"Lawmakers Reach Final Deal On WRDA Bill"

"The water projects legislation is poised to become law in the coming weeks."

"The Senate and House reached a final agreement Tuesday on a major bipartisan water infrastructure bill, which authorizes a range of federal projects to reduce flooding, improve ports and restore ecosystems.

The “Thomas R. Carper Water Resources Development Act of 2024” would direct the Army Corps of Engineers to carry out 17 new water infrastructure projects and to study dozens of other potential ones.

The newly authorized ventures include a $2.7 billion storm risk reduction effort in Miami, a $26.7 million stormwater management initiative outside Memphis, Tennessee, and $2.1 billion toward restoration of the Everglades, among others."

Miranda Willson reports for E&E News December 4, 2024.
