To prohibit the Corps of Engineers from issuing a permit for the Delta Conveyance Project.

Summary of Bill HR 1311

Bill 119 HR 1311, also known as the "Delta Conveyance Project Prohibition Act," aims to prevent the Corps of Engineers from granting a permit for the Delta Conveyance Project. This project involves the construction of a water conveyance system in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region of California.

The bill was introduced in response to concerns about the potential environmental impact of the project on the delicate ecosystem of the Delta region. Proponents of the bill argue that the project could harm endangered species, disrupt the natural flow of water, and exacerbate water quality issues in the area.

If passed, the bill would effectively halt the progress of the Delta Conveyance Project and prevent the Corps of Engineers from moving forward with issuing a permit for its construction. This would give lawmakers and stakeholders more time to assess the potential consequences of the project and explore alternative solutions to address water supply and infrastructure needs in the region. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1311 reflects the ongoing debate over the balance between economic development and environmental conservation in the United States, particularly in regions like the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta where competing interests often collide.
