                   ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary shall establish and 
     implement pilot programs, in accordance with this section, to 
     evaluate opportunities to address the flood risk management 
     and hurricane and storm damage risk reduction needs of rural 
     communities and economically disadvantaged communities.
       (b)  Economically Disadvantaged Community Flood Protection 
     and Hurricane and Storm Damage Reduction Study Pilot 
     Program.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall establish and 
     implement a pilot program to carry out feasibility studies, 
     in accordance with this subsection, for flood risk management 
     and hurricane and storm damage risk reduction projects for 
     economically disadvantaged communities, in coordination with 
     non-Federal interests.
       (2) Participation in pilot program.--In carrying out 
     paragraph (1), the Secretary shall--
       (A) publish a notice in the Federal Register that requests 
     from non-Federal interests proposals for the potential 
     feasibility study of a flood risk management project or 
     hurricane and storm damage risk reduction project for an 
     economically disadvantaged community;
       (B) upon request of a non-Federal interest for such a 
     project, provide technical assistance to such non-Federal 
     interest in the formulation of a proposal for a potential 
     feasibility study to be submitted to the Secretary under the 
     pilot program; and
       (C) review such proposals and select 10 feasibility studies 
     for such projects to be carried out by the Secretary, in 
     coordination with the non-Federal interest, under this pilot 
     program.
       (3) Selection criteria.--In selecting a feasibility study 
     under paragraph (2)(C), the Secretary shall consider 
     whether--
       (A) the percentage of people living in poverty in the 
     county or counties (or county-equivalent entity or entities) 
     in which the project is located is greater than the 
     percentage of people living in poverty in the State, based on 
     census bureau data;
       (B) the percentage of families with income above the 
     poverty threshold but below the average household income in 
     the county or counties (or county-equivalent entity or 
     entities) in which the project is located is greater than 
     such percentage for the State, based on census bureau data;
       (C) the percentage of the population that identifies as 
     belonging to a minority or indigenous group in the county or 
     counties (or county-equivalent entity or entities) in which 
     the project is located is greater than the average such 
     percentage in the State, based on census bureau data; and
       (D) the project is addressing flooding or hurricane or 
     storm damage effects that have a disproportionate impact on a 
     rural community, a minority community, or an Indian Tribe.
       (4) Administration.--Notwithstanding the requirements of 
     section 105(a)(1)(A) of the Water Resources Development Act 
     of 1986 (33 U.S.C. 2215), the Federal share of the cost of a 
     feasibility study carried out under the pilot program shall 
     be 100 percent.
       (5) Study requirements.--Feasibility studies carried out 
     under this subsection shall, to the maximum extent 
     practicable, incorporate natural features or nature-based 
     features (as such terms are defined in section 1184 of the 
     Water Resources Development Act of 2016 (33 U.S.C. 2289a)), 
     or a combination of such features and nonstructural features, 
     that avoid or reduce at least 50 percent of flood or storm 
     damages in one or more of the alternatives included in the 
     final alternatives evaluated.
       (6) Notification.--The Secretary shall notify the Committee 
     on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Environment and Public 
     Works of the Senate of the selection of each feasibility 
     study under the pilot program.

     SEC. 124. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MULTIPURPOSE PROJECTS.

       It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary, in 
     coordination with non-Federal interests, should maximize the 
     development, evaluation, and recommendation of project 
     alternatives for future water resources development projects 
     that produce multiple project benefits, such as navigation, 
     flood risk management, and ecosystem restoration benefits, 
     including through the use of natural or nature-based features 
     and the beneficial use of dredged material.

     SEC. 125. BENEFICIAL USE OF DREDGED MATERIAL; DREDGED 
                   MATERIAL MANAGEMENT PLANS.

       (a) National Policy on the Beneficial Use of Dredged 
     Material.--
       (1) In general.--It is the policy of the United States for 
     the Corps of Engineers to maximize the beneficial use, in an 
     environmentally acceptable manner, of suitable dredged 
     material obtained from the construction or operation and 
     maintenance of water resources development projects.
       (2) Placement of dredged materials.--
       (A) In general.--In evaluating the placement of dredged 
     material obtained from the construction or operation and 
     maintenance of water resources development projects, the 
     Secretary shall consider--
       (i) the suitability of the dredged material for a full 
     range of beneficial uses; and
       (ii) the economic and environmental benefits, efficiencies, 
     and impacts (including the effects on living coral) of using 
     the dredged material for beneficial uses, including, in the 
     case of beneficial use activities that involve more than one 
     water resources development project, the benefits, 
     efficiencies, and impacts that result from the combined 
     activities.
       (B) Calculation of federal standard.--
       (i) Determination.--The economic benefits and efficiencies 
     from the beneficial use of dredged material considered by the 
     Secretary under subparagraph (A) shall be included in any 
     determination relating to the ``Federal standard'' by the 
     Secretary under section 335.7 of title 33, Code of Federal 
     Regulations, for the placement or disposal of such material.
       (ii) Reports.--The Secretary shall submit to Congress--

       (I) a report detailing the method and all of the factors 
     utilized by the Corps of Engineers to determine the Federal 
     standard referred to in clause (i); and
       (II) for each evaluation under subparagraph (A), a report 
     displaying the calculations for economic and environmental 
     benefits and efficiencies from the beneficial use of dredged 
     material (including, where appropriate, the utilization of 
     alternative dredging equipment and dredging disposal methods) 
     considered by the Secretary under such subparagraph for the

     SEC. 154. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ARCTIC DEEP DRAFT PORT 
                   DEVELOPMENT.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Arctic, as defined in section 112 of the Arctic 
     Research and Policy Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-373), is a 
     region of strategic importance to the national security and 
     maritime transportation interests of the United States;
       (2) there is a compelling national, regional, Alaska 
     Native, and private sector need for permanent maritime 
     transportation infrastructure development and for a presence 
     in the Arctic by the United States to assert national 
     security interests and to support and facilitate search and 
     rescue, shipping safety, economic development, oil spill 
     prevention and response, subsistence and commercial fishing, 
     the establishment of ports of refuge, Arctic research, and 
     maritime law enforcement;
       (3) the Government of the Russian Federation has 
     prioritized the development of Arctic maritime transportation 
     capabilities and has made significant investments in military 
     infrastructure in the Arctic, including the construction or 
     refurbishment of 16 deepwater ports in the region;
       (4) is a serious concern that the closest United States 
     strategic seaports to the Arctic are the Port of Anchorage 
     and the Port of Tacoma, located approximately 1,500 nautical 
     miles and 2,400 nautical miles away from the Arctic, 
     respectively, and approximately 1,900 nautical miles and 
     2,800 nautical miles, respectively, from Utiagvik, Alaska; 
     and
       (5) it is in the national interest to enhance existing, and 
     develop, maritime transportation infrastructure in the 
     Arctic, including an Arctic deep draft strategic seaport in 
     Alaska, that would allow the Coast Guard and the Navy each to 
     perform their respective statutory duties and functions on a 
     permanent basis with minimal mission interruption.

     SEC. 513. DETERMINATION OF BUDGETARY EFFECTS.

       The budgetary effects of this Act, for the purpose of 
     complying with the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, shall 
     be determined by reference to the latest statement titled 
     ``Budgetary Effects of PAYGO Legislation'' for this Act, 
     submitted for printing in the Congressional Record by the 
     Chairman of the House Budget Committee, provided that such 
     statement has been submitted prior to the vote on passage.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Oregon (Mr. DeFazio) and the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Graves) each 
will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Oregon.


