S. 1413 increases the funding caps for the San Joaquin River Restoration project, created by a 2009 law to restore fish populations and river flows while protecting water supplies. Both the federal and non-federal funding caps rise from $250 million to $750 million. It also raises the cap for Friant Division canal improvements from $50 million to $75 million.
Central Valley farmers relying on the Friant-Kern Canal system, environmental and fishery groups working to restore salmon runs, and local communities along the San Joaquin River are most affected. National taxpayers could also be affected if more federal funds go toward this project.
The bill only raises spending ceilings; it does not itself allocate money, which would require separate congressional appropriations. If more federal funds are eventually directed here, fewer dollars may be available for other priorities.
