To Our Customers & Constituents
Later in this report, you’ll learn more about
our continued focus on the Navajo Generat-
ing Station, the source of the majority of our
pumping power. The future of NGS is depen-
dent on what emission control technology the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
mandates in its new visibility-related regula-
tion. As our efforts to control rates are linked
to the use of energy from NGS, we have a
tremendous stake in the outcome.
We began and ended the year on a stable
financial basis. Using both technology and
alternative work schedules, we made significant
efforts to reduce our costs and protect our
customers in a time of substantial economic
stress in Arizona. The enclosed financial
report will provide you with more details.
In October, CAP began operations at Phase
One of the Superstition Mountains Recharge
Project, our first direct recharge facility in
Pinal County. The location of this facility
‘upstream’ of several of our large East
Valley customers provides an added boost
to the aquifer in the area.
Finally, we’re happy to report that thanks
to our award-winning safety and health
program, we received recertification as
a Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Star
site, a rare and distinguished honor for
CAP. This reflects the on-going efforts of
our entire staff to consider safety in every
activity, and our commitment to watching
out for one another. Our ability to reliably
and effectively serve our customers has
been strengthened through our ability to
maintain a safe and healthy workplace.
Please enjoy this report and be sure to

about our operations, activities and service
to our customers and communities.
2011 was an extremely busy and productive year
for Central Arizona Project (CAP). Thankfully,
a record-setting winter snowfall in the Rocky
Mountains helped alleviate the effects of recent
drought across the Colorado River watershed.
Over the course of the spring, Lake Mead rose
more than 50 feet. Under the normal water
supply declaration by the Secretary of the Interior,
CAP delivered 1,619,713 acre-feet of Colorado
River water to our customers.

“ Phoenix would not be what it is today; Tucson would not be what
it is today. Our Valley would never have been able to grow the way
that it has without the Central Arizona Project water.”
— john mccain, u.s. senator
NGS is a coal-fired power plant located
on the Navajo Reservation near Page.
It was originally built in the early 1970s
as an alternative to constructing ad-
ditional dams in the Grand Canyon to
supply power for CAP operations and
revenues for CAP repayment.
The EPA maintains that emissions from
NGS affect visibility in several national
parks and wilderness areas, including
the Grand Canyon, and is considering
requiring additional air pollution controls
as Best Available Retrofit Technology
(BART) to mitigate the problem.
NGS owners have already spent more
than $40 million to install low-NOx
burners and other combustion technol-
ogy that has significantly reduced emis-
sions at NGS. But the EPA is consider-
ing another technology called Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR), which would
offer only a marginal, and perhaps
imperceptible, improvement over low-
NOx burners but would cost NGS owners
more than $1.3 billion to install and
operate. The high cost of SCR, particu-
larly when coupled with a number of
other uncertainties facing NGS — such
as the renewal of land, coal and water
contracts — could well drive NGS owners
to close the plant instead of incurring the
retrofit costs.
If NGS is shut down, the effects would
be devastating to the Navajo Nation and
the Hopi Tribe, who depend on the revenue
and jobs that NGS provides. It could
also lead to higher water rates as CAP is
forced to find other power sources to pump
water, and potentially higher taxes or
capital charges as CAP must replace the
NGS revenues that contribute toward
CAP’s annual repayment obligation.
Throughout 2011 CAP worked tirelessly
with a variety of departments, groups
and stakeholders to find a solution to keep
NGS in operation.
CAP worked with the Department of the
Interior and the Department of Energy to
support and fund a study conducted by the
National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
The study began in the last quarter of 2011
and examined the potential costs of main-
taining the current emissions technology
(upgraded to reduce nitrogen oxides
by 40 percent), installing expensive new
technology, and the costs and results
of shutting down NGS. The results are
expected in early 2012.
In addition, CAP participated in a large
stakeholder group which met for several
months to develop a solution to address the
concerns of the EPA while minimizing the
risk of NGS closure. Ultimately, the group
could not come to consensus on a strategy.
