115TH CONGRESS REPORT
1st Session SENATE 115-53
BOLTS DITCH ACCESS AND USE ACT
MAY 9, 2017.-Ordered to be printed
Ms. MURKOWSKI, from the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources, submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 285]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S. 285) to insure adequate use and access to the
existing Bolts Ditch headgate and ditch segment within the Holy
Cross Wilderness in Eagle County, Colorado, and for other pur-
poses, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon with-
out amendment and recommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 285 is to ensure adequate use and access to
the existing Bolts Ditch headgate and ditch segment within the
Holy Cross Wilderness in Eagle County, Colorado.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
When Congress authorized and designated the Holy Cross Wil-
derness Area in 1980, Bolts Ditch was inadvertently not included
on the list of existing water facilities. Bolts Lake is an existing
water facility in Minturn, Colorado, outside of the Wilderness Area,
which can only be filled using the Bolts ditch and headgate. S. 285
would allow for a special use permit to be granted to the Town of
Minturn, Colorado, for access to the ditch and headgate within the
Wilderness Area.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
S. 285 was introduced by Senator Gardner on February 2, 2017.
