                        Project Delta Mendota Canal, near the City of 
                        Tracy, as an operation and maintenance 
                        activity, except that the Secretary shall 
                        design and construct the intertie in a manner 
                        consistent with a possible future expansion of 
                        the intertie capacity (as described in 
                        subsection (f)(1)(B)); and
                            (ii) assessment of a connection of the 
                        Central Valley Project to the Clifton Court 
                        Forebay of the State Water Project, with a 
                        corresponding increase in the screened intake 
                        of the Forebay.
                    (D) Program to meet standards.--
                            (i) In general.--Prior to increasing export 
                        limits from the Delta for the purposes of 
                        conveying water to south-of-Delta Central 
                        Valley Project contractors or increasing 
                        deliveries through an intertie, the Secretary 
                        shall, not later than 1 year after the date of 
                        enactment of this Act, in consultation with the 
                        Governor, develop and initiate implementation 
                        of a program to meet all existing water quality 
                        standards and objectives for which the Central 
                        Valley Project has responsibility.

                        shall incorporate into the program a 
                        recirculation program to provide flow, reduce 
                        salinity concentrations in the San Joaquin 
                        River, and reduce the reliance on the New 
                        Melones Reservoir for meeting water quality and 
                        fishery flow objectives through the use of 
                        excess capacity in export pumping and 
                        conveyance facilities.
                            (iv) Best management practices plan.--
                                    (I) In general.--The Secretary

                                to improve water quality in the San 
                                Joaquin River, a best management 
                                practices plan to reduce the water 
                                quality impacts of the discharges from 
                                wildlife refuges that receive water 
                                from the Federal Government and 
                                discharge salt or other constituents 
                                into the San Joaquin River.
                                    (II) Coordination with interested 
                                parties.--The plan shall be developed

                                that discharge water.--The Secretary 
                                shall also coordinate activities under 
                                this clause with other entities that 
                                discharge water into the San Joaquin 
                                River to reduce salinity concentrations 
                                discharged into the River, including 
                                the timing of discharges to optimize 
                                their assimilation.
                            (v) Acquisition of water.--The Secretary 
                        shall incorporate into the program the 
                        acquisition from willing sellers of water from 
                        streams tributary to the San Joaquin River or 
                        other sources to provide flow, dilute 
                        discharges of salt or other constituents, and 
                        to improve water quality in the San Joaquin 
                        River below the confluence of the Merced and 
                        San Joaquin Rivers, and to reduce the reliance 
                        on New Melones Reservoir for meeting water 
                        quality and fishery flow objectives.

                        flexibility in meeting the existing water 
                        quality standards and objectives for which the 
                        Central Valley Project has responsibility so as 
                        to reduce the demand on water from New Melones 
                        Reservoir used for that purpose and to assist 
                        the Secretary in meeting any obligations to 
                        Central Valley Project contractors from the New 
                        Melones Project.

                        plan.--The Secretary shall update the New 
                        Melones operating plan to take into account, 
                        among other things, the actions described in 
                        this title that are designed to reduce the 
                        reliance on New Melones Reservoir for meeting 
                        water quality and fishery flow objectives, and 
                        to ensure that actions to enhance fisheries in 
                        the Stanislaus River are based on the best 
                        available science.
