                        promote healthy, viable, and more naturally 
                        distributed wildlife populations that would 
                        enhance wilderness values while causing the 
                        minimum impact necessary to accomplish those

        or local agency.
            (10) Adjacent management.--
                    (A) In general.--The designation of a wilderness

                including military overflights that can be seen or 
                heard within the wilderness areas;
                    (B) flight testing and evaluation; or

                flight training routes, over the wilderness areas.
            (12) Water rights.--
                    (A) In general.--The designation of areas as 
                wilderness by subsection (a) shall not create an 
                express or implied reservation by the United States of 
                any water or water rights for wilderness purposes with 
                respect to such areas.

          Subtitle B--Prehistoric Trackways National Monument

SEC. 2101. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) in 1987, a major deposit of Paleozoic Era fossilized 
        footprint megatrackways was discovered in the Robledo Mountains 
        in southern New Mexico;
            (2) the trackways contain footprints of numerous 
        amphibians, reptiles, and insects (including previously unknown 
        species), plants, and petrified wood dating back approximately 
        280,000,000 years, which collectively provide new opportunities 
        to understand animal behaviors and environments from a time 
        predating the dinosaurs;
            (3) title III of Public Law 101-578 (104 Stat. 2860)--
                    (A) provided interim protection for the site at 
                which the trackways were discovered; and
                    (B) directed the Secretary of the Interior to--
                            (i) prepare a study assessing the 
                        significance of the site; and
                            (ii) based on the study, provide 
                        recommendations for protection of the 
                        paleontological resources at the site;
            (4) the Bureau of Land Management completed the Paleozoic 
        Trackways Scientific Study Report in 1994, which characterized 
        the site as containing ``the most scientifically significant 
        Early Permian tracksites'' in the world;
            (5) despite the conclusion of the study and the 
        recommendations for protection, the site remains unprotected 
        and many irreplaceable trackways specimens have been lost to 
        vandalism or theft; and
            (6) designation of the trackways site as a National 
        Monument would protect the unique fossil resources for present 
        and future generations while allowing for public education and 
        continued scientific research opportunities.

        the health, economy, security, and ecology of the United

            (2) systematic data-gathering with respect to, and research 
        and development of, the water resources of the United States

                Joaquin River south of the confluence with the Merced 
                River required under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 
                (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) as a result of the Interim 
                Flows.
            (2) Conditions for release.--The Secretary is authorized to 
        release Interim Flows to the extent that such flows would not--
                    (A) impede or delay completion of the measures 
                specified in Paragraph 11(a) of the Settlement; or
                    (B) exceed existing downstream channel capacities.
            (3) Seepage impacts.--The Secretary shall reduce Interim 
        Flows to the extent necessary to address any material adverse

        such flows that the Secretary identifies based on the 
        monitoring program of the Secretary.
            (4) Temporary fish barrier program.--The Secretary, in 
        consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game, 
        shall evaluate the effectiveness of the Hills Ferry barrier in 
        preventing the unintended upstream migration of anadromous fish 
        in the San Joaquin River and any false migratory pathways. If 
        that evaluation determines that any such migration past the 
        barrier is caused by the introduction of the Interim Flows and 
        that the presence of such fish will result in the imposition of 
        additional regulatory actions against third parties, the 
        Secretary is authorized to assist the Department of Fish and 
        Game in making improvements to the barrier. From funding made 
        available in accordance with section 10009, if third parties 
        along the San Joaquin River south of its confluence with the 
        Merced River are required to install fish screens or fish 
        bypass facilities due to the release of Interim Flows in order 
        to comply with the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 
        1531 et seq.), the Secretary shall bear the costs of the 
        installation of such screens or facilities if such costs would 
        be borne by the Federal Government under section 10009(a)(3), 
        except to the extent that such costs are already or are further 
        willingly borne by the State of California or by the third 
        parties.
    (i) Funding Availability.--
            (1) In general.--Funds shall be collected in the San 
        Joaquin River Restoration Fund through October 1, 2019, and 
        thereafter, with substantial amounts available through October 
        1, 2019, pursuant to section 10009 for implementation of the 
        Settlement and parts I and III, including--
                    (A) $88,000,000, to be available without further 
                appropriation pursuant to section 10009(c)(2);
                    (B) additional amounts authorized to be 
                appropriated, including the charges required under 
                section 10007 and an estimated $20,000,000 from the CVP 
                Restoration Fund pursuant to section 10009(b)(2); and
                    (C) an aggregate commitment of at least 
                $200,000,000 by the State of California.
            (2) Additional amounts.--Substantial additional amounts 
        from the San Joaquin River Restoration Fund shall become 
        available without further appropriation after October 1, 2019, 
        pursuant to section 10009(c)(2).
            (3) Effect of subsection.--Nothing in this subsection 
        limits the availability of funds authorized for appropriation 
        pursuant to section 10009(b) or 10203(c).
    (j) San Joaquin River Exchange Contract.--Subject to section 
10006(b), nothing in this part shall modify or amend the rights and 
obligations under the Purchase Contract between Miller and Lux and the 
United States and the Second Amended Exchange Contract between the 
United States, Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation and 
Central California Irrigation District, San Luis Canal Company, 
Firebaugh Canal Water District and Columbia Canal Company.

