There are twelve participating projects authorized under the Colorado Colo-rado Storage Project of which the most important to us is the Central Cen-tral Utah Project. The initial phase of the Central Utah Project as will be shown by the map next week, is mainly concentrated in the Uintah Uin-tah Basin and consists of the Bonneville, Bon-neville, Jensen, Vernal, and Upalco Units. The Bonneville Unit provides for the construction of the necessary neces-sary facilities for the trans-mountain diversion of waters in the Uintah Uin-tah Basin to Utah, Salt Lake, and Juab counties. The Ultimate phase of the Central Ulah project hinges largely on the continued growth along the Wasatch mountain front. It is the most complex and the largest of all the participating projects. pro-jects. Vernal Unit construction is progressing pro-gressing as Stanaker Dam will be completed by January, 1961. Work has started on the Thornburgh Diversion Di-version Dam and the Strawberry aque duct. The storage of Ashley Creek water begins next spring. Comprehensive elements of the Central Utah Project are: (1) Development De-velopment of the Upalco and Jensen Jen-sen units in Uintah Basin. (2); Collection Col-lection and diversion of Uintah mountain waters from the Colorado River Basin to the Bonneville Basin with provision for the supplemental irrigation of presently irrigated lands and the irrigation of new lands. (3); Salvage of Evapo-Tran-spiration from Utah Lake with net gains in available water supply. (4) ; Recovery of surplus waters which will result from the rapid conversion of agricultural to urban ur-ban land usage (tremendous residential resi-dential development on I'rovo Bench, South Salt Lake, Bountiful, and Davis County areas.) (5); Recapture Re-capture and re-use of return flow which will result as the project is placed in operation. (6); Development Develop-ment of ground water supply. (7); Evaluation of and provision for suitable water supply for municipal muni-cipal and industrial use as well as irrigation for agricultural lands. (8); Plans and programs for recreation, recre-ation, fish, and wild life developments, develop-ments, and (9); Organzation of Water Conservancy Districts. The general benefits which is anticipated an-ticipated from the Central Utah Project are: (1) 48,000 acres of new and supplemental irrigated land in the Uintah Basin.
