Crystal Reservoir Conveyance Act

Introduced 2025-09-10Topic: land use zoningSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture, through the Forest Service, to transfer Crystal Reservoir in Ouray County, Colorado, along with Full Moon Dam, related infrastructure, about 45 acres of surrounding land, and associated water rights, to the City of Ouray. The transfer would be at no cost to the City, except that the City would pay for any land surveys. In exchange, the City must pay for repairs, operation, maintenance, and dam safety compliance, keep the land as open space with free public recreational access, and limit development and expansion of the reservoir's surface area. The federal government would keep easements for existing roads and trails, and the land could return to federal ownership if the City does not follow the conditions after a 90-day notice period. The bill also recognizes a permanent easement for the City's use of the Red Mountain Ditch to deliver water to the reservoir.
