Central Utah Project Completion Act

The Central Utah Project Completion Act (CUPCA) (P.L. 102-575), enacted on October 30, 1992, removed responsibility for completing the Central Utah Project (CUP), a federal water project, from the United States Bureau of Reclamation. The Central Utah Project Completion Act then distributed responsibility for the project:

  • Construction of the remainder of the Central Utah Project became the responsibility of the local water district--the Central Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD);
  • The Central Utah Project Completion Act established the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission to oversee facilities to mitigate for the environmental effects of the Central Utah Project; and
  • The Central Utah Project Completion Act placed responsibity for oversight of the project with the Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior.

Famous quotes containing the words central, project and/or act:

    “When life has been well spent, age is a loss of what it can well spare,—muscular strength, organic instincts, gross bulk, and works that belong to these. But the central wisdom, which was old in infancy, is young in fourscore years, and dropping off obstructions, leaves in happy subjects the mind purified and wise.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Raising a daughter is an extremely political act in this culture. Mothers have been placed in a no-win situation with their daughters: if they teach their daughters simply how to get along in a world that has been shaped by men and male desires, then they betray their daughters’ potential But, if they do not, they leave their daughters adrift in a hostile world without survival strategies.”
    —Elizabeth Debold (20th century)
