Tat Momolikot Dam saga haunts Papago land and water

In 1962 Temote area floods caused millions in damages and spurred a 1975 dam plan. The Tat Momolikot Dam would create a large lake behind a 60 foot high earthen wall, with recreation and irrigation plans benefiting Casa Grande farmers. Papago leaders criticize manipulation by federal agencies and fear loss of tribal land and control, while HUD funds a lakeside town that may never materialize.

Papago dam decision and delayed compensation spark controversy

The Tat Momolikat Dam decision is traced to Tom Segundo with tribal leadership boycotting a planned dedication on June 16 1975. The Corps of Engineers faces displacement issues with lease payments and unsettled compensation while Papago and nonnative groups debate funding and risk amid a looming lake 12 miles long.
