Great Salt Lake Stewardship Act

The Great Salt Lake Stewardship Act (HR 4094) amends the Central Utah Project Completion Act to allow the Secretary to use existing federal funds for water conservation projects in the Great Salt Lake basin. It directly affects water management in the basin, which spans parts of Utah, by authorizing conservation measures like efficiency improvements without requiring new appropriations. The key provision permits using unexpended budget authority from previous allocations to conduct these measures, while ensuring they comply with the existing Definite Plan Report. This focuses on practical water-saving actions to support the lake's ecosystem, using current resources rather than creating new programs.
