To establish a spending-neutral reserve fund to keep the Federal Water Pollution Control Act focused on protection of water quality, to establish bright lines for Federal jurisdiction, and to create clear and unambiguous exemptions for features that the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency or the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, claim they are not seeking to regulate.

SA 347. Mr. BARRASSO (for himself, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Rounds, Mr.
Inhofe, Mr. Wicker, Mrs. Capito, Mr. Boozman, Mr. Crapo, Mr. Coats, Mr.
Hoeven, Mr. Vitter, Mr. Isakson, and Mr. Moran) submitted an amendment
intended to be proposed by him to the concurrent resolution S. Con.
Res. 11, setting forth the congressional budget for the United States
Government for fiscal year 2016 and setting forth the appropriate
budgetary levels for fiscal years 2017 through 2025; which was ordered
to lie on the table; as follows:

At the appropriate place, insert the following:

SEC. ___. SPENDING-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO KEEPING
THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT FOCUSED
ON THE PROTECTION OF WATER QUALITY.

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution
for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments,
amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports
relating to ensuring that Federal jurisdiction under the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.)
is focused on water quality, which may include limiting
jurisdiction based on the movement of birds, mammals, or
insects through the air or over the land, the movement of
water through the ground, or the movement of rainwater or
snowmelt over the land, or limiting jurisdiction over
puddles, isolated ponds, roadside ditches, irrigation
ditches, stormwater systems, wastewater systems, or water
delivery, reuse, or reclamation systems, by the amounts
provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided
that such legislation would not raise new revenue and would
not increase the deficit over either the period of the total
of fiscal years 2016 through 2020 or the period of the total
of fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
