Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Dorothy Harvey was an advocate for wilderness areas who worked on land and water management issues since the 1970s. Though she lived in Wisconsin, she worked on field studies of various environmental issues in various western states throughout the 1970s. She lived in Utah from 1980 t0 1986. Along with others, Harvey formed Citizens for a Responsible Central Utah Project (CUP), later the Intermountain Water Alliance, to inform the public of the effects that the Central Utah Project would have on land, wildlife, and recreation.
CUP is a United States federal water resource development program that was authorized as a participating project of the April 11, 1956 Colorado River Storage Project. It consists of six sub-projects located in central and east central part of Utah, the largest of which is the Bonneville Unit. On October 30, 1992, the United States Congress passed the Central Utah Project Completion Act, which removed responsibility for completing the complex projects from the United States Bureau of Reclamation and designated the Central Utah Water Conservancy District as the planning and construction agency for CUP.
