NAVAJO IRRIGATION AND SAN JUAN-CHAMA PROJECTS, NEW MEXICO


MARCH 22, 1961.--Ordered to be printed


Mr. ANDERSON, from the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany S. 107]

The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, to whom was referred the bill (S. 107) to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to construct, operate, and maintain the Navajo Indian irrigation project and the initial stage of the San Juan-Chama project as participating projects of the Colorado River storage project, and for other purposes, having considered the same, report favorably thereon with amendments and recommend that the bill as amended do pass.

SPONSORS OF THE BILL

S. 107 is sponsored by Senator Anderson, for himself and his colleague from New Mexico (Senator Chavez).

In recommending that S. 107, as amended, do pass, the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs summarizes its findings, as follows:

1.That the Navajo Indian irrigation project and the San Juan-Chama diversion project (initial stage) have economic and engineering feasibility to the extent that justifies their construction, operation, and maintenance as participating projects of the Colorado River storage project authorized by the act of April 11, 1956 (70 Stat. 105).
2.That the Navajo Indian irrigation and San Juan-Chama diversion projects will furnish water for irrigation of irrigable and arable lands, municipal, domestic, and industrial uses; provide recreation, fish and wildlife benefits; control silt; and have other beneficial uses.
3.That the Navajo Indian irrigation project is a sound and logical development to utilize for irrigation, industrial, and municipal purposes waters of the San Juan River to be stored at Navajo Dam and Reservoir, now under construction and to be completed in 1963. In addition, the project will provide a livelihood directly and indirectly for approximately 17,000 Navajo Indians through 110,000 acres of irrigated land, a substantial segment of the 80,000 members of the tribe, as well as supplemental municipal supplies for Farmington, Gallup, and other communities.
4.That the two projects will directly and indirectly benefit more than one-half of the population of the State of New Mexico which by 1970 is expected to exceed 1 million persons.
5.That the combined average annual stream depletion of the two projects as proposed for authorization totaling 362,300 acre-feet, together with existing and other authorized uses, will keep New Mexico's authorized draft on the Colorado River system well within the State's average annual entitlement estimated at 838,000 acre-feet.
6.That the initial phase of the San Juan-Chama diversion will assure means of providing water for irrigation, for existing developments and urgently needed additional municipal and industrial supplies available for the city of Albuquerque and defense installations.
7.That the rights of all other States in the waters of the Colorado River system, in the Rio Grande, and all other affected streams are fully protected, and that the two developments proposed to be authorized impinge in no way on these rights of any State.
8.That the authorizations of the Navajo irrigation and San Juan-Chama developments were contemplated when the Congress enacted the Colorado River Storage Act, approved by the President on April 11, 1956, provided economic and engineering feasibility was established. The feasibility is established by the approval and adoption by the Secretary of the Interior on October 16, 1957, of the coordinated report of the Bureau of Reclamation and Office of Indian Affairs.

SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS OF S. 107 AS AMENDED

Section 1 gives approval as participating projects of the Colorado River storage project to the Navajo Indian irrigation project, New Mexico, and the San Juan-Chama project, Colorado-New Mexico, and lists the principal engineering works of each development. It states that approval is given to the two participating projects substantially as described in the coordinated report of the Bureau of Reclamation and Office of Indian Affairs approved and adopted by the Secretary of the Interior on October 16, 1957. The purposes of the projects are furnishing water for irrigation of irrigable and arable lands, municipal, domestic, and industrial uses; providing recreation, fish and wildlife benefits; controlling silt; and for other beneficial purposes.

Section 2 authorizes the Secretary to construct, operate, and maintain the Navajo Indian irrigation project for the principal purpose of furnishing irrigation water to 110,630 acres of land with an average annual diversion of 508,000 acre-feet of water. Repayment of construction costs are to be in accordance with the Colorado River Storage Project Act of April 11, 1956 (70 Stat. 105).

