Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement: New Funding Structure and Infrastructure Control.
This law restructures the financing and management of water projects for the Crow Tribe by establishing new, dedicated investment accounts. It grants the Tribe full control and ownership over the construction and operation of new water infrastructure (like pipelines and treatment facilities). Crucially, the federal government is explicitly relieved of future operation and maintenance costs for these projects.
Key points
Creation of dedicated financial accounts (MR&I Projects Account) for the construction, repair, and maintenance of water infrastructure for the Crow Tribe.
The Crow Tribe gains full ownership and operational responsibility for the water projects; the Federal Government will not cover future maintenance costs.
Funds allocated for water projects will be adjusted for inflation (indexing) to maintain their real value against rising construction costs since 2008.
