Synopsis
of Original Bill
Senate Bill 742 adds
the Interstate Stream Commission to the governmental entities allowed to store

Issues
ISC states this bill would provide a method of water storage that would not be subject to unacceptable evaporative losses and give additional flexibility to ISC in storage options.