                             General Leave

  Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their 
remarks, including extraneous material on S. 1811, as amended.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Oregon?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Madam Speaker, legislation very similar to this passed the House of 
Representatives unanimously earlier this year. This bill will continue 
the bipartisan tradition restarted by Chairman Shuster in 2014 of doing 
a Water Resources Development Act every 2 years. It is critical.
  I am thankful to Ranking Member Graves, Chairwoman Grace Napolitano, 
and Subcommittee Ranking Member Bruce Westerman for their hard work in 
developing the House version and helping us negotiate with the Senate. 
I also thank our Senate colleagues, Committee on Environment and Public 
Works Chairman John Barrasso, who has pushed very hard for this bill, 
and Ranking Member Tom Carper, for their collaboration.
  Madam Speaker, this builds on the success of H.R. 7575, which, as I 
said, passed the House of Representatives earlier this year 
unanimously. It authorizes construction of 46 reports of the Chief of 
the Corps of Engineers. It is a record number of Chief's Reports, 
almost matching the number authorized in 2016 and 2018.
  Now, that would only be made possible by the full utilization of the 
harbor maintenance trust fund. For decades, since Ronald Reagan was 
President, we have been assessing a tiny ad valorem tax on the value of 
goods and containers flowing through the ports coming into the United 
States of America.
  Despite the pressing need to dredge our harbors, to authorize steps 
to repair jetties before they fail totally and become much more 
expensive to replace, for many years Congress refused to spend that 
full amount of money. There is now around $10 billion collected in 
taxes from the American people for a specific purpose for which it has 
not been spent.
  I started working on this with Bud Shuster--not Bill--Bud Shuster, 
his dad, back in 1996 to access the full amount of the harbor 
maintenance trust fund. It got out of that committee twice under 
Chairman Shuster. He was quite amazed it came out unanimously, 
including Freedom Caucus members and others, but Paul Ryan saw fit to 
strip it from the bill because he didn't think that we should maintain 
our harbors and our ports as a maritime Nation. I guess being inland, 
he didn't think that was so important.
  We now have finally gotten to that point where we are going to access 
the funds. There is one tiny remaining problem--since the Senate seems 
to be totally incapable of passing any individual pieces of legislation 
and doing nothing individually except judges--we are seeking to attach 
this to the Omnibus, Continuing Resolution, budget deal, whatever the 
heck you want to call it.
  Now, the Committee on Appropriations in the Senate has raised 
concerns. Even though this does not count officially against 
allocations on an annual basis, they are worried that somehow someone 
might look at them and say, Well you have got all this other money, so 
we are going to cut back on your regular amount of money. That is not 
going to happen. This need is great.
  This is a huge bipartisan success with agreement by harbors all 
around the country, large and small, emerging, developed, energy ports. 
It is critical to the United States of America as a maritime Nation 
that we get this done and we begin to do the work on a daily basis.
  Of our 58 largest harbors, 35 percent are at their authorized depths. 
That means ships go around, that means ships have to pass too close to 
one another in order to navigate restricted channels. It means jetties 
that are beginning to fail don't get fixed, and every year that they 
fail they become much, much more expensive to repair until the point of 
total failure, at which point it becomes incredibly expensive.
  Madam Speaker, should we access the harbor maintenance trust fund 
over the next 5 years at $2 billion a year, plus the expected income, 
we could bring all of our ports up to a state of good repair in 5 
years. What the Senate staff is insisting on would stretch that out for 
20 years--and actually, would stretch it out longer, because if you 
start doing things 18 years from now, they would have deteriorated even 
more and become more expensive. So they would, essentially, 
indefinitely put off bringing our harbors to a state of good repair 
because of unfounded concern.
  Madam Speaker, I am hopeful that common sense will prevail, if there 
is any such thing on the other side of Capitol Hill.
  I want to go back to thanking members of our committee and the staff 
who did great work on this bill. It is an excellent bill.
  It also deals with inland waterways on a cost-share basis. It deals 
with building in resilience to deal with climate change--even if you 
don't believe in it--and will use natural systems as much as possible 
for these needs.
  Chairwoman Grace Napolitano, who did not travel here today, was 
dogged in her support for the maintenance needs and advocacy for her 
large harbors. And ultimately, we came to an agreement, as I said, 
between all sizes of harbors around the country.
  Madam Speaker, I also thank my ranking member, Sam Graves. He 
couldn't have been a better partner in helping us deal with the other 
side of Capitol Hill, and Mr. Westerman for his steadfast support and 
importance to the final bill. Today's success would not have been 
possible without their great work.

[[Page H6978]]

