Lewis and Clark Regional Water System Expansion Feasibility Study Act

This bill would require the Secretary of the Interior, working with the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System, Inc., to study whether it is feasible to expand the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System in Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota to supply more municipal, rural, and industrial water. After the study, the Secretary would write a report recommending whether the project should be authorized for construction and what share of construction costs non-federal groups should pay, which must be at least 25 percent. The report would be sent to committees in Congress and made public. The federal government would pay no more than 50 percent of the study's costs, and the bill authorizes $10,000,000 for the study, with the authority ending 10 years after the law takes effect.
