Last week, the Central Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD), with the U.S. Department of Interior as joint lead agency, . released the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Uintah Unit of the Uintah Basin Replacement Project. This is one component of the Central Utah Project Completion Act. The document was prepared to analyze alternatives for the construction con-struction of a combination of features fea-tures that will develop water supplies sup-plies for the Uintah Unit. The features fea-tures include water storage reservoirs, reser-voirs, improved diversion and distribution dis-tribution of water, water conservation, conserva-tion, stabilization of high mountain lakes, instream flows, fish and wildlife mitigation and enhancement, enhance-ment, recreation development, and late retirement. The Proposed Action includes the construction of the Lower Uintah Dam and Reservoir on the Uintah River and several new and replacement replace-ment diversion dams. Some diversion diver-sion dams would be combined, and four diversion dams would be eliminated. elim-inated. Two irrigation canals would be rehabilitated and two pipelines would be built. Five high mountain lakes currently used as storage reservoirs would undergo stabilization stabiliza-tion procedures to enable them to be self-sustaining wilderness lakes. Several enhancements and mitigation miti-gation measures would replace, improve, im-prove, andor enhance fish and wildlife habitat affected by the project. Two sites would be developed devel-oped for recreation, and other existing exist-ing recreation sites would be retired from agricultural production.
