    The proposed Power Alignment #1 details a specific plan for infrastructure realignment in relation to water management systems within the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge (HNWR) and the Beal Lake Conservation Area (BLCA). The alignment follows the old south dike road, extending towards the new south dike road, and splits towards Beal Lake via an interior road, eventually connecting to key facilities such as pump locations and maintenance yards. Important features include the Firebreak Canal and a future Archimedes screw pump, designed to enhance operational efficiency in water management. The document serves as a guideline for planning and executing improvements in the region's water resource management infrastructure, reflecting the government's ongoing commitment to environmental conservation and infrastructure development within wildlife areas.
