A bill to amend the Act that authorized construction of the San Luis Unit of the Central Valley Project, California, to facilitate water transfers in the Central Valley Project.

Summary

Amends the Act authorizing construction of the San Luis unit of the Central Valley Project, California, to eliminate certain restrictions on water service for lands in that unit's service area. Prohibits the State of California from using additional capacity to deliver water inside the San Luis service area unless: (1) such delivery is managed to ensure that agricultural drainage discharges arising from such water's use comply with appropriate discharge requirements or, if there are no such requirements, do not cause water quality conditions in the San Joaquin River and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and San Francisco Bay to be degraded or otherwise adversely affected; (2) use of delivered water for irrigation does not frustrate or interfere with U.S.-California efforts to manage agricultural subsurface drainage discharges from such unit; and (3) such delivery is consistent with current operating agreements between the Secretary of the Interior and California that are consistent with this Act. Directs the Secretary: (1) to revise current water agreements between the United States and California to reflect amendments made by this Act; and (2) pending such amendments, not to enforce any such restriction.
