                                _______
                                

   Mr. Barrasso, from the Committee on Environment and Public Works, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                         [To accompany S. 3591]

      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Environment and Public Works, to which was 
referred the bill (S. 3591) 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, to 
provide for water pollution control activities, and for other 
purposes, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon 
with an amendment in the nature of a substitute and recommends 
that the bill, as amended, do pass.

                    General Statement and Background

    America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2020 (AWIA 2020) 
primarily addresses the Civil Works program of the Army Corps 
of Engineers (Corps). The bill supports the nation's global 
economic competitiveness by authorizing the Corps to undertake 
projects, programs and initiatives in their Civil Works program 
relating to navigation, environment, flood risk management, 
hydropower, recreation, regulatory, emergency management, and 
water supply. AWIA 2020 also facilitates our nation's water 
infrastructure by creating and reauthorizing U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) water and wastewater programs under the 
Clean Water Act (CWA).
    A Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), in this case AWIA 
2020, is the authorizing legislation for the programs and 
projects of the Corps' Civil Works program. Ideally enacted 
every two years, such an act is the main vehicle for 
authorizing water projects to be studied, planned, and 
developed by the Corps. WRDAs typically include water resources 
projects with completed reports, modifications to existing 
Corps projects, study authorizations for new projects, and 
miscellaneous projects consistent with the Corps' programs that 
also demonstrate a federal interest. Activities fall within one 
or more of the Corps' eight Civil Works business lines, which 
include navigation, environment, flood risk management, 
hydropower, recreation, regulatory, emergency management, and 
water supply. In recent years, WRDAs have increasingly 
incorporated nature-based ``green'' infrastructure to solve 
problems, in addition to traditional hard infrastructure (also 
known as ``gray'' infrastructure).
    The Committee's reported legislation for AWIA 2020 includes 
provisions that will strengthen the United States' economic and 
national security, cut bureaucratic red tape, enable faster 
implementation of projects, increase water supply reliability, 
quality and quantity, promote assistance to disadvantaged 
communities, reduce emissions, improve resiliency, address the 
growing impacts of extreme weather events, and upgrade our 
nation's water and wastewater infrastructure. The bill is 
broken down into three titles:
    Title I of AWIA 2020 addresses water resources development 
projects within the Corps. Subtitle A includes a variety of 
sections pertaining to the Corps' Civil Works program, 
including among others, those to comprehensively study areas 
impacted by flooding in 2019, increase the ability of projects 
with traditionally low Benefit-to-Cost Ratios (BCR) to compete 
for funding, further regional sediment management activities, 
encourage the beneficial use of dredged material, and provide 
greater flexibility for third-party entities and non-federal 
sponsors relating to Corps projects.
    Subtitle B authorizes critical feasibility studies and 
reports to be conducted by the Secretary of the Army, which has 
oversight over the Corps. The Secretary, among other things, is 
also authorized to expedite applicable decision documents for 
specified projects, complete the review of specified 
submissions for consideration in the upcoming 7001 Report for 
2020, and provide technical assistance to a non-federal 
interest of described project proposals during the required 
Corps outreach under section 7001(b) of the Water Resources 
Reform and Development Act of 2014 (WRRDA 2014).
    Subtitle C deauthorizes projects, and parts of projects, 
that are no longer needed for a federal purpose, and prevents 
the deauthorization of an environmental infrastructure 
assistance project or program of the Corps until September 30, 
2024.
    Subtitle D authorizes thirty new projects and modifies 
existing projects based on reports submitted to Congress by the 
Secretary or the Chief of Engineers. These projects address all 
of the primary mission areas of the Corps, including: aquatic 
ecosystem restoration, flood risk management, hurricane and 
storm damage risk reduction, navigation and water supply. This 
subtitle also calls upon the Secretary of the Army to provide 
priority funding for and expedite the completion of specified 
projects.
    Subtitle E authorizes the Corps to address both new water 
supply programs and modifications to existing water supply 
storage programs, and to improve the management of water 
storage and reduce or prohibit specified related fees.
    Subtitle F helps the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) 
and the Corps to address new and existing invasive species 
management through technical and financial assistance, 
research, innovation, and partnerships between the federal 
government and other entities.
    Title II authorizes water and wastewater infrastructure 
programs under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also 
known as the Clean Water Act (CWA). These programs focus on 
financial opportunities, construction, technical assistance, 
resiliency and efficiency. This title reauthorizes and 
streamlines the Water Infrastructure and Finance Innovation Act 
loan program (WIFIA), reauthorizes existing grant programs, and 
establishes new grant programs. Specifically, this title 
reauthorizes the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund (CWSRF) 
for the first time since 1987. In addition, this title creates 
a new discretionary grant program based on the CWSRF eligible 
projects. This title also contains several provisions that 
focus on the critical need of technical assistance, on-site 
specialists and utility workers to help water systems achieve 
and maintain compliance. This title contains grant programs to 
assist small, rural, tribal and disadvantaged communities, 
facilitate water access, promote water efficiency and improve 
water system resiliency. This title also authorizes programs 
for water reuse, water supply, and stormwater collection.
    Title III contains several provisions regarding Tribes, 
regional restoration programs, studies and other miscellaneous 
items. This title includes reauthorizations and modifications 
to existing Tribal programs, such as reauthorizing the Indian 
Irrigation Fund and increasing the Tribal Partnership Program's 
authorization. This title also authorizes several regional 
restoration or recovery programs such as those at San Francisco 
Bay, the Great Lakes, Lake Tahoe and the Puget Sound. This 
title also includes grants to help ports reduce vessel 
emissions, and a requirement that EPA maintain and update an 
environmental justice mapping tool.
    The Committee believes that it is important to account for 
changing climate conditions in planning for resilience in 
congressionally authorized Corps studies and projects. The 
Corps should continue to work with other federal agencies, such 
as United States Geological Survey and National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration, to account for sea-level rise and 
climate-impacted considerations in plan formulation. Further, 
this Committee believes that efforts should continue to 
expedite the delivery of major infrastructure projects by 
reducing unnecessary and over-burdensome bureaucracy and 
redundancies, while still abiding by federal environmental 
protection laws. These projects are vital to public safety, as 
well as our nation's economic and national security.
    Further, the Committee believes that the Corps of Engineers 
has subsisted on programs that have historically been 
underfunded for decades by the OMB. The Committee believes that 
OMB should prioritize adequate annual funding for the Corps to 
mitigate the need for supplemental funding and to further 
reduce the backlog of authorized but incomplete or not started 
projects needed to protect our country.

                     Objectives of the Legislation

    The objectives of S. 3591 are to meet the nation's water 
infrastructure needs, including for navigation, flood risk 
management, and ecosystem restoration. It will help increase 
water supply and storage and fight invasive species, while also 
facilitating critical clean water and wastewater 
infrastructure.

                      Section-by-Section Analysis


Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents

    This section states that this Act may be cited as the 
``America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2020'' and contains the 
table of contents.

Sec. 2. Definition of Secretary

    This section states that in this Act, the term 
``Secretary'' means the Secretary of the Army.

                  TITLE I--WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT

                     Subtitle A--General Provisions


Sec. 1001. Upper and Lower Missouri River comprehensive flood 
        protection studies

    This section requires that the Secretary conduct two 
comprehensive studies: one on the Upper and one on the Lower 
Missouri River. The Secretary must submit one comprehensive 
strategy and report encompassing both to Congress on flood risk 
in areas affected by the severe flooding that occurred along 
the Missouri River in 2019. The study shall include 
recommendations on management plans and actions to be carried 
out by the responsible federal agencies; address whether 
changes are necessary to the general comprehensive plan for 
flood control in the Missouri River Basin; and address whether 
there are opportunities for increased non-federal management in 
the Missouri River Basin. The study shall also include 
recommendations for non-federal and federal action where 
appropriate, as well as follow-up studies for problem areas for 
which data or current technology does not allow for immediate 
solutions.
    This section authorizes $50 million in appropriations to 
carry out this section, to remain available until expended.

Sec. 1002. Great Lakes comprehensive flood protection study

    This section directs the Secretary to conduct a 
comprehensive study, and submit a report to Congress, on 
shoreline protection and resiliency in areas affected by 
flooding in 2019 due to high lake water levels along the Great 
Lakes.
    This section requires that the Secretary address whether 
changes are necessary to the management plan for the Great 
Lakes, including plans for individual lakes of the Great Lakes; 
address whether there are opportunities for increased non-
federal management in the Great Lakes; and include 
recommendations on management plans and actions to be carried 
out by the responsible federal agencies.
    This section authorizes $50 million in appropriations to 
carry out this section, to remain available until expended.

Sec. 1003. Additional studies under North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive 
        Study

    This section requires the Secretary to carry out a study to 
determine the feasibility of a hurricane and storm damage risk 
reduction project for any major metropolitan area 
geographically located within the study area identified in the 
North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study that was not included 
as a high-risk focus area identified in the initial study. This 
study is a continuation of the previously authorized 
comprehensive study.

Sec. 1004. Maintenance and construction of water resources development 
        projects by non-Federal interests

    This section makes a technical correction to section 204(c) 
of WRDA 1986 that was caused by enacting section 1153 of 
America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA 2018) (Public 
Law 115-270). Section 1153 was meant to allow a non-federal 
sponsor to advance projects more expeditiously using a 
streamlined agreement with the Corps.
    As written, the studies and engineering (i.e., technical 
assistance) portion of section 1153 of AWIA 2018 does not apply 
to any non-federal interest seeking federal assumption of 
maintenance under section 204(f) of WRDA 1986. The studies and 
engineering portion of section 1153 of AWIA 2018, as enacted, 
only applies to construction undertaken by a non-federal 
interest under subsection 204(b) of WRDA 1986. The intent of 
section 1153 of AWIA 2018 was to cover all non-federal interest 
work under section 204 of WRDA 1986, not just construction. 
This section makes that clarification.

Sec. 1005. Watercraft inspection stations

    This section makes a technical correction to section 1170 
of AWIA 2018. Section 1170 of AWIA 2018 directs the Secretary 
to establish, operate, and maintain new or existing watercraft 
inspection stations intended to prevent the spread of aquatic 
invasive species.
    Section 1170 of AWIA 2018 mistakenly referenced the 
``Arizona'' River Basin, instead of the ``Arkansas'' River 
Basin. This technical correction enacts the correct reference 
to the Arkansas River Basin.

Sec. 1006. Local government reservoir permit review

    This section makes a technical correction to section 1119 
of AWIA 2018. This section was meant to require that the 
Secretary expedite the review of any application from a local 
governmental entity to expand a reservoir to accommodate 
projected water supply needs of a city with a population of 
less than 80,000.
    Section 1119 of AWIA 2018 inadvertently included language 
limiting the expedited review to permits at reservoirs ``owned 
or operated by the Secretary [of the Army]''. This technical 
correction strikes that limitation so that local government 
permit applications at any reservoir are eligible for 
expediting.

Sec. 1007. Upper Mississippi River protection

    This section makes a technical correction to section 1225 
(``Upper Mississippi River protection'') of AWIA 2018. This 
section directs the Secretary to accept and expend funds to 
carry out the study that are contributed by a state or a 
political subdivision.
    While the body of this text references contributed funds, 
the statutory reference under the Act of October 15, 1940 (33 
U.S.C. 701h-1) is to ``advance funds'' authority. This 
technical correction will strike the reference to ``the Act of 
October 15, 1940'' and insert ``section 5 of the Act of June 
22, 1936'' to ensure that the textual reference to contributed 
funds and the citation are consistent with one another.

Sec. 1008. Beneficial use of dredged material

    This section makes a technical correction to section 1148 
of AWIA 2018. That section incorrectly states that the 
Secretary may ``grant'' a temporary easement to facilitate the 
placement of sediment if the Secretary determines it is in the 
interest of the United States.
    The Secretary does not ``grant'' easements for section 204 
beneficial use projects. Instead, the Secretary may approve a 
non-federal sponsor's plan to provide the necessary lands, 
easements, rights-of-way, relocations and disposal areas for a 
project. This technical correction strikes the reference to the 
Secretary ``granting'' a temporary easement for the placement 
of sediment. Instead, the amended legislative language will 
reference that the Secretary may ``approve'' the use of a 
temporary easement.

Sec. 1009. Klamath Basin Water Supply Enhancement Act of 2000 technical 
        corrections

    This section makes a technical correction to the Klamath 
Basin Water Supply Enhancement Act of 2000 (114 Stat. 2222; 132 
Stat. 3887). Amending section 4(b) regarding water activities 
and drought response will facilitate agreements between the 
Bureau of Reclamation and water supply contractors for 
assistance under the Klamath Basin Water Supply Enhancement 
Act.

Sec. 1010. Project modifications for improvement of environment

    This section extends the period for which the Secretary is 
to give priority to projects that restore degraded ecosystems 
through modification of existing flood risk management projects 
authorized under section 1135 of WRDA 1986 (33 U.S.C. 2309a) 
and located within the Upper Missouri River Basin until 
September 30, 2026.

Sec. 1011. Non-Federal implementation pilot program

    This section amends section 1043 of WRRDA 2014 (33 U.S.C. 
20 note; Public Law 113-121) to allow the Secretary to transfer 
funds to a non-federal entity to do work on feasibility studies 
and projects. It also extends the date of the ability to 
commence feasibility studies by non-federal interests from June 
10, 2019, to December 31, 2026. It also extends the associated 
$25 million authorization of appropriations per fiscal year for 
such feasibility studies through fiscal year 2026.
    In addition, this section extends the date of the ability 
to commence project implementation under subsection (b) by non-
federal interests from June 10, 2019, to December 31, 2026. It 
also lengthens the associated $25 million authorization of 
appropriations per fiscal year for such projects through fiscal 
year 2026.

Sec. 1012. Thin layer placement pilot program

    This section amends section 1122 of the Water 
Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act of 2016 (WIIN 
2016) (33 U.S.C. 2326 note; Public Law 114-322). It increases 
the number of authorized projects under the beneficial use of 
dredged material pilot program from 20 to 40 projects, and 
requires that ten of those projects must use thin layer 
placement of dredged fine and coarse grain sediment for the 
maintenance and restoration of wetlands.
    This section also revises the pilot program to terminate 
after 40 projects are completed.

Sec. 1013. Annual report to Congress on authorized studies and projects

    This section requires the Secretary to develop an annual 
report that identifies each authorized study or authorized 
water resource development project submitted by non-federal 
interests for consideration through the annual Energy & Water 
Development appropriations bill. Criteria for inclusion in the 
report include: projects that have been authorized by Congress; 
authorized studies and non-operations and maintenance projects 
for which the non-federal interest has entered into an 
appropriate agreement with the Corps; and demonstration of the 
legal and financial capability to satisfy the requirements of 
local cooperation for the study or project.
    The report must describe specified benefits for each 
authorized study and authorized water resources development 
project included in the annual report, as well as the name of 
the associated non-federal interest; the purpose of the 
authorized study or authorized water resources development 
project; an estimate, to the maximum extent practicable, of the 
federal, non-federal, and total costs of the authorized study 
or authorized water resources development project; and an 
estimate, to the maximum extent practicable, of the monetary 
and nonmonetary benefits of the authorized study or authorized 
water resources development project.
    This section requires the Secretary to include in the 
annual report an appendix listing the proposals submitted that 
were not included in the annual report and a description of why 
the Secretary determined that those proposals did not meet the 
criteria for inclusion. The Secretary shall also make the 
annual report to Congress publicly available on the internet.
    The Committee remains concerned that other annual reports 
from the Corps and OMB continue to be delayed, hindering the 
authorization process. To address this concern, the Committee 
has emphasized the requirement for the Corps and the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) to provide this report annually, on 
time, and consistent with criteria outlined in the bill.

Sec. 1014. Annual report to Congress on water resources infrastructure

    This section amends section 7001 of WRRDA 2014 (33 U.S.C. 
2282d) by giving the Secretary the option to look at regional 
and local benefits, in addition to benefits to the national 
economy.
    This section also eliminates the restriction on new 
environmental infrastructure assistance programs or projects 
from being included in the annual report.
    The Committee remains concerned that annual reports from 
the Corps and OMB continue to be delayed, hindering the 
authorization process, and further delaying important water 
infrastructure work for the country. To address this concern, 
the Committee has emphasized the requirement for the Corps and 
OMB to provide this report annually, on time, and consistent 
with criteria outlined in law.

