and treat the spreading groundwater contamination in the San Gabriel 
and Central Water Basins. The San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority 
was established by California State law under SB1679 in 1993 to 
develop, finance and implement groundwater treatment programs in the 
San Gabriel Basin and act as a clearinghouse for federal funds that 
have been appropriated for these programs. The project is authorized in 
P.L. 106-554 and this request is consistent with the intended and 
authorized purpose of the Bureau of Reclamations Water and Related 
Resources account. The current authorization ceiling for the 
Restoration Fund has yet to be reached, with roughly $4,000,000 yet to 
be appropriated. The San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority will 
provide a minimum of a 35% cost share which will come directly from the 
Water Quality Authority.