                    (A) In general.--The Secretary shall file a report 
                with Congress not later than 90 days after issuing a

                whether to expand channel conveyance capacity to 4500 
                cubic feet per second in reach 4B of the San Joaquin 
                River, or use an alternative route for pulse flows,

                                otherwise, as to whether the expansion 
                                of Reach 4B would be the preferable 
                                means to achieve the Restoration Goal 
                                as provided in the Settlement, 
                                including how different factors were 
                                assessed such as comparative biological 
                                and habitat benefits, comparative 
                                costs, relative availability of State 
                                cost-sharing funds, and the comparative 
                                benefits and impacts on water 
                                temperature, water supply, private 
                                property, and local and downstream 
                                flood control.
                                    (II) The Secretary's final cost 
                                estimate for expanding Reach 4B 
                                capacity to 4500 cubic feet per second, 
                                or any alternative route selected, as 
                                well as the alternative cost estimates 
                                provided by the State, by the 
                                Restoration Administrator, and by the

                                    (III) The Secretary's plan for 
                                funding the costs of expanding Reach 4B 
                                or any alternative route selected, 
                                whether by existing Federal funds 
                                provided under this subtitle, by non-
                                Federal funds, by future Federal 
                                appropriations, or some combination of 
                                such sources.
                    (B) Determination required.--The Secretary shall, 
                to the extent feasible, make the determination in 
                subparagraph (A) prior to undertaking any substantial 
                construction work to increase capacity in reach 4B.
            (3) Costs.--If the Secretary's estimated Federal cost for 
        expanding reach 4B in paragraph (2), in light of the 
        Secretary's funding plan set out in that paragraph, would 
        exceed the remaining Federal funding authorized by this part 
        (including all funds reallocated, all funds dedicated, and all 
        new funds authorized by this part and separate from all 
        commitments of State and other non-Federal funds and in-kind 
        commitments), then before the Secretary commences actual 
        construction work in reach 4B (other than planning, design, 
        feasibility, or other preliminary measures) to expand capacity 
        to 4500 cubic feet per second to implement this Settlement, 
        Congress must have increased the applicable authorization 
        ceiling provided by this part in an amount at least sufficient 
        to cover the higher estimated Federal costs.