  There are a number of members of the committee who were particularly 
crucial: Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, Abby Finkenauer, Harley Rouda, Conor 
Lamb, Angie Craig, Chris Pappas, Antonio Delgado, Lizzie Fletcher,   
Greg Stanton, and Sharice Davids, all members of the committee who 
contributed significantly to this.
  And also, we did lose the language to reauthorize the Clean Water 
State Revolving Fund, which hasn't been reauthorized since 1987. I kind 
of thought it was time but, apparently, that is right now not on the 
radar of some people.
  Madam Speaker, the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) is 
legislation that is essential to everyday American life-supporting jobs 
and our economy, protecting American lives and property, and restoring 
and protecting our vital natural resources. The Water Resources 
Development Act of 2020 (WRDA 2020) modernizes and invests in our water 
resources infrastructure by: (1) authorizing critical, locally driven 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) projects and studies; (2) 
expediting the delivery of future projects; (3) increasing water 
storage and supply; (4) preventing, managing, and eradicating invasive 
species that reduce and degrade our water resources infrastructure and 
the environment; (5) building resiliency to increasing storm and 
flooding risks: (6) increasing community and Tribal involvement and 
engagement; and (7) addressing communities with affordability concerns. 
WRDA 2020 strengthens our Nation's security and economic 
competitiveness by deepening our ports and harbors, maintaining our 
inland waterways, and providing protection from dangerous flooding, 
while remaining committed to economically and environmentally 
responsible development.
  In WRDA bills, Congress authorizes studies and projects encompassing 
the key missions of the Corps, including supporting coastal and inland 
waterways infrastructure, effective and targeted flood protection, 
environmental restoration, storm damage prevention, and proactive water 
supply initiatives. Each of the 46 completed feasibility study reports 
of the Chief of Engineers (Chiefs Reports) authorized by WRDA 2020 were 
locally driven and cost-shared, rigorously studied, and determined by 
the Corps to be economically justified, technically sound, and 
environmentally acceptable.
  Since 2014, Congress has resumed the tradition of biennial 
consideration of WRDAs, and WRDA 2020 continues to deliver new 
authorities on a predictable authorization cycle to meet the water 
resource needs of local communities and to provide appropriate 
oversight of, and policy direction to, the Administration and the 
Corps. The transformative nature of the last three WRDA bills has 
provided the Corps and the non-Federal interests with new opportunities 
to advance projects more quickly and with greater effectiveness. WRDA 
2020 builds on these changes by ensuring that future water resources 
development projects are developed in a resilient and more sustainable 
manner, by targeting increased Federal assistance to rural and 
economically-disadvantaged communities and Tribes that have seen 
challenges in implementing critical water resources infrastructure, and 
by modernizing the process for project development to ensure that all 
project benefits, including economical, regional, environmental, and 
other societal benefits, are considered in the formulation of future 
projects.
  Title 1 of WRDA 2020 ensures that the Corps operates and executes 
projects to meet our Nation's ever evolving 21st century needs. This 
title supports our transportation infrastructure and ensures the 
efficient flow of domestic and international commerce by reinstating 
the Federal commitment to our ports, harbors, and inland waterways. It 
builds on the CARES Act (Pub. L. 116-136) by unlocking funds that have 
already been collected from shippers for the purpose of harbor 
deepening and maintenance, and that have remained unspent, in the 
Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (HMTF) while there are unmet operation 
and maintenance needs at ports and harbors. In addition, this title 
establishes a new authorization framework for the allocation of harbor 
maintenance funds to ensure equitable expenditures to meet the ongoing 
needs of the Nation's largest ports, Commercial Strategic Seaports, 
Great Lakes Harbors, and emerging harbors. Title 1 also addresses 
critical needs to modernize our Federal inland waterway system by 
authorizing additional funds from the General Fund of the Treasury 
towards the construction of projects on the Inland Waterway System, 
which handles approximately half of all inland waterway freight and 
one-twelfth of all national freight.
  Further, Title 1 of WRDA 2020 ensures that future water resources 
development projects are designed and built with greater resiliency to 
address the needs of the next century. For example, this title directs 
the Corps to consider nature-based and natural features while 
developing projects, and advocates for innovation that ensures the 
resiliency and longevity of Corps construction. Similarly, this title 
recognizes the needs of communities that are currently facing repeat 
flooding events by providing critical assistance for the expedited 
consideration of permanent measures to reduce local flooding risks.
  Moreover, Title 1 makes policy reforms to promote stronger local-
level partnerships, decisionmaking, and effective, transparent project 
development and implementation that will overall improve water 
infrastructure development. Other provisions within this title ensure 
the protection of all communities through wider consideration of 
project benefits and greater flexibility and support for populations 
with affordability concerns. Title 1 also helps communities respond 
faster to natural disasters, improves the safety of our dams and 
levees, addresses necessary updates to aging infrastructure, and 
supports critical work against invasive species and harmful algal 
blooms. Lastly, this title recognizes the increasing role the Corps 
plays in addressing the water supply and water conservation needs of 
local and rural communities.
  Title 2 of WRDA 2020 ensures continuity in addressing our water 
resources development needs. It authorizes feasibility studies for the 
development of future projects, while ensuring that studies currently 
underway are completed expeditiously. Title 2 also makes necessary 
adjustments to existing studies or projects to ensure they are forward-
looking and encompass as many potential benefits to the localities as 
practicable. In addition, this title authorizes the analysis of 
regional or watershed-based systems which facilitates cohesive projects 
and greater end results for the systems without inadvertently 
segmenting out populations or sub-systems. Further, this title directs 
the Corps to examine and report back on various Corps internal 
processes and assets to identify additional opportunities for Corps 
expertise and improvement in work efficacy.
  Title 3 addresses ongoing Corps operations and opportunities to 
ensure efficient project delivery as well as remove outdated or 
duplicative Corps authorizations. Continuing in the tradition of the 
last three WRDAs, WRDA 2020 directs the Corps to identify approximately 
$10 billion in antiquated construction authorizations that can be 
deauthorized, which is roughly equivalent to the cost of the new Chiefs 
Reports authorized by this legislation.
  In addition, the revisions and updates to projects in Title 3, on 
advisement from the Corps, will keep those projects on track for 
delivery and maintain the effectiveness and efficiency of these Federal 
investments. This title also makes modifications to existing programs 
within the Corps to include a wider range of eligible regions for those 
programs and provide them with sufficient authorization levels to 
achieve their central purposes.
  Further, Title 3 deauthorizes or transfers, in part or in whole, 
certain projects which are no longer within the mission of the Corps or 
are otherwise better suited as returned to the localities. These 
actions maintain Corps dependability and its relationships with non-
Federal sponsors and stakeholders, while alleviating superfluous lands 
or projects that should be returned to states and localities and 
removed from Corps responsibilities.
  Title 4 of WRDA 2020 affirms the Federal commitment to delivering 
water resources projects and the continued improvement of American 
water infrastructure. Again, this title authorizes 46 Corps projects to 
move to construction and makes changes to projects currently underway 
to guarantee their accuracy and long-term value. Projects authorized 
under WRDA 2020 will sustain jobs and our economic competitiveness by 
maintaining the flow of goods through our navigational channels and 
protecting American lives, land, and assets from flood or storm waters. 
The projects will restore and enhance our natural resources, ecosystems 
and environment, and prepare communities for increasingly wet or dry 
conditions. These essential projects will positively impact populations 
in all regions of the country and build smarter, more resilient 
infrastructure for the benefit of generations to come.
  Title 5 of this bill makes several changes to Corps and other Federal 
agency authorities related to the control of invasive species or for 
other purposes. Invasive species have a devastating impact on our 
Nation's water infrastructure, as well as on our water supply. 
Increasingly, the Corps is required to partner with other Federal 
agencies to control the spread of invasive species, both on land and in 
the aquatic environment. The changes made by this title include the 
creation of new pilot programs to address invasive species such as 
Asian Carp, elodea, and quagga mussels, as well as noxious weeds. This 
title also retains the traditional roles of the Corps and other Federal 
agencies in controlling the spread or managing and reducing existing 
invasive species.
  The managers of the U.S. House of Representative and the U.S. Senate 
for WRDA

[[Page H6979]]

2020 (``the Managers'') also highlight the following sections of this 
legislation and other matters related to the Corps:
  Section 109 addresses the critical need to modernize our Federal 
Inland Waterway System. This section authorizes additional funds from 
the General Fund of the Treasury towards the construction of authorized 
inland waterways projects. The Managers have authorized this change to 
the current 50-50 cost share for inland projects to resolve the backlog 
in these critical projects, and intend that any inland project that 
received construction assistance prior to fiscal year 2030 utilize the 
new 75-25 cost share authorized by this section through completion of 
the project. The Managers also expect that this additional support will 
be prioritized for those projects identified by inland users as most 
essential in the 20-year capital development plan required under 
section 302(d) of WRDA 1986, including the Upper Ohio navigation 
system, the Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program for the 
Upper Mississippi River, and the Three Rivers project in Southeast 
Arkansas. It is the intention of the Managers that current 
prioritization plans be followed by the Corps in its funding of inland 
waterway projects.
  Section 112 directs the Corps to ensure meaningful participation and 
consultation by economically disadvantaged communities and Indian 
Tribes in the development of future water resources projects. During 
formulation of WRDA 2020, the Managers heard concerns from economically 
disadvantaged communities and Indian Tribes of a lack of transparency 
and meaningful communication with these communities. Managers expect 
that continuous commitment to, and review of, Corps policies 
surrounding community engagement and tribal consultation will minimize 
adverse impacts to these populations, including detrimental impacts to 
their health, property, and livelihoods. It is the Managers' intention 
that the Corps complete reviews and make adjustments, if warranted, to 
procedures expeditiously to ameliorate concerns and avoid conflict with 
existing and future water resources projects.

