Summary of Bill HR 648

Bill 115 hr 648, also known as the Seedskadee Project Amendment Act, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to make changes to the Definite Plan Report for the Seedskadee Project. This amendment would allow for the utilization of the active capacity of the Fontenelle Reservoir.

The Seedskadee Project is a water management project in Wyoming that aims to provide irrigation water to farmers in the Green River Basin. The Fontenelle Reservoir is a key component of this project, but currently, its active capacity is not being fully utilized.

By amending the Definite Plan Report, the Secretary of the Interior would be able to increase the amount of water that can be stored and used from the Fontenelle Reservoir. This would help to improve water management in the region and ensure that farmers have access to the water they need for irrigation. Overall, the passage of this bill would enable more efficient use of water resources in the Green River Basin and support the agricultural community in Wyoming.