Sec. 1015. Operation and maintenance

    This section amends section 204(f) of WRDA 1986 (33 U.S.C. 
2232(f)) to require that for a federally authorized harbor or 
inland harbor to have federal assumption of operation and 
maintenance of improvements thereto, a non-federal sponsor 
shall submit to the Secretary a report on the improvements 
carried out by the non-federal sponsor. This section clarifies 
that the report must include an economic justification for the 
improvements; details of the project improvement plan and 
design; proposed arrangements for the work to be performed; 
documents relating to any applicable permits required for the 
project improvements; and that the Secretary must make a 
determination within 180 days after the date on which the 
Secretary receives the report on the improvements.

Sec. 1016. Transparency and accountability in cost sharing for water 
        resources development projects

    This section amends section 1120 of AWIA 2018 (33 U.S.C. 
2315b). It requires the Secretary, in the case of a beach 
nourishment project for which funds in excess of the amount 
needed to complete the nourishment cycle in the current fiscal 
year have been contributed by a non-federal sponsor, to either 
transfer excess non-federal funds back to the non-federal 
sponsor upon its request; or to transfer the excess to pay the 
cost-share for other projects carried out by the Secretary for 
which the non-federal sponsor is the same.

Sec. 1017. Continuing authority programs

    This section establishes a cost-share waiver for ``small'' 
or ``disadvantaged'' communities seeking to carry out a project 
under a continuing authority program (CAP) with the Corps.
    The Secretary may apply the waiver to a maximum of 50 
projects in small communities and 50 projects in disadvantaged 
communities. No more than three projects in each category 
within any one Corps District can qualify for the waiver. This 
section also increases authorized annual appropriations for all 
CAP programs, and allows for a 20 percent federal funding limit 
overage, per project, on a case-by-case basis.

Sec. 1018. Shore damage prevention or mitigation

    This section amends section 111 of the River and Harbor Act 
of 1968 (33 U.S.C. 426i) by giving discretion to the Director 
of the USFWS to allow a non-federal interest to satisfy all or 
part of its cost-share for a shore damage or mitigation project 
by using funds from the USFWS.

Sec. 1019. Sediment management plan

    This section requires that within one year of enactment of 
this Act, the District Commander of each Corps District that 
carries out any dredging activity for navigation or other water 
resources development project purposes develop, at full federal 
expense, a five-year sediment management plan for submission to 
the Secretary. A District Commander must provide notice and an 
opportunity for public comment, as well as make the plans or 
revisions publicly available. The Secretary has to transmit the 
plan or revision to a plan, as applicable, to Congress.

Sec. 1020. Criteria for funding environmental infrastructure projects

    This section requires that the Secretary develop written 
criteria to rank environmental infrastructure projects for 
purposes of prioritizing funding. Subsection (a) requires a 
minimum criteria for all environmental infrastructure programs. 
Subsection (b) of this section authorizes a separate criteria 
for the environmental infrastructure projects that are 
authorized under section 219 of WRDA 1992 (106 Stat. 4835; 113 
Stat. 335).

Sec. 1021. Aging infrastructure

    This section authorizes the Secretary to enter into 
contracts with federal agencies and non-federal entities that 
own, operate, and maintain a water resources, water storage, or 
irrigation project for enhanced inspections of aging 
infrastructure. A non-federal entity that enters into such a 
contract for such inspections cannot be required to complete 
any recommended actions resulting from the enhanced inspections 
unless the Secretary determines that failure to do so would 
constitute a public safety risk.
    The Committee believes that aging infrastructure continues 
to be a problem in the United States. In 2019, a 102-year-old 
irrigation tunnel collapsed near Fort Laramie, Wyoming, causing 
a disruption of water supply to over 100,000 acres of land 
necessary for the livelihoods of both farmers and ranchers in 
eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska. This resulted in an 
estimated $100 million in economic damages. This Committee 
believes that measures, such as enhanced inspections of aging 
infrastructure may help avoid similar future occurrences. 
Similarly, enhanced inspections at aging water infrastructure 
projects such as the Waterbury Dam, located in Waterbury, 
Vermont, may better detect and monitor seepage and settlement. 
Enhanced inspections are likely to be an important tool for 
safety inspections conducted by the Corps as part of its 
Inspection of Completed Works Program.

Sec. 1022. Expediting repairs and recovery from flooding

    This section requires that, for the five-year period 
beginning with the enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
prioritize and expedite the processing of applications for 
permits under the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (30 Stat. 
1151, chapter 425; 33 U.S.C. 403), section 404 of the CWA (33 
U.S.C. 1344), and permissions under section 14 of the Act of 
March 3, 1899 (30 Stat. 1152, chapter 425; 33 U.S.C. 408). This 
includes completions of repairs, reconstruction (including 
improvements), and upgrades to flood control infrastructure 
damaged by flooding events during calendar years 2017 through 
2020, including damage caused by ice jams.

Sec. 1023. Upper Snake River levees

    This section requires the Secretary to prioritize and 
expedite, in coordination with state, tribal and local 
authorities, the completion of maintenance and repair 
activities to levee systems that are both operated and 
maintained by the Secretary and are in the Upper Snake River 
Basin.

Sec. 1024. Uniformity of notification systems

    This section requires that the Secretary conduct an 
inventory of all communication and notification systems used by 
the Corps with respect to projects, initiatives, and facilities 
of the Corps within 180 days of enactment of this Act. Further, 
within a year of enactment of this Act, the Secretary must 
develop a plan for making such communication and notification 
systems uniform. Within 18 months, the Secretary shall 
implement emergency management notifications. Within two years, 
the Secretary must have completed implementation of the 
communication and notification uniformity plans.
    Nothing in this section authorizes the elimination of any 
existing communication or notification system used by the 
Corps.

Sec. 1025. Susquehanna, Delaware, and Potomac River Basin commissions

    This section amends section 5019 of WRDA 2007 (121 Stat. 
1201; 128 Stat. 1307) to reauthorize the Susquehanna, Delaware, 
and Potomac River Basin Commissions, and transfers them under 
the purview of EPA.

Sec. 1026. Wilmington Harbor South Disposal Area, Delaware

    This section establishes the sediment fill height limit at 
the Wilmington Harbor South Disposal Area confined disposal 
facility, Delaware, at not more than 45 feet. Further, it 
specifies that when the sediment fill reaches 45 feet, the 
Secretary must convey non-usable land at the facility for fair 
market value to the State of Delaware. Until that conveyance, 
the facility may be used as a dredge disposal facility for the 
Port of Edgemoor and for other uses, as determined by the State 
of Delaware. The remaining capacity in the Wilmington South 
disposal area would be utilized for the Corps' maintenance of 
Wilmington Harbor, which is the site's current purpose.

Sec. 1027. Conveyance of Wilmington Harbor North Disposal Area, 
        Delaware

    This section requires the ongoing conveyance by the 
Secretary of the Wilmington Harbor North Disposal Area confined 
disposal facility, Delaware, to the State of Delaware to be 
completed as soon as practicable.

Sec. 1028. Coastal storm damage reduction contracts

    This section requires the Secretary to seek input from the 
community or communities where a coastal storm damage reduction 
project is located to minimize, to the maximum extent 
practicable, the impact to the local economy due to the timing 
of the project activities.

Sec. 1029. Corps flood policy within urban areas

    This section requires the Secretary to expedite the 
completion of the report on Corps flood policy within urban 
areas pursuant to section 1211 of AWIA 2018 (132 Stat. 3808).

Sec. 1030. Reporting on over budget and behind schedule Corps projects

    This section requires the Secretary to submit a report 
describing water resources projects that either exceed the 
total estimated project budget by more than $100 million, or 
exceed the estimated project completion date by more than five 
years. The report must be completed within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act and submitted to the Committee on 
Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives.

Sec. 1031. Dam remediation for ecosystem restoration

    This section amends section 542(b)(2) of WRDA 2000 (114 
Stat. 2671; 121 Stat. 1150) to allow for dam remediation in the 
Lake Champlain Watershed if the purpose is to restore, protect 
and preserve the surrounding ecosystem. This section applies to 
dams that have been constructed, in whole or in part, by the 
Corps for flood control purposes, for which construction was 
completed before 1940, that are classified as having ``high 
hazard potential'' by the state dam safety agency of the state 
in which the dam is located, and that are operated by a non-
federal entity as a critical restoration project.

Sec. 1032. Conveyance of certain Federal land to the city of 
        Montgomery, Alabama

    This section authorizes the Secretary to convey all right, 
title, and interest of the United States in and to 62.38 acres 
of land and water in the R.E. ``Bob'' Woodruff Project Area 
that is covered by lease number DACW01-1-05-0037 (including the 
parcels and structure known as ``Powder Magazine'').

Sec. 1033. Maintenance of high risk flood control projects

    This section mandates that if the Secretary assumes 
responsibility for the maintenance of a project classified as 
class III or higher urgency under the Corps' Dam Safety Action 
Classification after the date of enactment of this Act, then 
the Secretary will continue to be responsible for the 
maintenance of that project. The Secretary's responsibility for 
maintenance remains until the earlier of (1) the date on which 
the project is modified to reduce that risk and the Secretary 
determines that the project is determined to be adequately safe 
or (2) 15 years after the date of enactment of this Act.

Sec. 1034. Projects to accommodate irregular dredging

    This section requires that the Secretary, within two years 
after enactment of this Act and to the maximum extent 
practicable, implement at least one project under section 107 
of the River and Harbor Act of 1960 (33 U.S.C. 577) to improve 
a harbor to accommodate a special event that is (1) hosted by a 
government entity, (2) open to the public, and (3) of 
significant educational and regional economic development 
benefit. This section also allows the Secretary to not require 
national economic development benefits to exceed costs for any 
such project carried out under specified circumstances that 
includes specific cost-share requirements typical of section 
107 projects under CAP.

Sec. 1035. Chesapeake Bay environmental restoration and protection 
        program

    This section amends section 510 of WRDA 1996 (110 Stat. 
3761; 121 Stat. 1202; 128 Stat. 1318) to set a per project 
total cost limit of $15 million for the Chesapeake Bay 
environmental restoration program. It also increases authorized 
appropriations to $90 million to carry out the program.
    In addition, this section requires the Secretary to carry 
out public outreach and workshops for non-federal interests to 
provide information on the Chesapeake Bay environmental 
restoration and protection program under section 510 of WRDA 
1996, including how to participate in the program.
    This section authorizes $2.5 million for this outreach for 
each fiscal year 2021 and 2022.

Sec. 1036. Implementation guidance; reports; and briefings

    This section requires the Secretary to brief the Committee 
on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee 
on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives on the status of implementation guidance and 
reports required under this Act. The briefing must occur within 
150 days of enactment of this Act.
    This section also requires that the Secretary provide the 
Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives with quarterly briefings on the status of the 
implementation of each provision of law under WRRDA 2014, WIIN 
2016, and AWIA 2018, as well as this Act and any amendments 
made by this Act to these aforementioned laws. The obligation 
to provide such briefings terminates on the date that the 
Secretary completes the implementation of each provision of law 
under these specified pieces of legislation.

Sec. 1037. Interagency task force on low-head dams and fish passages

    This section requires the Secretary to establish an 
interagency task force to study low-head dams and fish 
passages.
    The Secretary must also submit a report to Congress by 
December 31, 2021, that includes recommendations for 
interagency cooperation; an analysis of the quality of existing 
data and need for additional surveys or other studies; and a 
national strategy for identifying, prioritizing and 
successfully removing or refurbishing low-head dams of concern 
by 2030.

Sec. 1038. Project completion

    This section extends through fiscal year 2024 the 
authorization of appropriations to carry out projects or 
programs of assistance authorized under section 219 of WRDA 
1992.

Sec. 1039. Levee accreditation process; levee certifications

    This section includes a sense of Congress that the process 
developed by the Flood Protection Structure Accreditation Task 
Force established by Public Law 112-141 should not be limited 
to levee systems in the ``inspection of completed works 
program'' of the Corps. Instead, the process shall apply 
equally to federally owned levee systems operated by the 
Secretary, as well as federally owned levee systems operated by 
the Secretary as part of a reservoir project.
    This section also amends section 3014(a) of WRRDA 2014 (42 
U.S.C. 4131). This section requires that when a levee system is 
operated and maintained by the Corps, the agency must cooperate 
with local governments seeking a levee accreditation decision. 
The Corps must provide information necessary to support the 
accreditation decision in a timely manner. This section also 
allows non-federal entities to pay for the federal cost 
associated with accelerated levee system evaluations.

Sec. 1040. Rehabilitation of flood control pump stations affecting 
        Corps of Engineers flood risk management projects

    This section authorizes the Secretary to carry out 
rehabilitation of an eligible pump station if the Secretary 
deems the rehabilitation is feasible. This means addressing a 
major deficiency of the eligible pump station caused by long-
term degradation of the foundation, construction materials, or 
engineering system or components. Prior to rehabilitation under 
this section, a non-federal interest must enter into a binding 
agreement with the Secretary to pay the non-federal share of 
the costs of rehabilitation and to pay 100 percent of the 
operation and maintenance costs of the rehabilitated eligible 
pump station.
    This section authorizes $75 million in appropriations, to 
remain available until expended.

Sec. 1041. Brandon Road study

    This section amends section 3061(d)(2) of WRDA 2007 (121 
Stat. 1121; 132 Stat. 3785). It sets the cost-share to 75 
percent federal expense and 25 percent non-federal expense for 
any project authorized to be constructed as a result of the 
feasibility study regarding the range of options and 
technologies available to prevent the spread of aquatic 
nuisance species between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi 
River through the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and other 
aquatic pathways.

Sec. 1042. Credit or reimbursement

    This section amends section 1024 of WRRDA 2014 (33 U.S.C. 
2325a) to allow an entity that contributes materials or 
services to repair, restore, replace or maintain a water 
resources project to be eligible for reimbursement for the 
value of the materials and services.
    This section further states that prior to contributing 
materials or services under section 1024 of WRRDA 2014, the 
non-federal interest must enter into an agreement with the 
Secretary specifying the terms and conditions of the use of 
materials and services. Any such agreement requires the non-
federal interest to hold the United States free from any and 
all damage arising from the use of any materials and services, 
unless due to the fault or negligence of a federal contractor.
    This section also allows non-federal interests that 
contribute materials or services to be eligible for 
reimbursement up to an amount equal to the estimated federal 
cost for the performance of those materials or services. 
Reimbursement is contingent on the Secretary determining that 
the materials or services provided are integral to the project. 
This is subject to the availability of appropriations and the 
non-federal interest's compliance with all federal laws and 
regulations that would apply to the use of materials or 
services had the Secretary provided them.
    This section permits the Secretary to use existing 
emergency authorities following a flood event to accept 
materials, services or funds under section 1024 of WRRDA 2014 
if those materials, services or funds are being used for 
restoring an authorized navigation or flood risk management 
project up to authorized dimensions; repairing or 
reconstructing an authorized navigation or flood risk 
management project; or any other activities the Secretary 
determines are in the public interest as a result of the 
emergency.
    This section also amends section 221(a)(4) of the Flood 
Control Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 1962d-5b(a)(4)). It allows the 
Secretary, regarding a written agreement for a water resources 
project, to determine the value of in-kind contributions made 
by a non-federal interest towards the non-federal interest's 
project cost-share. It also allows the Secretary to determine 
as part of the agreement, the value of materials and services 
contributed by the non-federal third parties, without charge, 
to the non-federal interest for post-cost-sharing agreement 
planning or certain construction. This section strikes the 
limitation that the amount of the credit authorized cannot 
exceed the actual and reasonable costs of the materials, 
services, or other things provided by the non-federal interest.

Sec. 1043. Emergency contracting

    This section allows the Secretary to maximize use of 
``tradeoff procedures'' in competitive acquisitions while 
carrying out work with states in an area under a disaster 
declaration pursuant to section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford 
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5170). 
Tradeoff procedures place roughly an equal weight or greater 
importance on schedule and other non-price factors compared to 
cost or price.

Sec. 1044. Project partnership agreement

    This section amends section 103(j)(1) of WRDA 1986 (33 
U.S.C. 2213(j)(1)). It requires that any agreement required for 
flood control and other purposes for which that section 
applies, to include a brief description of, and estimate costs 
for, anticipated operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, 
and rehabilitation obligations of the non-federal interest for 
the project.