  Section 125 renews the Congressional commitment to beneficial use of 
dredged material. While carrying out the beneficial use of dredged 
material pilot program pursuant to section 1122 of WRDA 2016, the Corps 
is directed to carry out at least one project utilizing thin layer 
placement of dredged fine and coarse grain sediment. This demonstration 
program is also authorized to be expanded to apply to recovering lost 
storage capacity in reservoirs due to sediment accumulation, if the 
project meets the other criteria within the program. The Corps is 
directed to carry out at least one project to recover lost storage 
capacity under the program as well. With this section, Managers expect 
the Corps to select projects that encompass a wide range of regional 
areas, economic status, and utilization methods.
  Additionally, this section further encourages the Corps to coordinate 
planning for the deployment of Federal and non-Federal dredges. In 
sequencing dredging work to benefit multiple mission sets and providing 
consistent navigational certainty, especially in areas of high maritime 
traffic in our Nation's harbors and waterways, the Managers believe 
proper implementation of this program will benefit the American economy 
and restoration efforts alike. The Managers intend this authority to be 
used in conjunction with the Gulf Coast Regional Dredge Demonstration 
Program created in P.L. 116-94, the Further Consolidated Appropriations 
Act, 2020.
  Section 161 makes changes to the study process pursuant to section 
203 of WRDA 1986. As required by this section, this new policy does not 
apply to any project being authorized by this Act. Further these 
changes do not apply to any feasibility study submitted to the Corps 
during the one-year period prior to the date of enactment of this 
section, such as the Raymondville Drain Project, Lower Rio Grande 
Basin, Texas.
  Subsection 201(b) states that the Corps is to consider any study 
carried out by the Corps for Port Arthur and Orange County, Texas, 
flood control project, to be a continuation of the study authorized 
under Sabine Pass to Galveston Bay, Texas. While subsection (a) 
explicitly authorizes a study for Port Arthur and Orange County, Texas, 
the Managers intend that nothing in subsection 201(b) will slow down 
the construction of the project for Sabine Pass to Galveston Bay, 
Texas.
  Section 213 directs the Corps to conduct a comprehensive study of the 
Lower Mississippi River. The Managers note that the Mississippi River 
has been at flood stage at record length and frequency in recent years. 
The Managers intend this study to provide reconsideration of the 
operations of existing assets by operating structures throughout the 
Lower Mississippi River holistically and, potentially, for multiple 
purposes per asset, as well as identifying new projects and utilizing 
existing Federal and non-Federal assets, such as river reintroduction 
projects, new or existing reservoirs, water supply projects, or other 
measures. In completing the study, the Managers intend for the Corps to 
collaborate with all levels of government, as well as with non-
governmental entities to improve the management of one of the largest 
watersheds in the world.
  Section 216 includes studies for the Lower and Upper Missouri River. 
With a General Investigations study of the Lower Missouri River Basin 
already underway, the Managers intend this section to build off this 
existing authority and to expeditiously review both a comprehensive 
plan and site-specific solutions to combat flooding in communities 
across the Lower Missouri River Basin. While this Act specifically and 
preemptively waives 3x3x3 requirements, the Managers strongly encourage 
the Corps to complete its studies as expeditiously as possible.
  Section 222 requires the Corps to issue an annual report that 
identifies all authorized studies or projects meeting certain criteria, 
including local support and the Corps' capability for executing the 
work. The Managers expect this annual report will provide greater 
transparency in the Administration's development of both its annual 
budget and its project selection process.
  In completing this report, the Corps must describe specific benefits 
for each authorized study and authorized water resources development 
project included in the annual report. This section also requires the 
Secretary to include an appendix in the annual report that lists any 
submitted proposals that were not included in the annual report and a 
description of why the Corps determined that those proposals did not 
meet the criteria for inclusion. The Corps shall also make the annual 
report to Congress publicly available on the internet and is directed 
to submit the report to Congress along with its annual report pursuant 
to section 7001 of Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014, 
P.L. 113-121 (WRRDA 2014).
  The Managers intend for the Corps to expeditiously develop 
implementation guidance for the provisions contained in WRDA 2020, as 
well as provisions from prior WRDAs that have yet to be developed. 
Section 223 of WRDA 2020 directs the Corps to expeditiously complete 
these actions, and consistent with section 1105 of WRDA 2018, to 
involve stakeholders in the development of guidance materials. In 
addition, the Managers direct the Secretary to directly engage and 
consult with, and provide briefings for, the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure and the Committee on Environment on 
Public Works on these actions.
  Section 229 amends section 1104(b) of WRDA 2018 to require that the 
Corps provide the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the 
Senate and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the 
House of Representatives an annual written update on the Corps' 
implementation of non-Federal outreach requirements associated with 
development of section 7001 annual reports. This section also requires 
that the Corps issue guidance for the uniform implementation of the 
7001 process by Corps districts and ensure annual compliance with that 
guidance. The Managers continue to be concerned with the agency's 
ability to consistently implement these policies nationwide.
  Section 310 clarifies that any Federal funds used to carry out 
construction of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System 
(MKARNS) are considered as initiating construction of the project such 
that future funds will not require a new start designation. With 
initial construction of the MKARNS completed 50 years ago, 
modernization of the entire channel was authorized by Congress in 2003 
and funds were subsequently provided in 2004. Since that time, the 12-
foot deepening project has stalled, but this section will allow 
construction of the project to resume without the requirement to obtain 
a New Start, a requirement not contemplated when the deepening project 
was authorized and funded. This section will ensure the project is 
formally considered as a project resumption for budgetary and 
appropriations purposes.
  Section 348 allows a local government entity, such as a city, with 
existing water supply storage in a Federal or non-Federal hydropower 
lake within the Arkansas Basin, to access that water supply at a cost 
of not more than 110 percent of initial principal cost for the acre-
feet sought for a new covered contract for that lake. This section 
makes clear that the Managers do not expect the Corps to undertake any 
formal reallocation process. Rather, the Managers expect that the Corps 
will work only with a local government entity that currently holds the 
rights to access water supply storage.
  Section 351 allows the Corps, at the request of a non-Federal 
interest, to renegotiate the terms and conditions of deferred payment 
agreements under Section 103(k) of WRDA 1986 and to accept, without 
interest, the pre-payment of non-Federal contributions. The Managers 
anticipate that the non-Federal sponsors of the West Bank and Vicinity, 
Lake

[[Page H6980]]

Pontchartrain and Vicinity, and Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Damage 
Reduction Projects are expected to seek relief under this section in 
order to continue large-scale investments to support resiliency in both 
their infrastructure and regional ecosystems.
  Section 401 authorizes 46 Chief's Reports, including a project for 
navigation improvements for the Port of Nome in Nome, Alaska. Nome will 
be America's first Arctic deep draft port, enhancing our strategic and 
economic competitiveness in the Arctic region. The Managers note the 
complementary and important role that modest improvements at Port 
Clarence/Point Spencer can play relative to the project at Nome, 
Alaska, and for safe Arctic transportation generally, and therefore, 
the Managers encourage the Corps of Engineers to expedite its 
consideration of the use of Section 107 Continuing Authorities Program 
funding to help install and make operational the two 30-ton and one 60-
ton industrial grade buoy systems at Port Clarence to serve maritime 
safety needs for the Bering Strait as well as the greater Arctic 
region. The Managers also encourage the potential use of unobligated 
prior-year funds to facilitate the implementation of the mooring buoy 
project as soon as possible and note that the Corps was instrumental in 
completing a similar project for the placement and use of commercial-
grade mooring buoys in the Columbia River.
  Various sections under Title 5 of WRDA 2020 protect American assets 
and resources by working to prevent the spread and promote the 
eradication of certain invasive species. The Managers intend that work 
conducted as a result of this Title remain within the jurisdiction of 
the involved agencies and encourage a collaborative approach to 
solutions that allows each agency to utilize its expertise. 
Specifically, under section 508, the Managers intend that, for those 
authorities which address murder hornets as an invasive species, the 
Department of the Interior shall work in conjunction with the 
Department of Agriculture.
  The Managers believe lessees of recreational and other facilities at 
water resource development projects should have more predictability and 
stability with regard to their respective lease agreements with the 
Corps. The Managers are, in conjunction with enactment of WRDA 2020, 
requesting the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) to analyze 
Corps of Engineers policies related to the length of commercial 
concessionaire contracts. In the interim, the Managers believe that the 
Corps should consider the use of concessionaire lease agreements for a 
period of not less than 25 years and not more than 50 years, unless 
otherwise agreed to by the lessee. This effective tool will provide 
greater predictability and stability in the use of Corps lands by the 
lessee.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

