From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov]
By Mr. CARPER (for himself and Mr. Graham):
S. 5185. A bill to amend the Coastal Barrier Resources Act to make
improvements to that Act, and for other purposes; to the Committee on
Environment and Public Works.
Mr. CARPER. Mr. President, today I am pleased to introduce along with
the Senator from South Carolina, Mr. Graham, the Strengthening Coastal
Communities Act of 2022.
The Strengthening Coastal Communities Act of 2022 amends the Coastal
Barrier Resources Act and codifies maps to update and add units to the
Coastal Barrier Resources System. Congress first passed the bipartisan
Coastal Barrier Resources Act in 1982, due in no small part to the hard
work of former Congressman Tom Evans from Delaware. Today, the Coastal
Barrier Resources System consists of 588 system units, which are areas
of low and undeveloped coastal land along the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico,
Great Lakes, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico coasts. There are
also 282 otherwise protected areas in the system, which are used
primarily for conservation and recreation purposes. Together, this is
3.5 million acres of land and associated aquatic habitat. These units
and areas are important not only because they protect habitat vital to
our Nation's wildlife but because conserving sensitive coastal habitats
also protects our coastal communities--our homes, businesses, and
infrastructure--from flooding.
The Strengthening Coastal Communities Act represents a proactive step
toward more resilient coastlines across our Nation. We need to
prioritize the protection of our coastlines ahead of the next storm
instead of in response to it. Doing so will make our coastal
communities better able to withstand extreme weather events in the face
of a changing climate.
The legislation I am introducing today would codify 195 updated or
new maps that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has transmitted to
Congress for the Coastal Barrier Resources System. This bill also
includes some minor amendments to the Coastal Barrier Resources Act to
improve Agency implementation of the Act. In addition, the bill
authorizes $5 million in appropriations annually for the Coastal
Barrier Resources Act for fiscal years 2023 through 2027. This increase
from the last appropriation authorization of $2 million is well-
justified by the long-term coastal resilience value generated by the
program. This program also saves taxpayer dollars by restricting the
use of Federal funding in the sensitive areas that comprise the Coast a
Barrier Resources System. This reauthorization has clear benefits for
our environment and economy--a win-win for Delaware and our Nation.
I look forward to working with my colleagues to enact this important
legislation this Congress. I ask unanimous consent that a copy of the
bill I am introducing today be printed in the Record following my
statement.
There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be
printed in the Record, as follows:
S. 5185
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled,
