Summary
Reclamation States Ground Water Protection and Management Act of 1989 - Directs the Secretary of the Interior to publish criteria for assessing the adequacy of groundwater protection and management programs of the Reclamation States (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming). Requires such criteria to include programs to protect the integrity of such resources and programs for mapping, classifying aquifer systems, and monitoring. Directs the Secretary to identify Reclamation States with significant groundwater problems and assess the adequacy of their protection and management programs. Requires the Secretary to make public both the criteria developed and the States identified. Prohibits the development of a reclamation project in an identified State unless such State has an approved program. Authorizes States to revise Secretary-approved programs, subject to the Secretary's approval. Directs the Secretary to review such programs periodically, notifying a State of any intention to withdraw approval. Requires the Secretary to report to the Congress on what assistance the U.S. Geological Survey Cooperative Research Program can provide States in developing groundwater protection and management programs.