                    (A) require the repayment, either in lump sum or by 
                accelerated prepayment, of the remaining amount of 
                construction costs identified in the Central Valley 
                Project Schedule of Irrigation Capital Rates by 
                Contractor 2007 Irrigation Water Rates, dated January 
                25, 2007, as adjusted to reflect payments not reflected 
                in such schedule, and properly assignable for ultimate 
                return by the contractor, no later than January 31, 
                2011, or if made in approximately equal annual 
                installments, no later than January 31, 2014; such 
                amount to be discounted by \1/2\ the Treasury Rate. An 
                estimate of the remaining amount of construction costs 
                as of January 31, 2011, as adjusted, shall be provided 
                by the Secretary to each contractor no later than June 
                30, 2010;
                    (B) require that, notwithstanding subsection 
                (c)(2), construction costs or other capitalized costs 
                incurred after the effective date of the contract or 
                not reflected in the schedule referenced in 
                subparagraph (A), and properly assignable to such 
                contractor, shall be repaid in not more than 5 years 
                after notification of the allocation if such amount is 
                a result of a collective annual allocation of capital 
                costs to the contractors exercising contract 
                conversions under this subsection of less than 
                $5,000,000. If such amount is $5,000,000 or greater, 
                such cost shall be repaid as provided by applicable 
                Reclamation law, provided that the reference to the 
                amount of $5,000,000 shall not be a precedent in any 
                other context;
                    (C) provide that power revenues will not be 
                available to aid in repayment of construction costs 
                allocated to irrigation under the contract; and
                    (D) conform to the Settlement and this part and 
                shall continue so long as the contractor pays 
                applicable charges, consistent with subsection (c)(2) 
                and applicable law.
            (4) All such contracts entered into pursuant to paragraph 
        (2) shall--
                    (A) require the repayment in lump sum of the 
                remaining amount of construction costs identified in 
                the most current version of the Central Valley Project 
                Schedule of Municipal and Industrial Water Rates, as 
                adjusted to reflect payments not reflected in such 
                schedule, and properly assignable for ultimate return 
                by the contractor, no later than January 31, 2014. An 
                estimate of the remaining amount of construction costs 
                as of January 31, 2014, as adjusted, shall be provided 
                by the Secretary to each contractor no later than June 
                30, 2013;
                    (B) require that, notwithstanding subsection 
                (c)(2), construction costs or other capitalized costs 
                incurred after the effective date of the contract or 
                not reflected in the schedule referenced in 
                subparagraph (A), and properly assignable to such 
                contractor, shall be repaid in not more than 5 years 
                after notification of the allocation if such amount is 
                a result of a collective annual allocation of capital 
                costs to the contractors exercising contract 
                conversions under this subsection of less than 
                $5,000,000. If such amount is $5,000,000 or greater, 
                such cost shall be repaid as provided by applicable 
                Reclamation law, provided that the reference to the 
                amount of $5,000,000 shall not be a precedent in any 
                other context; and
                    (C) conform to the Settlement and this part and 
                shall continue so long as the contractor pays 
                applicable charges, consistent with subsection (c)(2) 
                and applicable law.
    (b) Final Adjustment.--The amounts paid pursuant to subsection (a) 
shall be subject to adjustment following a final cost allocation by the 
Secretary upon completion of the construction of the Central Valley 
Project. In the event that the final cost allocation indicates that the 
costs properly assignable to the contractor are greater than what has 
been paid by the contractor, the contractor shall be obligated to pay 
the remaining allocated costs. The term of such additional repayment 
contract shall be no less than 1 year and no more than 10 years, 
however, mutually agreeable provisions regarding the rate of repayment 
of such amount may be developed by the parties. In the event that the 
final cost allocation indicates that the costs properly assignable to 
the contractor are less than what the contractor has paid, the 
Secretary is authorized and directed to credit such overpayment as an 
offset against any outstanding or future obligation of the contractor.
    (c) Applicability of Certain Provisions.--
            (1) Notwithstanding any repayment obligation under 
        subsection (a)(3)(B) or subsection (b), upon a contractor's 
        compliance with and discharge of the obligation of repayment of 
        the construction costs as provided in subsection (a)(3)(A), the 
        provisions of section 213(a) and (b) of the Reclamation Reform 
        Act of 1982 (96 Stat. 1269) shall apply to lands in such 
        district.
            (2) Notwithstanding any repayment obligation under 
        paragraph (3)(B) or (4)(B) of subsection (a), or subsection 
        (b), upon a contractor's compliance with and discharge of the 
        obligation of repayment of the construction costs as provided 
        in paragraphs (3)(A) and (4)(A) of subsection (a), the 
        Secretary shall waive the pricing provisions of section 3405(d) 
        of the Reclamation Projects Authorization and Adjustment Act of 
        1992 (Public Law 102-575) for such contractor, provided that 
        such contractor shall continue to pay applicable operation and 
        maintenance costs and other charges applicable to such 
        repayment contracts pursuant to the then-current rate-setting 
        policy and applicable law.
            (3) Provisions of the Settlement applying to Friant 
        Division, Hidden Unit, and Buchanan Unit long-term water 
        service contracts shall also apply to contracts executed 
        pursuant to this section.
    (d) Reduction of Charge for Those Contracts Converted Pursuant to 
Subsection (a)(1).--
            (1) At the time all payments by the contractor required by 
        subsection (a)(3)(A) have been completed, the Secretary shall 
        reduce the charge mandated in section 10007(1) of this part, 
        from 2020 through 2039, to offset the financing costs as 
        defined in section 10010(d)(3). The reduction shall be 
        calculated at the time all payments by the contractor required 
        by subsection (a)(3)(A) have been completed. The calculation 
        shall remain fixed from 2020 through 2039 and shall be based 
        upon anticipated average annual water deliveries, as mutually 
        agreed upon by the Secretary and the contractor, for the period 
        from 2020 through 2039, and the amounts of such reductions 
        shall be discounted using the Treasury Rate; provided, that 
        such charge shall not be reduced to less than $4.00 per acre 
        foot of project water delivered; provided further, that such 
        reduction shall be implemented annually unless the Secretary 
        determines, based on the availability of other monies, that the 
        charges mandated in section 10007(1) are otherwise needed to 
        cover ongoing federal costs of the Settlement, including any 
        federal operation and maintenance costs of facilities that the 
        Secretary determines are needed to implement the Settlement. If 
        the Secretary determines that such charges are necessary to 
        cover such ongoing federal costs, the Secretary shall, instead 
        of making the reduction in such charges, reduce the 
        contractor's operation and maintenance obligation by an 
        equivalent amount, and such amount shall not be recovered by 
        the United States from any Central Valley Project contractor, 
        provided nothing herein shall affect the obligation of the 
        contractor to make payments pursuant to a transfer agreement 
        with a non-federal operating entity.
            (2) If the calculated reduction in paragraph (1), taking 
        into consideration the minimum amount required, does not result 
        in the contractor offsetting its financing costs, the Secretary 
        is authorized and directed to reduce, after October 1, 2019, 
        any outstanding or future obligations of the contractor to the 
        Bureau of Reclamation, other than the charge assessed and 
        collected under section 3407(d) of Public law 102-575, by the 
        amount of such deficiency, with such amount indexed to 2020 
        using the Treasury Rate and such amount shall not be recovered 
        by the United States from any Central Valley Project 
        contractor, provided nothing herein shall affect the obligation 
        of the contractor to make payments pursuant to a transfer 
        agreement with a non-Federal operating entity.
            (3) Financing costs, for the purposes of this subsection, 
        shall be computed as the difference of the net present value of 
        the construction cost identified in subsection (a)(3)(A) using 
        the full Treasury Rate as compared to using one half of the 
        Treasury Rate and applying those rates against a calculated 
        average annual capital repayment through 2030.
            (4) Effective in 2040, the charge shall revert to the 
        amount called for in section 10007(1) of this part.
            (5) For purposes of this section, ``Treasury Rate'' shall 
        be defined as the 20 year Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) rate 
        published by the United States Department of the Treasury as of 
        October 1, 2010.
    (e) Satisfaction of Certain Provisions.--
            (1) In general.--Upon the first release of Interim Flows or 
        Restoration Flows, pursuant to paragraphs 13 or 15 of the 
        Settlement, any short- or long-term agreement, to which 1 or 
        more long-term Friant Division, Hidden Unit, or Buchanan Unit 
        contractor that converts its contract pursuant to subsection 
        (a) is a party, providing for the transfer or exchange of water 
        not released as Interim Flows or Restoration Flows shall be 
        deemed to satisfy the provisions of subsection 3405(a)(1)(A) 
        and (I) of the Reclamation Projects Authorization and 
        Adjustment Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-575) without the further 
        concurrence of the Secretary as to compliance with said 
        subsections if the contractor provides, not later than 90 days 
        before commencement of any such transfer or exchange for a 
        period in excess of 1 year, and not later than 30 days before 
        commencement of any proposed transfer or exchange with duration 
        of less than 1 year, written notice to the Secretary stating 
        how the proposed transfer or exchange is intended to reduce, 
        avoid, or mitigate impacts to water deliveries caused by the 
        Interim Flows or Restoration Flows or is intended to otherwise 
        facilitate the Water Management Goal, as described in the 
        Settlement. The Secretary shall promptly make such notice 
        publicly available.
            (2) Determination of reductions to water deliveries.--Water 
        transferred or exchanged under an agreement that meets the 
        terms of this subsection shall not be counted as a replacement 
        or an offset for purposes of determining reductions to water 
        deliveries to any Friant Division long-term contractor except 
        as provided in paragraph 16(b) of the Settlement. The Secretary 
        shall, at least annually, make publicly available a compilation 
        of the number of transfer or exchange agreements exercising the 
        provisions of this subsection to reduce, avoid, or mitigate 
        impacts to water deliveries caused by the Interim Flows or 
        Restoration Flows or to facilitate the Water Management Goal, 
        as well as the volume of water transferred or exchanged under 
        such agreements.
            (3) State law.--Nothing in this subsection alters State law 
        or permit conditions, including any applicable geographical 
        restrictions on the place of use of water transferred or 
        exchanged pursuant to this subsection.
    (f) Certain Repayment Obligations Not Altered.--Implementation of 
the provisions of this section shall not alter the repayment obligation 
of any other long-term water service or repayment contractor receiving 
water from the Central Valley Project, or shift any costs that would 
otherwise have been properly assignable to the Friant contractors 
absent this section, including operations and maintenance costs, 
construction costs, or other capitalized costs incurred after the date 
of enactment of this Act, to other such contractors.
    (g) Statutory Interpretation.--Nothing in this part shall be 
construed to affect the right of any Friant Division, Hidden Unit, or 
Buchanan Unit long-term contractor to use a particular type of 
financing to make the payments required in paragraph (3)(A) or (4)(A) 
of subsection (a).

