  (a) In General.--In carrying out repair or maintenance activity of a 
Federal jetty or breakwater associated with an authorized navigation 
project, the Secretary shall, notwithstanding the authorized dimensions 
of the jetty or breakwater, ensure that such repair or maintenance 
activity is sufficient to meet the authorized purpose of such project, 
including ensuring that any harbor or inland harbor associated with the 
project is protected from projected changes in wave action or height 
(including changes that result from relative sea level change over the 
useful life of the project).
  (b) Classification of Activity.--The Secretary may not classify any 
repair or maintenance activity of a Federal jetty or breakwater carried 
out under subsection (a) as major rehabilitation of such jetty or 
breakwater--
          (1) if the Secretary determines that--
                  (A) projected changes in wave action or height, 
                including changes that result from relative sea level 
                change, will diminish the functionality of the jetty or 
                breakwater to meet the authorized purpose of the 
                project; and
                  (B) such repair or maintenance activity is necessary 
                to restore such functionality; or
          (2) if--
                  (A) the Secretary has not carried out regular and 
                routine Federal maintenance activity at the jetty or

authorized dimensions of the structure or project, to a level 
sufficient to meet the authorized purpose of such structure or project, 
whichever provides greater protection, when, in the discretion of the 
Chief of Engineers, such repair and restoration is warranted for the 
adequate functioning of the structure or project for hurricane or shore 
protection, including to ensure the structure or project is functioning 
adequately to protect against projected changes in wave action or 
height or storm surge (including changes that result from relative sea 
level change over the useful life of the structure or project), subject

                         PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION

    The purpose of H.R. 7776, the Water Resources Development 
Act of 2022, as amended, is to authorize the United States Army 
Corps of Engineers (Corps) to carry out water resources 
development activities for the nation, usually through cost-
shared partnerships with non-Federal sponsors. Activities 
include projects or studies to address river and coastal 
navigation, the reduction of flood and hurricane storm damage 
risks, shoreline protection, water supply and conservation, the 
restoration and protection of ecosystems and the environment, 
and disaster response and recovery.
    H.R. 7776, as amended, enhances the Corps' responsibility 
to address the long-term resiliency of Corps' projects, 
addresses the accessibility and affordability of Corps' 
projects for economically disadvantaged, rural, and Tribal 
communities, enhances the dialogue between the Corps and Indian 
Tribes and other indigenous peoples in addressing local water 
resources challenges, assesses the condition of Corps' dams and 
levees in addressing current water resources needs and 
challenges, and modernizes aspects of the Corps' project 
development structure. H.R. 7776, as amended, also authorizes 
new, or modifies existing, water resources project and study 
authorities to address local water resources infrastructure 
needs.

                  BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION

    America enjoys an unparalleled network of natural harbors 
and rivers. The ports, channels, locks, dams, and other 
infrastructure that support our maritime and waterways 
transportation system and provide flood protection for our 
homes and businesses are vitally important to a healthy 
national economy, job growth, and global competitiveness. 
Ensuring a sound infrastructure network is a shared 
responsibility, with Federal and state roles recognized by our 
Founding Fathers.
    The Water Resources Development Act of 2022 (WRDA 2022), as 
amended, promotes the Federal commitment to our nation's 
competitiveness, prosperity, and economic growth by maintaining 
strong maritime transportation infrastructure, ensuring the 
efficient flow of domestic and international commerce, 
protecting the lives and livelihoods of the American people in 
a sustainable manner, and ensuring the restoration and 
protection of the nation's environment.
    Through WRDA, Congress authorizes the key missions of the 
Corps, including developing, maintaining, and supporting the 
nation's economically vital waterway infrastructure and 
supporting effective and targeted flood protection and 
environmental restoration needs. WRDA also provides Congress 
the opportunity to implement critical policy reforms and 
strengthen oversight.
    Since 2014, the Committee has returned to regular 
consideration of Water Resources Development Acts once each 
Congress. WRDA 2022 continues the WRDA two-year cycle that 
provides appropriate oversight of, and policy direction to, the 
Administration and the Corps, including bipartisan changes to 
how the Corps carries out vital coastal and inland flood risk 
reduction projects and addresses both the resiliency and 
affordability of future water resources development projects.