Sec. 1045. Acceptance of funds for harbor dredging

    This section allows the Secretary to accept and expend 
funds contributed by a state or other non-federal interest to 
dredge a non-federal harbor or channel or to provide technical 
assistance related to the planning and design of dredging 
activities in a non-federal harbor or channel.

Sec. 1046. Emergency flooding protection for lakes

    This section requires the Secretary to submit a report to 
Congress on the extent to which the program authorized under 
section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1941 (55 Stat. 650, 
chapter 377; 33 U.S.C. 701n), applies to lakes, including lakes 
with the flow of a slow-moving river, including, if applicable, 
recommendations for legislative changes to ensure that such 
lakes are eligible for the program.

Sec. 1047. Levee safety

    This section amends section 9004 of WRDA 2007 (33 U.S.C. 
3303) to require the Secretary to identify engineering and 
maintenance deficiencies, as well as describe recommended 
remedies and associated costs, for each levee identified in the 
national levee database. When identifying deficiencies and 
describing remedies, the Secretary is required to consult with 
relevant non-federal interests and provide them with an 
opportunity to comment.

Sec. 1048. Replacement capacity

    This section amends section 217(a) of WRDA 1996 (33 U.S.C. 
2326a(a)) and expands upon the authority to allow the Secretary 
to approve the use of federal dredge disposal facilities for 
non-federal construction of navigation improvements pursuant to 
section 204(f) of WRDA 1986 (33 U.S.C. 2232(f)). If the 
Secretary determines that replacement capacity is necessary for 
federal project purposes and can be constructed at an 
alternative dredge disposal facility, the non-federal interest 
shall be responsible for the costs to construct the replacement 
capacity, but not until the capacity is needed for federal 
project purposes. Additional costs or credits may be 
attributable to the non-federal interest depending on the 
proposed site for the replacement capacity of the dredge 
material. This section also stipulates that the Secretary may 
not reject a replacement capacity location unless it is 
determined that the site is environmentally unacceptable or 
technically unsound.

Sec. 1049. Implementation guidance for post-flood improvements

    This section requires the Secretary to expedite the 
implementation guidance for the amendments made by section 1176 
of WIIN 2016 (130 Stat. 1673).

Sec. 1050. Willamette Valley Project water reallocation

    This section mandates that the Secretary assist the State 
of Oregon in the implementation of the reallocation of water 
within the Willamette Basin. This includes the development of 
instream flow targets and facilitation of the conversion of 
Willamette Valley Project stored water to instream water 
rights. This reallocation is to ensure fish and wildlife 
benefits, as required by the biological opinion for the 
Willamette Basin Review issued by the National Marine Fisheries 
Service on June 28, 2019.
    This section authorizes $2 million to remain available 
until expended.

Sec. 1051. Central Appalachia water

    This section establishes a program under the Corps to 
provide environmental assistance to non-federal interests in 
Central and North Central Appalachia. This assistance is to be 
in the form of design and construction assistance for water-
related environmental infrastructure and resource protection 
and development projects. This includes projects for publicly 
owned wastewater treatment and related facilities, water supply 
and related facilities, and surface water resource protection 
and development.
    This section also requires that the Secretary enter into 
local cooperation agreements with non-federal interests and 
create a development plan with the appropriate federal and 
state officials.
    This section sets the federal cost-share of a project 
carried out with the assistance under this section at 75 
percent. However, the non-federal interests may receive credit 
for the reasonable costs of design work completed by the non-
federal interest before entering into a local cooperation 
agreement with the Secretary for a project, not to exceed 25 
percent of the total cost of the project.
    This section authorizes $120 million, to remain available 
until expended.

Sec. 1052. Reviewing hydropower at Corps of Engineers facilities

    This section amends section 1008 of WRRDA 2014 (33 U.S.C. 
2321b). It requires the Secretary, at the written request of an 
eligible non-federal interest, to evaluate operational changes 
at the applicable project to facilitate production of non-
federal hydropower, consistent with authorized project 
purposes. Within 180 days of such a request, the Secretary must 
provide a written response approving the request or specifying 
necessary additional information. The non-federal cost-share 
associated with an evaluation is 100 percent, including costs 
to prepare the report called for in this section.
    This section also requires that an evaluation on the 
effects of the operational changes proposed by the non-federal 
interest be complete within one year of its commencement. The 
Secretary must submit a report to the Committee on Environment 
and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives on the effects of the operational changes 
proposed by the non-federal interest. The Corps must examine 
the effect of the changes on the authorized purposes of the 
project, and describe any negative impacts of the proposed 
operational changes thereon.

Sec. 1053. Establishing permanent features from emergency response 
        measures

    This section requires the Secretary, at the request of an 
impacted community, to evaluate whether a temporary structure 
that was constructed by the Corps in response to a natural 
disaster should become a permanent feature. In making that 
determination, the Secretary shall consider the likelihood that 
a similar structure will need to be constructed in that area in 
the future if not made permanent; the extent to which similar 
structures have been constructed in the area previously and 
have been removed; the economic, safety, and environmental 
benefits and impacts of establishing a permanent feature in the 
watershed of the impacted community; the extent of the 
modifications necessary to make the temporary structure a 
permanent feature; and the costs of the modifications.
    Once this evaluation is completed, the planning, design and 
construction of permanent features may proceed if the total 
project cost is not expected to exceed $17.5 million. If the 
total construction cost of a project is more, then the 
Secretary must submit to Congress a request to carry out the 
project in a manner similar to a Chief's Report and may not 
carry out the project until Congress authorizes the 
construction of the project.
    This section establishes the maximum non-federal cost-share 
for carrying out a project under this section at 35 percent, 
except when carrying out a project with a small or 
disadvantaged community if it is determined that the life, 
safety, or economic viability of the community would be 
threatened without the project. If that is determined to be the 
case, the Secretary may reduce the cost-share of the applicable 
project from a minimum of ten percent, up to 100 percent of the 
non-federal share.
    As is current law, the Committee directs the Secretary when 
implementing this section to consider the current and future 
impacts that any constructed feature might have on potential 
flooding upstream, on adjacent lands and interests, or on 
downstream areas.

Sec. 1054. Studies of water resources development projects by non-
        Federal interests

    This section amends section 203 of WRDA 1986 (33 U.S.C. 
2231) to permit a non-federal interest to undertake not just a 
federally authorized feasibility study of a proposed project, 
but also conduct a feasibility study on modifications or 
improvements to a project constructed by the Corps.
    This section mandates that the Secretary issue guidelines 
for feasibility studies of water resources development projects 
conducted by non-federal interests to provide sufficient 
information for the formulation of the studies, including 
processes and procedures related to reviews and assistance. Any 
technical assistance provided by the Secretary under section 
2231 of WRDA 1986 may include assistance that does not conflict 
with any other federal law, including regulations.

Sec. 1055. Subsurface drain systems research and development

    This section mandates that the Secretary, acting through 
the Director of the Engineer Research and Development Center 
(ERDC), carry out research and development activities relating 
to the use of subsurface drain systems as a flood risk-
reduction measure and a coastal storm risk-reduction measure.
    This section authorizes $5 million dollars, to remain 
available until expended.

Sec. 1056. Limitation on contract execution in the Arkansas River Basin

    This section creates a limitation on contract execution for 
contracts between any local governmental entity and the 
Secretary for water supply storage in a federal or non-federal 
hydropower lake within the Arkansas River Basin. This section 
requires that for new contracts entered into during the period 
beginning on the date of enactment of this Act and ending on 
December 31, 2022, for a hydropower lake, a local governmental 
entity shall not pay more than 110 percent of the initial 
principal cost for the acre-feet being sought for the new 
covered contract for that hydropower lake.

Sec. 1057. Support for mitigation efforts for small dams in National 
        Heritage Corridors

    This section allows the Secretary to participate in 
ecosystem restoration efforts, including fish passage measures 
at a dam associated with a small hydroelectric power project, 
that are otherwise the legal obligation of the hydroelectric 
power project licensee or exemption holder to provide under the 
Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.), if the ecosystem 
restoration project is located in a National Heritage Area 
located within the boundaries of the North Atlantic Division of 
the Corps.

Sec. 1058. Report on barriers to infrastructure development at United 
        States ports

    This section requires the Secretary, within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act and in consultation with all relevant 
federal agencies, to submit a report on the barriers to 
infrastructure and capital improvement projects faced by ports 
and port authorities. The report must also examine the impact 
those barriers have on the strategic competitiveness of ports 
of the United States and provide recommendations to reduce 
those barriers.

Sec. 1059. Rye Harbor, New Hampshire, navigation improvement project

    This section requires the Secretary to expedite authorized 
activities to address shoaling impacts at the Rye Harbor, New 
Hampshire, navigation project authorized by section 101 of the

of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 
(33 U.S.C. 1413(b)) until September 30, 2024.

Sec. 1061. Rio Grande environmental management program, Colorado, New 
        Mexico, and Texas

    This section extends the current level of authorized 
appropriations to carry out the Rio Grande Environmental 
Management Program, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas under 
section 5056(f) of WRDA 2007 (121 Stat. 1214; 128 Stat. 1315) 
until fiscal year 2024. The program is authorized at $15 
million per fiscal year.

Sec. 1062. Restoration of abandoned sites

    This section amends section 560(f) of WRDA 1999 (33 U.S.C. 
2336(f)) to allow the Secretary to carry out technical, 
planning and design assistance to federal and non-federal 
interests for carrying out projects to address water quality 
problems caused by drainage and related activities from 
abandoned and inactive non-coal mines.
    The authorization is increased to $30 million to remain 
available until expended.

Sec. 1063. Rural Western water

    This section amends section 595(i) of WRDA 1999 (113 Stat. 
383; 128 Stat. 1613; 130 Stat. 1681) to require that the 
Secretary appoint a Corps Headquarters employee as a program 
manager responsible for the environmental infrastructure 
program established under this statute. Additionally, this 
section increases the authorization of appropriations for the 
program by $65 million in order to provide environmental 
infrastructure assistance to non-federal interests in rural 
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

Sec. 1064. Thad Cochran Lock and Dam

    This section designates the lock and dam located at mile 
371 on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway as the ``Thad Cochran 
Lock and Dam''.

Sec. 1065. Report on Corps of Engineers facilities in Appalachia

    This section requires the Secretary, in collaboration with 
the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), to submit to the 
Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives a report that identifies Corps facilities and 
projects located within a distressed county (as designated by 
the Appalachian Regional Commission pursuant to section 
14526(a)(1)(A) of title 40, United States Code). Furthermore, 
the study is to identify where Corps facilities could be 
improved for purposes of economic development, recreation or 
other uses. The report must be submitted within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act.

Sec. 1066. Report on Corps of Engineers hydropower facilities in 
        Appalachia

    This section mandates that the Secretary conduct a study in 
collaboration with the ARC, the Secretary of Energy, and the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that examines the 
potential at Corps facilities located within ARC-identified 
distressed communities, or an at risk county, for testing, 
evaluating, piloting, demonstrating, or deploying hydropower or 
energy storage technologies and powering non-powered dams. The 
study is also to identify previously proposed dam sites in ARC-
designated distressed counties that may be appropriate for such 
activities.
    This section requires the study to be carried out in 
coordination with relevant National Laboratories and shall be 
issued within 180 days of enactment of this Act.

Sec. 1067. Harris County, Texas

    This section repeals section 575 of WRDA 1996 (110 Stat. 
3789; 113 Stat. 311; 121 Stat. 1253) that disadvantaged the 
benefit calculations for certain projects located in Harris 
County, Texas.

Sec. 1068. Identification of nonpowered dams for hydropower development

    This section requires that the Secretary, pursuant to 
section 1206 of AWIA 2018 (132 Stat. 3806), expedite completion 
of a list of existing nonpowered dams owned and operated by the 
Corps that have the greatest potential for hydropower.

Sec. 1069. Inland Waterway Transportation

    This section amends section 102 of WRDA 1986 (33 U.S.C. 
2212) to adjust the contributions for the construction or major 
rehabilitation of a navigation project on inland waterways to 
65 percent from the general fund of the Treasury and 35 percent 
from the Inland Waterways Trust Fund (IWTF). The change in 
contributions applies to projects authorized on or after the 
date of enactment of WRDA 1986 and for which the construction 
or major rehabilitation has not been initiated or completed by 
the date of enactment of this Act.

Sec. 1070. Federal interest determination

    This section amends section 905 of WRDA 1986 (33 U.S.C. 
2282) by requiring a federal interest determination prior to 
initiating an authorized water resources project-related study. 
The cost of the determination is at full federal expense and is 
limited to no more than $100,000. Further, the federal interest 
determination must be completed within 120 days from the 
availability of full funding for the determination, and is not 
subject to the 3x3x3 requirements established under sections 
1001(a)(1) and (2) of the WRRDA 2014 (33 U.S.C. 2282c(a)(1) and 
(2)).

Sec. 1071. Report on single levee standard

levee standards of FEMA. The report should address whether any 
differences uncovered create uncertainty for levee management 
purposes. The report must be submitted within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act.

Sec. 1072. South Atlantic Coastal Study

    This section amends section 1204 of WIIN 2016 (130 Stat. 
1685) to require the Secretary to provide the Committee on 
Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives with an annual briefing and report on the South 
Atlantic Coastal Study. The purpose of the study is to identify 
the risks and vulnerabilities of coastal areas located within 
the South Atlantic Division of the Corps to increased hurricane 
and storm damage as a result of sea level rise. The report on 
the status of the study on a state-by-state basis must be 
submitted annually, and not later than 180 days after the 
aforementioned annual briefing. The report will include 
detailed information on the engagement of the Corps with non-
federal interests regarding the study.

Sec. 1073. Completion of reports

    This section authorizes $50 million in appropriations, to 
remain available until expended, for the completion of any 
report required under a provision of WRRDA 2014, WIIN 2016, 
AWIA 2018, this Act, or any amendments made by any of these 
aforementioned acts and for which appropriations were not or 
are not otherwise provided.

Sec. 1074. Delegation of work for Comprehensive Everglades Restoration 
        Plan projects

    This section amends section 601 of WRDA 2000 (114 Stat. 
2684) to allow the Secretary to delegate work that needs to be 
completed on projects authorized under the Comprehensive 
Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) to non-federal sponsors. 
This also includes modifications to the Central and Southern 
Florida Project, and the specified authorization of future 
projects.
    If the Secretary determines that a non-federal sponsor is 
capable and willing to design and construct an authorized CERP 
project, or separable element, the Secretary may transfer funds 
to the non-federal sponsor up to the amount of the federal 
share to carry out the project. If Corps technical assistance 
is required, the transferred funds would be equal to the 
difference of: not greater than 100 percent of the federal 
share of the cost of carrying out the project, or separable 
element, and the cost of providing the non-federal sponsor with 
federal technical assistance required for compliance with 
statutory, regulatory, and program requirements.

Sec. 1075. Material breaches of contract

    This section allows the Secretary to waive a non-federal 
interest's share of damages and attorney's fees in a case where 
the Armed Service Board of Contract Appeals, or another court 
of competent jurisdiction, renders a decision awarding damages 
to a contractor related to claims arising from the construction 
of general navigation features of any authorized project. This 
waiver is conditioned upon the court decision occurring between 
specified dates, and the contracting officer having been 
instructed by the Corps to modify the terms of the contract or 
terminate the contract. Additionally, the court must determine 
that the failure of the contracting officer to timely take 
action was a material breach of the contract that resulted in 
damages to the contractor.

Sec. 1076. Repair and restoration of embankments

    This section authorizes the Secretary to repair and restore 
any portion of an embankment that is adjacent to the shoreline 
of a reservoir project operated by the Secretary for which 
damage to, or the failure of, the embankment has adversely 
affected a roadway that the Secretary has relocated for 
construction of the reservoir.

