Summary
Modifies the Belle Fourche irrigation project, South Dakota, to include construction, betterment of works, water conservation, recreation, and fish and wildlife conservation and development. Redesignates such projects as the "Belle Fourche Unit" of the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin program. Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to negotiate and execute an amendatory repayment contract with the Belle Fourche Irrigation District covering all lands of the existing Belle Fourche project.

States conditions for such sales of project water. Authorizes appropriations.
