    Sec. 1571. Water quality improvement
-STATUTE-
    (a) Authority to proceed with program
      The Secretary of the Interior, hereinafter referred to as the
    "Secretary", is authorized and directed to proceed with a program
    of works of improvement for the enhancement and protection of the
    quality of water available in the Colorado River for use in the
    United States and the Republic of Mexico, and to enable the United
    States to comply with its obligations under the agreement with
    Mexico of August 30, 1973 (Minute No. 242 of the International
    Boundary and Water Commission, United States and Mexico), concluded
    pursuant to the Treaty of February 3, 1944 (TS 994), in accordance
    with the provisions of this chapter.
    (b) Desalting complexes and plants
      (1) The Secretary is authorized to construct, operate, and
    maintain a desalting complex, including (1) a desalting plant to
    reduce the salinity of drain water from the Wellton-Mohawk division
    of the Gila project, Arizona (hereinafter referred to as the
    division), including a pretreatment plant for settling, softening,
    and filtration of the drain water to be desalted; (2) the necessary
    appurtenant works including the intake pumping plant system,
    product waterline, power transmission facilities, and permanent
    operating facilities; (3) the necessary extension in the United
    States and Mexico of the existing bypass drain to carry the reject
    stream from the desalting plant and other drainage waters to the
    Santa Clara Slough in Mexico, with the part in Mexico, subject to
    arrangements made pursuant to subsection (d) of this section; (4)
    replacement of the metal flume in the existing main outlet drain
    extension with a concrete siphon; (5) reduction of the quantity of
    irrigation return flows through acquisition of lands to reduce the
    size of the division, and irrigation efficiency improvements to
    minimize return flows; (6) acquire on behalf of the United States
    such lands or interest in lands in the Painted Rock Reservoir as
    may be necessary to operate the project in accordance with the
    obligations of Minute No. 242, and (7) all associated facilities
    including roads, railroad spur, and transmission lines.
      (2)(A) The desalting plant shall be designed to treat
    approximately one hundred and twenty-nine million gallons a day of
    drain water using advanced technology commercially available. The
    plant shall effect recovery initially of not less than 70 per
    centum of the drain water as product water, and shall effect
    reduction of not less than 90 per centum of the dissolved solids in
    the feed water. The Secretary shall use sources of electric power
    supply for the desalting complex that will not diminish the supply
    of power to preference customers from Federal power systems
    operated by the Secretary.
      (B) The Secretary is authorized to use electrical power and
    energy available from the Navajo Generating Station which is in
    excess of the Central Arizona Project pumping requirements for the
    purpose of supplying power and energy requirements of the desalting
    plant and protective pumping well field constructed pursuant to
    this subchapter: Provided, That revenues credited to the Lower
    Colorado River Basin Development Fund shall not be diminished below
    those amounts which would have accrued had the power been marketed
    at the rate determined by the Secretary of Energy for the sale of
    power from the Navajo Generating Station to utilities and public
    entities, as a result of the use of power and energy for the
    desalting, protective pumping works, and other uses authorized by
    law, and that power and energy from the Navajo Generating Station
    shall be used first to meet the pumping requirements of the Central
    Arizona Project and after those needs have been met, for the
    desalting and protective pumping facilities constructed pursuant to
    this subchapter, and finally for other uses: Provided further, That
    prior to obtaining power from the Navajo Generating Station under
    the authority of this subsection, the Secretary shall complete an
    analysis of alternative sources of supply, including but not
    limited to the possibility of developing an agreement with the
    Republic of Mexico whereby the United States (or a non-Federal
    entity) would enter into contractual arrangements with Mexico for a
    sufficient supply of power to operate the desalting plant, the
    regulatory pumping fields and appurtenant facilities.
      (C) Effective October 1, 1979, and to such extent and in such
    amounts as are provided in advance in appropriation Acts, the
    Secretary of the Interior is authorized to purchase supplemental
    power and energy as required for the purposes of supplying the
    power and energy requirements of the desalting plant and protective
    pumping well field.
    (c) Replacement water studies
      Replacement of the reject stream from the desalting plant,
    Colorado River waters used for the mitigation of fish and wildlife
    habitat losses and of any Wellton-Mohawk drainage water bypassed to
    the Santa Clara Slough to accomplish essential operation except at
    such times when there exists surplus water of the Colorado River
    under the terms of the Mexican Water Treaty of 1944, is recognized
    as a national obligation as provided in section 1512 of this title.
