In his letters the President requested that a reappraisal of the direct agricultural benefits anticipated from the participating projects of the Colorado River Storage Project be made by the Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the Department of the Interior. Following the authorization of the Colorado River Storage Project by the Congress an understanding was reached late in July 1956 between the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior regarding conduct of a survey to reappraise these direct agricultural benefits and to appraise project impacts. The Department of Agriculture survey was made under the authority of Section 6, Public Law 566, 83d Congress, as amended, which authorizes the Department to cooperate with other federal, state and local agencies in surveys and investigations of watersheds. The Utah State Agricultural College has also cooperated in the survey. In addition to the agricultural phases, this report deals with the impacts of the unit on the national forests and the relation of watershed conditions to the unit. The report is intended to aid the Bureau of Reclamation in developing a sound unit plan.
