SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) For over 60 years, the Bureau of Reclama-
tion has used the channels and sloughs of the Sac-
ramento-San Joaquin Delta to facilitate the delivery 
of water to the Federal Central Valley Project 
pumps located in the southern edge of the Delta. 
(2) The movement of water through these wa-
terways has created stress, degradation, and weak-
ening of the levees that are intended to protect adja-
cent land from flooding. 
(3) On July 25, 2012, the Secretary of the In-
terior announced details of Federal support for a 
proposed water project entitled the Bay Delta Con-
servation Plan, which calls for a dual conveyance 
system that would transport water around the Delta 
using an isolated conveyance facility, while also con-
tinuing to move water through the Delta’s interior. 
(4) Under the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, 
the Bureau of Reclamation will continue to rely on 
the Delta and its levees to facilitate water deliveries 
to exporters until and after an isolated conveyance 
facility is built. 
(5) Despite the Bureau of Reclamation’s vested 
stake in the stability of these levees, the Department 
of the Interior has failed to address levee stability in