All the while, CAP continued to engage
elected officials and customers in this
critical issue through the CAP Smart
Energy communications campaign. CAP
Board members and staff gave presenta-
tions, distributed informational materials,
promoted the www.CAPSmartEnergy.com
web site, and provided interviews, articles
and information to the media. Support
for a reasonable decision by the EPA
was widespread. A decision is expected
in mid-2012.
The future of the Navajo Generating Station (NGS), which provides over 90 percent of the power needed to pump Central Arizona Project water, was again one of the major challenges CAP ad-dressed in 2011. Throughout the year, CAP personnel proactively worked with our customers, Arizona’s Native American nations, and our state and federal elected officials to confront the threat that potential new regulations by the U.S. Environmental Protec-tion Agency (EPA) covering nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions might lead to the closure of the power facility.
Navajo Generating Station04 Future of NGS
“ We live in a desert. The progress that can occur economically
or the amount of people that can exist all depends on the amount
of water, the availability of water, and the consistency of
that source of water.”
— ed pastor, u.s. representative
Record Water DeliveriesCAP set a water delivery record on June 17 when average deliveries
for the day hit 4,198 cubic feet per second (cfs). The previous record was
4,065 cfs on July 18, 2000. And from June 18 to the end of that month,
CAP averaged around 4,100 cfs in daily deliveries. One cubic foot of water
is about 7 ½ gallons, so on June 17 CAP was delivering nearly 1.9 million
gallons of water every minute.
The increase in deliveries in June, when the record was set, was due to
higher than normal prices on alfalfa and futures prices on cotton. As a result,
agricultural customers planted and harvested as quickly as possible, relying
on CAP water to maximize their crops.
CAP serves about 5 million people in Maricopa, Pinal and Pima counties by delivering
water to its more than 80 long-term customers who fall into three user groups:
M u n i c i p a l & i n d u s t r i a l :CAP doesn’t treat water for drinking. CAP is the “wholesaler” which provides water to some customers, including cities and water utilities which treat water for drinking. After treating water, these customers deliver it to residents through pipes that lead to commercial buildings and homes.
a g r i c u l t u r a l :CAP’s agricultural customers are primarily large irrigation districts which deliver water to farmers. The majority of water CAP delivers is used for agriculture. As cities grow they will begin using more CAP water.
n a t i v e a M e r i c a n s :CAP delivers water to Native American communities in central and southern Arizona. However, by law, CAP is not permitted to do business directly with the tribes. Tribal nations contract with the U.S. Department of the Interior for CAP water. Native Americans may use the Colorado River water for municipal purposes, farming, or leasing to cities.
CAP is proud of its delivery record. Since making its first water delivery in 1985, CAP has never failed to meet its delivery obligations to any city, business, agricultural user or Native American community.
External Achievements06
“ Central Arizona Project provides the lifeblood for Arizona
water, without that we couldn’t have the prosperity that we have
enjoyed. It’s central to everything we do in Arizona.”
— jeff flake, u.s. representative
Superstition Mountains Recharge Project Adding Underground Water Storage
Much of the water that CAP takes off
the Colorado River each year is put into
underground storage as a hedge against
future drought and shortage. CAP is the
State’s recognized expert in constructing
and operating underground storage
facilities. Its six recharge sites stored
182,415 acre-feet in 2011 and have stored
more than 2 million acre-feet in total.
In Pima County, CAP operates the Lower
Santa Cruz and Pima Mine Road recharge
sites. In Maricopa County, CAP operates
the Agua Fria, Hieroglyphic Mountain,
and Tonopah Desert recharge sites which
all are in the West Valley.
In 2011, CAP opened the Superstition
Mountains Recharge Project (SMRP) in
the East Valley. It was a large undertaking.
