Stop the Delta Tunnel Act

HR 1311, the Stop the Delta Tunnel Act, prohibits the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from issuing a federal permit for California's Delta Conveyance Project. The bill specifically blocks a permit under the Clean Water Act (section 404) for the project described in the Corps' December 2022 Draft Environmental Impact Statement. This directly affects the project's ability to proceed by preventing a key federal approval needed for construction. The bill does not alter the project itself but stops the permitting process for this specific water infrastructure initiative.
