Rules for States
In Use of Water
Washington (U.P.) A Senate
interior subcommittee approved
a bill today to require federal
agencies to follow state laws in
acquiring rights to use water in
the 17 western states.
. The bill, by Sen. Frank A.
Barrett (R-Wyo.), originally was
introduced as a result of a Su
preme Court decision in a case
involving Pelton dam in Oregon.
The court held that since the
dam was on reserved federal
land, state laws did not have to
be complied with.
Sponsors of the bill have held
that the decision could mean
that the federal government has
absolute control over water on
some 247,000 square miles of
national forest reservations. .
During hearings on the meas
ure, there were complaints that
the Navy had refused to meet
state requirements, including
payment of a fee of $1 per well,
in drilling six wells at the Haw
thorne Ammunition Depot , in
Nevada.
Users Must Apply '
The western states generally
require prospective users to ap
ply for unused water. The users
are required to show that the
water is being put to beneficial
use before a permanent right is
granted. ,
The bill was amended at the
request of Sens. Carl Hayden CD
Ariz.) and Barry Goldwater (R
Ariz.) to protect water rights
covered by contract between
users and the Interior Depart
ment where formal filings had
not been made.
Departments concerned will
be asked to submit comments on
the bill for consideration of the
full committee on June 12.

serve" phase of the program will
