Requires the Secretary: (1) and the heads of appropriate Federal agencies to develop a permanent governance structure for such program; and (2) to give first priority to meeting obligations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 when allocating the environmental water account and program assets. Requires public participation in the program. Outlines program compliance requirements and conditions on the use of available program funds.
