Since 2005, the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and the Fish Springs Ranch, LLC, have been involved in litigation over a proposed Fish Springs Ranch water project which could impact Pyramid Lake.\r\nThe Tribe and Vidler have negotiated and finalized a settlement agreement which would allow the water project to move forward in return for $3.6 million and the transfer of several hundred acres of land to the Tribe. The Tribe will waive its claims to any existing and claimed water rights. This legislation would approve the settlement agreement and would have no cost to taxpayers.\r\n\u201cWith water being such a precious resource in Nevada, I\u2019m proud this bipartisan proposal moved to the final phase of a resolution: the President\u2019s desk. This dispute has been settled in a mutually beneficial manner for all parties involved. Best of all, this agreement is a key piece of future resource planning in the Truckee Meadows and will allow for long-term planning to progress in the region. This has been a long-standing issue, and I\u2019m pleased to see this was resolved before the end of the year.\u201d stated Senator Heller.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.heller.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=64ca400c-1538-4fb3-ac86-5f49c7ee783d"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8291797712445259, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