The upper Colorado River Storage Project Act provides that construction costs beyond the payment capability of the land shall be nonreimbursable as a measure of assistance to the Navajo Indians. Repayment of construction costs within the capability of the lands is deferred so long as the lands remain in Indian ownership in accord with the so-called Leavitt Act of July 1, 1932 (47 Stat. 564).

Section 3 authorizes the acquisition of off-reservation public lands in the South San Juan division to be included in the project. This arrangement is essential to providing 110,630 acres of irrigable land for the development.

4. Section 4 authorizes capacity in the Navajo project works for municipal and industrial or miscellaneous purposes. Repayment contracts are required in advance of construction or appropriations.

Section 5 provides for payment of operation and maintenance charges in accordance with existing law. Provision is made for transfer of operation and maintenance to the Navajo Indian Tribe.

SAN JUAN-CHAMA AUTHORIZATION

Section 6 authorizes the construction, operation, and maintenance of the initial stage of the San Juan-Chama project for the principal purposes of furnishing supplemental water supplies to approximately 39,300 acres of land in Cerro, Taos, Llano, and Pojoaque tributary irrigation units in the Rio Grande Basin, about 81,600 acres of land in the existing Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District, and municipal, domestic, and industrial uses, and providing recreation and fish and wildlife benefits.

The average annual diversion of the initial stage is limited to 110,000 acre-feet. The principal engineering works are described.

A proviso sets forth stream-gaging details to be agreed upon by the States of New mexico and Texas.

The section also authorizes the Secretary to construct certain facilities to provide for additional capacity for the future diversion of a total of 235,000 acre-feet.

Section 7 provides a method for sharing shortages in connection with the operation of the Navajo Indian and San Juan-Chama projects. Adequate protection for all authorized diverters is sought by the amendment.

Subsection 7(c) provides that the other provisions of section 7 shall not be applicable to the water requirements of the existing Fruitland, Hogback, Cudai, and Cambridge Indian irrigation projects, nor to the water required in connection with the extension of the irrigated acreages of the Fruitland and Hogback Indian irrigation projects in a total amount of approximately 11,000 acres.

Subsection 8(a) prohibits the Secretary of the Interior from servicing any preferential water right of the United States or Indian tribe through the facilities created by this act.

Subsection 8(b) limits the use of Upper Colorado River Basin compact water in New Mexico and Arizona to the percentage and amount allocated to the two States.

Section 9 requires the Secretary of the Interior, in the operation and maintenance of all facilities, to conform where applicable to the provisions of the Colorado River compact, the Upper Colorado River Basin compact, the Boulder Canyon Project Act, the Boulder Canyon Project Adjustment Act, and the treaty with the United Mexican States, in the storage and release of waters from reservoirs in the Colorado River Basin, and provides recourse to the respective States in the event of his failure to do so.

Section 10 authorizes appropriations for the construction of the Navajo Irrigation project and the San Juan-Chama diversion project of $221 million, plus such amounts, if any, as may be required by changes in construction costs.

Section 10 amends the act of April 11, 1956 (70 Stat. 105), to make certain typographical and other clarifying corrections.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECTS COVERED BY S. 107

Description of the two projects recommended for authorization in S. 107 were submitted by the Office of Indian Affairs for the Navajo irrigation project and by the Bureau of Reclamation for the San Juan-Chama diversion. These descriptions are as follows:

NAVAJO INDIAN IRRIGATION PROJECT

The plan of development for the Navajo Indian irrigation project in northwestern New Mexico is designed to provide approximately 17,000 Navajo Indians with an economy equal to the non-Indians by the development of 110,360 acres of irrigated land for the sole use of Navajo Indians by diverting annually 509,000 acre-feet of San Juan River water from storage in the Navajo Reservoir.

On the basis of January 1959 prices, the estimated construction expenditures for the construction of the project facilities comprising outlet works, main supply canal, and lateral distribution system is about $135 million. The evaluated total annual benefits exceed the estimated annual costs in a ratio of about 1.44 to 1 for a 100-year period of analysis and 1.17 to 1 for a period of analysis of 50 years.