                                         House of Representatives,


                               Committee on Natural Resources,

                                 Washington, DC, December 4, 2020.
     Hon. Peter A. DeFazio,
     Chair, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Chair DeFazio: In recognition of the goal of 
     expediting consideration of S. 1811, ``A bill to make 
     technical corrections to the America's Water Infrastructure 
     Act of 2018, and for other purposes'' the Committee on 
     Natural Resources agrees to waive formal consideration of the 
     bill as to provisions that fall within the Rule X 
     jurisdiction of the Committee on Natural Resources.
       The Committee on Natural Resources takes this action with 
     the mutual understanding that, in doing so, we do not waive 
     any jurisdiction over the subject matter contained in this or 
     similar legislation, and that the Committee will be 
     appropriately consulted and involved as the bill or similar 
     legislation moves forward so that we may address any 
     remaining issues within our jurisdiction. Our Committee also 
     reserves the right to seek appointment of conferees to any 
     House-Senate conference involving this or similar 
     legislation.
       Thank you for agreeing to include our exchange of letters 
     in the Congressional Record. I appreciate your cooperation 
     regarding this legislation and look forward to continuing to 
     work with you as this measure moves through the legislative 
     process.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Raul M. Grijalva,
     Chair, House Natural Resources Committee.
                                  ____

         Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure,


                                 U.S. House of Representatives

                                 Washington, DC, December 4, 2020.
     Hon. Raul Grijalva,
     Chair, Committee on Natural Resources,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Chair Grijalva: Thank you for your letter regarding S. 
     1811, A bill to make technical corrections to the America's 
     Water Infrastructure Act of 2018, and for other purposes. I 
     appreciate your decision to waive formal consideration of the 
     bill.
       I agree that the Committee on Natural Resources has valid 
     jurisdictional claims to certain provisions in this important 
     legislation, and I further agree that by forgoing formal 
     consideration of the bill, the Committee on Natural Resources 
     is not waiving any jurisdiction over any relevant subject 
     matter. Additionally, I will support the appointment of 
     conferees from the Committee on Natural Resources should a 
     House-Senate conference be convened on this legislation. 
     Finally, this exchange of letters will be included in the 
     Congressional Record when the bill is considered on the 
     floor.
       Thank you again, and I look forward to continuing to work 
     collaboratively with the Committee on Natural Resources on 
     this important issue.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Peter A. DeFazio,
                                                            Chair.

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Madam Speaker, some of what I say today is going to be a little 
redundant, but I think it does bear repeating.
  I do stand here in strong support of the amended version of S. 1811, 
which is the Water Resources Development Act 2020 or WRDA. The bill 
represents a bipartisan, bicameral compromise. It renews our commitment 
to regularly consider water resources infrastructure legislation.
  And I remind my House colleagues and reiterate what the chairman 
said, we unanimously passed a bipartisan WRDA bill out of the Committee 
on Transportation and Infrastructure, and we unanimously passed it on 
the floor of the House in July. And now, 5 months later, we hope to do 
the very same thing after successfully negotiating with the Senate.
  Madam Speaker, WRDA 2020 authorizes--and, again, as has been pointed 
out--60 critical water resource projects. This is the most 
authorizations in recent history. These projects are going to 
strengthen our global competitiveness, they are going to grow the 
economy, they are going to provide flood protection for our 
communities, they are going to safeguard the environment, and create 
jobs.
  Additionally, WRDA is fiscally responsible and deauthorizes old 
projects to fully offset new authorizations. It advances inland 
waterway improvements by adjusting the Inland Waterways Trust Fund 
cost-share; it includes important considerations and set-asides for 
rural communities; and it provides relief to communities, such as those 
in my home State of Missouri that have experienced repetitive losses as 
a result of flood events.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Chairman DeFazio, Chair Napolitano, Ranking 
Member Westerman, and committee members and staff on both sides for 
their efforts in this very important piece of legislation.
  On the Republican staff, I particularly want to thank the 
Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment staff: Ian Bennitt, Jon 
Pawlow, and Victor Sarmiento. These folks have worked over weekends, 
they have worked over the recent holidays to help ensure that our 
priorities were intact, and we could move this bill prior to the end of 
Congress--at least this year's Congress.
  I thank my general counsel, Corey Cooke, Tara Hupman, Tyler 
Micheletti, Justin Harclerode, Abby Camp, Nick Christensen, Jack Ruddy, 
and my full committee staff director, Paul Sass, for their hard work on 
this and getting it done.
  Madam Speaker, I strongly urge my colleagues to support this bill, S. 
1811, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I include in the Record a list of the 
organizations supporting S. 1811, the Water Resources Development Act 
of 2020.

  Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
Ohio (Ms. Kaptur), the chair of the Energy and Water Development, and 
Related Agencies.
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I thank Chair DeFazio.
  Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Water Resources 
Development Act.
  There is no question that Chairman DeFazio and Chairwoman Napolitano 
have worked tirelessly over the last year--and probably longer--to get 
this bill to the finish line. This bill delivers for our Nation's 
crumbling water infrastructure.
  Madam Speaker, S. 1811 enjoys broad bipartisan support because it 
pays attention to the unique and particular needs of the different 
regions of our diverse Nation. The package includes provisions to 
protect 90 percent of North America's surface fresh water on our Great 
Lakes. This includes a specific authorization of the invasive species 
control system at Brandon Road Lock and Dam. The project serves a 
unique national role, and once completed, will serve as a bulwark for 
preventing Asian carp and other invasive species from threatening the 
fragile ecosystem of our Great Lakes and its $7 billion fishery.
  Madam Speaker, today's authorization marks an important milestone for 
protecting the Great Lakes recreational fishing industry. Our region 
has advocated to include this authorization for nearly a decade. And 
since 2010, when Congress authorized the Great Lakes Interbasin Study, 
our delegation searched for a long-term and basin-wide solution to the 
predatory Asian carp.
  I commend the committee for embedding resiliency into the Corps 
planning processes and for investing to rebuild and advance the 
Nation's water infrastructure for the 21st century.
  Finally, the bill adds the words ``Great Lakes'' to the name of the 
Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, and I look forward to 
working with my colleagues to shine a light on the Seaway's unique role 
in unleashing the economic potential of the region and the Nation.
  President Dwight David Eisenhower understood that this seaway is the 
shortest distance to Europe, and we must remember that today.
  Madam Speaker, I urge support for this bipartisan bill.

