S 482 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Klamath Power and Facilities Agreement Support Act

S. 482 amends the Klamath Project's water and power management to reduce costs for irrigation users while supporting environmental restoration. It requires the Secretary to implement local water conservation recommendations within 180 days of enactment, aiming to align power costs with a benchmark, with annual progress reports starting in 2025. The bill authorizes habitat restoration projects for fish (including Tribal resources), allows 69% reimbursement for Pumping Plant D operations, and treats C Canal flume replacement as emergency maintenance under existing law. These provisions directly affect irrigation districts, tribal fisheries, and power users in Oregon and California.
