43 U.S.C. § 1578: Authorization of…

Summary

Authorizes $356,400,000 to build the projects listed in sections 1571, 1572, 1573, and 1579. Of that, $3,579,000 is for fish and wildlife mitigation for the Coachella Canal in California, and $6,960,000 is for mitigation for the Desalting Complex Unit and the Protective and Regulatory Pumping Unit in Arizona. These amounts use January 1979 prices and can be adjusted up or down for normal construction cost changes. The money also covers operating, maintenance, and allowed modifications under section 1574. The Secretary must check new desalting technologies and put cost-saving improvements into plant designs when they save money, but no more than five percent of the authorized funds may be used for that. The law also allows whatever extra money is needed to pay condemnation awards above appraised values and to cover costs required by the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970.

In order to provide for the utilization of significant improvements in desalinization technologies which may have been developed since the Bureau’s evaluation, the Secretary is directed to evaluate such cost effective improvements and implement such improved designs into the plant operations when the evaluation indicates that cost savings will result: Provided, however, That no more than five percent of the amount authorized to be appropriated is used for these purposes. There is further authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to pay condemnation awards in excess of appraised values and to cover costs required in connection with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 [42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.].
