The Stop the Delta Tunnel Act would prohibit the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from issuing a permit for California's Delta Conveyance Project, a proposed infrastructure development in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region. The bill specifically blocks the Corps from granting a water pollution permit under federal environmental law for this project, which was detailed in a Corps environmental study released in December 2022. The legislation was introduced by a group of California House members in February 2025 and referred to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, focusing solely on preventing the permitting of this project. This legislation would effectively halt federal authorization for the Delta Conveyance Project unless Congress later reverses course.