Sec. 1077. Non-Federal interest repayment obligations

    This section amends section 103 of WRDA 1986 (33 U.S.C. 
2213) to allow the Secretary and non-federal interest to 
renegotiate the payment terms and conditions of a covered 
project accrued during a project delay. Specifically, the 
parties may renegotiate the payment terms and conditions 
regarding the interest rate and forgiveness of construction 
interest accrued during a project delay; and a credit against 
construction interest for a non-federal investment that 
benefits the covered project. To qualify, a project must have 
been initiated on or after September 8, 2005, and must have had 
a delay of five or more years beyond the completion date 
established by the project partnership agreement.
    In addition, the Secretary can credit any costs incurred by 
the non-federal interest to fix a design or construction 
deficiency of a covered project towards the non-federal share 
of the cost of the covered project. However, the Secretary must 
make a determination that the fix is integral to the completion 
of the covered project.

Sec. 1078. Great Lakes confined disposal facilities

    This section requires the Secretary to the maximum extent 
practicable, to relocate access to a confined disposal facility 
owned or operated by a non-federal interest in the Great Lakes 
region in which material dredged by the Corps is placed, if the 
Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration regulates 
access to the confined disposal facility. The cost to relocate 
access to a confined disposal facility under this section must 
be shared in accordance with the cost-share applicable to 
operation and maintenance of the federal navigation project 
from which material placed in the confined disposal facility is 
dredged. The authority under this section terminates on 
December 31, 2024.

Sec. 1079. Coastal mapping

    This section amends section 516 of WRDA 1996 (33 U.S.C. 
2326b) to require the Secretary to develop and carry out a plan 
for the mapping of coastlines that are experiencing rapid 
coastline changes on a reoccurring basis.
    This section authorizes an additional $10 million for these 
activities.

Sec. 1080. Disposal of dredged materials

    This section requires the Secretary, within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act, to ensure that, when evaluating the 
placement of dredged material that the Corps considers the 
suitability of the material to be dredged for a full range of 
beneficial uses and the economic and environmental benefits, 
impacts, and feasibility, of using the material for those 
beneficial uses.

Sec. 1081. Upper Missouri River Basin mainstem dam fish loss research

    This section requires the Secretary to carry out research 
relating to the management of fish losses through the mainstem 
dams of the Missouri River Basin during periods of high water 
flow. Within 18 months of enactment of this Act, a report must 
be submitted to the Committee on Environment and Public Works 
of the Senate and the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure of the House of Representatives recommending a 
plan to address these losses.

Sec. 1082. Briefings on dissemination of information

    This section amends section 1104(b) of AWIA 2018 (33 U.S.C. 
2282d note) to require that the Secretary provide the Committee 
on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee 
on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives annual briefings on the Secretary's education 
and awareness efforts regarding non-federal interests and the 
annual 7001 Report. It also requires that the Secretary issue 
guidance for the uniform implementation of the 7001 process by 
Corps districts and ensure annual compliance with that 
guidance.
    The Committee remains concerned that the implementation of 
the 7001 Report process continues to be handled inconsistently 
by each Corps District, and the purpose of the 7001 Report 
process is not widely understood among individuals tasked with 
developing the report. As authorized, the 7001 Report is a 
communication to Congress that allows for the authorization or 
modification of studies, projects, and programs at the Corps. 
The Committee continues to hear complaints from stakeholders 
that the dissemination of information regarding the 7001 Report 
process is also inconsistent and needs to be improved. This 
section directs the Corps to improve implementation and public 
awareness of the 7001 Report process, so as not to disrupt the 
authorization process of Congress.

Sec. 1083. Corps of Engineers projects in underserved communities, 
        economically distressed areas, or rural areas

    This section allows the Secretary to recommend a project 
for funding without the need to demonstrate that the project is 
justified by national economic development benefits. This is 
contingent on the community that is served by the project being 
small, financially disadvantaged, or rural, as well as the 
long-term life, safety, economic viability, and environmental 
sustainability of the community being threatened without the 
project. The economic evaluation of such a project must include 
non-monetary benefits, as well as monetary benefits.

Sec. 1084. Interim risk reduction measures

    This section requires the Secretary to reevaluate a final 
environmental assessment completed during the period beginning 
on March 18, 2019, and ending on the date of enactment of this 
Act, where an interim risk reduction measure for dam safety 
purposes was evaluated if the final environmental assessment 
did not consider in detail at least one operational water 
control plan change alternative, one action alternative other 
than an operational water control plan change, and the no 
action alternative.

Sec. 1085. Maintenance dredging permits

    This section requires that the Secretary prioritize the 
reissuance of any regional general permit for maintenance 
dredging that expires prior to May 1, 2021, while also using 
best efforts to ensure the reissuance prior to expiration of 
said regional permit.

Sec. 1086. Technical correction

    This section makes a technical correction to the 
authorization pursuant to section 112 of WRDA 1976 (90 Stat. 
2923) regarding the Theodore Ship Channel, Mobile Harbor, 
Alabama.

Sec. 1087. Annual debris removal

    This section requires the Secretary to submit a report to 
the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and 
the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House 
of Representatives by December 31st each year that identifies 
activities the Secretary plans to start, continue, or complete 
during the upcoming year under section 3 of the Act of March 2, 
1945 (59 Stat. 23, chapter 19; 33 U.S.C. 603a), or under 
another debris removal authority of the Secretary. This report 
has to include, among other information, the estimated total 
cost and completion dates for each activity.

Sec. 1088. Enhanced development demonstration program

    This section directs the Secretary to review the master 
plan and shoreline management plan for any lake under section 
3134 of WRDA 2007 (121 Stat. 1142; 130 Stat. 1671) for purposes 
of identifying areas suitable for enhanced development. 
Additionally, this section allows the Secretary to lease 
federal land for purposes of enhanced development for up to 100 
years, and authorizes the Secretary to accept as in-kind 
consideration for lease payments the maintenance, protection, 
alteration, repair, improvement, or restoration of public 
recreation facilities under the control of the Secretary, and 
construction of new public recreation facilities.

Sec. 1089. Report on benefits calculation for flood control structures

    This section requires the Secretary to submit a report, not 
later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, to 
the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and 
the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House 
of Representatives on the extent to which flood insurance 
premium reductions are included in the benefit-to-cost 
calculation when justifying the implementation of a structural 
flood risk management project.

Sec. 1090. High water-low water preparedness

    This section authorizes the Secretary, in consultation with 
the District Commanders responsible for maintaining any 
affected waterway, the Inland Waterways Users Board, and the 
U.S. Coast Guard, to make a determination that an ``emergency 
condition'' exists, or is anticipated to exist, on an inland 
navigable waterway or a bypass.
    This section allows the Secretary, subject to 
appropriations and in accordance with federal permit 
requirements, to carry out emergency mitigation projects on an 
inland navigable waterway or bypass if an emergency condition 
is determined to exist, or is anticipated to exist. However, 
such a project must be initiated within 60 days after the 
Secretary makes an emergency condition determination, and it 
must be completed within one year of such a determination.
    This section authorizes $25 million for each fiscal year 
2022 through 2024, to remain available until expended.

Sec. 1091. East Rockaway Inlet to Rockaway Inlet and Jamaica Bay 
        Reformulation, New York

    This section authorizes the Secretary to carry out the East 
Rockaway Inlet to Rockaway Inlet and Jamaica Bay Reformulation, 
Atlantic Coast of New York project, in accordance with the 
terms and conditions of the August 22, 2019, Chief's Report. It 
also describes the treatment and cost-share of the project.

Sec. 1092. Report on antecedent hydrologic conditions

    This section requires the Secretary to submit a report 
within one year of enactment of this Act to the Committee on 
Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives relating to the Corps' use of data relating to 
antecedent hydrologic conditions in the Missouri River Basin 
since 2010 (e.g., soil moisture conditions, frost depths, 
snowpack and stream flow conditions). More specifically, the 
report is required to examine the use of this data in 
conducting Missouri River mainstem reservoir operations under 
the Missouri River Master Manual; developing related annual 
operating plans; and performing seasonal, monthly, and daily 
operations.
    This section requires the Secretary to enter into an 
agreement with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) or 
another independent scientific and technical advisory 
organization to conduct a peer review of the Corps' report. The 
Secretary shall submit the results of the peer review to the 
Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives within 180 days after receipt of the peer 
review.
    The Committee is aware of an observable cycle of wet and 
dry years in the Missouri River Basin; a specific year's annual 
runoff does not exist independent of prior years. Among other 
factors, the section 1092 report requirement calls for the 
Corps of Engineers to assess existing and alternative 
algorithms. The Committee is encouraged by the prospect that 
this assessment could improve forecasting, particularly if 
alternative algorithms include consideration of runoff from 
sequential years. The Committee hopes that improvement in 
forecasting, and full implementation of the Missouri River 
Basin snowpack monitoring system, will result in more accurate 
water management decisions that benefits the entire basin.
    This section authorizes $5 million for the report, and an 
additional $5 million for the peer review.

Sec. 1093. Harmful algal blooms demonstration program

    This section authorizes the Secretary to conduct a 
demonstration program to determine the causes of, and how to 
effectively treat and eliminate, harmful algal blooms within 
the Great Lakes and Lake Okeechobee, Florida, and applicable 
tributaries. Related activities will be carried out at full 
federal expense. $25 million is authorized to carry out this 
section, to remain available until expended.

Sec. 1094. Sense of Congress relating to annual maintenance dredging

    This section expresses the sense of Congress that the Corps 
should maintain the annual maintenance dredging for Wilmington 
Harbor, Delaware.

Sec. 1095. Selection of dredged material disposal method for certain 
        purposes

    This section amends section 204 of WRDA 1992 (33 U.S.C. 
2326) to allow the Secretary to evaluate the most beneficial 
use of dredged material from a project rather than disposing of 
it in the least cost option.

Sec. 1096. Increasing access for recreation at Corps of Engineers 
        projects

    This section requires the Secretary to develop 
recommendations, in consultation with relevant non-federal 
sponsors and local recreational organizations, to maximize 
public access and public use at Corps projects. The Secretary 
is required to submit a report to the Committee on Environment 
and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives within 180 days of enactment of this Act, 
regarding the recommendations to increase public access for 
recreation at Corps owned and operated projects.

Sec. 1097. Extinguishment of flowage easements, Rough River Lake, 
        Kentucky

    This section requires the Secretary to extinguish, upon 
request of the landowner, flowage easements or any portion of a 
flowage easement on developed land that is held by the United 
States at Rough River Lake, Kentucky. These easements can be 
extinguished provided that the elevation is above 534 feet mean 
sea level and the easement is not required to address backwater 
effects. $10 million is authorized to carry out this section, 
to remain available until expended.

Sec. 1098. Small flood control projects

    This section amends section 205 of the Flood Control Act of 
1948 (33 U.S.C. 701s) (as amended by section 1017(b)(6) of this 
Act) to include natural or nature based projects.

Sec. 1099. Comprehensive study of Mississippi River System from Old 
        River Control Structure to Gulf of Mexico

Congress on the lower Mississippi River. This study shall 
include the tributaries and distributaries of the Mississippi 
River, from the Old River Control Structure near Point Breeze, 
Louisiana, to the Gulf of Mexico. This section outlines 
specific details of the study and requires it to be conducted 
in collaboration with the heads of other relevant federal 
agencies.
    This section authorizes $25 million to carry out this 
comprehensive study, to remain available until expended.

Sec. 1100. Missouri River

    This section requires the Secretary to submit a report to 
the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and 
the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House 
of Representatives on impacts of interception rearing complexes 
(IRC) on flood control, navigation and other authorized 
purposes set forth in the Missouri River Master Manual, as well 
as population status and trend of the pallid sturgeon. The 
report must be submitted within one year of enactment of this 
Act, and biannually, for ten years thereafter.
    Additionally, this section requires the Secretary to 
continue research on the design of IRCs; ensure comments are 
solicited from the public and Governors of states where any 
future IRC construction takes place; and take corrective action 
if any adverse impacts on an authorized purpose described in 
the Missouri River Master Manual are determined to be a result 
of an IRC.

Sec. 1101. Flexibility for projects

    This section establishes a two-year goal for the completion 
of Corps feasibility studies.

Sec. 1102. Development of categorical exclusions

    This section directs the Secretary to share a list of the 
Corps' categorical exclusions for environmental review with 
other federal agencies and directs those federal agencies to 
conduct a rulemaking process if they determine that it is 
appropriate to adopt similar categorical exclusions.

Sec. 1103. Publication of fee schedules

    This section requires the Secretary to make available on 
Corps District office websites a schedule of administrative 
fees charged by the Corps for transactions associated with 
water resources development project lands.

Sec. 1104. Flood protection projects

    This section amends section 73(a) of WRDA 1974 (33 U.S.C. 
701b-11(a)) to allow for natural and nature based project 
alternatives to be considered in the non-structural category of 
projects.

Sec. 1105. Rehabilitation of high hazard potential dams

    This section amends section 2 of the National Dam Safety 
Program Act (33 U.S.C. 467) with technical changes designed to 
improve the functioning of the FEMA grant program for non-
federal dam safety projects enacted in WIIN 2016.

Sec. 1106. Backlog prevention

    This section deauthorizes water resource development 
projects authorized for construction under AWIA 2020 ten years 
after enactment unless such a project has had funds obligated 
for construction of, or a post-authorization study for, the 
project or the separable element during that period, or a 
subsequent Act of Congress modifies the authorization contained 
in AWIA 2020.

Sec. 1107. Lease terms for commercial concession leases

    This section amends section 4 of the Flood Control Act of 
1944 (58 Stat. 889, chapter 665; 16 U.S.C. 460d) to require 
that a commercial concession lease under which the lessee has

storage projects in rural states. This is to be done in 
partnership with a non-federal interest. Qualifying projects 
must be located in a state with a population of less than one 
million; in the case of a new water storage project, have a 
water storage capacity of not less than 2,000 acre-feet and not 
more than 30,000 acre-feet; and in the case of an enlargement 
of an existing water storage project, be for an enlargement of 
not less than 1,000 acre-feet and not more than 30,000 acre-
feet. Further, such projects must provide either flood risk

economic justification of a sediment management plan, the 
Secretary must measure and include flooding erosion, and 
accretion damages both upstream and downstream of the reservoir 
that are likely to occur as a result of sediment management 
within the reservoir compared to the damages that are likely to 
occur if the sediment management plan is not implemented. The 
sediment management plan's economic justification must also 
include lifecycle costs and a 100-year period of analysis.
    This section also authorizes the Secretary to carry out 
sediment removal activities at reservoirs owned and operated by 
the Secretary in the Upper Missouri River Basin, or at 
reservoirs for which the Secretary has flood control 
responsibilities under section 7 of the Act of December 22, 
1944 (commonly known as the ``Flood Control Act of 1944'') (58 
Stat. 890, chapter 665; 33 U.S.C. 709) in the Upper Missouri

1974 (42 U.S.C. 1962d-16) provides equal priority for all 
authorized purposes, including water supply and water 
conservation, as required by law.

Sec. 1504. Forecast-informed reservoir operations

    This section mandates that the Secretary, in conjunction 
with the Commissioner of Reclamation, establish a working group 
to advance the science to support forecast-informed reservoir 
operations (FIRO) in the Upper Missouri River Basin. It 
outlines the membership of the working group, as well as its 
duties.
    This section states that on request of a non-federal 
interest, the Secretary, the Commissioner of Reclamation and 
the non-federal interest must jointly conduct a viability 
assessment on the use of FIRO at a reservoir located in the 
Upper Missouri River Basin for which the Secretary has flood 
control responsibilities under section 7 of the Act of December 
22, 1944 (commonly known as the ``Flood Control Act of 1944'') 
(58 Stat. 890, chapter 665; 33 U.S.C. 709). The viability 
assessment must be completed within one year after the date on 
which it begins, and the federal cost-share of the viability 
assessment is 100 percent.
    This section also states that if a conducted viability 
assessment indicates that forecast-informed reservoir 
operations are viable at a reservoir described under this 
section, the Secretary and the Commissioner of Reclamation must 
develop and implement a pilot program to carry out FIRO at that 
reservoir.