                              {time}  1415

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the 
gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Westerman), the ranking member of the 
Subcommittee on Water Resources and the Environment.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I thank the distinguished ranking 
member from Missouri for his leadership on continuing the biennial 
consideration for the Water Resources Development Act.
  Today, I rise in strong support of S. 1811, the Water Resources 
Development Act of 2020. WRDA 2020 will strengthen our Nation's ability 
to withstand severe weather and flood events, authorize the 
construction of key water infrastructure projects throughout the 
Nation, create jobs here at home, and directly contribute to our 
economic growth and competitiveness.
  All 60 project authorizations contained in WRDA 2020 were proposed by 
non-Federal sponsors and underwent a rigorous planning process before 
congressional review.
  This WRDA bill focuses on building more resilient infrastructure, 
increasing rural flood protection, addressing the maintenance backlog 
at our Nation's ports and harbors, and prioritizing our Nation's inland 
waterways.
  The House passed WRDA by voice vote nearly 5 months ago, continuing 
the strong bipartisan tradition that WRDA enjoys.
  After negotiations with the Senate, I am glad to support this 
compromise bill, which contains nearly all of our Chamber's priorities.
  S. 1811 is fiscally responsible, with new project authorizations 
fully offset by deauthorizations of projects that are outdated or no 
longer viable.
  Again, I want to stress that this legislation represents the 
continuing commitment to regular order for consideration of water 
resources projects. Regularly overseeing the improvement of our 
Nation's infrastructure is one of the most important responsibilities 
of Congress.
  This is a good, commonsense, and bipartisan bill. I want to recognize 
the great work of our subcommittee staff, Ian, John, and Victor. I also 
want to thank Chairman DeFazio and Chairman Napolitano for their 
partnership in its creation.
  I urge all Members to support S. 1811.
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
the Virgin Islands (Ms. Plaskett).
  Ms. PLASKETT. Madam Speaker, I extend my congratulations to the 
committee leaders for successfully reaching an agreement with the 
Senate on a final Water Resources Development Act for 2020. This is a 
wonderful bill.
  We have $10 billion in new water infrastructure authorizations in 
this bill. It authorizes all of the pending Chief's reports. That 
includes two very important flood risk management projects in my 
district, which has been severely harmed by persistent flooding in 
recent years, as evidenced by the damage from Hurricanes Irma and 
Maria.
  I would like to take this opportunity to remind the Army Corps that 
it may fund the construction of these projects out of remaining funds 
provided in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 and that construction of 
such projects in the Virgin Islands, as well as in Puerto Rico, with 
funds provided under that act shall be conducted at full Federal 
expense.
  This bill also contains a long-sought reauthorization of projects for 
navigation in the harbors of St. Thomas and Christiansted, St. Croix. 
The reauthorization of these projects for navigation will provide the 
harbors access to Federal resources for maintenance dredging and 
improvements to navigational systems, which will allow them to 
accommodate more and larger cruise ships over the long term, thereby 
better competing in a competitive Caribbean market. This is a very 
strong bill for the ports and harbors of the United States.
  Lastly, this bill is probably the most progressive bill in a 
generation in terms of directing the Army Corps toward greater 
resiliency of future water resources development projects. It includes 
several provisions to modernize how the Corps develops future projects 
to make sure that it is better able to deal with issues of climate 
change and extreme wet weather events.
  All in all, this is a significant investment in water resources 
infrastructure, and I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin).
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, if southeast Texas is going to continue as 
the global leader in creating reliable, affordable energy, we must 
modernize and improve our water infrastructure.
  My district has four ports, including the main terminal of the Port 
of Houston, as well as the Houston Ship Channel, which is the busiest 
U.S. deep-draft waterway and the top exporting port in the Nation.
  The provisions of 2020's WRDA to dredge, widen, and improve two-way 
traffic on the Houston Ship Channel is a product of hard work and 
collaboration over the last several years. This major accomplishment is 
the cornerstone for a more efficient, safe, and productive waterway for 
everyone.
  However, I recognize that there is still more work to be done. It is 
not an exaggeration to say that by spending a million dollars today on 
hurricane and flood prevention infrastructure, we are saving a billion 
dollars in damages

[[Page H6982]]

down the road from another storm like Hurricane Harvey.
  Thankfully, this bill contains numerous provisions for me and my 
colleagues on both sides of the aisle that address these critical 
needs.
  I wish to thank Ranking Member Graves as well as Chairman DeFazio, 
Mr. Westerman, and Mrs. Napolitano. Passing legislation like this one 
today will bring great benefit to southeast Texas and the entire 
country.
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Cuellar).
  Mr. CUELLAR. Madam Speaker, I want to thank Chairman DeFazio for his 
leadership, his staff for working hard on this particular bill, and the 
ranking member and his staff for doing this.

  I want to talk about one project that got added, and that is the 
Chacon Creek in Laredo, Texas. This is a project that we have been 
working on for many years with the city of Laredo. Now, this will 
provide the flood control, the work that we need to do, that starts off 
from Lake Casa Blanca all the way to the Rio Grande, miles of area that 
will provide not only for the environment but also for the quality of 
life for Laredo.
  I want to thank Chairman DeFazio so much for his great work, and we 
appreciate him in Laredo, Texas.
  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Rouzer).
  Mr. ROUZER. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the Water Resources 
Development Act of 2020.
  Our Nation's inlets, waterways, harbors, ports, and beaches are 
critical components of our national infrastructure, supporting 
countless local economies all across the country.
  My district, which includes the southern portion of the North 
Carolina coast, relies on this biennial, bipartisan bill to maintain 
and improve our resource projects.
  I would like to thank the Army Corps of Engineers for their work in 
support of the coastal storm damage reduction projects at Wrightsville 
Beach, as well as Carolina and Kure Beaches. Their team and mine work 
together constantly to ensure that the right decisions are made and 
executed.
  I want to especially thank the chairman and the ranking member for 
their work and commitment to keep this legislation a good, bipartisan 
product of the committee. I particularly appreciate their willingness 
to work with me to address the needs of our coastal communities and the 
infrastructure so important to North Carolina's economy. I also want to 
thank the staff of the majority and minority for the many hours they 
have worked to make this day possible.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the bill.
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Mast).
  Mr. MAST. Madam Speaker, I thank Ranking Member Graves and Chairman 
DeFazio for their work and the committee staff for their work on this 
piece of legislation.
  Water is the lifeblood of Florida, and there is not a more important 
piece of legislation to our State or to our community, my community 
specifically, because of the work that this bill does.
  The Water Resources Development Act demands that the Army Corps of 
Engineers rewrite protocols that they have that allow them to poison my 
community, demands that they accelerate construction of the hugely 
important EAA Reservoir, demands that they move more water into 
Florida's Everglades where it is needed because they are dying because 
of lack of water.
  This piece of legislation is vital to our State. I would absolutely 
argue there is nothing more important to our State, and I couldn't 
thank enough the chairman, the ranking member, and all the staff for 
all of their work on this very important piece of legislation.
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Puerto Rico (Miss Gonzalez-Colon).
  Miss GONZALEZ-COLON of Puerto Rico. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong 
support of WRDA 2020.
  This bill increases the authorized cost of the Cano Martin Pena 
Ecosystem Restoration Project, representing the fully funded cost 
estimate at fiscal year 2020 levels. This project was authorized in 
2007, prior to completing the feasibility phase and without updated 
costs. That is the reason it is so important for me. This change 
reflects the reality of costs and supports the project moving forward.
  This bill also authorizes flood risk management projects for Rio 
Culebrinas, Rio Guayanilla, and Rio Grande de Manati in the 
municipalities of Aguada, Aguadilla, Guayanilla, and Ciales. 
Authorization is a firm step in the right direction as we work with 
stakeholders to restore these rivers and improve flood protection and 
the health and economic opportunities of island residents.
  I would like to thank Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves and 
their staff for working alongside my office to secure those provisions.
  I also want to thank them for including the current mapping of all 
coasts that are experiencing rapid change. That means that Alaska, 
Hawaii, and many of the territories are going to be included in that 
provision.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of the bill.
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. Zeldin).
  Mr. ZELDIN. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of this measure, 
which prioritizes six key projects for New York's First Congressional 
District, a district almost completely surrounded by water.
  On the east end of Long Island, we have a unique responsibility to 
safeguard our local waterways, from bolstering our local maritime 
infrastructure to managing future storm risks.
  Working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and the Army 
Corps team at its New York district office, this bill prioritizes local 
projects that are vital to my congressional district.
  The Fire Island to Montauk Point project includes essential dredging 
and shoreline projects over 83 miles of coastline. Coastal storm risk 
management for Hashamomuck Cove in Southold is included, where, right 
now, local residents, businesses, and first responders are paralyzed 
even during a severe thunderstorm.
  Additionally, this legislation authorizes a feasibility study for a 
project at Wading River Creek in Riverhead and expedites feasibility 
studies for projects at Reel Point Preserve and Shelter Island, 
Goldsmith Inlet in Southold, and Lake Montauk Harbor in Montauk.
  Continuing to safeguard and invest in our maritime infrastructure 
will help preserve Long Island's way of life for generations to come.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and 
I thank the chair and ranking member for their leadership in making 
this a reality.
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. Jacobs).
  Mr. JACOBS. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the Water Resources 
Development Act, which is critical to districts with significant 
shorelines, like mine.
  I am especially pleased to see the Great Lakes Coastal Resiliency 
Study included in this bill. High water levels on Lake Erie, and 
especially on Lake Ontario, are a major concern to communities in our 
region. Homeowners and business owners along Lake Ontario have suffered 
significant flooding and devastating property damage over the last few 
years. This study will inform those projects and policies that will 
mitigate high water levels and, hopefully, prevent future flooding of 
the kind suffered recently.
  I would also like to thank our leaders in the House, Ranking Member 
Sam Graves and Chairman Peter DeFazio, for the bipartisan work they 
have done on this legislation. The bipartisan work in the committee on 
WRDA is always welcome and a strong example of the way business can be 
conducted here.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of S. 1811.