Under the provisions of Public Law 485, 84th Congress, 2d session, authorizing the Colorado River storage project, the construction costs within the capability of the land to repay are subject to the act of July 1, 1932 (47 Stat. 564), and the construction costs beyond the capability of the land to repay are to be nonreimbursable. It is estimated that the repayment ability of the water users over a 50-year period would be approximately $21 million of the total construction cost. The remaining costs would be nonreimbursable.

In addition to irrigation service, it is contemplated that the Navajo project will provide supplemental municipal water for the city of Gallup and other cities or towns in the area.

SAN JUAN-CHAMA PROJECT

The ultimate plan of development for the San Juan-Chama project, Colorado-New Mexico, is designed to improve and stabilize the economy of the water-deficient Rio Grande and Canadian Basins of New Mexico by providing supplemental water to meet rapidly increasing needs by means of an average annual diversion of 235,000 acre-feet of water from the upper tributaries of the San Juan River.

On the basis of January 1958 prices, the estimated construction expenditure for the initial stage of the project facilities, comprised principally of regulating and storage reservoirs, collection, diversion, and conveyance systems and associated works, is about $86 million.

INITIAL STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT

The plan recommended by the State of New Mexico for initial stage development and construction of the San Juan-Chama project, which is authorized in S. 107, contemplates the average annual diversion of about 110,000 acre-feet from the San Juan River for utilization in the Rio Grande Basin in New Mexico. The water would be used for additional municipal and industrial water supply for the city of Albuquerque, and supplemental irrigation for 39,300 acres of land in Cerro, Taos, Llano, and Pojoaque tributary irrigation units and 81,600 acres in the existing Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District.

The estimated construction cost of the project features of the initial stage, on the basis of January 1958 prices, is about $86 million, which includes $400,000 for minimum basic recreation facilities. Of those costs, reimbursable allocations of $53,400,000 are made tentatively to irrigation, $29,200,000 to municipal and industrial water supply, and $3 million to future uses. The recreation costs would be nonreimbursable.

Irrigation water users probably would repay about $8 million of the irrigation allocation under repayment contracts as provided by the Colorado River Storage Project Act of April 11, 1956. Costs allocated to irrigation in excess of the irrigator's ability to repay would be paid from New Mexico's apportionment of the Upper Colorado River Basin fund revenues as provided in the act. Costs allocated to municipal and industrial water supply, including interest during construction, would be repaid over a 50-year period with interest. Costs allocated to future uses, which involve the provision of excess capacity in the initial stage to permit later project expansion, would also be an obligation against New Mexico's apportionment of revenues and repaid therefrom if not otherwise collected as a result of subsequent allocations to the water users.

The benefit-cost ratio of the initial stage development is 1.26 to 1 for a 100-year period of analysis and 0.81 to 1 if direct benefits only are used in a 50-year period of analysis.

COORDINATED REPORT APPROVED BY SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR

The committee calls attention to the comments on S. 3648 of the Department of the Interior under date of July 8, 1958, in a letter to Chairman Murray, printed at the conclusion of Report No. 2198, and to the letters of March 4 and 9, 1959, from the Bureau of the Budget and the Secretary of the Interior.

The feasibility of the engineering, economic, and related phases of the Navajo Indian irrigation project and the San Juan-Chama diversions reaffirm the action of the Secretary of the Interior on October 16, 1957. On that date, over his own signature, Secretary Fred A. Seaton approved and adopted the proposed coordinated report of the Office of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Reclamation with respect to the two developments dealt with in the pending legislation.

The coordinated report approved and adopted by the Secretary followed years of thorough and intensive investigations by the competent engineers and economists of the two agencies responsible to the Secretary of the Interior.

