| 114-hr-4610 | 114 | hr | 4610 | To amend the Reclamation Wastewater and Groundwater Study and Facilities Act to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to participate in a series of water reclamation projects to provide a new water supply to communities previously impacted by perchlorate contamination plumes. | Water Resources Development | 2016-02-24 | 2016-02-25 | Referred to the Subcommittee on Water, Power and Oceans. | House | Rep. Knight, Stephen [R-CA-25] | CA | R | K000387 | 0 | This bill amends the Reclamation Wastewater and Groundwater Study and Facilities Act to authorize the Bureau of Reclamation to participate in projects to benefit eligible communities through projects to: capture and treat wastewater and to distribute recycled water from a new mixed-use development that cannot otherwise be economically provided recycled water from one or more existing water reclamation plants and recycled water distribution systems; adjust or forego a portion of facility capacity or connection fees otherwise paid by the property owner to a regional water agency that imports out-of-basin water supplies; and/or extend local recycled water distribution systems to properties adjacent to new mixed-use development. The bill defines "eligible communities" as communities: in a state under a drought emergency declared by the governor, where water retailers have been directed by a state water resources control board to reduce consumption or use of potable water usage by 24% to 32%, and whose sanitation district has been directed by a regional water quality control board to reduce the discharge of chloride to comply with basin water quality standards. The Department of the Interior shall give priority to projects that: will serve a region that has received federal authorization for projects associated with perchlorate remediation programs under the Bureau of Reclamation or the Army Corps of Engineers, will serve or are located in a region that has completed feasibility studies for perchlorate remediation efforts, and/or will serve a region where the regional water agency that imports out-of-basin water supplies has a wholesale area that includes a population of between 200,000 and 350,000. The federal share of the cost of such a project shall not exceed 25% of the total cost. | 2023-01-11T13:32:05Z |