    Studies to identify feasible measures to provide adequate
    replacement water shall be completed not later than June 30, 1980.
    Said studies shall be limited to potential sources within the
    States of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and those
    portions of Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming which are within the natural
    drainage basin of the Colorado River. Measures found necessary to
    replace the reject stream from the desalting plant, Colorado River
    waters used for the mitigation of fish and wildlife habitat losses
    and any Wellton-Mohawk drainage bypassed to the Santa Clara Slough
    to accomplish essential operations may be undertaken independently
    of the national obligation set forth in section 1512 of this title.
    (d) Advancement of funds for that portion of bypass drain within
      Mexico
      The Secretary is hereby authorized to advance funds to the United
    States section, International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC),
    for construction, operation, and maintenance by Mexico pursuant to
    Minute No. 242 of that portion of the bypass drain within Mexico.
    Such funds shall be transferred to an appropriate Mexican agency,
    under arrangements to be concluded by the IBWC providing for the
    construction, operation, and maintenance of such facility by
    Mexico.
    (e) Desalted water exchange
      Any desalted water not needed for the purposes of this subchapter
    may be exchanged at prices and under terms and conditions
    satisfactory to the Secretary and the proceeds therefrom shall be
    deposited in the General Fund of the Treasury. The city of Yuma,
    Arizona, shall have first right of refusal to any such water.
    (f) Return flow reduction
      For the purpose of reducing the return flows from the division to
    one hundred and seventy-five thousand acre-feet or less, annually,
    the Secretary is authorized to:
        (1) Accelerate the cooperative program of Irrigation Management
      Services with the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage
      District, hereinafter referred to as the district, for the
      purpose of improving irrigation efficiency. The district shall
      bear its share of the cost of such program as determined by the
      Secretary.
        (2) Acquire by purchase or through eminent domain or exchange,
      to the extent determined by him to be appropriate, lands or
      interests in lands to reduce the existing seventy-five thousand
      developed and undeveloped irrigable acres authorized by the Act
      of July 30, 1947 (61 Stat. 628), known as the Gila
      Reauthorization Act [43 U.S.C. 613 et seq.]. The initial
      reduction in irrigable acreage shall be limited to approximately
      ten thousand acres. If the Secretary determines that the
      irrigable acreage of the division must be reduced below sixty-
      five thousand acres of irrigable lands to carry out the purpose
      of this section, the Secretary is authorized, with the consent of
      the district, to acquire additional lands, as may be deemed by
      him to be appropriate.
    (g) Disposal of acquired lands
      The Secretary is authorized to dispose of the acquired lands and
    interests therein on terms and conditions satisfactory to him and
    meeting the objective of this chapter.
    (h) Assistance to water users for installation of system
      improvements
      The Secretary is authorized, either in conjunction with or in
    lieu of land acquisition, to assist water users in the division in
    installing system improvements, such as ditch lining, change of
    field layouts, automatic equipment, sprinkler systems and bubbler
    systems, as a means of increasing irrigation efficiencies:
    Provided, however, That all costs associated with the improvements
    authorized herein and allocated to the water users on the basis of
    benefits received, as determined by the Secretary, shall be
    reimbursed to the United States in amounts and on terms and
    conditions satisfactory to the Secretary.
    (i) Contract amendment
      The Secretary is authorized to amend the contract between the
    United States and the district dated March 4, 1952, as amended, to
    provide that -
        (1) the portion of the existing repayment obligation owing to
      the United States allocable to irrigable acreage eliminated from
      the division for the purposes of this subchapter, as determined
      by the Secretary, shall be nonreimbursable; and
        (2) if deemed appropriate by the Secretary, the district shall
      be given credit against its outstanding repayment obligation to
      offset any increase in operation and maintenance assessments per
      acre which may result from the district's decreased operation and
      maintenance base, all as determined by the Secretary.
