WHEREAS, for the purpose of controlling the floods, improving navi- gation and regulating the flow of the Colorado River, providing for storage and for delivery of the stored waters for reclamation of public lands and other benefi- vial uses exclusively within the United States, the Secretary, subject to the terms -I- of the Colorado River Compact, is authorized to construct, operate and maintain a dam and incidental works in the main stream of the Colorado River at Black Canyon or Boulder Canyon, adequate to create a storage reservoir of a capacity of not less than twenty -million acre-feet of water, and a main canal and appurtenant structures located entirely within the United States connecting the Laguna Dam, or other suit- able diversion dam, which the Secretary is also authorized to construct if deemed necessary, or advisable by him upon engineering or economic considerations, with the Imperial and Coachella Valleys in California, the expenditures for said main canal and appurtenant structures to be reimbursable as provided in the reclamation law; and Article 3. WHEREAS, after full consideration of the advantages of both the Black Canyon and Boulder Canyon dam sites, the Secretary has determined upon Black ` Canyon as the site of the aforesaid dam, hereinafter styled the Boulder Dam, creating t thereby a reservoir to be hereinafter styled the Boulder Canyon Reservoir; and Article 4. WHEIMAS, (a) there are included within the boundaries of the Dis- .IS trict areas of private and public lands and additional private and public lands will, by appropriate proceedings, be added to the District and to the Coachella Service Area, defined in Article 17 hereof; and (b) There has been executed under date of December 1, 1932, a contract, herein styled Imperial Contract, between the United States and Imperial Irrigation District, an irrigation district created, organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of California, which contract provides for the construction of a suitable diversion dam and main canal and appurtenant structures, therein and herein- after respectively styled "Imperial Dam" and "All -American Canal", located entirely within the United States, connecting with the Imperial and Coachella Valleys, and for the delivery to said Imperial Irrigation District of stored water from Boulder Can - Yon Reservoir; and -2 (c) Certain controversies between said two districts relating to their respec- tive interests in water and power on said All -American Canal have been settled and h compromised by an agreement executed between said two districts, dated February loth, 1934 a triplicate original of which said agreement was on 1934, filad with the Secretary; and (d) The District is desirous of entering into a contract for the construction of certain capacity for it in said Imperial Dam and All -American Canal and for the delivery to the District, for the benefit of the lands under or that will be served from the All American Canal in Coachella Valley, now or hereafter within the District and lying within said Coachella Service Area, of stored water from Boulder Canyon Reservoir, such contract to be in harmony with the provisions of said Imperial Contract and those of said agreement dated February 14th, 1934; and Article 5. WHEREAS, The Secretary has determined, upon engineering and economic considerations, that it is advisable to provide for the construction of such Imperial. Dam and All -American Gnal, and has determined that the revenues provided for by this contract are adequate in his judgment to insure payment of all expenses of construction, operation and maintenance of the capacity in said Imperial Dam and All - American Canal to be constructed hereunder, in the manner provided in the reclamation law; Article 6. IOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows, to wit: Construction by United States Article 7. The United States will construct the Imperial Dam in the main stream of the Colorado River at the approximate location indicated on the map marked Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, c.nd will also construct the All -American Canal to the Imperial and Coachella Valleys, the approxi- mate location of said canal to be as shown on the aforesaid Exhibit "A". Said canal shall be an constructed as to provide a designed capacity of one thousand five hundred (1500) cubic feet of water per second, to be used by the District for the benefit of n the lands now or hereafter within the District and lying within said Coachella Service Area, from and including the diversion and desilting works at said dam to the southerly end of that portion of the All -American Canal designated on said Exhibit "A" as "Main (All -American) Canal to Coachella Valley" (hereinafter styled "Coachella Main Canal"). Said Coachella Main Canal shall be constructed with such capacities as the Secretary may conclusively determine to be necessary or advisable upon engineering or economic considerations to accomplish the ends contemplated by this contract; provided, however, that changes in capacities, locations, lengths and alignments, may be made during the progress of the work as may, in the opinion of the Secretary, whose opinion shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto, be expedient, economical, necessary or advisable, except the capacity above indicated from and including the diversion and desalting works at Imperial Dam to the Southerly end of said Coachella Main Canal, which capacity may be changed only by mutual agree- ment between the Secretary