                              {time}  1430

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Rodney Davis).
  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I thank my good friend, 
the ranking member. I didn't realize I was delaying his closing 
statement. I am interested in hearing it, too.
  And then we are going to compare beards together after this; right? I 
am going to lose, I know, because he is the ranking member. That is 
what happens.
  Madam Speaker, I do want to say a heartfelt thank-you and 
congratulations to Ranking Member Graves. This is a testament to his 
leadership for our side on this committee that we have come here to see 
such bipartisanship when it comes to the Water Resources Development 
Act.
  Madam Speaker, I do also want to thank Chairman DeFazio for his hard 
work. This is something that we have seen over my time in Congress. My 
first term, I was blessed enough to be appointed to the conference 
committee that got us on track for getting WRDA together on a biennial 
process.
  Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves, these are the guys who 
helped lead the teams to put this successful effort together.
  And the chairman, I am sure, is probably surprised. I haven't been 
one to stand up and talk about bipartisanship in this Congress as much 
as I would have liked, but today is that day to celebrate, and he needs 
to be commended for his leadership, and I am excited that we see this 
success when it comes to WRDA.
  This legislation is important to my district because I represent the 
Illinois and Mississippi waterways, the navigation projects that make 
sure that global commerce gets from my district out into the global 
marketplace.
  Without proper policies governing the Corps of Engineers and projects 
that are so important to my district, we wouldn't be able to be as 
successful, economically. This is the reason why I am so excited that 
we see this bipartisan effort.
  Madam Speaker, I urge a hearty ``yes'' vote and passage on this bill, 
and I thank every one of my colleagues who helped get us to this point. 
Madam Speaker, I certainly look forward to an overwhelming vote in the 
House today or later this week.
  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Madam Speaker, in closing, let me note that WRDA 2020 will make 
America more competitive, grow jobs, foster a more robust economy, and, 
very importantly, it is going to protect our communities for years to 
come.
  We passed a very similar bill by voice vote earlier this year, and 
this version reflects negotiations with the Senate that successfully 
maintained those strong principles and priorities from the House bill.
  Madam Speaker, I would just like to say, as well, that it has been a 
pleasure working with Chairman DeFazio and his staff in this process, 
and this is the way that the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure usually works; and when it does work this way, we 
produce really good products.
  This is a good piece of legislation, and, hopefully, we will see much 
more of that in the future. I know I am committed to it, and I think it 
makes a big difference.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all Members to join me in supporting this 
bipartisan legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Madam Speaker, as has been said and doesn't need to be repeated, this 
is a fully bipartisan bill, and it does make essential investments in 
water infrastructure that will impact virtually every State and 
territory of the United States of America.
  As a great maritime nation, we can't afford not to make these 
investments; and hopefully it will be added, without change, to the 
omnibus year-end deal, or the Senate could perhaps take it up under 
unanimous consent since I don't think anyone would object to it over 
there. One way or another, hopefully, it will get done.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to be more specific in thanking staff for 
this legislation. There was quite a lengthy negotiation.
  The Senate never individually passed the bill. We had to negotiate 
the whole bill with the Senate, and Ryan Seiger led the team--he did a 
great job--Camille Touton, Navis Bermudez, and Alexa Williams; and on 
the Republican side, Ian Bennitt, Jon Pawlow, and Victor Sarmiento.
  Then the unseen heroes behind all the good work here in the House are 
those who work in the Office of Legislative Counsel, and too often we 
overlook how critical they are to writing good legislation.
  Sometimes I am amazed at the things that are introduced and that are 
gibberish, to put it mildly. Kakuti Lin and all her colleagues, thank 
you very much for your tremendous work on this, and it will be a great 
benefit to the Nation.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of S 
1811, the Water Resources Development Act. I would like to thank 
Chairman DeFazio and my fellow colleagues on the House Transportation 
and Infrastructure Committee, along with my colleagues in the Senate, 
for their diligent work to produce this much needed water resources 
bill. Everyone is the U.S. is impacted by the need for clean water and 
I believe this bill takes a giant step forward to ensuring this becomes 
a reality for every American.
  Within my district, The City of Dallas is appreciative to the U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for their funding of the Dallas Flood 
way, Dallas Flood way Extension flood risk management projects and 
Lewisville Dam repairs and their continued efforts to complete these 
projects quickly. I look forward to continuing to hear good reports on 
the progress of these projects. I am pleased that the Corp is moving 
forward with these projects.
  Please allow me to note that it is helpful for the Corps to accept 
input from non-federal sponsors in the development of WRDA guidance. 
The Corps, working with local non-federal sponsors instead of 
developing guidance independently, will result in more resilient 
projects with multiple benefits. The role of resiliency in the 
construction, operation and maintenance of projects carried out by the 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) must continue to be a priority.
  The Dallas area falls within the Southwestern Division of the Army 
Corps of Engineers. Flooding and flood control continue to be issues 
that are ever-present on the minds of residents along the Trinity 
River. I have held several meetings on flooding in the Dallas area to 
address this issue and hope to continue to work with the Corp to combat 
flooding in Dallas.
  Other parts of North Texas have also benefited from projects included 
in previous versions of WRDA legislation. The projects addressing pump 
stations and levy heights in Dallas, along with bridge projects in Ft. 
Worth would not be where they are today without the Corps and this 
legislation.
  Madam Speaker, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is growing at a quite 
rapid pace and this updated legislation will help to provide adequate 
water and wastewater infrastructure to meet the demands, given the 
rapid pace of growth and development in our area. Furthermore, the bill 
will help in addressing maintenance needs, replacing aging 
infrastructure, and help in accounting for human behavior in all 
aspects of our water system--from sewer overflows, to promoting water 
conservation through drought tolerant outdoor landscaping.
  Lastly, I want to thank the committee for working with me to include 
language in the bill regarding the embankment of Lake Waco, on which 
Lake Shore Drive is located, so that we may keep the public safe from 
danger. We were able to work with the Senate on language that was 
direct and clear. It is very encouraging to know that we can continue 
to work in a bipartisan way to work with the committee to ensure that 
Lakeshore Drive is not a safety hazard.
  Madam Speaker, the projects I just mentioned are a tiny piece of the 
multitude of projects the Army Corps of Engineers works on to help 
address the water needs of the United States and its residents. Every 
American is impacted by this legislation and I urge my colleagues to 
support it.
  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of S. 1811, 
the Water Resources Development Act of 2020. Today's vote is on the 
bipartisan, bicameral WRDA agreement by House and Senate Committee 
leaders. I want to particularly thank Chairman DeFazio, Ranking Member 
Graves, Subcommittee Ranking Member Westerman and the Members of the 
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee for their important work 
over the past 2 years on this bill.
  The Water Resources Development Act is our legislative commitment to 
investing in

