Excerpt from Energy and Water Development Appropriations for Fiscal Year 1994, Vol. 2: Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, on H. R. 2445 In December 1984, the Garrison Diversion Unit Commission proposed Sykeston Canal as a functional replacement for the Lonetree Reservoir, contending that Lone tree Reservoir was environmentally unsound and not required for the level of irriga tion included in the Commission plan. The State of North Dakota disagreed with the Commission's conclusions. In January 1985, the Secretary of the Interior released a Secretarial Issue Docu ment containing interpretations of Commission recommendations. With respect to the question of Lonetree Dam versus Sykeston Canal, the Secretary took the posi tion that the Bureau of Reclamation should execute contracts to mothball con struction at the Lonetree site and complete land acquisition, begin preconstruction activities on Sykeston, and defer study of the demonstration of need for Lonetree. The Garrison Diversion Reformulation Act, passed in May 1986, adopted the Com mission's recommendations and authorized the Sykeston Canal as a functional re placement for Lonetree. Provision was made to continue authorization for Lonetree Reservoir, but conditions were placed on proceeding with the reservoir alternative.
