Colorado River Floodway Protection Act

Summary

Colorado River Floodway Protection Act - Establishes under the Secretary of the Interior the Colorado River Floodway Task Force to prepare recommendations concerning the management of land within the Colorado River Floodway. Establishes the Colorado River Floodway, with boundaries to be determined by floodflow levels downstream of Davis Dam. Directs the Secretary to file with the appropriate congressional committees maps of the floodway, and to provide each State, local, or Federal agency affected by such floodway system with copies of such maps. Permits the Secretary to make minor modifications to such maps after timely notice to the State or agency involved. Directs the Secretary to review such maps at least once every five years and to make all necessary changes. Denies the availability of new expenditures or new financial assistance for any purpose within the Floodway, with specified exceptions. Allows the appropriate Federal officer to make Federal expenditures or financial assistance available within the Floodway for: (1) any dam, channel, levee, or other structure whose purpose is flood control, water conservation, power, or water quality drainage facility, or other remedial or corrective measure; (2) the maintenance and expansion of publicly operated roads, structures, or facilities, with specified exceptions; and (3) certain other activities whose purposes are consistent with this Act, such as fish and wildlife enhancement projects, air and water navigation aids, scientific research, emergency assistance, and riverbank stabilization projects. Requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to make written certification each year after FY 1984 that each Federal agency concerned has complied with the provisions of this Act. Requires the Secretary, within one year of enactment of this Act, to submit a report on the Floodway to the appropriate congressional committees, detailing the work of the task force and any recommendations the Secretary may have. Amends the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to limit new flood insurance coverage on new construction or substantial improvements to structures within the Floodway to a date 90 days after the enactment of this Act. Denies the granting of Federal leases on land located within the Floodway unless the Secretary determines that the proposed use of such land will be consistent with the purposes of this Act. Requires pre-Act Federal land lessees to take reasonable steps to minimize any land use inconsistent with the purposes of this Act. Authorizes appropriations. Prohibits the granting of leases between Hoover Dam and Davis Dam unless the Secretary determines that the lease would be consistent with the operation of Lake Mohave.
