Bill Summary

A BILL To prohibit the Corps of Engineers from issuing a permit for the Delta Conveyance Project.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "Stop the Delta Tunnel Act," would prohibit the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from issuing a permit for the Delta Conveyance Project under section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The bill specifically targets the permit related to the project outlined in the Corps of Engineers' Draft Environmental Impact Statement from December 2022. The Delta Conveyance Project is a proposed water infrastructure initiative in California's Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta region, which would involve constructing a new water conveyance system. By blocking the permit, the bill effectively aims to halt the project's development by preventing the Corps of Engineers from granting the necessary environmental authorization needed to proceed with construction.