Almost 625,000 yards of dirt were exca-
vated to create the two 20-acre recharge
basins. Colorado River water flows into
the basins from the CAP canal and seeps
into the ground, replenishing and filling
the aquifer. The water can then be pumped
out when it is needed at a future date.
The storage facility permit for SMRP
includes about 150 acres with a total
capacity of 56,500 acre-feet. The project
was divided into two phases. The first
phase, completed in 2011, includes about
40 acres of basins and is permitted to
store 25,000 acre-feet annually. Once
CAP obtains more operating experience
with these initial recharge basins,
it will determine how many additional
basins are needed to achieve the full
permitted volume.

“ It’s said that the 7 Wonders of the World are unique and they’re all man made.
I don’t know how Central Arizona Project didn’t find its way on that list because
it’s one of the Wonders of the World. It’s vital to Arizona and people like me
and others are going to do everything we can to see it flourishes, develops and
goes forward as it was intended to for a very long time.”
— trent franks, u.s. representative
Epic Snowfall Boosts Lake Mead Storage Reservoir
Yuma Desalination Plant Meeting Treaty Obligations
The long-sought test of the idled Yuma
Desalination Plant (YDP) was completed
in 2011 and demonstrated the potential to
better manage Colorado River supplies.
For years, CAP has urged the Bureau of
Reclamation (BOR) to operate the YDP. The
plant was constructed to reduce the salin-
ity of agricultural drain water in the Yuma
area so that water can be delivered to Mexico
under a 1944 Treaty. When the YDP is not
running, that drain water is “bypassed” to
Mexico and the U.S. does not get credit for
it under the Treaty. That means that BOR
must release extra water from Lake Mead to
satisfy the U.S. Treaty obligation.
In the 1990s, when there were surplus flows
on the Colorado River, operation of the YDP
was not a significant concern. But once the
drought started, CAP and other water users
urged BOR to restart the plant in order to
reduce the additional draw on Lake Mead.
In 2007, the YDP underwent a 90-day dem-
onstration run that showed the plant still
worked. That success led CAP, the Metropoli-
tan Water District of Southern California and
Southern Nevada Water Authority to propose
a one-year pilot run. In return for helping
to fund the pilot run, the agencies received
credits in Lake Mead equal to the volume
of water conserved by the pilot run.
The YDP pilot run began in 2010 and
concluded in March 2011, having conserved
about 30,000 acre-feet of Colorado River
water ahead of schedule and under budget.
There were no substantial equipment
problems and no accidents. The pilot run
enabled BOR to gather cost and performance
data needed to consider potential future
operation of the plant.
BOR and the sponsoring water agencies
will review the results from the pilot run
to evaluate the potential for long-term
and sustained operation of the YDP.
The “bathtub ring” visible at Lake Mead became a little bit smaller in 2011
as the water level in that reservoir rose nearly 50 feet. By late 2010, the
decade-long drought in the Colorado River Basin had dropped Lake Mead
to its lowest level in nearly 50 years. With the water surface elevation
at 1,082 feet above sea level, the Lower Basin was only 7 feet away from its
first-ever shortage declaration, which could have meant a 288,000 acre-
foot reduction in CAP’s annual water supply.
But an epic winter snowpack in the Upper Colorado River Basin yielded
tremendous runoff — inflow into Lake Powell from April through July was
163 percent of the 30-year average — which translated into greater releases
from Lake Powell down to Lake Mead. Instead of the normal release
of 8.23 million acre-feet, Lake Mead received about 12.5 million acre-feet.
That extra water was enough to raise the lake level to 1,133 feet above sea
level, delaying any potential shortage declaration and related cutbacks
to CAP’s Colorado River supply until at least 2016.
The release of water from Lake Powell to Lake Mead is governed by a 2007
agreement among the seven states that share Colorado River water and
implementing guidelines adopted by the Secretary of the Interior to operate
the two reservoirs in a conjunctive manner. The volume of water released
each year depends on lake levels in Powell and Mead. When Powell is
relatively high and Mead is low, more water is released.

