CRC - COLORADO RIVER COMMISSION
296-4490
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Colorado River Commission is empowered to acquire, manage, and protect all of Nevada's water and hydropower resources from the Colorado River. In addition, it is to provide electric
power resources to certain customers from any available source for needs over and above the hydropower allocations. These resources are primarily centered in and benefit Southern Nevada.
The Colorado River Commission Fund acts as the general fund for all Commission activities. All personnel costs for Commission staff and all of the basic activities and functions performed
in fulfilling the Commission's legislative mandate are recorded in this account. The Commission is entirely funded by its customers and receives no state or federal funds in carrying out its
activities. The Colorado River Basin states are in constant contact regarding the issues of the lower basin; the bulk of Commission travel occurs in California and Arizona. In addition, the
Commission has extensive involvement with a number of agencies of the federal government, including the Department of Interior, Department of Energy, Bureau of Reclamation, Western
Area Power Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and others. Statutory Authority: NRS
538.
BASE
This request continues funding for thirty-eight employees and associated operating costs. One-time expenditures have been eliminated and partial year costs have been annualized.
