Summary
This bill amends the Aquifer Recharge Flexibility Act to clarify provisions allowing water rights holders to use existing rights-of-way, easements, permits, and other authorizations for aquifer recharge purposes without additional federal authorization. The bill permits such uses on behalf of states, political subdivisions, Indian tribes, and public entities, requires 30 days' notice to the Bureau of Land Management before use, and exempts non-profit aquifer recharge uses from additional rent payments. The bill also clarifies that such uses are not considered expansions or modifications requiring federal approval, and specifies that the act does not waive compliance with the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, or Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, nor does it authorize construction or expansion of infrastructure.
