| Statement of Purpose |
| RS16329 |
This is a one-time appropriation to provide Idaho’s match for a preliminary study of flood control measures on the Bear River above Bear Lake. House Joint Memorial 1 of 2005 urged Congress to support a feasibility study by the US Corps of Engineers relating to the possibilities, benefits and costs of providing flood control above Bear Lake. In order to get the study started, the State of Wyoming has stated a willingness to provide $50,000 for preliminary work provided that the State of Idaho will match that amount. The $100,000 would be used for a preliminary study and would apply as part of the 50-50 local match required by the federal government to fully fund the entire study. HJM 1 of 2005 asked that $2.5 million spent by Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah for stream gauging, planning, and other projects be applied as match for the larger study.
