STOP SB 2109 Navajo-Hopi Little Colorado River Water Rights Settlement Act
Why is this important?
The Bill SB 2109 would require the Navajo and Hopi Tribes to relinquish future claims over water quality and loss of traditional springs, to waive their priority Water Rights to the surface waters of the Little Colorado River. In return the promise is of uncertain federal appropriations to supply minimal amounts of drinking water. It also denies the Tribes the economic market of value of their water rights, and force them to dependence on uncertain federal funding of any water projects. See attached video for more information. Please call Senators John McCain (202) 224-2235 and Jon Kyle (202) 224-4521 and Representative Ben Quale (602) 263-5300, requesting them to withdraw SB 2109.
