GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP Calendar No. 630 114TH CONGRESS REPORT 2d Session SENATE 114-352 ARKANSAS VALLEY CONDUIT, COLORADO MODIFICATIONS SEPTEMBER 15, 2016.-Ordered to be printed Ms. MURKOWSKI, from the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany S. 2616] The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was referred the bill (S. 2616) to modify certain cost-sharing and rev- enue provisions relating to the Arkansas Valley Conduit, Colorado, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and recommends that the bill do pass. PURPOSE The purpose of S. 2616 is to modify certain cost-sharing and rev- enue provisions relating to the Arkansas Valley Conduit, Colorado. BACKGROUND AND NEED The Fryingpan-Arkansas Project was first authorized in 1962 to furnish irrigation water, municipal and industrial water, and elec- tric power, and to control floods in the Arkansas River Valley in Southeastern Colorado. The last component of this project, the Ar- kansas Valley Conduit, is a 130-mile pipeline which would deliver water from the Pueblo Reservoir to more than 40 communities in Colorado. Currently, revenue generated by existing Fryingpan-Ar- kansas project facilities is used for debt repayment associated with construction of related facilities. Congress enacted legislation as part of the Omnibus Public Lands Act of 2009 to require the water users to pay 35 percent of the reimbursable cost of the conduit. In addition, the 2009 law credited the miscellaneous revenues that the Project receives for the use of its excess storage capacity and exchange contracts towards the water users' repayment obligation. 59-010
