<DELETED>TITLE II--GILA RIVER INDIAN COMMUNITY WATER RIGHTS
SETTLEMENT</DELETED>
<DELETED>SEC. 201. SHORT TITLE.</DELETED>
<DELETED> This title may be cited as the ``Gila River Indian
Community Water Rights Settlement Act of 2003''.</DELETED>
<DELETED>SEC. 202. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.</DELETED>
<DELETED> (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--</DELETED>
<DELETED> (1) it is the policy of the United States, in
keeping with the trust responsibility of the United States to
Indian tribes--</DELETED>
<DELETED> (A) to promote Indian self-determination
and economic self-sufficiency; and</DELETED>
<DELETED> (B) to settle, whenever possible, Indian
water rights claims without lengthy and costly
litigation;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (2) meaningful Indian self-determination and
economic self-sufficiency largely depend on the development of
viable Indian reservation economies;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (3) the quantification of rights to water and
development of facilities needed to use tribal water supplies
in an effective manner is essential to the development of
viable Indian reservation economies, particularly in arid
western States;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (4) continued uncertainty concerning the extent of
the entitlement of the Gila River Indian Community to water--
</DELETED>
<DELETED> (A) has severely limited access by the
Community to water and financial resources necessary to
develop valuable agricultural land; and</DELETED>
<DELETED> (B) has frustrated the efforts of the
Community to achieve meaningful self-determination and
self-sufficiency;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (5) proceedings to determine and enforce the full
extent and nature of, and injury to, the water rights of the
Community are currently pending in the United States District
Court for the District of Arizona, and water rights claims are
pending in the Superior Court of the State in and for Maricopa
County as part of the Gila River adjudication
proceedings;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (6) because final resolution of pending litigation
would take many years and entail great expense, continue
economically and socially damaging limits to access to water by
the Community, prolong uncertainty concerning the availability
of water supplies, and seriously impair long-term economic
planning and development, the Community and the neighbors of
the Community have sought to settle their disputes concerning
water and reduce the burdens of litigation;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (7) after many years of negotiation, the United
States, the Community, and the neighbors of the Community, many
of whom are parties to the Gila River adjudication proceedings,
have entered into a settlement agreement to--</DELETED>
<DELETED> (A) resolve permanently certain damage
claims and all water rights claims between the United
States and the Community and its neighbors;
and</DELETED>
<DELETED> (B) recognize the right of the allottees
to use water for irrigation purposes on the
Reservation; and</DELETED>
<DELETED> (8) to advance the goals of Federal Indian policy
and to act consistently with the trust responsibility of the
United States to the Community and the allottees, it is
appropriate that the United States participate in the
implementation of the Gila River agreement and contribute funds
to enable the Community and the allottees to use the water
entitlements recognized or provided for in the Gila River
agreement or this title in developing a diverse and efficient
economy.</DELETED>
<DELETED> (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--</DELETED>
<DELETED> (1) to authorize, ratify, and confirm the Gila
River agreement;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (2) to authorize and direct the Secretary to
execute and perform all obligations of the Secretary under the
Gila River agreement; and</DELETED>
<DELETED> (3) to authorize the actions and appropriations
necessary for the United States to meet obligations of the
United States under the Gila River agreement and this
title.</DELETED>
<DELETED>SEC. 203. APPROVAL OF THE GILA RIVER INDIAN COMMUNITY WATER
RIGHTS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.</DELETED>

the Gila River agreement, including all exhibits to the Gila River
agreement requiring the signature of the Secretary and any amendments

<DELETED> (1) No major federal action.--Execution of the
Gila River agreement by the Secretary under this section shall

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).</DELETED>
<DELETED> (2) Environmental compliance activities.--The
Secretary shall promptly carry out the environmental compliance
activities necessary to implement the Gila River agreement,
including activities under the National Environmental Policy
Act and the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.).</DELETED>
<DELETED> (3) Lead agency.--The Bureau of Reclamation shall
be designated as the lead agency with respect to environmental
compliance.</DELETED>
<DELETED> (d) Rehabilitation and Operation, Maintenance, and
Replacement of Certain Water Works.--</DELETED>
<DELETED> (1) In general.--In accordance with this title and

<DELETED> (ii) funds made available under
section 213(a).</DELETED>
<DELETED> (B) Supplementary repayment contract.--The
Secretary shall execute a supplementary repayment
contract with the San Carlos Irrigation and Drainage

things, provide that--</DELETED>
<DELETED> (i) in accomplishing the work
under the supplemental repayment contract, the
San Carlos Irrigation and Drainage District may
use the labor and contracting authorities that
are available under State law; and</DELETED>
<DELETED> (ii) a portion of the San Carlos
Irrigation and Drainage District's share of the
rehabilitation costs specified in exhibit 20.1

to the Secretary an appraisal of the
average value of water rights
appurtenant to 1,000 TBI eligible
acres.
(II) Review.--The Secretary shall
review the appraisal submitted to
ensure its consistency with the Uniform
Appraisal Standards for Federal Land
Acquisition and notify the Districts of
the results of the review within 30
days of submission of the appraisal. In
the event that the Secretary finds that
the appraisal is not consistent with
such standards, the Secretary shall so
notify the Districts with a full
explanation of the reasons for that
finding. Within 60 days of being
notified by the Secretary that the

the appraisal is consistent with
nationally approved Standards. If such
court finds the appraisal is so
consistent, the value stated in the
appraisal shall be final for all
purposes. If such court finds the
appraisal is not so consistent, the
court shall determine the average value
of water rights appurtenant to 1,000
TBI eligible acres.
(IV) No objection.--If the
Secretary does not object to an
appraisal within the time periods
provided in this clause (i), the value
determined in the appraisal shall be
final for all purposes.
(ii) Appraisal.--In determining the value
of water rights pursuant to this paragraph, any
court, the Districts, the Secretary, and any
appraiser shall take into account the
obligations the owner of the land (to which the
rights are appurtenant) will have after
acquisition for phreatophyle control as
provided in the UVD agreement and to comply
with environmental laws because of the
acquisition and severance and transfer or
extinguishment of the water rights.

parties simultaneously--
(i) acquire UV decreed water rights
associated with a like number of UV decreed
acres that are not TBI eligible acres; and
(ii) sever and transfer those rights to the
San Carlos Irrigation Project for the benefit
of the Community and the San Carlos Irrigation
and Drainage District.
(B) Fallowing agreement.--After the payment
provided by paragraph (2)(D)(iii), the Districts may
fulfill the requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3) in
full or in part, by entering into an agreement with 1
or more owners of UV decreed acres and the UV
irrigation district in which the acres are located, if
any, under which--
(i) the number of TBI eligible acres is
reduced; but
(ii) the owner of the UV decreed acres
subject to the reduction is permitted to
periodically irrigate the UV decreed acres

of not more than $28,000,000, as adjusted to reflect changes since
January 1, 2004, in the construction cost indices applicable to the
types of construction involved in construction of the New Mexico Unit.
(l) Disclaimer.--Nothing in this Act shall affect, alter, or
diminish rights to use of water of the Gila River within New Mexico, or
the authority of the State of New Mexico to administer such rights for
use within the State, as such rights are quantified by article IV of
the decree of the United States Supreme Court in Arizona v. California
(376 U.S. 340).
(m) Priority of Other Exchanges.--The Secretary shall not approve
any exchange of Gila River water for water supplied by the CAP that
would amend, alter, or conflict with the exchanges authorized by
section 304(f) of the Colorado River Basin Project Act (43 U.S.C.
1524(f)).
