REPORT
[To accompany H.R. 6040]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (H.R. 6040) to authorize the Secretary of the Inte-
rior to convey certain land and facilities of the Central Valley
Project, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon
without amendment and recommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of H.R. 6040 is to authorize the Secretary of the In-
terior (Secretary) to convey certain lands and facilities of the Cen-
tral Valley Project.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
The Contra Costa Canal System in California, which includes the
Rock Slough intake channel, Main Canal, Loop Canal, Shortcut
Pipeline, the Clayton and Ygnacio Re-lift Canals and pumping
plants, and the Martinez Reservoir and pumping plants, was au-
thorized in 1937 through the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1937 (Pub-
lic Law 75-392). Construction was completed in 1948, and addi-
tional features were finished in 1967.
The Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) has operated and
maintained these facilities since 1972 under agreement with the
Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), and in 2010 repaid its contract for
the cost of construction in full. The repayment contract states that
at completion of repayment, title to the facilities is to be trans-
ferred to CCWD, following authorization by Congress.
