Western
Slope Non-Project Waters
Reclamation properly decided not to analyze Western Slope water
in the DEIS.

The SDS project will not increase the amount
of project water taken from the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project.

By 2046, Colorado Springs Utilities plans to
draw an additional 4,000-6,000 acre-feet of non-project Western
Slope water. This diversion will occur regardless whether the
SDS project is implemented. The effect of diverting this water
has been studied in a biological opinion concerning endangered
species in a 15-mile reach on the Colorado River. |
