1. INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has authority for river maintenance of the Rio Grande between Velarde, New Mexico, and the headwaters of Caballo Reservoir under the Flood Control Acts of 1948 and 1950. “River maintenance” refers to river and infrastructure maintenance and restoration actions that accomplish one or more of the following (the order listed does not imply importance):

· Protect riverside structures and facilities

· Reduce and/or eliminate aggradation in the MRG

· Reduce the rate of channel degradation from Cochiti Dam south to Socorro