SEC. 10011. CALIFORNIA CENTRAL VALLEY SPRING RUN CHINOOK SALMON.

    (a) Finding.--Congress finds that the implementation of the 
Settlement to resolve 18 years of contentious litigation regarding 
restoration of the San Joaquin River and the reintroduction of the 
California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon is a unique and 
unprecedented circumstance that requires clear expressions of 
Congressional intent regarding how the provisions of the Endangered 
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) are utilized to achieve 
the goals of restoration of the San Joaquin River and the successful 
reintroduction of California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon.
    (b) Reintroduction in the San Joaquin River.--California Central 
Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon shall be reintroduced in the San 
Joaquin River below Friant Dam pursuant to section 10(j) of the 
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1539(j)) and the Settlement, 
provided that the Secretary of Commerce finds that a permit for the 
reintroduction of California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon 
may be issued pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species 
Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1539(a)(1)(A)).
    (c) Final Rule.--
            (1) Definition of third party.--For the purpose of this 
        subsection, the term ``third party'' means persons or entities 
        diverting or receiving water pursuant to applicable State and 
        Federal laws and shall include Central Valley Project 
        contractors outside of the Friant Division of the Central 
        Valley Project and the State Water Project.
            (2) Issuance.--The Secretary of Commerce shall issue a 
        final rule pursuant to section 4(d) of the Endangered Species 
        Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(d)) governing the incidental take 
        of reintroduced California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook 
        salmon prior to the reintroduction.
            (3) Required components.--The rule issued under paragraph 
        (2) shall provide that the reintroduction will not impose more 
        than de minimus: water supply reductions, additional storage 
        releases, or bypass flows on unwilling third parties due to 
        such reintroduction.
            (4) Applicable law.--Nothing in this section--
                    (A) diminishes the statutory or regulatory 
                protections provided in the Endangered Species Act of 
                1973 for any species listed pursuant to section 4 of 
                the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533) 
                other than the reintroduced population of California 
                Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon, including 
                protections pursuant to existing biological opinions or 
                new biological opinions issued by the Secretary or 
                Secretary of Commerce; or
                    (B) precludes the Secretary or Secretary of 
                Commerce from imposing protections under the Endangered 
                Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) for other 
                species listed pursuant to section 4 of that Act (16 
                U.S.C. 1533) because those protections provide 
                incidental benefits to such reintroduced California 
                Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon.
    (d) Report.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than December 31, 2024, the 
        Secretary of Commerce shall report to Congress on the progress 
        made on the reintroduction set forth in this section and the 
        Secretary's plans for future implementation of this section.
            (2) Inclusions.--The report under paragraph (1) shall 
        include--
                    (A) an assessment of the major challenges, if any, 
                to successful reintroduction;
                    (B) an evaluation of the effect, if any, of the 
                reintroduction on the existing population of California 
                Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon existing on 
                the Sacramento River or its tributaries; and
                    (C) an assessment regarding the future of the 
                reintroduction.
    (e) FERC Projects.--
            (1) In general.--With regard to California Central Valley 
        Spring Run Chinook salmon reintroduced pursuant to the 
        Settlement, the Secretary of Commerce shall exercise its 
        authority under section 18 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 
        811) by reserving its right to file prescriptions in 
        proceedings for projects licensed by the Federal Energy 
        Regulatory Commission on the Calaveras, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, 
        Merced, and San Joaquin rivers and otherwise consistent with 
        subsection (c) until after the expiration of the term of the 
        Settlement, December 31, 2025, or the expiration of the 
        designation made pursuant to subsection (b), whichever ends 
        first.
            (2) Effect of subsection.--Nothing in this subsection shall 
        preclude the Secretary of Commerce from imposing prescriptions 
        pursuant to section 18 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 811) 
        solely for other anadromous fish species because those 
        prescriptions provide incidental benefits to such reintroduced 
        California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon.
    (f) Effect of Section.--Nothing in this section is intended or 
shall be construed--
            (1) to modify the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 
        1531 et seq.) or the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et 
        seq.); or
            (2) to establish a precedent with respect to any other 
        application of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 
        1531 et seq.) or the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et 
        seq.).

