REQUEST FOR LEAVE TO MAKE LIMITED APPEARIsNCE The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community requests the presiding officer for leave, pursuant to the Commission's l

I j The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community is a community of American Indians organized under Section 16 of the Indian Reorganization Act of June 18, 1934, 25 U.S.C.

S476. It occupies a reservation in Maricopa County, Arizona comprised of more than 50,000 acres and it is governed by a ) 3 Community Council created under a Constitution adopted by j)

Community members and approved by the Secretary of the 8204140120 820408 PDR ADOCK 050005g8 0

i ~.

Interior on 13ovember 23, 1970. The Community Council is empowered under this Constitution to administer the Community's lands a.nd natural resources and to exercise the governmental powers normally vested in a municipality.

The Community has a direct interest in the proper use and disposition of water, including return flow water, within the Salt River Reclamation Project District. Ac-cordingly, it has an interest in the proposed transfer of sewage effluent from the 91st Avenue wastewater treatment plant, which is within the Project, to the Palo Verde riuclear i Generating Station, which lies outside of the Project boundaries. The Community contends that this proposed transfer is governed by the provisions of the Reclamation Act of June 17, 1902, 32 Stat. 388 et seq., as amended, and that under these reclamation laws this transfer can be effected only under the authority of the Secretary of the Interior acting in compliance with certain statutory conditions and standards.

The Community particularly contends that the applicant does not have an assured supply of useable municipal effluent for cooling purposes for Unit 3 of the PVtJGS during months of peak reactor need for the first five years of operation.

The Community seeks to make an appearance at the scheduled proceedings to assure that the Commission has the benefit of its views on this matter of vital local concern.
