There is a presumption that, where feasible, referred cases will be prosecuted in an Article III court.

S. 1080 would clarify the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior with respect to the C.C. Cragin Dam and Reservoir.

A speedy resolution to this jurisdictional issue is needed in order to provide certainty in SRP's repair work.