“ If you have spent time in Arizona, the Central Arizona Project is one of our
early leadership’s great dreams: bringing water across the state through what
I believe is the world’s longest aqueduct. It’s the culmination of a lot of people’s
hard work and dreams.”
— david schweikert, u.s. representative
“ With our desert climate, one of the biggest things that we had to have was
a steady and reliable source of water. It is used in so many different ways —
whether it’s in development or agriculture or mining — those are the things
that have made Arizona strong.”
— ben quayle, u.s. representative
Organizational Effectiveness
VPP: Keeping Employees Safe
CAP has an award-winning safety
and health program.
In 2011, the Arizona Division of Occupational
Safety and Health (ADOSH) conducted an
audit of CAP and recommended re-approval
as a Voluntary Protection Program (VPP)
Star site. The Star site designation is the high-
est given for employers and employees who
demonstrate exemplary achievement in the
prevention and control of occupational safety
and health hazards.
The VPP Star site is a rare and distinguished
honor for CAP and it reflects the efforts
of the entire staff to consider safety in every
activity and their commitment to watch out
for each other.
Effective Safety Management can have a
positive impact on an organization’s culture,
and ultimately its bottom line; making all
stakeholders better at what they do by focusing
on 4 main categories in effective safety
management. 1) Management Leadership
and Employee Involvement, 2) Worksite
Analysis, 3) Hazard Prevention and Control,
and 4) Safety and Health Training.
This issue affects everyone in the industry
in the form of injury and illnesses, costs
associated with injuries, government
regulations, employee compliance and
many other aspects. By implementing an
effective safety and health management
system CAP has seen results and many positive
benefits. Those benefits include, but are not
limited to, improved performance, less down
time due to breakdowns, improved quality
and customer service, reduced absenteeism,
less turnover, reduced injuries and illness,
improved communication and cooperation
between management and non-management,
ultimately increased savings overall.
Employee safety is paramount at CAP
and is noted by a variety of activities that take
place every day. CAP’s staff realizes that a
safe and healthy workplace allows all employ-
ees to better serve our customers.
In 2011, CAP began to pursue initiatives that make the organization more effective and efficient.
Created and implemented a 2011 Integrated Strategic Plan to take stock of our position and set our direction for the future. Six key results areas include Leadership and Public Trust, Finance, Project Reliability, Water Supply, Power, and Replenishment.
Created a fulltime position of Tribal Affairs and Policy Development manager to enhance coordination related to the negotiation and implementation of Arizona’s tribal water rights settlements. Arizona relies largely on CAP water to settle Indian water rights claims. Forty-seven percent of CAP water is designated for Indian uses.
Standardized fleet vehicles and implemented an electronic vehicle reservation system.
Purchased an aquatic weed boat, saving significant contractor costs.
Purchased a long-reach excavator and dredging pump which efficiently removes sediment, eliminating contractor expenses.
Adopted a four-day work week in June of 2011, reducing significant costs in utilities, janitorial services and security labor.
Developed and implemented a “train the trainer” program using existing staff as in-house training expertise.
Installed LED lighting to dramatically cut energy costs, consumption, materials and labor.
Used fish to manage prolific caddis fly populations eliminating costly, labor-intensive and damaging canal scraping activities.
Created an ECO-team effort to reinforce recycling and environmental awareness by all employees at CAP.
Emphasized safety and wellness initiatives that have reduced health care and insurance costs as well as lost-time accidents and injuries.
Effective communication with the Board, employees, customers and stakeholders has been the key to successfully executing these programs.

“ I think getting a chance to see the whole aspect of Central Arizona Project
is an absolute marvel. This is something that I think is one of the treasures
of technology and the American spirit. This ought to be mandatory teachings
in Arizona, to be able see it, touch it and understand what people actually
really did to get this here.”
