Today Congressman Kevin Cramer released the following statement after the final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Northwest Area Water Supply Project (NAWS) was published by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation:
"This process has gone on for over a decade and I urge the Bureau of Reclamation to issue a record of decision as soon as possible. The people of North Dakota have every right to beneficially use Missouri River water. This project will provide reliable, high quality water to individuals and communities who have faced shortage and quality problems in the past while meeting projected growth in this area," said Cramer.
