Congress finds that— the record drought conditions being experienced in the State of California as of the date of enactment of this Act are— expected to recur in the future; and likely to do so with increasing frequency; water storage is an indispensable and integral part of any solution to address the long-term water challenges of the State of California; Congress has authorized relevant feasibility studies for 5 water storage projects in the State of California, including projects for— enlargement of Shasta Dam in Shasta County under section 2(a) of Public Law 96–375 (94 Stat. 1506), as reaffirmed under section 103(d)(1)(A)(i)(I) of Public Law 108–361 (118 Stat. 1684); enlargement of Los Vaqueros Reservoir in Contra Costa County under section 215 of Public Law 108–7 (117 Stat. 147), as reaffirmed under section 103(d)(1)(A)(i)(II) of Public Law 108–361 (118 Stat. 1684); construction of North-of-Delta Offstream Storage (Sites Reservoir) in Colusa County under section 215 of Public Law 108–7 (117 Stat. 147), as reaffirmed under section 103(d)(1)(A)(ii)(I) of Public Law 108–361 (118 Stat. 1684); construction of the Upper San Joaquin River storage (Temperance Flat) in Fresno and Madera Counties under section 215 of Public Law 108–7 (117 Stat. 147), as reaffirmed under section 103(d)(1)(A)(ii)(II) of Public Law 108–361 (118 Stat. 1684); and expansion of San Luis Reservoir under section 103(f)(1)(A) of Public Law 108–361 (118 Stat. 1694); as of the date of enactment of this Act, more than 10 years have elapsed since the authorization of the feasibility studies referred to in paragraph (3), but for a variety of reasons the slow pace of work on completion of the feasibility studies for those 5 water storage projects is unjustified and of deep concern; and there is significant public interest in, and urgency with respect to, completing all feasibility studies and environmental reviews for the water storage projects referred to in paragraph (3), given the critical need for that infrastructure to address current and future water challenges of the State of California.