SEC. 10202. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR LOCAL PROJECTS.

    (a) Authorization.--The Secretary is authorized to provide 
financial assistance to local agencies within the Central Valley 
Project, California, for the planning, design, environmental 
compliance, and construction of local facilities to bank water 
underground or to recharge groundwater, and that recover such water, 
provided that the project meets the criteria in subsection (b). The 
Secretary is further authorized to require that any such local agency 
receiving financial assistance under the terms of this section submit 
progress reports and accountings to the Secretary, as the Secretary 
deems appropriate, which such reports shall be publicly available.
    (b) Criteria.--
            (1) A project shall be eligible for Federal financial 
        assistance under subsection (a) only if all or a portion of the 
        project is designed to reduce, avoid, or offset the quantity of 
        the expected water supply impacts to Friant Division long-term 
        contractors caused by the Interim or Restoration Flows 
        authorized in part I of this subtitle, and such quantities have 
        not already been reduced, avoided, or offset by other programs 
        or projects.
            (2) Federal financial assistance shall only apply to the 
        portion of a project that the local agency designates as 
        reducing, avoiding, or offsetting the expected water supply 
        impacts caused by the Interim or Restoration Flows authorized 
        in part I of this subtitle, consistent with the methodology 
        developed pursuant to paragraph (3)(C).
            (3) No Federal financial assistance shall be provided by 
        the Secretary under this part for construction of a project 
        under subsection (a) unless the Secretary--

                and environmental compliance activities associated with 
                such a project have been completed, and that the 
                Secretary has been offered the opportunity to 
                participate in the project at a price that is no higher 
                than the local agency's own costs, in order to secure 
                necessary storage, extraction, and conveyance rights 
                for water that may be needed to meet the Restoration 
                Goal as described in part I of this subtitle, where 
                such project has capacity beyond that designated for 
                the purposes in paragraph (2) or where it is feasible 
                to expand such project to allow participation by the 
                Secretary;
                    (B) determines, based on information available at 
                the time, that the local agency has the financial 
                capability and willingness to fund its share of the 
                project's construction and all operation and 
                maintenance costs on an annual basis;
                    (C) determines that a method acceptable to the 
                Secretary has been developed for quantifying the 
                benefit, in terms of reduction, avoidance, or offset of 
                the water supply impacts expected to be caused by the 
                Interim or Restoration Flows authorized in part I of 
                this subtitle, that will result from the project, and 
                for ensuring appropriate adjustment in the recovered 
                water account pursuant to section 10004(a)(5); and
                    (D) has entered into a cost-sharing agreement with 
                the local agency which commits the local agency to 
                funding its share of the project's construction costs 
                on an annual basis.
    (c) Guidelines.--Within 1 year from the date of enactment of this 
part, the Secretary shall develop, in consultation with the Friant 
Division long-term contractors, proposed guidelines for the application 
of the criteria defined in subsection (b), and will make the proposed 
guidelines available for public comment. Such guidelines may consider 
prioritizing the distribution of available funds to projects that 
provide the broadest benefit within the affected area and the equitable 
allocation of funds. Upon adoption of such guidelines, the Secretary 
shall implement such assistance program, subject to the availability of 
funds appropriated for such purpose.
    (d) Cost Sharing.--The Federal financial assistance provided to 
local agencies under subsection (a) shall not exceed--
            (1) 50 percent of the costs associated with planning, 
        design, and environmental compliance activities associated with 
        such a project; and
            (2) 50 percent of the costs associated with construction of 
        any such project.

            (1) Title to, control over, and operation of, projects 
        funded under subsection (a) shall remain in one or more non-
        Federal local agencies. Nothing in this part authorizes the 
        Secretary to operate a groundwater bank along or adjacent to 
        the San Joaquin River upstream of the confluence with the 
        Merced River, and any such groundwater bank shall be operated 
        by a non-Federal entity. All projects funded pursuant to this 
        subsection shall comply with all applicable Federal and State 
        laws, including provisions of California water law.