and the District. The ultimate cost to said two districts of the Imperial Dam and All -American Canal shall in no event exceed the aggregate sum of thirty --eight million, five hundred thousand dollars (338, 500, 000.00). Such cost shall include all expenses of whatsoever kind heretofore or hereafter incurred by the United States from the Reclamation Fund or the Colorado River Dam fund in connec- tion with, growing out of, or resulting from the construction of said Imperial Dam and All -American Canal, including but not limited to the cost of labor, materials, equipment, engineering, legal work, superintendence, administration, overhead, any and all costs arising from operation and maintenance of said Imperial Dam and All -- American Canal prior to the time that said costs are assumed respectively by the said two districts, damage of all kinds and character and rights -of --way as herein- after provided. The District hereby agrees to re -pay to the United States its share Of all expenditures incurred on account of any and all damages due to the existence, operation or maintenance of the diversion dam and main canal, the incurrence of Which increases expenditures by the United States beyond said sum of $38,500,000.00. The District shall re --pay the same share of said expenditures as the share to be paid by the District under Article 10 (b) hereof of the capital cost of the particu- lar part of said works causing such damage. The United States will invoke all legal and valid reservations of rights -of -way under acts of Congress, or otherwise reserved or held by it, without cost to the District, except that the United States reserves the right where rights -of -way are thus acquired to reimburse the owners of such lands for the value of improvements which may be destroyed, and the District agrees that the United States may include such disbursements in the cost of the Imperial Dam and All -American Canal. If rights. -of -way are required over an existing project of the Bureau of reclamation, such sum or sums as may be necessary to reimburse the United States on account of the construction charges allocated to irrigable areas absorbed in such rights -of -way shall also be considered as a part of and be included with other costs of the Imperial Dam and All -American Canal. The District agrees to convey to the United States without cost, unencumbered fee simple title to any and all lands now owned by it which, in the opinion of the Secretary, may be required for right-of-way purposes for the Imperial Dam and All -American Canal; and the District agrees that Imperial Irrigation District may convey to the United States, unencumbered fee simple title to any and all lands now owned by it which, in the opinion of the Secretary, may be required for right-of-way purposes for those por- tions of the Imperial Dam and All --American Canal to be used in common by said two districts, at the fair market value thereof, to be determined by the Secretary, such value to be considered (as to the District) as a part of and included with other costs of the Imperial Dam and All -American Canal. Where rights -of -way within the State of California are required for the construction of Imperial Dam and All - American Canal, and such rights of way, are not reserved to the United States under Acts of Congress, or otherwise, or the lands over which such rights of way are re- quired are not then owned by either of said two districts, then the District agrees, r (a) that it will, upon request of the Secretary, acquire title to such lands required for such purposes as lie north of the lowest turnout for East Mesa on said Coachella gain Canal, and in turn convey unencumbered fee simple title thereto to the United States at the actual cost thereof to the District, subject to the approval of such cost by the Secretary; and (b) agrees that Imperial Irrigation District, upon request of the Secretary, may acquire title to any such lands required for such Purposes as lie south of the Northerly boundary line of Township Eleven (11), South of the San Bernardino Base Line, and likewise convey unencumbered fee simple title thereto to the United States at the actual cost thereof to the Imperial Irrigation District, subject to the approval of such cost by the Secretary. Assumption of ration and Maintenance of Common and Separate Works, Article 8. (a). Imperial Dam and All --American Canal and Laguna Dam except (i) that portion of said Coachella Main Canal hying North of the Lowest turnout for East Mesa and (ii} that portion of the All -American Canal lying West of the Southerly end of said Coachella Rain Canal and designated on said Exhibit "All as 139ain (All Ameri- can) Canal to Imperial Valley" are herein styled "common works". Upon sixty (60) days written notice from the Secretary of the completion of construction of the Imperial Dam and All -American Canal, or of v.W major unit thereof useful to said two districts or either of them, as determined by the Secretary, whose determination thereof shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto, said Imperial Irrigation District may assume the care, operation and maintenance of said common works, or major units thereof, and thereafter said Imperial Irrigation District may, care for, operate and maintain the same in such manner that such works shall remain in as good and efficient condition and of equal capacity for the diversion, transportation and distribution of water as when received from the United States, reasonable wear and damage by the elements excepted.
