WHEREAS, the Bureau of Reclamation has completed a "Feasibility
Report" of the Washoe Project for submission to the Congress of the
United States, -wherein is proposed the building of Stampede Reservoir
on the Little Truckee River with direct diversion of the waters there-
from through a tunnel into the State of Nevada; and
WHEREAS, Eastern Nevada C ounty t s most vital and greatest asset
is its waters, both for fishing and recreation as well as for present
and future potential industrial and power development* and
WHEREAS, diversion in the manner proposed would seriously and
detrimentally effect the natural. resources of Eastern Nevada County by
diverting the waters of the Little Truckee River from their natural
course through Nevada Counter into the Truckee River; and
WHEREAS., the diversion of the waters of the Little Truckee River
from Nevada County without the opportunity now or in the future of the
fullest utilization of such waters within Nevada County and the State
of California is contrary to the best interests and welfare of the in-
habitants thereof; and
WHEREAS, the flood control and irrigation features of the proposed
Washoe Project for the benefit of the people of the State of Nevada can
be as substantially realized by other suggested plans of the Bureau of
Reclamation which would retain to the people of Nevada County and the
State of California greater utilization of the multiple uses of the
waters of this County;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Directors of
Truckee Public Utility District, that we most earnestly protest the
diversion of the waters of the Little Truckee River in the manner now
proposed in the Feasibility Report of the Washoe Project; and
-BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all interested parties be requested
to oppose such diversion in the manner proposed and that copies of this
resolution be forwarded to U. S. Senator William Knowland, Congressman
Clair Engle, Governor Goodwin Knight,. State Engineer A. D. Edmonston,
State Senator Harold T . John son , . and State Assemblyman Francis Lindsay
and others urging their assistance in having a reconsideration of the
Project as now proposed so as to preserve and protect the interests and
welfare of the people of Nevada County and the State of California.