WRDA Improves U.S. Water Resources Infrastructure

    WRDA 2022, as amended, authorizes the study and 
construction of locally driven projects that were developed in 
cooperation and consultation with the Corps. These projects are 
key to preserving our nation's economy, to protecting our local 
economies and communities, and to maintaining our quality of 
life--for the current and future generations.
    WRDA 2022, as amended, continues the tradition of 
authorizing construction of Reports of the Chief of Engineers 
(Chief's Reports) submitted to Congress. Chief's Reports are 
the final recommendations of the Chief of the U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers on rigorously studied water resources 
infrastructure priorities. WRDA 2022, as amended, authorizes 
construction of 16 pending Corps' Chief's Reports that have 
been submitted to Congress since the enactment of the Water 
Resources Development Act of 2020.
    WRDA 2022, as amended, also provides authority for the 
Corps to study and plan for future water resources development 
projects to address local water resources challenges. 
Specifically, H.R. 7776 authorizes several new feasibility 
studies for water resources development projects, including 
those identified through the public review process established 
by section 7001 of the Water Resources Reform and Development 
Act of 2014.
    Finally, WRDA 2022, as amended, authorizes new and modifies 
existing authority for the design and construction of 
environmental infrastructure in specified municipalities, 
counties, and states. This assistance supports publicly owned 
and operated facilities, such as water distribution works, 
stormwater collection, surface water protection projects, and 
environmental restoration, among others.

WRDA Builds More Resilient Communities and Addresses Affordability 
        Challenges

    Most of the Corps' facilities and infrastructure were 
constructed in the early to mid-1900s. For example, 
approximately 95 percent of the dams managed by the Corps are 
more than 30 years old, and half have reached or exceeded their 
50-year project lives. As noted in testimony before the 
Committee last Congress,\1\ much of our water resources related 
infrastructure is reaching the end of its usable life and has 
not been maintained or updated to address the water resources 
challenges facing our communities today; and that challenge has 
not dramatically changed in the last two years. Similarly, in 
many areas of the country, there is no comprehensive management 
of the inter-related systems of dams, levees, and other 
structures that protect residents and their economy within a 
watershed--a complexity that can be compounded by observed 
changes in the frequency and severity of weather events, 
precipitation patterns, and drought, as well as competing 
interests wishing to explore the modification of existing 
infrastructure to address flood risk in coordination with 
comprehensive floodplain management, the use of natural or 
nature-based alternatives, and habitat restoration.\2\

Director, Center for Disaster Resilience, A. James Clark School of 
Engineering, University of Maryland; testimony of Ann C. Phillips, Rear 
Admiral, U.S. Navy (Retired), Special Assistant to the Governor of 
Virginia for Coastal Adaptation and Protection; and testimony of 
Melissa Samet, Senior Water Resources Counsel, National Wildlife 
Federation before the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure,

February 8, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Stakeholders also expressed their support to partner with 
the Corps on projects and studies that will address the long-
term resiliency of communities, including communities facing 
challenges posed by extreme weather. The Committee heard from 
several witnesses and Members of Congress on the water 
resources challenges facing many States and local governments, 
including the increased frequency and severity of coastal 
storms, inland flooding, and drought events, but also on the 
promise of considering novel ways to address these challenges 
while also addressing local priorities and ensuring the long-
term resiliency of communities.\3\

