The Central Utah Project Completion Act (CUPCA) (P.L. 102-575), enacted on October 30, 1992, removed responsibility for completing the Central Utah Project (CUP), a federal water project, from the United States Bureau of Reclamation. The Central Utah Project Completion Act then distributed responsibility for the project: * Construction of the remainder of the Central Utah Project became the responsibility of the local water district--the Central Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD); * The Central Utah Project Completion Act established the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission to oversee facilities to mitigate for the environmental effects of the Central Utah Project; and * The Central Utah Project Completion Act placed responsibity for oversight of the project with the Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior. ==Before CUPCA== The Central Utah Project was authorized under The Colorado River Storage Project Act (CRSPA) (Public Law 84-485) on April 11, 1956, as a participating project of the Colorado River Storage Project to help meet Utah’s long-term water needs. Construction progress on the Central Utah Project proceeded slowly because of: the complexity of the project; complex environmental analyses; and inadequate and sporadic Federal funding. The slow progress prompted state and local officials to ask Congress to empower the Central Utah Water Conservancy District to complete the planning and construction of the remaining portion of the CUP, specifically the Bonneville Unit. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Central Utah Project Completion Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
