NARRATIVE BY ON THE COLORADO ABOUT THE DYSFUNCTION OF GLEN CANYON DAM

There is no capacity within the Glen Canyon Adaptive Management Program to be proactive about implementing a successful long-term management plan. This program, now approaching an age of 30-years and spending more than $30,000 a day, has produced what is best described and a gross distortion of Nature.

With each passing decade, the degradation of Lake Powell and of the river corridor behind Glen Canyon Dam, progressively and noticeably decays. This condition is especially noticeable to the people who watched the dam being built, who watched the reservoir fill, and who watched the river corridor of the Grand Canyon abruptly change into a water conveyance system between the two largest reservoirs in the United States.

When you review the literature for the original EIS of 2016 and for the SEIS of 2024, you will notice that the alternatives are essentially the same. The scope just isn't comprehensive, nor imaginative, and it still remains ripe for continuing litigation.
