Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary 
of the Interior, acting through the Commissioner of Reclamation, is 
authorized to design, construct, operate, and maintain, or to contract 
with the State of California for the design, construction, operation, or 
maintenance of, a sand dredging system on the Trinity River immedi-
ately downstream from Grass Valley Creek, a tributary of the Trinity 
River, and a debris dam and associated facilities on Grass Valley 
Creek, in Trinity County, California, in general conformity to the 
plan of development described and set forth in the Grsiss Valley 
Creek Sediment Control Study, April 1978, prepared for the Trinity 
River Basin Fish and Wildlife Task Force: Provided, That any such 
contract entered into pursuant to this section shall be effective only 
to such extent or in such amounts as are provided in advance in 
appropriation Acts. 
SEC. 2. The contract authorized by section 1 of this Act shall provide 
that the State of California, on a doUar-for-doUar basis, will match 
the funds provided by the Water and Power Resources Service for 
constructing, operating, and maintaining the sand dredging system. 
SEC. 3. There is authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 1982 
and thereafter, to remain available until expended the sum of 
$3,500,000 (April 1978 price levels), plus or minus such amounts, if 
any, as may be justified by reason of ordinary fluctuations in 
construction costs indexes applicable to the type of construction 
involved herein. There are also authorized to be appropriated such 
sums as may be required for the Federal share of operation and 
maintenance. All costs incurred pursuant to this Act shall be non-
reimbursable and nonretumable. No funds shall be expended here-
under until the Board of Supervisors of Trinity County adopts 
adequate timber road and subdivision standards to protect the Grass 
Valley Creek watershed, and until an agreement has been executed 
with the State of California which shall provide that the State of 
California, on a doUar-for-doUar basis, will match the funds provided 
by the Water and Power Resources Service for constructing, operat-
ing, and maintaining the sand dredging system.
