In 1915 the Bureau of Reclamation as Agent and Trustee for the Truckee -Carson
Irrigation District, acquired by condemnation and purchase nr?rtaln right9, front
the Truckee River,General Electric Company, alecessor,in interest. of the Sierra >
'Pacific Power Company. These rights were created_under a franchis granted by~the
State of California to the Donner I thber and Boom Company in '1874. Under this
franchise a dam`and"control"works were constructed and put in operation in 1876. -
Since 1876 and up to the present time water has been stored in Lake Tahoe
and released there -from under these rights. A new dam and control works were
built and put in operation in 1915 as part of the Newlands Project. On the 21st
day of May, 1903 notices wereposted and appropriation made at three places on the
Truckee River, claiming all unappropriated water of the Truckee River and Lake
Tahoe up to 1500 c.f.s. to provide necessary water for the Newlands Project.
Depending upon these appropriations and the rights acauired by purchase in 1915,
the water users of the Newlands Project, constructed irrigation work at a cost
of about six million dollars. This water was first put to benefical use upon
completion of the Truckee Canal and Derby Dam in April, 1905., The water users
of, the Newlands Project maintain that there are no unappropriated waters in the
Truckee River or the Lake Tahoe Basin.
