	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 831, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review. Monterey County
Water Resources Agency: Lake Nacimiento and Lake San Antonio.
   Existing law establishes the Monterey County Water Resources
Agency as a flood control and water agency within the County of
Monterey. Existing law authorizes the agency to award a design-build
contract for the combined design and construction of a project to
connect Lake San Antonio, located in the County of Monterey, and Lake
Nacimiento, located in the County of San Luis Obispo, with an
underground tunnel or pipeline for the purpose of maximizing water
storage, supply, and groundwater recharge.
   This bill would appropriate $10,000,000 from the General Fund to
the Department of Water Resources for the purposes of a water
conveyance tunnel between Lake Nacimiento and Lake San Antonio and
spillway modifications at Lake San Antonio to increase storage by
approximately 60,000 acre-feet. The bill would require the department
to grant the $10,000,000 appropriated for the purposes of the water
conveyance tunnel and spillway modifications to the Monterey County
Water Resources Agency for the purposes of constructing the water
conveyance tunnel and spillway modifications, as specified.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a
bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
   Appropriation: yes.