Sec. 1505. Study on data for water allocation, supply, and demand

    This section states that the Secretary must offer to enter 
into an agreement with NAS to conduct a study on the ability of 
federal agencies to coordinate with other federal agencies, 
state and local agencies, Indian tribes, communities, 
universities, consortiums, councils, and other relevant 
entities with expertise in water resources to facilitate and 
coordinate the sharing of water allocation, supply and demand 
data.
    NAS must submit a report to Congress within one year of 
enactment of this Act. The report must include the results of 
the study, as well as any recommendations for ways to 
streamline and create cost-effective methods for federal 
agencies to coordinate interstate sharing of data; 
recommendations for the development of a publicly accessible, 
internet-based platform that can allow entities to communicate 
and coordinate ongoing data collection efforts relating to 
water allocation, supply, and demand; and share best practices 
relating to those efforts. The report should also recommend an 
appropriate federal entity to serve as the lead coordinator for 
data relating to water allocation, supply, and demand, and to 
host and manage the internet-based platform.
    This section authorizes $3.9 million to carry out this 
section from unobligated funds made available for operations 
and maintenance activities of the Corps.

Sec. 1506. GAO report on certain Federal dams and reservoirs

    This section requires the Comptroller General of the United 
States to submit a report to Congress within one year of 
enactment of this Act. It must address, with respect to each 
federal dam and reservoir in the United States located west of 
the 100th meridian, the water control manuals that were changed 
or updated by the Corps during the previous ten years. Further, 
it must identify any water storage reallocations approved by 
the Corps during the previous ten years.
    The report must include a summary of the process and 
policies used by the Corps to establish and update flood 
control curves within those water control manuals at the 
federal dams and reservoirs, and make recommendations for 
changes to the process and policies used by the Corps to 
establish and update flood control curves within water control 
manuals at the federal dams and reservoirs.

Sec. 1507. Aquatic ecosystem restoration

    This section amends section 206 of WRDA 1996 (33 U.S.C. 
2330) regarding projects to restore and protect an aquatic 
ecosystem or estuary. It states that for fiscal years 2021 
through 2024, the Secretary must prioritize a project that is 
located in the South Platte River Basin; is on a body of water 
that is identified by the applicable state under section 303(d) 
of the CWA (33 U.S.C. 1313(d)) as being impaired; has the 
potential to provide flood risk management and recreational 
benefits in addition to ecosystem restoration benefits; and is 
located in a city with a population of 80,000 or less.

Sec. 1508. Improving reviews for non-Federal hydropower at existing 
        Corps of Engineers projects

    This section requires FERC and the Secretary to develop and 
implement an environmental review process, as outlined in the 
section, for a licensing application to construct or operate 
hydropower facilities at dams, dikes, embankments or other 
barriers for which the construction was completed on or before 
the date of enactment of this Act, and that is operated, owned, 
or was constructed by the Corps.

Sec. 1509. Surplus water contracts and water storage agreements

    This section makes permanent the current prohibition for 
the Corps to charge fees for surplus water under a contract 
entered into pursuant to section 6 of the Flood Control Act of 
1944, if the contract is for surplus water stored in the Upper 
Missouri Mainstem Reservoirs.

Sec. 1510. Reduced pricing for certain water supply storage

    This section amends section 322 of WRDA 1990 (33 U.S.C. 
2324) regarding reduced pricing for certain water supply 
storage for low-income communities. It increases the maximum 
amount of water supply storage space that may be provided to a 
community under that section to an amount not to exceed storage 
space sufficient to yield three million gallons of water per 
day. In addition, it adds to the previous definition of ``low-
income community'' that of a regional water system that serves 
populations below 100,000, for which the per capita income is 
less than the per capita income of not less than 50 percent of 
the United States' counties.

                      Subtitle F--Invasive Species


Sec. 1601. Definition of invasive species

    This section gives the term ``invasive species'', the same 
meaning given to the term in section 1 of Executive Order 13112 
(64 Fed. Reg. 6183; relating to invasive species (February 8, 
1999)) (as amended by section 2 of Executive Order 13751 (81 
Fed. Reg. 88609; relating to safeguarding the Nation from the 
impacts of invasive species (December 5, 2016))).

Sec. 1602. Invasive species in impaired waters

    This section allows EPA to provide technical assistance to 
support the efforts of states, Indian tribes, and local 
governments in the early detection of and rapid response to 
aquatic invasive species, including eradication and control 
measures, in U.S. waterways. Priority is to be given to efforts 
that target invasive species in a waterway identified by an 
applicable state under subparagraph (A) or (B) of section 
303(d)(1) of the CWA (33 U.S.C. 1313(d)(1)). The cost-share 
will be 100 percent federal, and $10 million in appropriations 
is authorized to carry out this section, to remain available 
until expended.

Sec. 1603. Aquatic invasive species research

    This section amends section 1108 of AWIA 2018 (33 U.S.C. 
2263a). It requires ERDC to add ``prevention'' to its research, 
in addition to ``management and eradication,'' of aquatic 
invasive species. In addition, it specifies that the Secretary 
must work with the Corps District offices representing regions 
that could be impacted in the future by aquatic invasive 
species, in addition to those that are already impacted. This 
section also adds elodea and quagga mussels to the list of 
species the Secretary shall research, as well as adding the 
``Arctic'' region as a region impacted by aquatic invasive 
species.

Sec. 1604. Invasive species mitigation and reduction

    This section amends section 104 of the River and Harbor Act 
of 1958 (33 U.S.C. 610).
    This section expands the Secretary's obligation to 
establish, operate and maintain new or existing watercraft 
inspection stations in specified basins to include 
decontamination stations. Additionally, it directs the 
Secretary to place watercraft inspection stations and 
decontamination stations within the specified basins at 
locations with the highest likelihood of preventing the spread 
of aquatic invasive species into and out of waters of the 
United States, as determined by the Secretary in consultation 
with the Governors.
    This section authorizes $10 million in appropriations for 
fiscal years 2021 through 2024 to support watercraft inspection 
stations along the United States border with Canada.
    This section also authorizes the Secretary to carry out a 
pilot program in coordination with the Aquatic Nuisance Species 
Task Force and in collaboration with states in the Upper 
Missouri River Basin. The purpose would be to develop voluntary 
aquatic invasive species management plans, or update or expand 
an existing plan, to mitigate the effects of invasive species 
on public infrastructure facilities located on reservoirs of 
the Corps reservoirs. This section authorizes $10 million in 
appropriations for each fiscal year 2021 through 2024 to carry 
out this pilot program. This pilot program terminates on 
September 30, 2024.
    This section also authorizes the Secretary to enter into 
partnerships with states and other federal agencies to carry 
out actions to prevent the introduction of, control, or 
eradicate, to the maximum extent possible, invasive species 
that adversely affect water quantity or water quality in the 
Platte River Basin, the Upper Colorado River Basin, the Upper 
Snake River Basin, and the Upper Missouri River Basin. The 
Secretary shall give priority to projects targeting Russian 
olive or salt cedar trees. $50 million in appropriations is 
authorized for each fiscal year 2021 through 2024 to carry out 
these partnerships.
    This section also directs the Secretary of the Interior, 
acting through the Director of the USFWS, to establish a pilot 
program to work with eligible entities to carry out activities 
to remove invasive plant species in riparian areas that 
contribute to drought conditions in the Lower Colorado River 
Basin, the Rio Grande River Basin, the Texas Gulf Coast Basin, 
and the Arkansas-White-Red Basin. The pilot program shall also 
include activities to replace invasive plants removed from 
those basins with suitable native plants, and will maintain and 
monitor these riparian areas. $10 million in appropriations is 
authorized for fiscal years 2021 through 2024 to carry out the 
pilot program, which terminates on September 30, 2024.

Sec. 1605. Terrestrial noxious weed control pilot program

    This section requires the Secretary to carry out a pilot 
program, in consultation with the Federal Interagency Committee 
for the Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds, to identify and 
develop new and improved strategies for terrestrial noxious 
weed control on federal land under the jurisdiction of the 
Secretary. It permits the utilization of partnerships with 
individuals and entities and cooperative agreements with county 
and state agencies for the implementation of the pilot program. 
It also requires the Secretary to submit a report to the 
Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives describing the new and improved strategies 
developed through the pilot program. This report must be 
submitted within two years after the date of enactment of this 
Act.

Sec. 1606. Invasive species risk assessment, prioritization, and 
        management

    This section amends section 528(f)(2) of WRDA 1996 (110 
Stat. 3771). It authorizes the South Florida Ecosystem 
Restoration Task Force (Task Force) to develop a priority list 
of invasive species that impact the structure and function of 
the South Florida ecosystem and that have a strong potential to 
reduce key indicators used to measure Everglades restoration 
progress. The Task Force will use the priority list to guide 
technical assistance and scientific research, and to develop 
innovative technologies and approaches to identify, target, and 
eliminate particularly impactful invasive plants and animals in 
the South Florida ecosystem. The Task Force must also use the 
priority list to develop innovative strategies and tools to 
prevent future introduction of non-native species.

Sec. 1607. Asian carp prevention and control pilot program

    This section requires the Secretary to create an Asian carp 
prevention and control pilot program to carry out projects to 
manage and prevent the spread of, reduce the population of, or 
eradicate Asian carp using innovative technologies, methods and 
measures.
    This section mandates that the Secretary complete no more 
than 20 projects by September 30, 2024. Of the total number of 
projects, at least five projects must be carried out at Corps 
or Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) reservoirs located in the 
Cumberland River or Tennessee River watersheds. The federal 
cost-share for construction of a pilot project will be 80 
percent, as well as 100 percent for operation and maintenance, 
rehabilitation, repair, or removal of unsuccessful projects. 
The Secretary must submit reports to Congress regarding the 
results of the pilot program within two years after enactment 
of this Act, and every subsequent two years thereafter.
    This section authorizes $35 million to carry out the pilot 
program, to remain available until expended. It further states 
that the pilot program authority terminates on September 30, 
2024. However, the authority for the Secretary to transfer 
projects at reservoirs to the TVA does not expire.

Sec. 1608. Aquatic invasive species prevention

    This section amends section 1039(b) of WRRDA 2014 (16 
U.S.C. 4701 note; Public Law 113-121) by expanding the program 
to slow the spread of Asian Carp beyond the Upper Mississippi 
and Ohio River Basins and tributaries to all six sub-basins of 
the Mississippi River.

Sec. 1609. Invasive species in alpine lakes pilot program

    This section requires that the Secretary of the Interior, 
through the Director of the USFWS, establish a pilot program to 
develop and carry out effective measures to prevent, control, 
or eradicate aquatic invasive species in alpine lakes that are 
not located within the National Park System.
    This section also authorizes $25 million in appropriations 
to carry out the pilot program for fiscal years 2022 through 
2024.

Sec. 1610. Invasive species in noncontiguous States and territories 
        pilot program

    This section requires the Director of the USFWS to 
establish a pilot program to prevent, control, or eradicate 
invasive species in culturally significant forested watersheds 
in noncontiguous states and territories of the United States in 
which the Secretary is carrying out flood risk reduction 
projects.
    This section authorizes $25 million to carry out the pilot 
program under this section for fiscal years 2022 through 2024.

                         TITLE II--CLEAN WATER

Sec. 2001. Clean water infrastructure resiliency and sustainability 
        program

    The section establishes the ``Clean Water Infrastructure 
Resiliency and Sustainability Program,'' modeled after a 
similar drinking water program established in AWIA 2018. An 
owner or operator of a publicly owned treatment works can use 
the grants to assist in the planning, design, construction, 
implementation, operation, or maintenance of a program or 
project to increase the resiliency or adaptability of water 
systems to natural hazards. There is a non-federal cost-share 
of 25 percent, and a 10 percent non-federal cost-share for 
small or disadvantaged communities.
    This section authorizes $15 million to carry out this 
section for each fiscal year 2021 through 2024.

Sec. 2002. Increased funding for technical assistance

    This section increases the authorization of appropriations 
under the CWA for technical assistance grants to nonprofit 
agencies assisting rural, small, and tribal municipalities. 
These activities include providing technical assistance and 
training on water quality; ways to achieve and maintain 
compliance with laws and regulations; assisting utilities with 
financing opportunities; and providing information regarding 
planning, design, construction, and operation of treatment 
works and decentralized wastewater systems.
    This section extends the authorization to fiscal year 2024 
and increases authorized appropriations to $75 million for 
fiscal years 2021 through 2024.

Sec. 2003. Small and medium publicly owned treatment works circuit 
        rider program

    This section creates a circuit rider program that awards 
grants to provide additional on-site technical assistance to 
owners and operators of small and medium publicly owned 
treatment works. The program was created as a result of a 
decrease in technical assistance grants to local, on-site 
technical assistance providers. This section also requires the 
EPA to submit to Congress an annual report regarding grant 
recipients and activities covered by the grants.
    This section authorizes appropriations for the program of 
$10 million for each fiscal year 2021 through 2024.

Sec. 2004. Small publicly owned treatment works efficiency grant 
        program

    This section creates an EPA grant program to assist small 
publicly owned treatment works that serve less than 10,000 
people, or a disadvantaged community, with replacing or 
repairing equipment to increase water efficiency or energy 
efficiency.
    This section authorizes appropriations for the program of 
$5 million for each fiscal year 2021 through 2024.

Sec. 2005. Wastewater efficiency grant pilot program

    This section creates an EPA pilot program to assist with 
fifteen projects by publicly owned treatment works to create or 
improve waste-to-energy systems. Grants may be awarded for 
sludge collection systems, anaerobic digesters, methane capture 
or transfer, and other emerging technologies that transform 
waste to energy. It requires the EPA to submit to Congress an 
annual report regarding who received these grants, what 
activities these funds covered, and the impacts of these 
projects.
    This section authorizes appropriations for the program of 
$17.5 million for each fiscal year 2021 and 2022.

Sec. 2006. Pilot program for alternative water source projects

    This section reauthorizes an existing grant program for 
alternative water source projects. The grants may be used for 
engineering, design, construction, and final testing of 
alternative water source projects designed to meet critical 
water supply needs. Alternative water source projects means a 
project that provides alternative sources of water through 
conserving, managing, reclaiming or reusing water, stormwater 
or wastewater.
    The program is authorized for $25 million for each fiscal 
year 2022 through 2024.

Sec. 2007. Sewer overflow and stormwater reuse municipal grants

    This section reauthorizes the existing sewer overflow and 
stormwater reuse municipal grants program for the planning, 
construction and design of treatment works for municipal 
combined sewer overflows, sanitary sewer overflows, or 
stormwater, and any measures to manage, reduce, or recapture 
stormwater or subsurface drainage. This section adds 
notification systems as an allowable use for grants. In 
addition, the section creates a new rural needs set aside 
within the program of 15 percent.
    The programs are reauthorized with increased funding from 
$225 million to $250 million for fiscal years 2021 and 2022.

Sec. 2008. Water infrastructure and workforce investment

    This section reauthorizes an existing competitive grant 
program created in AWIA 2018 to promote workforce development 
in the water utility sector. The section modifies the program 
to make public works departments and agencies eligible for 
these grants in addition to schools.
    This section extends the authorization years and increases 
funding from $1 million to $2 million for each fiscal year 2021 
through 2024.

Sec. 2009. Water Resources Research Act amendments

    This section builds on an existing grant program for 
research institutions for projects regarding water supply 
reliability and other water issues. This section strikes 
``water phenomena'' as a potential field for research and 
replaces it with the more general term, ``water resources.'' 
This section sets the cost-share for funding to a 50 percent 
non-federal match. This section requires that every five years 
each institution that receives these grants be reevaluated on 
the relevancy, quality, and effectiveness of the work performed 
with this funding.
    This section reauthorizes the grant program for $8.25 
million for each fiscal year 2021 through 2024. This section 
also provides additional authorization of appropriations of 
$1.75 million for each fiscal year 2021 through 2024 for 
research focused on interstate water problems.

Sec. 2010. Grants for construction, refurbishing, and servicing of 
        individual household decentralized wastewater systems for 
        individuals with low or moderate income

    This section creates a grant program that allows non-profit 
organizations to receive funds for the construction, 
refurbishing, and servicing of decentralized wastewater systems 
for low or moderate income households, or groups of such 
households. The program gives priority to households that do 
not have access to sanitary sewer disposal systems. This 
section requires that EPA, two years after the date of 
enactment of this Act, submit a report to Congress on the 
results of the program.
    This section authorizes appropriations for the program of 
$50 million for each fiscal year 2021 and 2022.
    These grants are intended to be used by grantees to improve 
the general welfare of low and moderate income individuals 
without access to wastewater services. Therefore, the Committee 
believes that these funds should not be considered to be 
taxable income of the grantee or any low and moderate income 
individuals assisted by the program.