The committee is of the opinion that authorization at this time of the two projects as set forth in S. 107 is fully justified on the basis of the report ‘‘approved and adopted’’ by the Secretary of the Interior on October 16, 1957, as modified with respect to minor details by the Department's letter of July 8, 1958, signed by Assistant Secretary of the Interior Fred G. Aandahl, but more particularly in view of the latest report of the Department of the Interior of March 14, 1961, signed by Stewart L. Udall, the Secretary of the Interior, in which he states:

This Department recommends the enactment of this bill together with minor suggested amendments.

The full report follows:

COMMUNICATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Department of the Interior,
Office of the Secretary,
Washington, D.C., March 14, 1961.

Hon. CLINTON P. ANDERSON,
Chairman, Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs,
U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C.

DEAR SENATOR ANDERSON: This responds to your request for the views of this Department on S. 107, a bill to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to construct, operate, and maintain the Navajo Indian irrigation project and the initial state of the San Juan-Chama project as participating projects of the Colorado River storage project, and for other purposes.

This Department recommends the enactment of this bill together with minor suggested amendments.

The bill would approve the Navajo Indian irrigation project and the initial stage of the San Juan-Chama project as participating projects of the authorized Colorado River storage project and authorize their construction by the Secretary of the Interior. The coordinated planning report on the Navajo Indian irrigation project and the San Juan-Chama project, prepared jointly by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs and the Commissioner of Reclamation, has been submitted to the Congress and printed as House Document No. 424, 86th Congress.

S. 107 is consistent with our understanding of agreements reached between representatives of the States of Colorado and New Mexico for such legislation at the time of the hearings held on May 20, 1960, before the House Subcommittee on Irrigation and Reclamation, 86th Congress, 2d session, on H.R. 2352, H.R. 2494, and S. 72.

The proposed plan of development for the Navajo Indian irrigation project contemplates the construction of facilities to provide a water supply for the irrigation of lands to be developed solely for Indian use. The conservation and development of fish and wildlife would be a purpose of the project. The plan would not provide specific works for recreation or flood control.

Prior to construction of the project, studies of incremental canal capacity would be made to determine the feasibility of conveying domestic and industrial water supplies for potential requirements as recommended in the planning report. Officials of the State of New Mexico anticipate that a relatively large industrial water demand will develop in the San Juan River Basin. This would be accompanied by associated water requirements for municipal, domestic, and miscellaneous purposes in the adjacent areas. Prospective municipal and industrial water users have already expressed interest in receiving water from the proposed Navajo Canal and have approached the Department in that regard. Section 4 of the bill would authorize the provision of additional capacity for such purposes over and above the diversion requirements for irrigation on the Navajo Indian irrigation project.

Water for irrigation of the lands proposed to be included in the Navajo Indian irrigation project would be diverted from Navajo Reservoir which is now under construction as a storage unit of the Colorado River storage project. A main gravity canal would extend from Navajo Dam a distance of 75.6 miles to Gallegos powerplant. There the water would be dropped to develop electrical energy for pumping water to lands in the Newcomb and Bennett Peak areas of the project. The main canal would extend an additional 77 miles beyond the powerplant to serve project lands.

A net area of 110,630 acres of irrigable land has been proposed for development. The area would include off-reservation lands to be acquired in the south San Juan division and Navajo Indian Reservation lands in the Shiprock division. Section 3 of the bill would provide authority for the acquisition and addition of the off-reservation lands to the proposed project. The project's productive area, which would exclude farmsteads and other nonproductive areas within farm units, would comprise (a) 8,918 acres served by gravity below the main canal in the south San Juan division and 70,359 acres in the Shiprock division, and (b) 25,882 acres served from the pump canals in the Shiprock division, or a total of about 105,100 acres. An average annual diversion of about 508,000 acre-feet of water from the San Juan River would be required for that purpose. This would result in an average annual stream depletion of about 252,000 acre-feet, exclusive of reservoir losses.

