SEC. 111. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. (a) Joining of Parties. —In the event any party to the Settlement Agreement should file a lawsuit in any United States district court relating only and directly to the interpretation or enforcement of the Settlement Agreement or this title, naming the United States of America or the Tribe as parties, authorization is hereby granted to join the United States of America or the Tribe, or both, in any such litigation, and any claim by the United States of America or the Tribe to sovereign immunity from such suit is hereby waived. In the event Prescott submits a dispute under the Water Service Agreement to arbitration or seeks review by the United States District Court for the District of Arizona of an arbitration award under the Water Service Agreement, any claim by the Tribe to sovereign immunity from such arbitration or review is hereby waived. (b) No Reimbursement.— The United States of America shall make no claims for reimbursement of costs arising out of the implementation of the Settlement Agreement or this title against any lands within the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Reservation, and no assessment shall be made with regard to such costs against such lands. (c) Water Management. —The Tribe shall establish a ground water management plan for the Reservation which, except to be consistent with the Water Service Agreement, the Settlement Agreement and this title, will be compatible with the ground water management plan in effect for the Prescott Active Management 108 STAT. 4532Area and will include an annual information exchange with the Arizona Department of Water Resources. In establishing a ground water management plan pursuant to this section, the Tribe may enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Arizona Department of Water Resources for consultation. Notwithstanding any other law, the Tribe may establish a tribal water code, consistent with the above-described water management plan, under which the Tribe will manage, regulate, and control the water resources granted it in the Settlement Act, the Settlement Agreement, and the Water Service Agreement, except that such management, regulation and control shall not authorize any action inconsistent with the trust ownership of the Tribe’s water resources. (d) Gauging Station. —The Secretary, acting through the Geological Survey, shall establish, maintain and operate a gauging station at the State Highway 89 bridge across Granite Creek adjacent to the reservation to assist the Tribe and the CVID in allocating the surface flows from Granite Creek as provided in the Settlement Agreement.