    (j) Acquisition of land for storage
      The Secretary is authorized to acquire through the Corps of
    Engineers fee title to, or other necessary interests in, additional
    lands above the Painted Rock Dam in Arizona that are required for
    the temporary storage capacity needed to permit operation of the
    dam and reservoir in times of serious flooding in accordance with
    the obligations of the United States under Minute No. 242. No funds
    shall be expended for acquisition of land or interests therein
    until it is finally determined by a Federal court of competent
    jurisdiction that the Corps of Engineers presently lacks legal
    authority to use said lands for this purpose. Nothing contained in
    this subchapter nor any action taken pursuant to it shall be deemed
    to be a recognition or admission of any obligation to the owners of
    such land on the part of the United States or a limitation or
    deficiency in the rights or powers of the United States with
    respect to such lands or the operation of the reservoir.
    (k) Transfer of funds
      To the extent desirable to carry out subsections (f)(1) and (h)
    of this section, the Secretary may transfer funds to the Secretary
    of Agriculture as may be required for technical assistance to
    farmers, conduct of research and demonstrations, and such related
    investigations as are required to achieve higher on-farm irrigation
    efficiencies.
    (l) Nonreimbursable costs
      All cost associated with the desalting complex shall be
    nonreimbursable except as provided in subsections (f) and (h) of
    this section.

      United States for municipal and industrial or irrigation
      purposes: Provided, That such contracts for municipal and
      industrial purposes shall contain terms and conditions as
      substantially provided in section 485h(c)(1) of this title, and
      that contracts for replacement irrigation water supplies to
      prevent damage to existing water users on privately developed
      lands include water charges no greater than if such water users
      had continued to pump their own wells without the United States
      lowering the water table and that the acreage limitation and
      related provisions of the Reclamation Law [43 U.S.C. 371 et seq.]
      will not be applicable to such privately developed lands:
      Provided further, That no contract shall be entered which will
      impair the ability of the United States to continue to deliver to
      Mexico on the land boundary at San Luis and in the Limitrophe
      Section of the Colorado River downstream from Morelos Dam
      approximately one hundred and forty thousand acre-feet annually,
      consistent with the terms contained in Minute No. 242 of the
      IBWC.
      (b) The cost of work provided for in this section, including

    canals and laterals with pipe, and the combining of existing canals
    and laterals into fewer and more efficient facilities implementing
    other measures to reduce salt contributions from the Grand Valley
    to the Colorado River, and implementing measures to replace
    incidental fish and wildlife values foregone..(!1) Prior to
    initiation of construction of the Grand Valley unit, or portion
    thereof, the Secretary shall enter into contracts through which the
    non-Federal entities owning, operating, and maintaining the water
    distribution systems, or portions thereof, in Grand Valley, singly
    or in concert, will assume the obligations specified in subsection
    (b)(2) of this section relating to the continued operation and
    maintenance of the unit's facilities to the end that the maximum
    reduction of salinity inflow to the Colorado River will be
    achieved.

    Valley, and consisting of measures to replace incidental fish and
    wildlife values foregone, essentially as described in the
    feasibility report and final environmental statement dated February
    10, 1984. Prior to initiation of construction of stage I of the
    Lower Gunnison Basin unit, or of a portion of stage I, the
    Secretary shall enter into contracts through which the non-Federal
    entities owning, operating, and maintaining the water distribution
    systems, or portions thereof, in the Uncompahgre Valley, singly or
    in concert, will assume the obligations specified in subsection
    (b)(2) of this section relating to the continued operation and
    maintenance of the unit's facilities.
      (5) Portions of the McElmo Creek unit, Colorado, as components of
    the Dolores participating project, Colorado River Storage project,
    authorized by Public Law 90-537 [43 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.] and Public
    Law 84-485 [43 U.S.C. 620 et seq.], consisting of all measures and
    all necessary appurtenant and associated works to reduce seepage
    only from the Towaoc-Highline combined canal, Rocky Ford laterals,
    Lone Pine lateral, and Upper Hermana lateral, and consisting of
    measures to replace incidental fish and wildlife values foregone.
    The Dolores participating project shall have salinity control as a
    project purpose insofar as these specific facilities are concerned:
    Provided, That the costs of construction and replacement of these
    specific facilities shall be allocated by the Secretary to salinity
    control and irrigation only after consultation with the State of
    Colorado, the Montezuma Valley Irrigation District, Colorado, and
    the Dolores Water Conservancy District, Colorado: And provided
    further, That such allocation of costs to salinity control will
    include only the separable and specific costs of these specific
    facilities and will not include any joint costs of any other
    facilities of the Dolores participating project. Repayment of costs
    allocated to salinity control shall be subject to this chapter.