Sec. 2011. Connection to publicly owned treatment works

    This section creates a grant program that allows the EPA to 
provide grants to publicly owned treatment works or nonprofit 
organizations to cover the costs incurred from connecting a 
household to a municipal or private wastewater system.
    This section authorizes appropriations for the program of 
$40 million for each fiscal year 2021 and 2022.
    These grants are intended to be used to improve the general 
welfare of low and moderate income individuals without access 
to public treatment works. Therefore, the Committee believes 
these funds should not be considered to be taxable income of 
the grantee or any low and moderate income individuals assisted 
by the program.

Sec. 2012. Use of clean water State revolving loan funds

    This section amends the CWA and codifies language carried 
in previous appropriations bills to require a minimum of ten 
percent of the state's CWSRFs to be used for grants, negative 
interest loans, and loan forgiveness, or to buy, refinance or 
restructure debt.
    This section also allows for up to two percent of a state's 
CWSRF to be used to provide technical assistance to small, 
rural and tribal publicly owned treatment works.
    This Committee believes assistance with design and 
engineering of wastewater treatment systems is an eligible use 
of the CWSRFs.

Sec. 2013. Water data sharing pilot program

    This section amends the CWA to require EPA to establish a 
pilot program for states to encourage intrastate and interstate 
information sharing.
    The grant program funds information sharing among 
communities regarding water quality, water infrastructure 
needs, and water technology. A state that is eligible for 
funding has either a coastal watershed that has significant 
pollution levels, a water system with significant pollution 
levels, a substantive wastewater infrastructure deficit, or a 
regional consortia.
    This section also authorizes funds to assist states in the 
creation of multi-state consortiums to exchange water data; 
share information regarding water practices, protocols, 
technologies, and procedures; and establish regional intended 
use plans.
    This section authorizes appropriations for the grant 
program of $15 million for each fiscal year 2022 through 2024.

Sec. 2014. Water infrastructure financing reauthorization

    This section reauthorizes WIFIA through 2024 at the current 
funding level of $50 million annually. This section also 
clarifies existing law that projects eligible for WIFIA 
assistance that are also eligible for scoring under the Federal 
Credit Reform Act (as defined in the 1990 law) are non-Federal 
and eligible for non-cash budgetary scoring.
    This section mitigates widespread concern that the 
Committee has heard on potential new restrictions on WIFIA 
lending beyond what is required under the law.

Sec. 2015. Final rating opinion letters

    This section changes the WIFIA requirement that mandates 
each WIFIA project applicant must provide two final agency 
rating opinion letters. Under this section, project applicants 
will only need to provide one final agency rating opinion 
letter, similar to other programs, prior to final acceptance 
and financing of the project.

Sec. 2016. Reauthorization of clean water State revolving funds

    This section amends the CWA to reauthorize the CWSRF and 
increase the program's authorization to $3 billion over three 
years. This increase is incremental: $2 billion for fiscal year 
2022; $2.5 billion for fiscal year 2023; and $3 billion for 
fiscal year 2024.

Sec. 2017. Wastewater infrastructure discretionary grant program

    This section creates an EPA discretionary grant program for 
publicly owned treatment works. This new program will provide 
priority funding to systems that need assistance coming into 
compliance with federal regulations and laws, or that need 
additional assistance in completing work because of the 
inability to secure sufficient financing through the State 
Revolving Fund.
    The Committee has heard concerns from communities of all 
sizes that loans, loan forgiveness, reverse loans and other 
mechanisms, such as the state revolving loan funds, are 
insufficient to address growing water infrastructure needs. 
This program is being established outside of the CWSRF to 
fulfill this unmet need.
    This section authorizations appropriations for the program 
of $50 million for each fiscal year 2022 through 2024.

Sec. 2018. Small and disadvantaged community analysis

    This section requires EPA to do an analysis of the 
historical distribution of funds to low income, rural, and 
minority communities, as well as communities of indigenous 
peoples, under Safe Drinking Water Act and CWA programs. The 
EPA is also required to analyze new opportunities and methods 
to improve the distribution of funds under these programs to 
those same communities.

Sec. 2019. Stormwater infrastructure technology

    This section creates a grant program to assist research 
institutions, non-profits, and institutions of higher education 
with research on new and emerging stormwater control 
technology. The goal of the program is to improve the 
effectiveness, cost efficiencies, and protections of public 
safety and water quality in their operations. The eligible 
research includes stormwater and sewer overflow reduction, 
project enhancement, and other infrastructure. The section 
authorizes appropriations of $5 million for each fiscal year 
2022 and 2023 to establish Centers of Excellence for stormwater 
control infrastructure and create a public website to share the 
results of the research. This section creates a grant program 
to fund the development of standards, create fee structures, 
and develop and deliver training and educational materials for 
stormwater control for each fiscal year.
    This section authorizes appropriations for this additional 
grant program of $10 million for each fiscal year 2022 and 2023 
at a 20 percent non-federal cost share.

Sec. 2020. Grants to Alaska to improve sanitation in rural and native 
        villages

    This section reauthorizes a program that provides grants to 
the State of Alaska for the benefit of rural and Native 
villages in Alaska for development and construction of public 
water systems and wastewater systems to improve the health and 
sanitation conditions in the villages. This section 
reauthorizes appropriations for the program at current funding 
levels of $40 million for each fiscal year 2021 and 2022.

Sec. 2021. Wastewater infrastructure grants

    This section creates a program that will provide grants to 
support improvements in reducing and removing plastic waste and 
post-consumer materials, including microplastics and 
microfibers, from wastewater. This section authorizes 
appropriations for the program of $10 million for each fiscal 
year 2021 through 2025.

Sec. 2022. Water reuse interagency working group

    This section instructs the EPA to establish a Water Reuse 
Interagency Working Group to develop and coordinate actions, 
tools, and resources to advance water reuse across the United 
States. This includes establishing a Water Reuse Action Plan 
that creates opportunities for water reuse in the mission areas 
of each of the federal agencies. Every two years, the 
Administrator shall publish a report on the activities and 
findings of this Working Group. This group shall sunset in six 
years, unless the Administrator chooses to extend the Working 
Group.

                  TITLE III--TRIBAL AND OTHER MATTERS

Sec. 3001. Tribal partnership program

    This section amends section 203(b)(4) of WRDA 2000 (33 
U.S.C. 2269(b)(4)) to increase the maximum federal share for a 
project, or separable element of a project, from $12.5 million 
to $22.5 million under the tribal partnership program. If the 
cost of the project or separable element exceeds $22.5 million, 
the Secretary may only carry out the initiative if it is 
authorized by Congress in subsequent legislation.

Sec. 3002. Cost sharing provisions for territories and Indian tribes

    This section further extends a provision in WRDA 1986 that 
allows the Corps to adjust for inflation the costs of a project 
for a territory or tribe.

Sec. 3003. Inclusion of Tribal interests in project consultations

    This section requires the Secretary to complete a 
previously authorized study from WIIN 2016 on Corps policies, 
regulations, and guidance related to consulting with Indian 
tribes on water resource development projects that may impact 
tribes.
    In addition, this section requires the Secretary to ensure 
all existing tribal consultation policies, regulations, and 
guidance continue to be implemented, and that consultations 
with federal and state agencies and Indian tribes required for 
a water resources development project are carried out.

Sec. 3004. Indian Irrigation Fund reauthorization

    This section amends section 3212(a) of WIIN 2016 (130 Stat. 
1750; 132 Stat. 3892) to extend deposits into, and expenditures 
from, the Indian Irrigation Fund through fiscal year 2030.

Sec. 3005. Reauthorization of repair, replacement, and maintenance of 
        certain Indian irrigation projects

    This section amends section 3221(b) of WIIN 2016 (130 Stat. 
1751; 132 Stat. 3892) to extend the requirement that the 
Secretary transfer to the Bureau of Indian Affairs at least $35 
million from the Indian Irrigation Fund to carry out 
maintenance, repair, and replacement activities for one or more 
of the Indian irrigation projects eligible under section 3222 
of WIIN 2016 through fiscal year 2030.

Sec. 3006. Grants to ports to reduce emissions from waterborne vessels

    This section authorizes EPA to spend $20 million for each 
fiscal year 2021 and 2022 for grants to reduce emissions from 
waterborne vessels docked at U.S. ports.

Sec. 3007. Mapping and screening tool

    This section requires the EPA Administrator to continue to 
annually update, and make available to the public, the existing 
environmental justice mapping tool (known as EJScreen), or an 
equivalent environmental justice mapping and screening tool.

Sec. 3008. Assessment of coastal water infrastructure vulnerabilities

    This section requires the EPA Administrator, within one 
year of enactment of this Act, to submit a report to Congress 
that assesses the vulnerability of coastal drinking water and 
wastewater infrastructure to sea level rise, storm surge, 
extreme weather, and other flood risks. The report must 
identify states and communities with the most immediate and 
severe risks, and make recommendations for investments and 
other improvements to water infrastructure, to ensure the 
infrastructure's long-term survivability.

Sec. 3009. Report on potential for blue energy at coastal wastewater 
        treatment plants

    This section requires a joint report by the EPA 
Administrator and the Secretary of Energy to evaluate the 
potential use of energy generation technologies based on 
harnessing the salinity differential between freshwater and 
saltwater at coastal wastewater treatment plants and other 
facilities.

Sec. 3010. Great Lakes Restoration Initiative

    This section reauthorizes the Great Lakes Restoration 
Initiative, which provides funding for restoring and protecting 
the Great Lakes through water infrastructure projects, as well 
as ecosystem restoration and invasive species control.
    This section extends the current authorization of 
appropriations through fiscal year 2022 and increases the 
funding authorization to $375 million.

Sec. 3011. San Francisco Bay restoration

    This section creates an estuary partnership for the San 
Francisco Bay Restoration Program, as well as a grant program 
to implement the San Francisco Bay Plan, which is a 
comprehensive conservation and management plan. Under this 
section, the EPA will establish a San Francisco Bay National 
Program Office and appoint a Director to oversee projects,

                          Legislative History

    During the period from April 22, 2020 to May 1, 2020, the 
Committee on Environment and Publics Works conducted an 
information-gathering process entitled, ``An Information-
Gathering Process on Draft Legislation entitled, America's 
Water Infrastructure Act of 2020 and The Drinking Water 
infrastructure Act of 2020: Stakeholder Comments.'' The full 
record of stakeholder comments was subsequently made a part of 
the official record of the May 6, 2020 business meeting by 
unanimous consent.
    On May 4, 2020, Senator Barrasso, Chairman of the Committee 
on Environment and Public Works, introduced S. 3591, America's 
Water Infrastructure Act of 2020. Senators Carper, Capito, and 
Cardin were original cosponsors of the legislation. The bill 
was referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
    On May 6, 2020, the Committee on Environment and Public 
Works conducted a business meeting to consider S. 3591. The 
Committee ordered S. 3591 to be favorably reported with an 
amendment in the nature of a substitute by a unanimous rollcall 
vote of 21 to 0.

                                Hearings

    Since the passage of AWIA 2018, the Committee on 
Environment and Public Works has held five hearings during the 
116th Congress to conduct oversight regarding Corps activities, 
to consider implementation of prior WRDAs, and to hear from 
stakeholders regarding what priorities should be addressed in 
AWIA 2020.
    April 17, 2019, Full Committee Field Hearing: ``Oversight 
Hearing on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Management of the 
2019 Missouri River Basin Flooding.''
    May 8, 2019, Full Committee Field Hearing: ``Oversight 
Hearing of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Civil Works 
Program.''
    August 28, 2019, Subcommittee Hearing: ``Oversight of the 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Management of the Spring 2019 
Missouri River Basin Flooding.''
    September 18, 2019, Full Committee Hearing: ``Improving 
American Economic Competitiveness through Water Resources 
Infrastructure.''
    October 23, 2019, Full Committee Hearing: ``Improving

                             Rollcall Votes

    The Committee on Environment and Public Works met to 
consider S. 3591 on May 6, 2020. The bill, with an amendment in 
the nature of a substitute, was ordered to be favorably 
reported by a rollcall vote of 21 to 0.

Amendments approved

    The following amendment to the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute to S. 3591 was approved by voice vote:
    Barrasso-Carper #1--An amendment that fixes typos and makes 
minor technical changes, additions, and clarifications to 
sections of the underlying substitute amendment; authorizes an 
additional Chief's Report that was received from the Corps; 
calls upon the Corps to deauthorize a specific project, 
expedites an additional project, provides technical assistance 
for a project needing inclusion under section 7001(b) of WRRDA 
2014; makes improvements to the Upper and Lower Missouri River 
comprehensive flood protection studies, as well as that for the 
Great Lakes comprehensive study; helps prevent further 
additions to the backlog of Corps projects through enactment of 
AWIA 2020; increases term flexibility for the financing of 
specified projects by non-federal sponsors; clarifies that the 
definition of ``covered contracts'' under section 1056 of AWIA 
2020 includes those for water supply storage at both federal 
and non-federal hydropower lakes; requires the Secretary to 
offer leases of between twenty-five and fifty years for 
commercial leases under which a lessee has agreed to build 
structures or improve the land; and increases inclusion of 
tribes into specific provisions of AWIA 2020.
    This amendment also includes a new non-federal cost-share 
in the section 2001 Resiliency and Sustainability grant program 
of 10 percent for disadvantaged communities or populations of 
under 10,000; adds language to section 2014, to clarify 
existing law, that projects eligible for WIFIA assistance as 
defined under the statute that are also eligible for scoring 
under the Federal Credit Reform Act (as defined in the 1990 
law) are non-federal and eligible for non-cash budgetary 
scoring, in order to preserve the existing practice of the 
scoring method used for WIFIA projects; adds language in the 
section 2017 Discretionary Grant Program that clarifies the 
provision does not increase states' bonding authority in order 
to prevent scoring issues; clarifies in section 2019 that the 
Centers of Excellence include the ``goal of improving the 
effectiveness, cost efficiencies, and protection of public 
safety and water quality in their operations'', directs the 
inclusion of stakeholder consultation, and allows stormwater 
infrastructure grants to be used not only for developing, but 
also delivering, educational and training materials; creates in 
section 2022 the Water Reuse Interagency Taskforce to allow the 
EPA to coordinate with other agencies and develop a plan for 
water reuse.

Amendments not approved

    The following amendment to the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute to S. 3591 was not approved by voice vote:
    Cramer #2--An amendment to not allow the Secretary to 
require a water supply contract as part of granting water users 
access to project reservoirs for the purpose of appropriating 
natural flow in States located wholly or partly west of the 
98th meridian.

Final committee vote to report

    An amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended by 
Barrasso-Carper #1, was approved, and S. 3591, with the 
amendment in the nature of a substitute, was ordered to be 
favorably reported by a rollcall vote of 21 to 0 (Senators 
Booker, Boozman, Braun, Capito, Cardin, Carper, Cramer, 
Duckworth, Ernst, Gillibrand, Inhofe, Markey, Merkley, Rounds, 
Sanders, Shelby, Sullivan, Van Hollen, Whitehouse, Wicker, and 
Barrasso voted aye).

                      Regulatory Impact Statement

    In compliance with section 11(b) of rule XXVI of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee finds that S. 3591 
does not create any additional regulatory burdens, nor will it 
cause any adverse impact on the personal privacy of 
individuals.

                          Mandates Assessment

    In compliance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
(UMRA) (Public Law 104-4), the Committee notes that the 
Congressional Budget Office found that S. 3591 contains no 
intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the 
UMRA and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal 
governments.

                          Cost of Legislation

    Section 403 of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment 
Control Act requires that a statement of the cost of the 
reported bill, prepared by the Congressional Budget Office, be 
included in the report. That statement follows:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                  Washington, DC, November 4, 2020.
Hon. John Barrasso,
Chairman, Committee on Environment and Public Works,
U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for S. 3591, the America's 
Water Infrastructure Act of 2020.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Aurora 
Swanson.
            Sincerely,
                                         Phillip L. Swagel,
                                                          Director.
    Enclosure.

