AN ACT
To authorize the Secretary of the Interior to replace lateral pipelines, line discharge pipelines, and to do other work he determines to be required for the Avondale, Dalton Gardens, and Hayden Lake Irrigation Districts in the State of Idaho.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to replace lateral pipelines, perform interior lining of discharge pipelines, and to do other work he determines to be required in replacement, modification, or improvement of the facilities heretofore constructed by the United States for the Avondale, Dalton Gardens, and Hayden Lake Irrigation Districts in the State of Idaho.
Sec. 2.
Each irrigation district, starting with the year following the completion of the work for the district under the authority of this Act, shall repay the United States toward the cost thereof over a forty-year period annual installments which, when added to those payments required by existing repayment contracts between the United States and the district, will be equal to the amortization capacity of the lands of the district as that amortization capacity has been heretofore established by the Secretary. In the event works or capacity are provided hereunder at the request of the district in addition to those heretofore constructed by the United States and being replaced or improved under authority of this Act, such work may be undertaken by the Secretary at a cost not to exceed $125,000, and payment therefor shall be made concurrently with other annual payments as provided for herein.
Sec. 3.
Prior to initiating actual construction of any of the work authorized in section 1 of this Act, the district shall be required to enter into a contract with the United States satisfactory to the Secretary to repay the United States toward the cost thereof as provided in section 2 of this Act.
Sec. 4.
The remaining costs of the work completed hereunder for each district shall be returned to the reclamation fund within the period provided for in section 2 of this Act from revenues derived by the Secretary of the Interior from the disposition of power marketed through the Bonneville Power Administration.
Sec. 5.
There are hereby authorized to be appropriated such sums, but not more than $1,611,000, as are necessary to carry out the provisions of this Act.
