On the recordOctober 3, 2000
Mr. Speaker, H.R. 4389 transfers a small component of a much larger project. The larger overall project was built from 1938 to 1957 and called the Colorado-Big Thompson project. The water is used primarily to help irrigate 615,000 acres of northeastern Colorado farmland. The proposed legislation will divest the Bureau of Reclamation of responsibility for future management, liability and replacement of the North Poudre Supply Canal and Diversion Works, the Charles Hansen Supply Canal and Windsor Extension, and the Dixon Feeder Canal. An agreement on the sale price has been worked out between the District, the Bureau of Reclamation and Western Area Power Administration for the facilities to be conveyed under this act. I urge an aye vote on this legislation.
