	United States Bureau of Reclamation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1923 the agency was renamed the "Bureau of Reclamation." Then, in the face of increasing settler unrest and financial problems for the reclamation program, in 1924 the "Fact Finder's Report" spotlighted the issues.
		Reclamation's redefined official mission is to "manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public." In redirecting its programs and responsibilities, Reclamation substantially reduced its staff levels and budgets but remains a significant Federal agency in the West.
		Reclamation commissioners that have had a strong impact and molding of the Bureau include Mike Straus and Floyd Dominy, New Deal Democrats and public power boosters that ran the Bureau during its heyday years.

	SURFACE MINING CONTROL AND RECLAMATION ACT: Summary from Federal Wildlife Laws Handbook
		The Act authorizes to be appropriated funds to provide each participating state $400,000 for each fiscal year 1990-1994, to support a mining and mineral resources research institute or center at a public college or university in the state which meets the Act's eligibility criteria.
		Lands and water eligible for reclamation or drainage abatement expenditures are those that were mined for coal or affected by mining, wastebanks, coal processing or other coal mining processes, and abandoned or left in an inadequate reclamation status prior to enactment of the Act.
		Reclamation plans must include a statement of: pre-mining land condition; post-mining land use and how that use is to be achieved; the consideration given to developing the plan in a manner consistent with local physical, environmental and climatological conditions.

		Section 1 of the Act created a reclamation fund to be used "in the examination and survey for and the construction and maintenance of irrigation works for the storage, diversion, and development of waters for the reclamation of arid and semiarid lands" in the western states.
		The text of the Reclamation Reform Act, and its legislative history, demonstrate that Congress's primary concern was not the amount of the federal subsidy but, rather, its equitable distribution under modern-day conditions.
		Rather, when viewed in the context of the entire Reclamation Reform Act and the federal reclamation laws of which it is a part, it is apparent that the overriding purpose of Section 203(b) is to assure fidelity to the longstanding federal objective of directing the delivery of federally subsidized water to smaller scale farming operations.
