The purpose of this section is to establish an expedited project advancement process for certain water storage projects that have already received some degree of evaluation under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act ( Public Law 114–322 ) or under certain State water storage project evaluations. In this section, the term grandfathered storage project means a storage project that has already been recommended for funding made available under section 4007 of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act ( Public Law 114–322 ) by the Secretary or a State governor prior to June 1, 2020, except for any project within the State of California that— has been evaluated for State storage funding awards by the California Water Commission pursuant to the California Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act, approved by California voters on November 4, 2014, and failed to receive a maximum conditional eligibility determination of at least $200 million; or is an on-stream storage project that has not been evaluated for State storage funding awards by the California Water Commission pursuant to the California Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act, approved by California voters on November 4, 2014.
Notwithstanding any other requirements of this subtitle, grandfathered storage projects shall be eligible to receive funding authorized under section 81213(b) of this subtitle in accordance with this subsection. The following requirements shall apply to grandfathered storage projects: sections 4007(c)(1) through 4007(c)(4), section 4007(f), and section 4007(h)(2) of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act ( Public Law 114–322 ), except that any reference contained in those sections to State-led storage projects shall be considered to be a reference to grandfathered storage projects.
The Secretary shall give funding priority among grandfathered storage projects to those that provide greater and more reliable water supply benefits to wildlife refuges, species listed under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), or to commercially harvested salmon species. Storage project deadlines described in section 4007(i) and section 4013(2) of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act ( Public Law 114–322 ) shall not apply to any grandfathered storage project under this section.