The estimated construction cost of the proposed Navajo Indian irrigation project is $135 million on the basis of January 1958 prices which reflect present prices. Operation, maintenance, and replacement costs are estimated to average about $481,000 annually at January 1958 prices. The benefit-cost ratio for the project would be 0.64 to 1 on the basis of direct irrigation benefits only, and 1.44 to 1 on the basis of total irrigation benefits. The appraisal of annual economic costs includes the $2-per-acre-foot depletion charge of the storage project assigned to all participating projects for all benefit-cost ratio purposes.

As provided by sections 4(d) and 6 of the Colorado River Storage Project Act of April 11, 1956 (70 Stat. 105), authorizing the Colorado River storage project and participating projects, in the event the Navajo participating project is authorized, payment of costs allocated to irrigation of Indian-owned, tribal, or restricted lands within, under, or served by such project within the capability of the land to repay is subject to the act of July 1, 1932 (47 Stat. 564); the costs beyond the capability of such lands to repay are to be determined and, in recognition of the fact that assistance to the Navajo Indians is the responsibility of the entire Nation, shall be nonreimbursable.

The coordinated report on these two proposed projects presents a comprehensive plan of development for the San Juan-Chama project including a plan for development of an initial stage of the project as proposed for authorization in S. 107. The plan for ultimate development of the San Juan-Chama project is designed to improve and stabilize the economy of the water-deficient Rio Grande and Canadian River Basins of New Mexico by providing supplemental water to meet rapidly increasing needs. This would be accomplished by diverting water from the upper tributaries of the San Juan River. The water would be used for supplemental irrigation, for replacement of watershed depletions in the Rio Grande Basin, and for an additional supply for municipal, domestic, and industrial purposes. Recreation and conservation and development of fish and wildlife would also be purposes of the project. On the basis of January 1958 prices, the estimated construction cost for the project facilities studied in the plan of development is about $149 million. The evaluated total annual benefits for such a development would exceed the estimated annual costs in a ratio of about 1.7 to 1.

The proposed plan for the initial stage development of the San Juan-Chama project, as recommended by the State of New Mexico, contemplates an average annual diversion of about 110,000 acre-feet from the San Juan River for utilization in the Rio Grande in New Mexico. The imported waters would be used for municipal and industrial water supply (57,300 acre-feet) for the city of Albuquerque; new and supplemental irrigation water supply (30,100 acre-feet) to about 39,300 acres of land in the Cerro, Taos, Llano, and Pojoaque tributary irrigation units in the Rio Grande Basin, N. Mex.; and supplemental water (22,600 acre-feet) for about 81,600 acres of irrigable land in the existing Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District. Recreation and conservation and development of fish and wildlife would also be purposes of the initial stage of development.

The proposed plan of development for the initial stage would involve three major elements; namely, diversion facilities (diversion dams and conduits), regulation facilities (Heron No. 4 dam and reservoir and enlargement of outlet works of the existing El Vado Dam), and water use facilities (principally for the tributary irrigation units). Minimum basic recreation facilities would also be provided at the five project reservoirs.

The estimated construction cost of the project features of the proposed initial stage, on the basis of January 1958 prices that reflect current price levels, is $86 million, which includes about $400,000 for minimum basic recreation facilities. Project operation, maintenance, and replacement costs are estimated at about $346,000 annually. Of the estimated project construction costs, reimbursable allocations of about $29,200,000 have been made tentatively to municipal and industrial water supply, $53,400,000 to irrigation, and $3 million to future uses. The recreation costs would be nonreimbursable. The proposed initial stage development would have engineering feasibility and would be economically justified in that the evaluated total benefits would exceed the estimated annual costs in a ratio of 1.26 to 1 for a 100-year period of analysis. If direct benefits only are considered in a 50-year period of analysis, that ratio would be about 0.81 to 1.

