Sloan Canyon Conservation and Lateral Pipeline Act

This law makes the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area in Clark County, Nevada, about 9,290 acres bigger and allows the Southern Nevada Water Authority to build a water pipeline and related equipment through the conservation area and other federal land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The pipeline cannot go through wilderness areas or permanently damage the surface of the conservation area, and the Bureau of Land Management can set rules to protect the area's resources. The law also says that existing rights, like utility lines, are still allowed, and new utility projects can still be approved in the expanded conservation area.
