Senator Moss and Governor Rampton met with the Secretary in the afternoon and discussed the Central Utah Project, project. Concessionaires in National Parks in Utah, water use in the state, and tar sands development. The primary thrust of the discussion was to bring the Secretary up to date on these problems to provide him withinformationon which to base a review on Utah matters. One of the problems of the Central Utah Project broughtto the attention of the Secretary is the water right of the Uintah and Ouray Indians. Governor Rampton said he would seek a state determination of the water to be set aside for Indian use. Concerning the Kaiparowits' project, Secretary Hathaway was told of the generally agreed location for the plant at Nipple Bench. Senator Moss also explained that Kaiparowits had recently received priority consideration by the President and Federal Energy Administrator Frank Zarb to get the latest environment Impact statement completed so construction Kai-paro- could begin. Recognizing that national paries must Include some accommodation for tourists by way of lodging and service facilities, Senator Moss and Governor Rampton emphasized the need to review National Park Service policy on concessionaires and, in the case of Zion and Bryce National Parks in Utah, Initiate a moratorium on the proposed removal of the current concessionaires until the environmental and economic Impact studies had been completed, The Senator and the Governor reminded Secretary that surrounding Hathaway towns were not prepared to provide utility and personal services required by tourists and that the parks would become a area resulting in greatly reduced tourist economy to the state. drive-throu- gh Senator Frank E. (Ted) Moss says there is a growing fear that an water war may be evolving between agricultural and energy Tar sands was another topic reviewed for the Secretary and he was requested to expedite a pending legal opinion from the Solicitors office on whether the development of petroleum from tar sands can be accomplished under the existing oil and gas leases for Federal lands. Until that opinion is issued, tar sands development in Utah on Federal lands is stymied. Secretary Hathaway expressed his appreciation for the update information and promised review of the matters so he can become more readily involved in decisions. He made the observation in a prepared statement entered for the hearing record of the UJS. Water Resources Councils discussion on the "Water for Energy" program.

Saturday and Sunday a total of 1.23 Inches of rainfall was recorded by Sterling Johnson, Kanab weather observer, and it came in relatively short periods of time on the two days, caus. lng some flooding, A few basements were reported as having been flooded and some storm drains were unable to handle the sudden increase of water causing flooding in yards and gardens. Rainfall this water year (which began last October) indicates definite upswing at this point. In 1973-7- 4 through July, Kanab had received 6.32 Inches, while readings to July 15 this water year shows 15.17 Inches, well above average. Average rainfall over the years is be. tween 12 and 13 Inches per year. Highest month thus far this water year was October, when we received 3.32 inches. The lowest this year thus far was June with .33 inch. Last water year May was low with .02 and January was high with 2.77 In- ches. The month with the highest average over the year is January with 1.44 Inches followed by August with 1.43 Inches.

He emphasized that, while this arithmetic stows a balance of unused water at this time in accordance with the compact entitlement for Utah, it does not mean that water is waiting for a potential energy developer to step up and use it.