                        control the operations of the Colorado River 
                        System reservoirs and diversion works, so as to 
                        adjust, account for, and offset the diversion 
                        of water apportioned to the State of Arizona, 
                        pursuant to the Boulder Canyon Project Act (43 
                        U.S.C. 617 et seq.), from a point of diversion 
                        on the San Juan River in New Mexico; provided 
                        that all such modifications shall be consistent 
                        with the provisions of this Section, and the 
                        modifications made pursuant to this clause 
                        shall be applicable only for the duration of 
                        any such diversions pursuant to section 
                        10603(c)(2)(B); and

                        or supplemented) is administered so that 
                        diversions from the main stream for the Central 
                        Arizona Project, as served under existing 
                        contracts with the United States by diversion 
                        works heretofore constructed, shall be limited 
                        and reduced to offset any diversions made 
                        pursuant to section 10603(c)(2)(B) of this Act. 
                        This clause shall not affect, in any manner,

                        U.S.C. 617 et seq.), or amend any provisions of 
                        said decree or the Colorado River Basin Project 
                        Act (43 U.S.C. 1501 et. seq.).
            (3) Upper basin protections.--
                    (A) Consultations.--Henceforth, in any consultation 
                pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 1536(a) with respect to water 
                development in the San Juan River Basin, the Secretary 
                shall confer with the States of Colorado and New 
                Mexico, consistent with the provisions of section 5 of 
                the ``Principles for Conducting Endangered Species Act 
                Section 7 Consultations on Water Development and Water 
                Management Activities Affecting Endangered Fish Species 
                in the San Juan River Basin'' as adopted by the 
                Coordination Committee, San Juan River Basin Recovery 
                Implementation Program, on June 19, 2001, and as may be 
                amended or modified.
                    (B) Preservation of existing rights.--Rights to the 
                consumptive use of water available to the Upper Basin 
                from the Colorado River System under the Colorado River 
                Compact and the Compact shall not be reduced or 
                prejudiced by any use of water pursuant to subsection 
                10603(c). Nothing in this Act shall be construed so as 
                to impair, conflict with, or otherwise change the 
                duties and powers of the Upper Colorado River 
                Commission.
    (d) Forbearance.--
            (1) In general.--Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), during 
        any year in which a shortage to the normal diversion 
        requirement for any use relating to the Project within the 
        State of Arizona occurs (as determined under section 11 of 
        Public Law 87-483 (76 Stat. 99)), the Nation may temporarily 
        forbear the delivery of the water supply of the Navajo 
        Reservoir for uses in the State of New Mexico under the 
        apportionments of water to the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project 
        and the normal diversion requirements of the Project to allow 
        an equivalent quantity of water to be delivered from the Navajo 
        Reservoir water supply for municipal and domestic uses of the 
        Nation in the State of Arizona under the Project.
            (2) Limitation of forbearance.--The Nation may forebear the 
        delivery of water under paragraph (1) of a quantity not 
        exceeding the quantity of the shortage to the normal diversion 
        requirement for any use relating to the Project within the 
        State of Arizona.
            (3) Effect.--The forbearance of the delivery of water under 
        paragraph (1) shall be subject to the requirements in 
        subsection (c).
    (e) Effect.--Nothing in this subtitle--
            (1) authorizes the marketing, leasing, or transfer of the 
        water supplies made available to the Nation under the Contract 
        to non-Navajo water users in States other than the State of New 
        Mexico; or
            (2) authorizes the forbearance of water uses in the State 
        of New Mexico to allow uses of water in other States other than 
        as authorized under subsection (d).
    (f) Colorado River Compacts.--Notwithstanding any other provision 
of law--
            (1) water may be diverted by the Project from the San Juan 
        River in the State of New Mexico for use within New Mexico in 
        the lower basin, as that term is used in the Colorado River 
        Compact;
            (2) any water diverted under paragraph (1) shall be a part 
        of, and charged against, the consumptive use apportionment made 
        to the State of New Mexico by Article III(a) of the Compact and 
        to the upper basin by Article III(a) of the Colorado River 
        Compact; and
            (3) any water so diverted by the Project into the lower 
        basin within the State of New Mexico shall not be credited as 
        water reaching Lee Ferry pursuant to Articles III(c) and III(d) 
        of the Colorado River Compact.
    (g) Payment of Operation, Maintenance, and Replacement Costs.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary is authorized to pay the 
        operation, maintenance, and replacement costs of the Project 
        allocable to the Project Participants under section 10604 until 
        the date on which the Secretary declares any section of the 
        Project to be substantially complete and delivery of water 
        generated by, and through, that section of the Project can be 
        made to a Project participant.
            (2) Project participant payments.--Beginning on the date 
        described in paragraph (1), each Project Participant shall pay 
        all allocated operation, maintenance, and replacement costs for 
        that substantially completed section of the Project, in 
        accordance with contracts entered into pursuant to section 
        10604, except as provided in section 10604(f).
    (h) No Precedent.--Nothing in this Act shall be construed as 
authorizing or establishing a precedent for any type of transfer of 
Colorado River System water between the Upper Basin and Lower Basin. 
Nor shall anything in this Act be construed as expanding the 
Secretary's authority in the Upper Basin.
    (i) Unique Situation.--Diversions by the Project consistent with 
this section address critical tribal and non-Indian water supply needs 
under unique circumstances, which include, among other things--
            (1) the intent to benefit an American Indian tribe;
            (2) the Navajo Nation's location in both the Upper and 
        Lower Basin;
            (3) the intent to address critical Indian water needs in 
        the State of Arizona and Indian and non-Indian water needs in 
        the State of New Mexico,
            (4) the location of the Navajo Nation's capital city of 
        Window Rock in the State of Arizona in close proximity to the 
        border of the State of New Mexico and the pipeline route for 
        the Project;
            (5) the lack of other reasonable options available for 
        developing a firm, sustainable supply of municipal water for 
        the Navajo Nation at Window Rock in the State of Arizona; and
            (6) the limited volume of water to be diverted by the 
        Project to supply municipal uses in the Window Rock area in the 
        State of Arizona.
    (j) Consensus.--Congress notes the consensus of the Governors' 
Representatives on Colorado River Operations of the States that are 
signatory to the Colorado River Compact regarding the diversions 
authorized for the Project under this section.
    (k) Efficient Use.--The diversions and uses authorized for the 
Project under this Section represent unique and efficient uses of 
Colorado River apportionments in a manner that Congress has determined 
would be consistent with the obligations of the United States to the 
Navajo Nation.

