What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Stop the Delta Tunnel Act," aims to stop a specific project. It prevents the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Engineers from issuing a permit for the Delta Conveyance Project. The project is described in a document titled "Delta Conveyance Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement" from December 2022. This prohibition specifically relates to permits under section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
