HR 1607 United States House · 118th Congress

To clarify jurisdiction with respect to certain Bureau of Reclamation pumped storage development, and for other purposes.

This bill (HR 1607) clarifies jurisdiction for Bureau of Reclamation pumped storage development on specific land in Arizona. It reserves approximately 18 miles of land along the Salt River south of Roosevelt Dam to the United States for exclusive use in developing electrical power for the Salt River Federal Reclamation Project. The bill permanently withdraws this land from public land laws, mining activities, and mineral leasing. Any facilities developed by the Salt River Project on this land must meet Bureau of Reclamation standards and receive approval from the Secretary of the Interior. The Bureau of Reclamation is designated as the lead agency for environmental compliance related to these developments.
