However, construction of the Upsilco and Uintah Units has not been undertsdcen, in part because the Bureau was unable to find adequate and economically feasible reservoir sites. The Ute Indian Unit has not been authorized by Congress, and there is no present intent to proceed with Ultimate Phase construction. (4) Without the implementation of the plans to construct additional storage in the Uinta Basin, the water users (both Indian and non-Indian) continue to suffer water shortages and resulting economic decline. (b) PURPOSE.—This Act and the proposed Revised Ute Indian Compact of 1990 are intended to— (1) quantify the Tribe's reserved water rights; (2) allow increased beneficial use of such water; and (3) put the Tribe in the same economic position it would have enjoyed had the features contemplated by the September 20, 1965 Agreement been constructed.
