This bill would change the Water Resources Development Act of 2000 so the Secretary of the Army can carry out more Great Lakes fishery and ecosystem restoration projects that are not eligible under current Department of the Army policy. It also adds a limit that the total federal amount spent on any one project under this section may not be more than $20,000,000.
The bill lets the Secretary of the Army authorize additional restoration projects in the Great Lakes that the Army could not fund before. Each project funded under this change would have a federal spending cap of $20 million. The bill was introduced in the House by Representative Marcy Kaptur and was referred to committees for review.
The bill sets a maximum federal payment of $20,000,000 per project carried out under the amended section. No publicly available information on overall program costs, appropriations needs, or how many projects would be funded.