Subtitle C--Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation Water 
                           Rights Settlement

SEC. 10801. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) it is the policy of the United States, in accordance 
        with the trust responsibility of the United States to Indian 
        tribes, to promote Indian self-determination and economic self-
        sufficiency and to settle Indian water rights claims without 
        lengthy and costly litigation, if practicable;
            (2) quantifying rights to water and development of 
        facilities needed to use tribal water supplies is essential to 
        the development of viable Indian reservation economies and the 
        establishment of a permanent reservation homeland;
            (3) uncertainty concerning the extent of the Shoshone-
        Paiute Tribes' water rights has resulted in limited access to 
        water and inadequate financial resources necessary to achieve 
        self-determination and self-sufficiency;
            (4) in 2006, the Tribes, the State of Idaho, the affected 
        individual water users, and the United States resolved all 
        tribal claims to water rights in the Snake River Basin 
        Adjudication through a consent decree entered by the District 
        Court of the Fifth Judicial District of the State of Idaho, 
        requiring no further Federal action to quantify the Tribes' 
        water rights in the State of Idaho;
            (5) as of the date of enactment of this Act, proceedings to 
        determine the extent and nature of the water rights of the 
        Tribes in the East Fork of the Owyhee River in Nevada are 
        pending before the Nevada State Engineer;
            (6) final resolution of the Tribes' water claims in the 
        East Fork of the Owyhee River adjudication will--
                    (A) take many years;
                    (B) entail great expense;
                    (C) continue to limit the access of the Tribes to 
                water, with economic and social consequences;
                    (D) prolong uncertainty relating to the 
                availability of water supplies; and
                    (E) seriously impair long-term economic planning 
                and development for all parties to the litigation;
            (7) after many years of negotiation, the Tribes, the State, 
        and the upstream water users have entered into a settlement 
        agreement to resolve permanently all water rights of the Tribes 
        in the State; and
            (8) the Tribes also seek to resolve certain water-related 
        claims for damages against the United States.