[[Page H6984]]

Corps projects that help to protect our communities from flooding 
events, restore our environment and ecosystems, and keep our nation's 
competitiveness by investing in our ports and harbors.
  The projects considered in this legislation are truly from Sea to 
Shining Sea--from the Unalaska (Dutch Harbor) Project in Alaska, to the 
Yuba River Ecosystem Restoration in California, the Matagorda Ship 
Channel project in Texas, to the New York and New Jersey Anchorages.
  Through biennial enactment of WRDA legislation, the Congress has 
addressed local, regional, and national needs through authorization of 
new Corps projects, studies, and policies that benefit every corner of 
the nation. WRDA 2020 is no exception.
  I would particularly like to recognize Chairman DeFazio for his 
continued efforts to unlock the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund and his 
partnership in ensuring that all ports receive the tools they need in 
the future.
  My region is home to the largest ports in the nation, the Port of Los 
Angeles and the Port of Long Beach. These ports handle over 40 percent 
of the exports and imports into the United States. Los Angeles and Long 
Beach have invested billions of dollars of their own money to upgrade 
their infrastructure for the benefit of the entire nation. But the 
success of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are only as strong 
as their partnership with the federal government.
  As part of this legislation, donor ports like the Ports of Los 
Angeles and Long Beach will benefit from a greater share of the Harbor 
Maintenance Trust Fund. Expanded in-water uses that are crucial to the 
navigation of the federal channel are now eligible. Seismic impacts 
will also be considered as part of the benefit-cost ratio for 
navigation projects.
  I am also proud of the provisions in WRDA that look to study water 
supply as a primary purpose of the Corps. We in the West are in a 
continuous fight against drought, and we have remarkable Corps 
reservoirs that were built for flood control but can be used more 
effectively for local water supply. The Corps is adapting to these 
local needs in the West, and this bill will give the Corps more ability 
and focus on addressing long-term water reliability of arid 
communities.
  The bill also includes important assistance to socio-economically 
disadvantaged urban and rural areas by requiring the Corps to work more 
directly with local leaders and residents on Corps projects and provide 
positive impacts to these communities. This will build long-term 
resiliency for economic development, environmental and health 
improvements, and clean and safe water resource projects.
  Lastly, this bill includes language necessary for my district and 
wildfire prone regions of the country to improve efforts by the Corps 
to remove unauthorized, human-made flammable equipment and materials 
from Corps property. This year there was an illegal fire on Corps 
property in my district that led to a major wildfire evacuating 
hundreds of residents and coming close to damaging property and harming 
our community. The language in this bill, in addition to efforts to 
increase Corps funding, will go a long way to helping the Corps remove 
these fire hazards.
  I would like to thank the many people who have helped this bill 
become a reality: Subcommittee Vice Chair Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, for 
her leadership on WRDA and especially all things Florida.
  Thank you to the leadership at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, ASA 
James, General Spellmon, Retired General Semonite, Al Lee and the 
Senior Executive Service team, and Corps Counsel. I would especially 
like to thank Corps Futures Team--David Wethington, Laura Powell, and 
Andrea Busch, for their time and partnership in answering our questions 
to the nearly 1,100 submissions we received for WRDA 2020.
  I am very fortunate to have some of the best water and port leaders 
in the country in my district and Southern California who provided 
valuable input for this bill, including Col. Julie Balten, Col. Aaron 
Barta and David Van Dorpe of the Los Angeles District, Los Angeles 
County Supervisor Hilda Solis, Los Angeles County Public Works Director 
Mark Pestrella, Los Angeles City Mayor Eric Garcetti, Los Angeles Port 
Director Gene Seroka, Long Beach Port Director Mario Cordero, 
Metropolitan Water District Board Chair Gloria Grey, and San Gabriel 
Basin Watermaster Tony Zampiello.
  Madam Speaker, I would particularly like to thank the Subcommittee 
Ranking Member Bruce Westerman for his friendship and collegiality 
through the hearings, meetings and roundtables which led to this 
bipartisan accomplishment. And most importantly, I would like to thank 
the incredible water subcommittee staff, including Alexa Williams, 
Camille Touton, Navis Bermudez, Ryan Seiger, Victor Sarmiento, Jon 
Pawlow, and Ian Bennitt.
  I urge my colleagues to support WRDA 2020.
  Mr. GARAMENDI. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of the final 
``Water Resources Development Act of 2020'' (S. 1811). Working with 
other members of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, I 
am very pleased to reach agreement with the Senate on a truly 
bipartisan bill and the fourth biennial Water Resources Development Act 
(WRDA) to be passed by Congress since 2014.
  My Congressional district includes 200 miles of the Sacramento River 
and is adjacent to several major ports. WRDA 2020 includes key 
provisions for the California Delta and Central Valley to authorize and 
expedite construction of flood protection and aquatic ecosystem 
restoration projects, address harmful algal blooms, and give local 
agencies greater flexibility in using federal Army Corps funds to 
better meet local needs. Under Chairman DeFazio's leadership, the bill 
finally fixes the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund to ensure that regional 
dredging and navigation projects are fully funded.
  I secured Congressional authorization for the Delta Islands and 
Levees Ecosystem Restoration Project, Yuba River Ecosystem Restoration 
Project, and Sacramento Regional Groundwater Bank in WRDA 2020. These 
projects provide critical flood protection and make local communities 
across the Central Valley more resilient to climate change.
  I also secured deauthorization of the Sacramento Riverbed Gradient 
Restoration Facility and Western Pacific Interceptor Canal, returning 
these former Army Corps projects to full local control.
  WRDA 2020 also expedites completion of the Army Corps' feasibility 
studies needed for the San Francisco Bay to Stockton Navigation 
Improvement Project, Lower Cache Creek Flood Risk Management Project, 
and Sutter Bypass and Sacramento River Basin Floodplain Management 
Project. I look forward to securing Congressional authorization for 
these projects once the Army Corps completes the requisite feasibility 
studies.
  Working with Rep. Doris O. Matsui (CA-06), I secured inclusion of our 
``Yolo Bypass System Improvement Act'' in WRDA 2020 to improve 
coordinated planning for all restoration projects and federal 
permitting in the Yolo Bypass.
  Lastly, I am very pleased that the new Army Corps harmful algal bloom 
program established under WRDA 2020 includes the California Delta as a 
focus area. This will better protect the Delta's precious ecosystem 
from toxic algal blooms.
  The House report for WRDA 2020 includes my amendment directing the 
Army Corps to report to Congress on implementation of the Small 
Business Act across all the Corps' missions. This strengthens 
Congressional oversight over the Corps' contracting process and ensures 
that the Small Business Act is implemented fully in an equitably 
distributed manner, as intended by Congress.
  I want to extend a special appreciation to my colleague Rep. Grace F. 
Napolitano (CA-32), chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Water Resources 
and Environment, for her tireless work in this WRDA for the entire 
California delegation. WRDA 2020 ensures that Army Corps projects in 
California requiring earthquake-resistance and other seismic safety 
costs remain equally competitive for federal funding compared to 
projects in other states.
  I urge all Members of Congress to support this bipartisan WRDA 2020, 
which is expected to be signed into law this year. This two-year 
authorization bill provides the federal support and certainty needed to 
keep Army Corps projects across California on time and on budget.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Oregon (Mr. DeFazio) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, S. 1811, as amended.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the 
rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed.
  The title of the bill was amended so as to read: ``A bill to provide 
for improvements to the rivers and harbors of the United States, to 
provide for the conservation and development of water and related 
resources, and for other purposes.''.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
