a)(1) provides: ‘‘After two years

from the date of enactment of this Act,

the District shall, at the option of an

eligible county as provided in paragraph

(2), rebate to such county all of the ad

valorem tax contributions paid by such

county to the District, with interest but

less the value of any benefits received

by such county and less the

administrative expenses incurred by the

District to that date.’’ Sanpete County

desires to pursue local water

development through the Sevier River

Canals Improvement Projects

(Improvement Projects), and is

requesting a rebate of a portion of the ad

valorem taxes it has paid to CUWCD,

plus interest, to provide the required 35

percent local funding for such projects

and a Federal grant of up to 65 percent

of the total costs as authorized by

Section 206(b)(1) of CUPCA.

In a letter dated October 7, 1996,

Sanpete County requested federal

funding, as set forth in Section

206(b)(1), to implement the

Improvement Projects. Section 206(b)(1)

states: ‘‘Upon the request of any eligible

county that elects not to participate in

the project as provided in subsection (a),

the Secretary shall provide as a grant to

such county an amount that, when

matched with the rebate received by

such county, shall constitute 65 percent

of the cost of implementation of

measures identified in paragraph (2).’’

Sanpete County is located within the

Sevier River Basin in Central Utah. The

main stem of the Sevier River passes

through Sanpete County west of the

towns of Centerfield and Gunnison.

Four major canals divert water from the

Sevier River and serve lands in Sanpete

County—Piute, Gunnison-Fayette,

Dover, and Westview. The Project

consists of improving diversion dams on

Westview, Gunnison-Fayette, and Dover

Canals, and gates, culverts, and

overchutes on Piute Canal. A detailed

description of the project is contained in

the ‘‘Sevier River Canals Improvement

Project Feasibility Study’’ dated January

1998 and the associated Categorical

Exclusion checklist No. I.B.20.051 dated

March 12, 1998.

DATES: Dates for public negotiation

sessions will be announced in local

newspapers.