 ``authorization of the coastal and estuarine land conservation program

    ``Sec. 307A.  (a) In General.--The Secretary may conduct a Coastal 
and Estuarine Land Conservation Program, in cooperation with 
appropriate State, regional, and other units of government, for the 
purposes of protecting important coastal and estuarine areas that have 
significant conservation, recreation, ecological, historical, or 
aesthetic values, or that are threatened by conversion from their 
natural, undeveloped, or recreational state to other uses or could be 
managed or restored to effectively conserve, enhance, or restore 
ecological function. The program shall be administered by the National 
Ocean Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 
through the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management.
    ``(b) Property Acquisition Grants.--The Secretary shall make grants 
under the program to coastal states with approved coastal zone 
management plans or National Estuarine Research Reserve units for the 
purpose of acquiring property or interests in property described in 
subsection (a) that will further the goals of--
            ``(1) a Coastal Zone Management Plan or Program approved 
        under this title;
            ``(2) a National Estuarine Research Reserve management 
        plan;
            ``(3) a regional or State watershed protection or 
        management plan involving coastal states with approved coastal 
        zone management programs; or
            ``(4) a State coastal land acquisition plan that is 
        consistent with an approved coastal zone management program.
    ``(c) Grant Process.--The Secretary shall allocate funds to coastal 
states or National Estuarine Research Reserves under this section 
through a competitive grant process in accordance with guidelines that 
meet the following requirements:
            ``(1) The Secretary shall consult with the coastal state's 
        coastal zone management program, any National Estuarine 
        Research Reserve in that State, and the lead agency designated 
        by the Governor for coordinating the implementation of this 
        section (if different from the coastal zone management 
        program).
            ``(2) Each participating coastal state, after consultation 
        with local governmental entities and other interested 
        stakeholders, shall identify priority conservation needs within 
        the State, the values to be protected by inclusion of lands in 
        the program, and the threats to those values that should be 
        avoided.
            ``(3) Each participating coastal state shall to the extent 
        practicable ensure that the acquisition of property or 
        easements shall complement working waterfront needs.
            ``(4) The applicant shall identify the values to be 
        protected by inclusion of the lands in the program, management 
        activities that are planned and the manner in which they may 
        affect the values identified, and any other information from 
        the landowner relevant to administration and management of the 
        land.
            ``(5) Awards shall be based on demonstrated need for 
        protection and ability to successfully leverage funds among 
        participating entities, including Federal programs, regional 
        organizations, State and other governmental units, landowners, 
        corporations, or private organizations.
            ``(6) The governor, or the lead agency designated by the 
        governor for coordinating the implementation of this section, 
        where appropriate in consultation with the appropriate local 
        government, shall determine that the application is consistent 
        with the State's or territory's approved coastal zone plan, 
        program, and policies prior to submittal to the Secretary.
            ``(7)(A) Priority shall be given to lands described in 
        subsection (a) that can be effectively managed and protected 
        and that have significant ecological value.
            ``(B) Of the projects that meet the standard in 
        subparagraph (A), priority shall be given to lands that--
                    ``(i) are under an imminent threat of conversion to 
                a use that will degrade or otherwise diminish their 
                natural, undeveloped, or recreational state; and
                    ``(ii) serve to mitigate the adverse impacts caused 
                by coastal population growth in the coastal 
                environment.
            ``(8) In developing guidelines under this section, the 
        Secretary shall consult with coastal states, other Federal 
        agencies, and other interested stakeholders with expertise in 
        land acquisition and conservation procedures.
            ``(9) Eligible coastal states or National Estuarine 
        Research Reserves may allocate grants to local governments or 
        agencies eligible for assistance under section 306A(e).
            ``(10) The Secretary shall develop performance measures 
        that the Secretary shall use to evaluate and report on the 
        program's effectiveness in accomplishing its purposes, and 
        shall submit such evaluations to Congress triennially.
    ``(d) Limitations and Private Property Protections.--
            ``(1) A grant awarded under this section may be used to 
        purchase land or an interest in land, including an easement, 
        only from a willing seller. Any such purchase shall not be the 
        result of a forced taking under this section. Nothing in this 
        section requires a private property owner to participate in the 
        program under this section.
            ``(2) Any interest in land, including any easement, 
        acquired with a grant under this section shall not be 
        considered to create any new liability, or have any effect on 
        liability under any other law, of any private property owner 
        with respect to any person injured on the private property.
            ``(3) Nothing in this section requires a private property 
        owner to provide access (including Federal, State, or local 
        government access) to or use of private property unless such 
        property or an interest in such property (including a 
        conservation easement) has been purchased with funds made 
        available under this section.
    ``(e) Recognition of Authority to Control Land Use.--Nothing in 
this title modifies the authority of Federal, State, or local 
governments to regulate land use.
    ``(f) Matching Requirements.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary may not make a grant under 
        the program unless the Federal funds are matched by non-Federal 
        funds in accordance with this subsection.
            ``(2) Cost share requirement.--
                    ``(A) In general.--Grant funds under the program 
                shall require a 100 percent match from other non-
                Federal sources.
                    ``(B) Waiver of requirement.--The Secretary may 
                grant a waiver of subparagraph (A) for underserved 
                communities, communities that have an inability to draw 
                on other sources of funding because of the small 
                population or low income of the community, or for other 
                reasons the Secretary deems appropriate and consistent 
                with the purposes of the program.
            ``(3) Other federal funds.--Where financial assistance 
        awarded under this section represents only a portion of the 
        total cost of a project, funding from other Federal sources may 
        be applied to the cost of the project. Each portion shall be 
        subject to match requirements under the applicable provision of 
        law.
            ``(4) Source of matching cost share.--For purposes of 
        paragraph (2)(A), the non-Federal cost share for a project may 
        be determined by taking into account the following:
                    ``(A) The value of land or a conservation easement 
                may be used by a project applicant as non-Federal 
                match, if the Secretary determines that--
                            ``(i) the land meets the criteria set forth 
                        in section 2(b) and is acquired in the period 
                        beginning 3 years before the date of the 
                        submission of the grant application and ending 
                        3 years after the date of the award of the 
                        grant;
                            ``(ii) the value of the land or easement is 
                        held by a non-governmental organization 
                        included in the grant application in perpetuity 
                        for conservation purposes of the program; and
                            ``(iii) the land or easement is connected 
                        either physically or through a conservation 
                        planning process to the land or easement that 
                        would be acquired.
                    ``(B) The appraised value of the land or 
                conservation easement at the time of the grant closing 
                will be considered and applied as the non-Federal cost 
                share.
                    ``(C) Costs associated with land acquisition, land 
                management planning, remediation, restoration, and 
                enhancement may be used as non- Federal match if the 
                activities are identified in the plan and expenses are 
                incurred within the period of the grant award, or, for 
                lands described in (A), within the same time limits 
                described therein. These costs may include either cash 
                or in-kind contributions.
    ``(g) Reservation of Funds for National Estuarine Research Reserve 
Sites.--No less than 15 percent of funds made available under this 
section shall be available for acquisitions benefitting National 
Estuarine Research Reserves.
    ``(h) Limit on Administrative Costs.--No more than 5 percent of the

thereafter.
    ``(i) Title and Management of Acquired Property.--If any property 
is acquired in whole or in part with funds made available through a 
grant under this section, the grant recipient shall provide--
            ``(1) such assurances as the Secretary may require that--
                    ``(A) the title to the property will be held by the 
                grant recipient or another appropriate public agency 
                designated by the recipient in perpetuity;
                    ``(B) the property will be managed in a manner that 
                is consistent with the purposes for which the land 
                entered into the program and shall not convert such 
                property to other uses; and
                    ``(C) if the property or interest in land is sold, 
                exchanged, or divested, funds equal to the current 
                value will be returned to the Secretary in accordance 
                with applicable Federal law for redistribution in the 
                grant process; and

non-governmental organization as a non-Federal match under subsection 
(g), the grant recipient must to the Secretary's satisfaction 
demonstrate in the grant application that such land or interest will 
satisfy the same requirements as the lands or interests in lands 
acquired under the program.

        easement' includes an easement or restriction, recorded deed, 
        or a reserve interest deed where the grantee acquires all 
        rights, title, and interest in a property, that do not conflict 
        with the goals of this section except those rights, title, and 
        interests that may run with the land that are expressly 
        reserved by a grantor and are agreed to at the time of 
        purchase.
