Bill Summary

Klamath Infrastructure Improvement Act

AI Summary

This bill, the Klamath Infrastructure Improvement Act, amends the Klamath Basin Water Supply Enhancement Act of 2000 to address water management and power costs for irrigation in the Klamath Project, which is a Bureau of Reclamation project in California and Oregon. The key provisions include: allowing the Secretary of the Interior to carry out activities to align water supply and demand for irrigation users, plan and implement projects to mitigate environmental effects or restore habitats, and limit the net delivered cost of power for certain irrigation-related power uses; requiring the Secretary to identify a power cost benchmark and implement actions to ensure the net delivered power cost for these uses is equal to or less than the benchmark; authorizing the Secretary to enter into agreements to reimburse the Tulelake Irrigation District for operation and maintenance of Pumping Plant D; and providing for the conveyance of non-Klamath Project water through Klamath Project facilities and the replacement of the C Canal flume.