    [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]
    

    The bill would
           Authorize appropriations for 18 grant 
        programs of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
        to fund clean- water infrastructure projects and 
        programs
           Authorize appropriations for the Army Corps 
        of Engineers to construct 29 new water infrastructure 
        projects
           Authorize appropriations for the subsidy 
        cost of loans made under EPA's Water Infrastructure 
        Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program
           Authorize the Corps to renegotiate the terms 
        of deferred-payment agreements with nonfederal sponsors 
        of eligible Corps projects
    Estimated budgetary effects would primarily stem from
           Spending of amounts authorized to be 
        appropriated to federal agencies
           Losses of revenues from state and local 
        governments' issuance of tax-exempt bonds
           Direct spending of estimated additional 
        budget authority required for certain WIFIA loans
           Direct spending of estimated reduced 
        payments to the Corps for amounts owed by nonfederal 
        sponsors
    Areas of significant uncertainty include
           Projecting the number and size of WIFIA 
        loans that would be awarded to nonfederal entities for 
        federal projects
           Determining whether nonfederal sponsors of 
        Corps projects would successfully renegotiate deferred-
        payment agreements and the duration of those 
        negotiations
    Bill summary: S. 3591 would authorize the Army Corps of 
Engineers to construct projects to restore aquatic ecosystems, 
improve navigation and flood management, and mitigate storm and 
hurricane damage. The bill also would authorize the Corps to 
renegotiate the terms of deferred-payment agreements with 
nonfederal sponsors of eligible projects.\1\ Finally, the bill 
would authorize appropriations for the Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) to provide grants and loans to state and local 
governments, public water systems, nonprofit organizations, and 
other entities to support various water infrastructure projects 
and programs to improve water quality.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\A nonfederal sponsor for a Corps project can be a state or other 
governmental entity, interstate agency, chartered quasi-public 
organization (port authority, flood control district, or conservation 
district), Indian tribe, or nonprofit organization. Project sponsors' 
responsibilities are outlined in legal agreements with the federal 
government.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Estimated Federal cost: The estimated budgetary effect of 
S. 3591 is shown in Table 1. The costs of the legislation fall 
within budget function 300 (natural resources and environment).

    Basis of estimate: For this estimate, CBO assumes that S. 
3591 will be enacted near the beginning of fiscal year 2021, 
that the authorized and estimated amounts will be appropriated 
for each fiscal year, and that spending will follow historical 
patterns for similar projects and programs.
    Direct spending: Using information provided by the Corps 
and EPA, CBO estimates that enacting S. 3591 would increase 
direct spending by $1.2 billion over the 2021-2030 period (see 
Table 2).

    Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act: S. 3591 
would limit the criteria used to determine the budgetary 
treatment of the anticipated net cost or savings of loans or 
loan guarantees made under EPA's Water Infrastructure Finance 
and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program. Under the bill, any 
budgetary impacts would be recorded on an accrual basis if the 
borrower is a nonfederal entity and would be repaying the 
obligation with nonfederal funds. This provision would allow 
the costs or savings for loans to federal projects that meet 
those two criteria to be recorded on an accrual basis. That 
budgetary treatment is not allowed for federal projects under 
current law.
    General provisions of current law (often called the 
recording statute) require the federal budget to be presented 
on a cash basis--that is, the full cost of an activity is to be 
recorded at the time an obligation is made.\2\ The Federal 
Credit Reform Act of 1990 (FCRA), however, generally requires 
the costs of direct loans and loan guarantees to nonfederal 
borrowers to be recorded on an accrual basis, and CBO estimates 
most such costs on the basis of the net present value of the 
cash flows from those loans or loan guarantees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\The principal difference between cash and accrual accounting 
concerns the time at which a commitment (or collection) of budgetary 
resources is recognized. Transactions in cash-based accounting are 
recorded at the time payments are made or receipts are collected. By 
contrast, accrual measures use a single number, the net present value, 
to express a flow of past and future income (or payments) in terms of 
an equivalent lump sum received (or paid) at a specific time. The 
present value depends on the rate of interest (the discount rate) that 
is used to translate future cash flows into current dollars. For a 
discussion, see Congressional Budget Office, Cash and Accrual Measures 
in Federal Budgeting (January 2018), www.cbo.gov/publication/53461.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    However, the status of a borrower as a nonfederal entity 
repaying a loan with nonfederal funds is not a sufficient basis 
for the loan or loan guarantee to receive FCRA treatment under 
current law.\3\ In directing this budgetary treatment under S. 
3591, EPA could make loans and loan guarantees for federal 
projects or assets and record the costs on an accrual basis--
which would be reflected in a subsidy cost--rather than on a 
cash basis, thus understating the initial funding required for 
those commitments.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \3\See Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act Program 
(WIFIA) Criteria Pursuant to the Further Consolidated Appropriations 
Act, 2020, 85 Fed. Reg. 39189 (June 30, 2020), https://go.usa.gov/
xf6mn.
    \4\The subsidy cost is the estimated lifetime cost to the 
government, as measured by discounting all expected future cash flows 
associated with the loan or loan guarantee to a net present value.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The subsidy costs of loans and loan guarantees for the 
WIFIA program are funded through annual appropriations. In 
directing a different budgetary treatment for certain WIFIA 
loans, the bill would cause future loans or loan guarantees to 
be recorded in the budget at a lower cost than is required 
under the recording statute, FCRA, and current practice. CBO 
believes that the difference between the costs on a cash basis 
and on an accrual basis should be recorded as an increase in 
direct spending.
    Using information about projects whose sponsors have 
previously applied for WIFIA loans and the costs of current 
federal projects with nonfederal components, CBO estimates that 
implementing the provision would allow, on average, one federal 
project annually, with an average loan size of $150 million, to 
receive a WIFIA loan, which would be recorded on an accrual 
rather than cash basis.\5\ CBO also estimates that balances 
available for the subsidy costs of WIFIA loans and loan 
guarantees that could be used for projects covered under S. 
3591 would be recorded on an accrual basis as well, increasing 
the upfront costs of those commitments by $75 million. In 
total, CBO estimates, enacting that provision would increase 
direct spending by $929 million over the 2021-2030 period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \5\The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, provided 
subsidy budget authority for the WIFIA loan program but required EPA to 
develop criteria to determine project eligibility and apply those 
criteria for projects selected in the 2020 cohort. CBO estimates that 
those criteria would effectively prohibit EPA from selecting projects 
for WIFIA loans that would receive accrual treatment under S. 3591 but 
cash treatment under current law. CBO expects those criteria to remain 
in place through fiscal year 2021. As a result, CBO estimates that the 
provision would have no effect on direct spending for funds provided in 
that fiscal year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Loss of Nonfederal Payments for Army Corps of Engineers 
Projects: S. 3591 would authorize the Corps, at the request of 
a project's nonfederal sponsor, to renegotiate the terms of 
deferred-payment agreements that meet certain criteria. The 
bill would allow the nonfederal sponsor to discontinue payments 
at the time of the request until the sponsor and the Corps 
reach new terms; the bill provides no limit on the length of 
those negotiations.
    Although the Corps generally requires nonfederal sponsors 
to pay their share of a project's costs while construction 
proceeds, the agency is authorized to enter into deferred-
payment agreements that allow a nonfederal sponsor to defer 
payment for its share of the costs until the project is 
completed. Under such agreements, sponsors would pay the 
nonfederal share of the project's costs and any interest 
accrued during construction, with interest, over a term of up 
to 30 years. In such instances, the Corps uses appropriated 
funds to pay 100 percent of a project's costs as they are 
incurred. For example, after Hurricane Katrina, the Corps 
entered deferred-payment arrangements with nonfederal sponsors 
for projects to protect against storm surges and mitigate 
future risks of flooding.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \6\Nearly 30 other Corps projects to mitigate similar damage in 
areas affected by hurricanes, including Sandy, Harvey, and Maria, are 
eligible for deferred-payment agreements under current law. Nonfederal 
sponsors of some of those projects could enter such agreements and 
could benefit from provisions under the bill. However, because those 
projects are expected to take many years to complete, and because the 
eligibility to renegotiate agreements under the bill requires a project 
to be delayed by at least five years, CBO expects that the budgetary 
effects of renegotiating those agreements would occur after 2030.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Under the bill, projects with deferred-payment agreements 
could be renegotiated if they started on or after September 8, 
2005, and if construction was delayed by five years after the 
expected completion date established by agreement between the 
nonfederal sponsors and the Corps. At least three projects 
could be eligible for renegotiation in the next several years. 
Information from the Corps indicates that amounts outstanding 
for those projects total $2 billion--$1.4 billion for the 
nonfederal share of the projects' costs and $0.6 billion in 
interest accrued during construction.
    Under current law, annual payments for those projects total 
about $114 million. For one possible outcome under the 
provision, CBO assumes that the Corps agrees to renegotiate, 
that the negotiations would take three years, and that the 
interest accrued during construction would be waived under the 
new agreements. The resulting annual payments under the new 
agreements for the principal balance alone would be $82 
million, CBO estimates, and would start in the fourth year 
after enactment. That outcome would reduce offsetting receipts, 
which are recorded in the budget as reductions in direct 
spending, by about $570 million over 10 years. That total is 
derived from a reduction in offsetting receipts of $342 million 
during the years of negotiations ($114 million annually for 
three years) because payments would be suspended, and about $32 
million annually thereafter (the difference of $114 million and 
the new payment of $82 million).
    A different outcome is possible under the deferred-payment 
provision, however, because explicit completion dates are not 
provided in the project partnership agreements. On that basis, 
the Corps could determine that no project would be eligible 
because a delay, as defined by the bill, could not be 
established and therefore the agency would not renegotiate any 
agreements and there would be no loss of receipts.
    For this estimate, CBO assumes that those two outcomes are 
equally possible. After accounting for uncertainties about 
whether the negotiations would occur, how long they would take, 
and how much of the outstanding obligations would be waived, 
CBO estimates that enacting S. 3591 would decrease offsetting 
receipts, which are recorded as increases in direct spending, 
by $286 million over the 2021-2030 period. That amount assumes 
that the two budgetary outcomes each have a probability of 50 
percent: zero under an outcome in which no project would be 
eligible and $570 million if all projects are eligible. After 
2030, CBO estimates, additional decreases in offsetting 
receipts from those agreements would total about $330 million.
    Other Corps Provisions: CBO estimates that enacting other 
provisions of S. 3591 would decrease offsetting receipts by $14 
million (thus increasing direct spending) over the 2021-2030 
period. The bill would direct the Corps of Engineers to limit 
charges for water storage at a hydropower lake in the Arkansas 
River Basin for contracts negotiated before the end of 2022; 
waive amounts owed by a nonfederal sponsor for a harbor project 
in False Pass, Arkansas; and reduce prices charged to low-
income communities for water storage.
    Revenues: The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation 
(JCT) expects that some of the funds authorized to be 
appropriated under S. 3591 for grants to state revolving funds 
and for loans to eligible entities under the WIFIA program 
would be used by state and local governments to leverage 
additional funds. Those entities would issue tax-exempt bonds 
that JCT estimates would reduce federal revenues by $717 
million over the 2021-2030 period, as shown in Table 1.
    Spending subject to appropriation: S. 3591 would authorize 
the appropriation of $18.3 billion over the 2021-2030 period. 
Assuming appropriation of that amount, CBO estimates that the 
bill would cost $16.3 billion over the same period (see Table 
3).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Components may not sum to totals because of rounding; EPA = Environmental Protection Agency.

