"It's never too late to become what you might have been." - George Eliot

Elaine J. Hanford's Bulletin Boards: 1) Geoscience; 2) Environmental Science; 3) Coastal Zone Management - 25 October 2021

Lots of rain in the SFO - Sacramento - Northern California area. It's those pesky atmospheric rivers! Good for the drought, but bad from flooding and debris/mud flows.

Consider this graphic and text that David Blodgett re-Tweeted from the National Weather Service in Sacramento: 

Over the course of just 24 hrs, Sac Exec Ap received 81.9% of the total precip from the entire 2020 - 2021 water year! Here is a look at some comparisons. Rain is still falling, so stay tuned for updates on the storm total precip amounts from this #AtmosphericRivers #CAwx #CArain

The 2020-2021 water year runs form 1 October 2020 through 30 September 2021,. 

From NWS Sacramento:

Enjoy!

CRS InFocus Report: 'Reclamation Water Storage Projects - Section 4007 of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act'

From Charles V. Stern comes an update (15 October 2021) of this CRS InFocus report: 'Reclamation Water Storage Projects - Section 4007 of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act'.

Introduction
Congress created a new authority for the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation, part of the Department of the Interior) to build new water storage projects in Section 4007 of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (WIIN Act; P.L. 114-322). The authority provides federal support for the construction of new and augmented surface water storage projects in the 17 arid reclamation states. As of October 2021, Congress had appropriated $603 million for these projects, and Reclamation had allocated (and Congress had approved) $511 million to 13 projects in 3 states. Allocation of remaining appropriations is subject to further congressional action.

Background
Traditionally, Reclamation’s role in water project development had been limited to geographically specific projects authorized in federal statutes (federal law that applies to reclamation projects generally is referred to as reclamation law). Congress provided full, up-front funding for the construction costs of these facilities through discretionary appropriations to Reclamation. Project beneficiaries (i.e., irrigators, municipal water suppliers, and hydropower contractors) would then repay their portion of “reimbursable” project construction or development costs over a 40-50 year term. The amount of the up-front investment recouped by the federal government typically depends on several factors, including the portion of project benefits that are classified as fully or partially nonreimbursable (e.g., fish and wildlife enhancements, flood control, recreation) and adjustments for irrigators’ ability to pay.

Section 4007 of the WIIN Act
Congress enacted a new authority for Reclamation to support water storage projects under Section 4007 of the WIIN Act. The act authorized a total of $335 million in discretionary appropriations for new and improved water storage projects, and it used a different approach than under traditional reclamation law.

Funding for water storage projects under Section 4007 is available for two primary project types. Federally owned storage projects (surface water or groundwater storage projects to which the United States holds title and which were authorized to be constructed pursuant to reclamation law and regulations) may be no more than 50% federally funded. State-led storage projects (surface water or groundwater storage projects constructed, operated, and maintained by states or political subdivisions) may be no more than 25% federally funded. Prior to the WIIN Act, Congress had not authorized Reclamation to fund state-led water storage projects.

Before projects can be constructed under the authority, several milestones must be met. The Secretary of the Interior must find that the project is feasible and provides benefits proportionate to the federal government’s cost share, and project sponsors must agree to pay their portion of project costs up front. Appropriations under the Section 4007 authority are available only after the Secretary transmits a list of recommended projects and funding levels to Congress, and Congress designates those projects by name in an enacted appropriations act.

Any project that meets the WIIN Act criteria initially is eligible for funding allocations. However, Congress also stipulated that in order to move forward, the Secretary must find projects feasible by January 1, 2021, and projects must initiate construction by December 17, 2021.

Cutting to the chase...

Issues for Congress
The Biden Administration may continue proposing project-level allocations for remaining Section 4007 appropriations. Similar to prior lists, these allocations would require congressional approval in appropriations legislation.

Significantly more future appropriations would be required to complete ongoing WIIN Act projects under Section 4007.

Apart from funding, some support extension and/or other changes to Section 4007. In the past, proposed changes included waivers from the congressional approval requirement for smaller projects and a return to authorizing committee involvement in approval of some projects. Supporters of the current Section 4007 authority contend the authority will provide crucial flexibility in the face of expected future water supply uncertainty in the West. Opponents prefer that federal support for more environmentally friendly water supply options take precedent over surface water storage.
