DEPARTMENTAL OFFICES OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

For necessary expenses of the Office of the Secretary of the Interior, $43,411,000, of which not to exceed $10,000 may be for official reception and representation expenses: Provided, That notwithstanding any other provision of law, of the funds provided under this heading, not to exceed $300,000 shall be used to pay or repay the costs of development of alternative winter stock water supplies by water users who have been deprived of winter stock water from the main channel of Willow Creek, Idaho, below Ririe Dam and Reservoir because of the operation of the dam and reservoir (hereinafter in this account referred to as claimants). Any payment to a claimant made under this section shall constitute full settlement and satisfaction of all claims such claimant may have against the United States relating to the loss of winter stock water from Willow Creek, Idaho. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any claim settled prior to the date of enactment of this Act. The Secretary shall make a payment to a claimant only if— (1) the claimant notifies the Secretary of his claim within six months after the date of enactment of this Act; (2) the claimant provides an affidavit proving, to the satisfaction of the Secretary, his use of winter stock water from Willow Creek prior to December 31, 1979; and (3) the claimant executes a waiver and release, in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary, of any and all claims against the United States relating to the loss of winter stock water from Willow Creek, Idaho. Such waiver and release shall be recorded in the county where the claimant's land is located. Any claimant who has developed an alternate winter stock water supply since December 31, 1979, shall be eligible for a payment of an amount equal to the actual construction costs incurred by such claimant in the development of such supply, as determined by the Secretary. Any claimant who has not developed an alternate winter stock water supply as of the date of enactment of this Act, shall be eligible for a payment of an amount equal to the funds necessary for the development of such supply, as determined by the Secretary. The Secretary's determination shall be based on the size and configuration of the claimant's land and on the size and type of the claimant's livestock operation.