    Environmental Protection Agency Programs: S. 3591 would 
specifically authorize the appropriation of about $10 billion 
over the 2021-2025 period to fund grant programs and 
administrative activities at EPA. Assuming appropriation of 
that amount plus amounts needed for other required activities, 
CBO estimates that implementing the provisions would cost $7.5 
billion over the 2021-2025 period and about $2.5 billion after 
2025.
    Grants. S. 3591 would authorize appropriations for 18 grant 
programs to fund a variety of clean-water infrastructure 
projects. The bill would extend or increase the authorizations 
for 6 existing grant programs and direct EPA to implement 12 
new programs. In total, S. 3591 would authorize about $9 
billion in appropriations over the 2021-2025 period:
           $7.5 billion for grants to states through 
        the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program;
           $1 billion for grants to states to support 
        municipal stormwater projects, alternative water source 
        projects, innovative stormwater control projects, and 
        wastewater efficiency projects;
           $455 million for grants to support research 
        on preventing and reducing pollution; for nonprofit 
        entities to provide technical assistance to publicly 
        owned small, rural, or tribal water treatment works; 
        for nonprofit entities and publicly owned treatment 
        works to help connect certain households to publicly 
        owned water treatment works; and for pilot programs in 
        workforce training for the water treatment industry; 
        and
           $150 million for competitive grants for 
        wastewater infrastructure projects.
    Using information from EPA and historical information on 
spending for similar programs, CBO estimates that implementing 
those provisions would cost about $6.6 billion over the 2021-
2025 period and about $2.4 billion after 2025.
    Other Specified Authorizations. S. 3591 also would 
authorize appropriations for other EPA programs totaling $948 
million over the 2021-2025 period:
           $625 million for programs to protect and 
        restore the Great Lakes and Puget Sound;
           $165 million for the subsidy costs of loans 
        under EPA's WIFIA program; and
           $158 million for program offices at Lake 
        Tahoe and San Francisco, EPA's National Estuary 
        Program, and to support responses to aquatic invasive 
        species.
    Using information from EPA and historical information on 
spending, CBO estimates that implementing those provisions 
would cost $807 million over the 2021-2025 period and $133 
million after 2025.
    Other Costs. In addition, EPA would incur administrative 
costs to establish and operate some of the programs authorized 
under S. 3591 because generally the agency is not authorized to 
cover those costs using grant funds. Using information from EPA 
about similar programs, CBO estimates that the agency would 
require about 20 additional employees, at a cost of $180,000 
each, to develop and administer the programs. CBO estimates 
that the total cost would be about $16 million over the 2021-
2025 period and $6 million after 2025.
    S. 3591 would require EPA to conduct various analyses and 
issue reports and to establish an interagency working group on 
water reuse. It also would expand the duties of EPA's municipal 
ombudsman. CBO estimates that implementing those provisions 
would cost $5 million over the 2021-2025 period and $4 million 
after 2025.
    Army Corps of Engineers Water Resources Infrastructure: 
After accounting for anticipated inflation, CBO estimates that 
implementing provisions of the bill that would authorize the 
Corps to construct 29 new water infrastructure projects would 
cost about $3.1 billion over the 2021-2030 period. Those 
provisions would authorize the Corps to construct projects 
aimed at restoring aquatic ecosystems, mitigating hurricane and 
storm damage, strengthening flood risk management, and 
improving the nation's navigation system.
    Using information from the Corps, CBO estimates that the 
total cost to complete those projects would be $7.9 billion; 
the federal share of those costs would total $5.1 billion and 
nonfederal entities would be responsible for the remaining $2.8 
billion. About 60 percent of those amounts would be spent over 
the 2021-2030 period and the rest would be spent after 2030.
    The estimated cost of four projects authorized by the bill 
total $3.9 billion, which is 50 percent of the total for 
authorized projects:
           $1.4 billion to mitigate flood risk in 
        Norfolk, Virginia, by constructing storm surge 
        barriers, oyster reefs, and other natural barriers to 
        reduce beach erosion and provide protection from 
        hurricanes;
           $880 million to improve commercial 
        navigation by widening and deepening portions of the 
        Houston, Texas, ship channel;
           $860 million to restore ecosystems in the 
        Mississippi River Basin to control upstream transfer of 
        Asian carp and other aquatic nuisance species into the 
        Great Lakes and the Chicago Area Waterway System in 
        Illinois; and
           $740 million to restore freshwater 
        ecosystems and wetlands within the Loxahatchee River 
        Watershed in Florida to improve water supply and 
        provide flood protection.
    To estimate the pace of spending of funds authorized for 
those projects, CBO used information from the Corps about 
projects' starting dates and expected duration and the amounts 
necessary to complete projects within the anticipated 
schedules. CBO also analyzed the historical patterns of 
spending on similar projects. Because of their size and 
complexity, some large Corps projects can take several years to 
begin and more than a decade to complete. CBO estimates that 
the federal share of the projects authorized by this title 
would require appropriation of about $4.5 billion over the 
2021-2030 period; the remainder of the federal share would be 
needed after 2030.
    Continuing Authorities and Other Programs: S. 3591 would 
authorize the appropriation of $2.9 billion for the Corps to 
carry out continuing authorities and other programs. Under the 
Corps' continuing authorities, certain types of water resources 
projects can be implemented without explicit Congressional 
authorization if they are limited in cost, size, and scope. 
Some authorizations would be annual, some would be annual 
increases above existing authorization amounts, and some would 
be onetime authorizations to be spent over several years. CBO 
estimates that implementing those authorities and programs 
would cost about $2.3 billion in total over the 2021-2030 
period:
           $1.3 billion ($130 million annually) to 
        study, construct, or enlarge water storage projects in 
        rural communities with populations of less than 1 
        million;
           $576 million for continuing authorities to 
        construct projects for flood control; to improve 
        navigation; to protect aquatic habitats, wetlands, and 
        property from storm damage; to mitigate environmental 
        damage from Corps projects; and to control shoreline 
        erosion and restore beaches;
           $435 million for programs to operate 
        watercraft inspection stations between the United 
        States and Canada and to form partnerships with local 
        stakeholders to develop plans and implement projects to 
        control and eradicate aquatic invasive species;
           $225 million for nonfederal partners to 
        conduct feasibility studies and construct projects, to 
        mitigate risks from flood and storm surges, improve 
        harbor and inland navigation, and restore ecosystems;
           $190 million to construct surface-water 
        protection projects in rural areas, to plan and 
        construct projects to rehabilitate fish and wildlife 
        habitat in the Rio Grande Basin, to construct 
        restoration projects in the Chesapeake Bay region, and 
        to extinguish flowage easements held by the Corps at 
        Rough River Lake, Kentucky;
           $150 million to rehabilitate flood control 
        pumping stations that operate in conjunction with Corps 
        projects and to construct projects to mitigate the risk 
        of impairment to a federal lock or dam from sediment, 
        rock formation, or shallow water; and
           $70 million to complete reports authorized 
        by the Congress and to conduct inspections for aging 
        water infrastructure projects owned or operated by a 
        federal agency.
    Other Projects and Studies: S. 3591 would authorize 
feasibility studies, research projects and reports. The 
legislation also would extend the authority for the Bureau of 
Indian Affairs to maintain Indian irrigation projects and 
authorize the Corps to implement other projects. CBO estimates 
that implementing this set of provisions would cost about $809 
million over the 2021-2030 period:
           $171 million to complete modification 
        reports for environmental infrastructure projects and 
        assist nonfederal partners to construct projects 
        including those in Desoto and Jackson Counties in 
        Mississippi and Madison and St. Claire Counties in 
        Illinois and in South Central Pennsylvania; Sacramento, 
        California; and Lakes Marion and Moultrie, South 
        Carolina;
           $153 million for comprehensive studies on 
        mitigating flood risks in the Upper and Lower Missouri 
        River, mitigating risks from hurricanes and storms 
        along the Mississippi River, assessing the effects on 
        flooding and navigation of changing the form of the 
        Lower Missouri River, and addressing shoreline 
        protection and resiliency in the Great Lakes;
           $135 million to repair an embankment in 
        Waco, Texas; support water resources research; and 
        maintain a high-risk dam on Lowell Creek in Seward, 
        Alaska;
           $133 million to develop strategies to 
        control noxious weeds on federal land controlled by the 
        Corps and to eliminate Asian carp in the Mississippi 
        River; to construct projects in the Great Lakes and 
        Lake Okeechobee, Florida; to eliminate harmful algal 
        blooms; to provide technical assistance to improve 
        water quality affected by abandoned mines; and to 
        relocate access to a confined disposal facility in the 
        Great Lakes region;
           $121 million for more than 40 feasibility 
        studies, reports, and evaluation of future projects and 
        for plans to manage sediment, improve subsurface 
        drainage systems, reallocate water supplies, and 
        prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species;
           $84 million to coordinate with the 
        Appalachian Regional Commission on design and 
        construction of projects for securing water supplies, 
        treating wastewater, and developing surface water in 
        central Appalachia;
           $71 million to extend the authority of the 
        Treasury to deposit $35 million for each of the years 
        2029 and 2030 into the Indian Irrigation Fund and to 
        authorize the appropriation of those amounts and 
        interest credited to the fund for maintaining Indian 
        irrigation projects owned and operated by the Bureau of 
        Indian Affairs; and
           $45 million to reauthorize the Denali 
        Commission in Alaska to work with other federal 
        agencies, Indian tribes, and state and local 
        governments to support economic development and to 
        maintain Alaska's infrastructure, such as energy, 
        transportation, and health facilities.
    Uncertainty: Although all of the estimated budgetary 
effects of this bill are subject to uncertainty, the estimates 
of two provisions are particularly uncertain.
    Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act: The number 
of loans and amount of those loans provided under WIFIA to 
support federal projects under S. 3591 could be higher or lower 
than CBO estimates. If no loans were awarded for such projects 
or if the loan amounts were lower than CBO estimates, the 
estimated costs to implement the provision would be lower or 
possibly zero. By contrast, if WIFIA loans were awarded for 
more federal projects or if the loan amounts were higher than 
CBO estimates, the costs of implementing the provision could be 
hundreds of millions of dollars above CBO's estimate.
    Nonfederal Payments for Army Corps of Engineers Projects: 
Whether nonfederal sponsors would successfully renegotiate 
payment agreements under S. 3591, how much would be waived, and 
how long the negotiations would take is uncertain. If the Corps 
determines that no project agreements meet the eligibility 
criteria the estimated costs to implement the provision would 
be zero. If nonfederal sponsors successfully renegotiate those 
agreements, if the amount waived is higher or lower than 
assumed, or if it takes more or less than three years as 
assumed, the costs could be higher or lower than CBO's 
estimate.
    Pay-As-You-Go Considerations: The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go 
Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement 
procedures for legislation affecting direct spending or 
revenues. The net changes in outlays and revenues that are 
subject to those pay-as-you-go procedures are shown in Table 4.

    Increase in long-term deficits: CBO estimates that enacting 
S. 3591 would not increase on-budget deficits by more than $5 
billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods 
beginning in 2031.
    Mandates: None.
    Previous CBO estimates: Since October 2019, CBO has 
transmitted six cost estimates for legislation containing 
provisions that are similar to or identical to provisions in S. 
3591. Other than the estimate for H.R. 7575, all were for bills 
reported by the House Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure. The dates and titles are as follows:
           On July 29, 2020, the statutory pay-as-you-
        go effects of H.R. 7575, the Water Resources 
        Development Act of 2020, as posted on the website of 
        the Clerk of the House on July 28, 2020;
           On May 12, 2020, H.R. 1497, the Water 
        Quality Protection and Job Creation Act of 2019, as 
        reported on October 29, 2019;
           On November 14, 2019, H.R. 1132, the San 
        Francisco Bay Restoration Act, as ordered reported on 
        September 19, 2019;
           On November 14, 2019, H.R. 2247, the PUGET 
        SOS Act, as ordered reported on September 19, 2019;
           On October 2, 2019, H.R. 4031, the Great 
        Lakes Restoration Initiative Act of 2019, as ordered 
        reported on September 20, 2019; and
           On October 2, 2019, H.R. 4044, the Protect 
        and Restore America's Estuaries Act, as ordered 
        reported on September 20, 2019.
    The basis for those estimates and the estimates for S. 3591 
are the same. Differences in estimated budgetary effects 
reflect differences among the bills' provisions.
    Estimate prepared by: Federal costs: Aurora Swanson (Water 
Resources), Stephen Rabent (Environmental Protection Agency); 
Federal Revenues: Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation;

SEC. 217. DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL FACILITY PARTNERSHIPS.

  (a) Additional Capacity or Replacement Capacity.--
          [(1) Provided by secretary.--At the request of a non-
        Federal interest with respect to a project, the 
        Secretary may provide additional capacity at a dredged 
        material disposal facility constructed by the Secretary 
        beyond the capacity that would be required for project 
        purposes if the non-Federal interest agrees to pay, 
        during the period of construction, all costs associated 
        with the construction of the additional capacity.]
          (1) Provided by secretary.--
                  (A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), 
                at the request of a non-Federal interest with 
                respect to a project, the Secretary may--
                          (i) provide additional capacity at a 
                        dredged material disposal facility 
                        constructed by the Secretary beyond the 
                        capacity that would be required for 
                        project purposes; or
                          (ii) permit the use of dredged 
                        material disposal facility capacity 
                        required for project purposes by the 
                        non-Federal interest if the Secretary 
                        determines that replacement capacity 
                        can be constructed at the facility or 
                        another facility or site before such 
                        capacity is needed for project 
                        purposes.
                  (B) Agreement.--Before the Secretary takes an 
                action under subparagraph (A), the non-Federal 
                interest shall agree to pay--
                          (i) all costs associated with the 
                        construction of the additional capacity 
                        or replacement capacity in advance of 
                        construction of such capacity; and
                          (ii) in the case of use by a non-
                        Federal interest of dredged material 
                        disposal capacity required for project 
                        purposes under subparagraph (A)(ii), 
                        any increase in the cost of operation 
                        and maintenance of the project that the 
                        Secretary determines results from the 
                        use of the project capacity by the non-
                        Federal interest in advance of each 
                        cycle of dredging.
                  (C) Credit.--In the event the Secretary 
                determines that the cost to operate or maintain 
                the project decreases as a result of use by the 
                non-Federal interest of dredged material 
                disposal capacity required for project purposes 
                under subparagraph (A)(ii), the Secretary, at 
                the request of the non-Federal interest, shall 
                credit the amount of the decrease toward any 
                cash contribution of the non-Federal interest 
                required thereafter for construction, 
                operation, or maintenance of the project, or of 
                another navigation project.
          (2) Cost recovery authority.--The non-Federal 
        interest may recover the costs assigned to the 
        additional capacity under paragraph (1)(A)(i) through 
        fees assessed on third parties whose dredged material 
        is deposited at the facility and who enter into 
        agreements with the non-Federal interest for the use of 
        the facility. The amount of such fees may be determined 
        by the non-Federal interest.

        capacity facility or site.--
                  (A) In general.--Subject to such terms and 
                conditions as the Secretary determines to be 
                necessary or advisable, an agreement under 
                paragraph (1)(B) for use permitted under 
                paragraph (1)(A)(ii) shall reserve to the non-
                Federal interest--
                          (i) the right to submit to the 
                        Secretary for approval at a later date 
                        an alternative to the facility or site 
                        designated in the agreement for 
                        construction of replacement capacity; 
                        and
                          (ii) the right to construct the 
                        replacement capacity at the alternative 
                        facility or site at the expense of the 
                        non-Federal interest.
                  (B) Requirement.--The Secretary shall not 
                reject a site for the construction of 
                replacement capacity under paragraph (1)(A)(ii) 
                that is submitted by the non-Federal interest 
                for approval by the Secretary before the date 
                of execution of the agreement under paragraph 
                (1)(B), or thereafter, unless the Secretary--
                          (i) determines that the site is 
                        environmentally unacceptable or 
                        technically unsound; and
                          (ii) provides a written basis for the 
                        determination under clause (i) to the 
                        non-Federal interest.

                  (A) measure and include flooding, erosion, 
                and accretion damages both upstream and 
                downstream of the reservoir that are likely to 
                occur as a result of sediment management within 
                the reservoir compared to the damages that are 
                likely to occur if the sediment management plan 
                is not implemented; and
                  (B) include lifecycle costs and a 100-year 
                period of analysis.
          (5) Implementation.--As part of a sediment management 
        plan under paragraph (2), the Secretary may carry out 
        sediment removal activities at reservoirs owned and 
        operated by the Secretary in the Upper Missouri River 
        Basin, or at reservoirs for which the Secretary has 
        flood control responsibilities under section 7 of the 
        Act of December 22, 1944 (commonly known as the `Flood 
        Control Act of 1944') (58 Stat. 890, chapter 665; 33 
        U.S.C. 709), in the Upper Missouri River Basin, in

        Development Act of 1986 (100 Stat. 4148; 121 Stat. 
        1076) as if those reservoirs were listed in subsection 
        (a) of that section.
          [(4)] (6) Prioritization of sediment management 
        plans.--In carrying out the pilot project under this 
        subsection, the Secretary shall give priority to 
        developing and implementing sediment management plans 
        that affect reservoirs that cross State lines.
          [(5)] (7) Cost Share.--The beneficiaries requesting a 
        sediment management plan shall share in the cost of 
        development and implementation of the plan and such 
        cost shall be allocated among the beneficiaries in 
        accordance with the benefits to be received.
          [(6)] (8) Contributed funds.--The Secretary may 
        accept funds from non-Federal interests and other 
        Federal agencies to develop and implement a sediment 
        management plan under this subsection.

  Sec. 4. [16 U.S.C 460d] The Chief of Engineers, under the 
supervision of the Secretary of the Army, is authorized to 
construct, maintain, and operate public park and recreational 
facilities at water resource development projects under the 
control of the Department of the Army, to permit the 
construction of such facilities by local interests 
(particularly those to be operated and maintained by such 
interests), and to permit the maintenance and operation of such 
facilities by local interests. The Secretary of the Army is 
also authorized to grant leases of lands, including structures 
or facilities thereon, at water resource development projects 
for such periods, and upon such terms and for such purposes as 
he may deem reasonable in the public interest: [Provided,] 
Provided, That a lease for commercial concession purposes, 
under which the lessee has agreed to build structures or 
facilities on, or to otherwise improve, the land that is 
subject to the lease, shall be for a period of not more than 50 
years and, unless the Secretary of the Army and the lessee 
agree otherwise, not less than 25 years: Provided further, That 
leases to nonprofit organizations for park or recreational 
purposes may be granted at reduced or nominal considerations in 
recognition of the public service to be rendered in utilizing 
the leased premises: Provided further, That preference shall be 
given to federally recognized Indian tribes and Federal, State, 
or local governmental agencies, and licenses or leases where 
appropriate, may be granted without monetary considerations, to 
such Indian tribes or agencies for the use of all or any 
portion of a project area for any public purpose, when the 
Secretary of the Army determines such action to be in the 
public interest, and for such periods of time and upon such 
conditions as he may find advisable: And provided further, That 
in any such lease or license to a federally recognized Indian 
tribe Federal, State, or local governmental agency which 
involves lands to be utilized for the development and 
conservation of fish and wildlife, forests, and other natural 
resources, the licensee or lessee may be authorized to cut 
timber and harvest crops as may be necessary to further such 
beneficial uses and to collect and utilize the proceeds of any 
sales of timber and crops in the development, conservation, 
maintenance, and utilization of such lands. Any balance of 
proceeds not so utilized shall be paid to the United States at 
such time or times as the Secretary of the Army may determine 
appropriate. The water areas of all such projects shall be open 
to public use generally for boating, swimming, bathing, 
fishing, and other recreational purposes, and ready access to 
and exist from such areas along the shores of such projects 
shall be maintained for general public use, when such use is 
determined by the Secretary of the Army not to be contrary to 
the public interest, all under such rules and regulations as 
the Secretary of the Army may deem necessary, including but not 
limited to prohibitions of dumping and unauthorized disposal in 
any manner of refuse, garbage, rubbish, trash, debris, or 
litter of any kind at such water resource development projects, 
either into the waters of such projects or onto any land 
federally owned and administered by the Chief of Engineers. Any 
violation of such rules and regulations shall be punished by a 
fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment for not more than 
six months, or both. Any persons charged with the violation of 
such rules and regulations may be tried and sentenced in 
accordance with the provisions of section 3401 of title 18 of 
the United States Code. All persons designated by the Chief of 
Engineers for that purpose shall have the authority to issue a 
citation for violation of the regulations adopted by the 
Secretary of the Army, requiring the appearance of any person 
charged with violation to appear before the United States 
magistrate, within whose jurisdiction the water resource 
development project is located, for trial; and upon sworn 
information of any competent person any United States 
magistrate judge in the proper jurisdiction shall issue process 
for the arrest of any person charged with the violation of said 
regulations; but nothing herein contained shall be construed as 
preventing the arrest by any officer of the United States, 
without process of any person taken in the act of violating 
said regulations. No use of any area to which this section 
applies shall be permitted which is inconsistent with the laws 
for the protection of fish and game of the State in which such 
area is situated. All moneys received by the United States for 
leases or privileges shall be deposited in the Treasury of the 
United States as miscellaneous receipts.