    Repayment of costs allocated to irrigation shall be subject to the
    Acts which authorized the Dolores participating project, the
    Reclamation Act of 1902, and Acts amendatory and supplementary
    thereto. Prior to initiation of construction of these specific
    facilities, or a portion thereof, the Secretary shall enter into
    contracts through which the non-Federal entities owning, operating,
    and maintaining the water distribution systems, or portions
    thereof, in the Montezuma Valley, singly or in concert, will assume
    the obligations specified in subsection (b)(2) of this section
    relating to the continued operation and maintenance of the unit's
    facilities.
      (6) A basinwide salinity control program that the Secretary,
    acting through the Bureau of Reclamation, shall implement. The
    Secretary may carry out the purposes of this paragraph directly, or
    may make grants, commitments for grants, or advances of funds to
    non-Federal entities under such terms and conditions as the
    Secretary may require. Such program shall consist of cost-effective
    measures and associated works to reduce salinity from saline
    springs, leaking wells, irrigation sources, industrial sources,
    erosion of public and private land, or other sources that the
    Secretary considers appropriate. Such program shall provide for the
    mitigation of incidental fish and wildlife values that are lost as
    a result of the measures and associated works. The Secretary shall
    submit a planning report concerning the program established under
    this paragraph to the appropriate committees of Congress. The
    Secretary may not expend funds for any implementation measure under
    the program established under this paragraph before the expiration
    of a 30-day period beginning on the date on which the Secretary
    submits such report.
    (b) Implementation of authorized units
      In implementing the units authorized to be constructed pursuant
    to subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary shall carry out
    the following directions:
        (1) As reports are completed describing final implementation
      plans for the unit, or any portion thereof, authorized by
      paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of this section, and prior to
      expenditure of funds for related construction activities, the
      Secretary shall submit such reports to the appropriate committees
      of the Congress and to the governors of the Colorado River Basin
      States.
        (2) Non-Federal entities shall be required by the Secretary to
      contract for the long-term operation and maintenance of canal and
      lateral systems constructed pursuant to activities provided for
      in subsection (a) of this section: Provided, That the Secretary
      shall reimburse such non-Federal entities for the costs of such
      operation and maintenance to the extent the costs exceed the
      expenses that would have been incurred by them in the thorough
      and timely operation and maintenance of their canal and lateral
      systems absent the construction of a unit, said expenses to be
      determined by the Secretary after consultation with the involved
      non-Federal entities. The operation and maintenance for which non-
      Federal entities shall be responsible shall include such
      repairing and replacing of a unit's facilities as are associated
      with normal annual maintenance activities in order to keep such
      facilities in a condition which will assure maximum reduction of
      salinity inflow to the Colorado River. These non-Federal entities
      shall not be responsible, nor incur any costs, for the
      replacement of a unit's facilities, including measures to replace
      incidental fish and wildlife values foregone. The term
      replacement shall be defined for the purposes of this subchapter
      as a major modification or reconstruction of a completed unit, or
      portion thereof, which is necessitated, through no fault of the
      non-Federal entity or entities operating and maintaining a unit,
      by design or construction inadequacies or by normal limits on the
      useful life of a facility. The Secretary is authorized to provide
      continuing technical assistance to non-Federal entities to assure
      the effective and efficient operation and maintenance of a unit's
      facilities.
        (3) The Secretary may, under authority of this subchapter, and
      limited to the purposes of this chapter, fund through a grant or
      contract, for any fiscal year only to such extent or in such
      amounts as are provided in appropriation Acts, a non-Federal
      entity to organize private canal and lateral owners into formal
      organizations with which the Secretary may enter into a grant or
      contract to construct, operate, and maintain a unit's facilities.
        (4) In implementing the units authorized to be constructed or
      the program pursuant to paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), and
      (6) of subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary shall comply
      with procedural and substantive State water laws.
