              (2) By striking ``during those months when there is no 
          other discharge therefrom, but this release may be reduced for 
          brief temporary periods by the Secretary whenever he may find 
          that release of the full ten cubic feet per second is harmful 
          to the primary purpose of the project''.
              (3) By adding at the end the following: ``Without further 
          action by the Secretary, and as determined necessary for any

          mitigation for City of Prineville groundwater pumping, pursuant 
          to and in a manner consistent with Oregon State law, including 
          any shaping of the release of the up to seven cubic feet per 
          second to coincide with City of Prineville groundwater pumping 
          as may be required by the State of Oregon. As such, the 
          Secretary is authorized to make applications to the State of 
          Oregon in conjunction with the City to protect these supplies 
          instream. The City shall make payment to the Secretary for that 
          portion of the minimum release that actually serves as 
          mitigation pursuant to Oregon State law for the City in any 
          given year, with the payment for any given year equal to the 
          amount of mitigation in acre feet required to offset actual 
          City groundwater pumping for that year in accordance with 
          Reclamation `Water and Related Contract and Repayment 
          Principles and Requirements', Reclamation Manual Directives and 
          Standards PEC 05-01, dated 09/12/2006, and guided by `Economic

  Ochoco Irrigation District in Oregon, may repay, at any time, the 
  construction costs of the project facilities allocated to that 
  landowner's lands within the district. Upon discharge, in full, of the 
  obligation for repayment of the construction costs allocated to all 
  lands the landowner owns in the district, those lands shall not be 
  subject to the ownership and full-cost pricing limitations of the Act 
  of June 17, 1902 (43 U.S.C. 371 et seq.), and Acts supplemental to and 
  amendatory of that Act, including the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 
  (43 U.S.C. 390aa et seq.).
      (b) Certification.--Upon the request of a landowner who has repaid, 
  in full, the construction costs of the project facilities allocated to 
  that landowner's lands owned within the district, the Secretary of the 
  Interior shall provide the certification provided for in subsection 
  (b)(1) of section 213 of the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (43 U.S.C. 
  390mm(b)(1)).
      (c) Contract Amendment.--On approval of the district directors and 
  notwithstanding project authorizing legislation to the contrary, the 
  district's reclamation contracts are modified, without further action 
  by the Secretary of the Interior, to--
              (1) authorize the use of water for instream purposes, 
          including fish or wildlife purposes, in order for the district 
          to engage in, or take advantage of, conserved water projects 
          and temporary instream leasing as authorized by Oregon State 
          law;
              (2) include within the district boundary approximately 
          2,742 acres in the vicinity of McKay Creek, resulting in a 
          total of approximately 44,937 acres within the district 
          boundary;
              (3) classify as irrigable approximately 685 acres within 
          the approximately 2,742 acres of included lands in the vicinity 
          of McKay Creek, where the approximately 685 acres are 
          authorized to receive irrigation water pursuant to water rights 
          issued by the State of Oregon and have in the past received 
          water pursuant to such State water rights; and
              (4) provide the district with stored water from Prineville 
          Reservoir for purposes of supplying up to the approximately 685 
          acres of lands added within the district boundary and 
          classified as irrigable under paragraphs (2) and (3), with such 
          stored water to be supplied on an acre-per-acre basis 
          contingent on the transfer of existing appurtenant McKay Creek 
          water rights to instream use and the State's issuance of water 
          rights for the use of stored water.
      (d) Limitation.--Except as otherwise provided in subsections (a) 
  and (c), nothing in this section shall be construed to--
              (1) modify contractual rights that may exist between the 
          district and the United States under the district's Reclamation 
          contracts;
              (2) amend or reopen the contracts referred to in paragraph 
          (1); or
              (3) modify any rights, obligations or relationships that 
          may exist between the district and its landowners as may be 
          provided or governed by Oregon State law.