Costs allocated to municipal and industrial water supply, including interest during construction, would be repaid over a 50-year period with interest on the unamortized balance. Using an interest rate of 2.632 percent in accordance with the current rate under the Colorado River Storage Project Act of April 11, 1956, as amended by the act of June 27, 1960, the total to be paid by the municipal and industrial water users would be about $55,622,000. The cost of raw municipal and industrial water would be about 7.3 cents per 1,000 gallons, or about $24 per acre-foot.

This estimated municipal and industrial water rate would apply to water developed by initial stage construction. Repayment contract terms and water rates under subsequent development would be subject to reexamination as plans develop and additional quantities of municipal and industrial water would be contracted. Where necessary, in the adequate financing of any subsequent development, water rates and repayment provisions could be designed to reflect any significant change in municipal and industrial use, operation and maintenance costs associated therewith, and other relevant considerations.

Irrigation water users probably would repay about $8 million of the allocation to irrigation. Repayment contracts would be negotiated and entered into with organizations of the type provided in section 4 of the Colorado River Storage Project Act of April 11, 1956, for contracting on the participating projects authorized by section 1 of that act. The costs allocated to irrigation in excess of the irrigators' ability to repay would be paid from New Mexico's apportionment of the Upper Colorado River Basin fund revenues as provided in the act. Costs allocated to future uses, which would involve the provision of excess capacity in the initial stage to permit later project expansion, would also be an obligation against New Mexico's share of the basin fund revenues to be paid from that apportionment, if not otherwise collected as a result of subsequent allocations to the water users.

Authorization of an irrigation development such as the proposed Navajo Indian irrigation project would implement the recognition given in the act of April 11, 1956, of the Nation's responsibility to help alleviate the severe economic distress among the Navajo people by providing them an opportunity to earn a respectable standard of living. It would enable an estimated 1,120 families to establish homes on irrigated farms and would create employment for an additional 2,240 families. The proposed project has the support of the Navajo Indian Tribe and an on-the-farm training program, financed with tribal funds, is in operation to prepare members of the tribe for irrigation farming.

A development such as that which is embraced in the initial stage of the proposed San Juan-Chama project would help materially to meet the pressing need for additional supplies of water in the Rio Grande Basin where present requirements have reached the point where they far exceed available supplies. This need of the Rio Grande Basin vitally affects the welfare of more than half of the population of New Mexico and, if it is not satisfied in the near future, threatens to check the economic development of the State.

The Secretary's planning report on these projects recommends that detailed studies of fish and wildlife resources affected by both projects be conducted in accordance with section 2 of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and that such reasonable modifications in project facilities and operations, including the acquisition of land, be made by the Secretary as he may find appropriate to preserve and propagate these resources.

We recommend against the retention of section 8(a) of the bill in its present form. The language of this section is not clear. It may be that it is intended to reaffirm the provisions of article VII of the upper Colorado River compact which charges water used by the United States or its agencies, instrumentalities, or wards to the State in which the use occurs. If this is all the language does, it would have no adverse effect on the operation of Navajo Reservoir or either project to be authorized by S. 107, as each of them has been planned within the framework of the compact. If this is the intent, we believe that the section should either be couched in the same terms as article VII of the compact or, since it is unnecessary, be deleted entirely. If it does something more, or limits or restricts the rights of the Indians to the water, its inclusion in the bill is then improper.

In the title of the bill the word ‘‘state’’ should be changed to ‘‘stage’’.

The citation appearing in lines 4 and 5 of page 6 should be corrected by adding after the second comma, the following: ‘‘as amended by section 9 of the Act of June 27, 1960 (74 Stat. 227),’’.

A statement of personnel and other requirements that enactment of the bill may entail is attached in accordance with the provisions of Public Law 801, 84th Congress.

The Bureau of the Budget has advised this Department that since the policy of the administration has not been established, it is impossible for that Bureau to clear any report at this time. Since we are informed that there is a particular urgency for the submission of the views of this Department, we are transmitting this report to your committee without clearance from the Bureau of the Budget.

Sincerely yours,

STEWART L. UDALL,
Secretary of the Interior.
