Pilot Butte Power Plant Conveyance Act
HR 3415, the Pilot Butte Power Plant Conveyance Act, requires the U.S. Secretary of the Interior to negotiate with Wyoming's Midvale Irrigation District to transfer ownership of the Pilot Butte Power Plant from the federal government to the District. The District would assume all responsibility for operating, maintaining, and replacing the plant, while the federal government would no longer be liable for damages related to the plant after the transfer. The bill mandates that both parties share costs equally for administrative work, real estate transactions, and environmental compliance required for the transfer. This transfer would remove the plant from federal reclamation project status and shift operational control to the local irrigation district.
