Congressional Action. The Klamath agreements require congressional authorization to be implemented. In the 114th Congress, S. 133 would authorize the Klamath agreements, with certain changes. In the 113th Congress, two bills were proposed to authorize the agreements: S. 2379 and S. 2727.22 S. 133 would provide congressional authorization of the actions described under the KBRA, the KHSA, and the Upper Klamath Basin agreement. It would authorize approximately $250 million in new federal activities envisioned under the KBRA and the Upper Basin Settlement for various actions in the on-project plan.23 Some of the prominent activities from the agreements that would be authorized (either directly or by reference) in the bill include a drought response plan, potential water rights retirement for certain junior water rights holders, economic development payments 19 As stated above, the KBRA anticipated an off-project water agreement that was not included in the KBRA. 20 Klamath Basin Task Force, Report and Recommendations from the Klamath Basin Task Force to Senators Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx, Congressman Walden, and Governor Xxxxxxxxx, Final Review Draft, December 3, 2013, at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/gov/docs/KlamathBasinFinalDraftTaskForceReport2013-12-3.pdf. 21 This is less than previous estimates to implement the Klamath agreements and may be contingent on a number of assumptions (see below section, “Cost of Implementation”). 22 The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee held a hearing on S. 2379 on June 3, 2014.
