CAP water project eyed for re evaluation under Carter plan
The Central Arizona Project, a $1.6 billion program that would move Colorado River water to cities and farms in Arizona, is among 61 federal projects proposed for review by the Carter administration. The Interior Department briefing book notes safety concerns at Orme Dam and discusses options to keep, trim, or cut back water projects, with CAP slated to begin delivering about 1.5 million acre feet yearly in 1985. Construction continues on siphons, a Buckskin Mountains tunnel, aqueduct segments, and a protective dike near Scottsdale and Phoenix amid lawsuits from environmental and tribal groups.