        (5) The Secretary may, under authority of this subchapter and
      limited to the purposes of this chapter, fund through a grant or
      contract, for any fiscal year only to such extent or in such
      amounts as are provided in appropriation Acts, a non-Federal
      entity to operate and maintain measures to replace incidental
      fish and wildlife values foregone.
        (6) In implementing the units authorized to be constructed
      pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary shall
      implement measures to replace incidental fish and wildlife values
      foregone concurrently with the implementation of a unit's, or a
      portion of a unit's, related features.
    (c) Salinity control measures
      The Secretary of Agriculture shall carry out salinity control
    measures (including watershed enhancement and cost-share measures
    with livestock and crop producers) in the Colorado River Basin as
    part of the environmental quality incentives program established
    under chapter 4 of subtitle D of title XII of the Food Security Act
    of 1985 [16 U.S.C. 3839aa et seq.].

      (ii) Costs allocated to the upper basin shall be repaid with
    interest within a fifty-year period, or within a period equal to
    the estimated life of the unit, separable feature thereof,
    replacement, or on-farm measure, whichever is less, from the date
    such unit, separable feature thereof, replacement, or on-farm
    measure is determined by the Secretary or the Secretary of
    Agriculture to be in operation.
      (iii) Costs allocated to the lower basin shall be repaid without
    interest as such costs are incurred to the extent that money is
    available from the Lower Colorado River Basin development fund to
    repay costs allocated to the lower basin. If in any fiscal year the
    money available from the Lower Colorado River Basin development
    fund for such repayment is insufficient to repay the costs
    allocated to the lower basin, as provided in the preceding
    sentence, the deficiency shall be repaid with interest as soon as
    money becomes available in the fund for repayment of those costs.
      (iv) The interest rates used pursuant to this chapter shall be
    determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into
    consideration average market yields on outstanding marketable
    obligations of the United States with remaining periods to maturity
    comparable to the reimbursement period during the month preceding
    October 30, 1984, for costs outstanding at that date, or, in the
    case of costs incurred subsequent to October 30, 1984, during the
    month preceding the fiscal year in which the costs are incurred.

    feature thereof authorized by section 1592(a) of this title and of
    measures to replace incidental fish and wildlife values foregone
    allocated to the upper basin and to the lower basin under
    subsection (a)(2) of this section shall be repaid without interest
    in the fiscal year next succeeding the fiscal year in which such
    costs are incurred. In the event that revenues are not available to
    repay the portion of operation and maintenance costs allocated to
    the Upper Colorado River Basin fund and to the Lower Colorado River
    Basin development fund in the year next succeeding the fiscal year
    in which such costs are incurred, the deficiency shall be repayed
    (!5) with interest calculated in the same manner as provided in
    subsection (a)(4)(iv) of this section. Any reimbursement due non-
    Federal entities pursuant to section 1592(b)(2) of this title
    shall be repaid without interest in the fiscal year next succeeding
    the fiscal year in which such operation and maintenance costs are
    incurred.
    (b) Costs payable from Lower Colorado River Basin Development Fund
      (1) Costs of construction, operation, maintenance, and
    replacement of each unit or separable feature thereof authorized by
    section 1592(a) of this title, costs of construction, operation,
    and maintenance of measures to replace incidental fish and wildlife
    values foregone, and costs of implementation of the on-farm

    section shall be paid in accordance with section 620d(d)(5) of this
    title from the Upper Colorado River Basin Fund within the limit of
    the funds made available under subsection (e) of this section.
    (d) Omitted
    (e) Upward adjustment of rates for electrical energy
      The Secretary is authorized to make upward adjustments in rates
    charged for electrical energy under all contracts administered by
    the Secretary under the Colorado River Storage Project Act (70
    Stat. 105; 43 U.S.C. 620) as soon as practicable and to the extent
    necessary to cover the costs allocated to the Upper Colorado River
    Basin Fund under subsection (a)(2) of this section and in
    conformity with subsection (a)(3), subsection (a)(4) and subsection
    (a)(5) of this section: Provided, That revenues derived from said
    rate adjustments shall be available solely for the construction,
    operation, maintenance, and replacement of salinity control units,
    for the construction, operation, and maintenance of measures to
    replace incidental fish and wildlife values foregone, and for the
    implementation of on-farm measures in the Colorado River Basin
    herein authorized.
    (f) Funds