Natural Resources, State of California; testimony of the Honorable 
Michael Bechtel, Mayor, City of Morgan's Point, Texas; testimony of Jim

testimony of Julie Hill-Gabriel, Vice President for Water Conservation 
and Acting Vice President for Coastal Conservation, National Audubon 
Society, Hearing on ``Proposals for a Water Resources Development Act 
of 2022: Stakeholder Priorities,'' February 8, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Committee also received testimony on the challenges 
facing a broad spectrum of communities, including underserved, 
urban, rural, and tribal communities in addressing local water 
resources challenges.\4\ The difficulty that certain 
communities face in addressing local water resources challenges 
was echoed in testimony the Committee received in the 
formulation of WRDA 2022. For example, one Tribal chairman 
contrasted the financial differences between Indian Tribes and 
traditional non-Federal interests in financing water resources 
development projects and noted that ``tribal communities do not 
have the same mechanisms to generate or receive tax benefits or 
otherwise use bonding capacity . . . or the benefit of 
assessing impact fees on developers to help fund [WRDA] 
projects.''\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \4\In the Water Resources Development Act of 2020, Congress 
authorized several new authorities aimed at addressing the needs of 
underserved communities, including urban, rural, and tribal 
communities, under the concept of ``economically disadvantaged 
communities.'' Section 160 of the Water Resources Development Act of 
2020 directed the Corps to further define this term utilizing the 
criteria under paragraph (1) or (2) of section 301(a) of the Public 
Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3161), which 
utilizes low per capita income (80 percent or less of the national 
average) and high unemployment as a metric for determining eligibility. 
The Committee notes that the Corps has not completed its rulemaking to 
define this term as required by section 160 of the Water Resources 
Development Act of 2020.

Yaqui Tribe, Tucson, Arizona, Hearing on ``Proposals for a Water 
Resources Development Act of 2022: Stakeholder Priorities,'' February

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    WRDA 2022, as amended, includes several provisions aimed at 
addressing the resiliency, affordability, and process for 
evaluating future water resources development projects.

WRDA Increases Coordination with Tribal, Minority, and Indigenous 
        Communities

    During the formulation of WRDA 2022, the Committee received 
testimony from two Tribal chairmen, who discussed their 
experiences in working with the Corps to address water 
resources needs of Indian Tribes. In the testimony of the 
Chairman of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, the 
Honorable Darrell Seki noted that communication between the 
Tribes and the Corps ``vary widely from very straight forward 
and cordial to nearly non-existent.''\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \6\See Testimony of the Honorable Darrell Seki, Chairman, Red Lake 
Band of Chippewa Indians, Hearing on ``Proposals for a Water Resources 
Development Act of 2022: Stakeholder Priorities,'' February 8, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    WRDA 2022, as amended, includes several new provisions 
aimed at addressing the water resources challenges faced by 
Indian Tribes and other indigenous people of the United States 
(including Native Hawaiians), such as requiring the Corps to 
establish a Tribal Liaison at each District Office of the 
Corps, as well as to ensure that all indigenous people of the 
United States are able to participate under section 1156 of the 
Water Resources Development Act of 1986.

Other Policy Matters

    The transformative nature of the last four WRDA bills on 
the Corps' Civil Works Program has provided the Corps and the 
non-Federal interests (sponsors) with a tremendous number of 
new opportunities for advancing projects more quickly. The 
Committee expects the Corps to continue to issue implementation 
guidance on the new provisions contained in this bill in an 
expeditious and transparent manner, and where appropriate, to 
solicit the views of, and consult with, a wide array of 
stakeholders in the formulation of implementation guidance.
    However, the Committee remains concerned that several 
provisions from prior WRDAs remain unimplemented in accordance 
with Congressional intent. For example, the Committee has 
received requests related to delayed implementation of the 
following enacted provisions: section 110 of WRDA 2020 related 
to implementation of water resources principals and 
requirements; section 112(a) of WRDA 2020 related to reports to 
Congress on Corps' tribal and minority community engagement; 
section 125(a) and (b) of WRDA 2020 related to the beneficial 
use of dredged material; section 128 of WRDA 2020 related to 
implementation of a demonstration program to control and 
prevent harmful algal blooms; section 147 of WRDA 2020 related 
to the repair and restoration of embankments (with particular 
focus on Waco Lake, Lake Shore Drive and the City of Waco); and 
section 160 of WRDA 2020 related to the issuance of Corps 
guidance to define the term ``economically disadvantaged 
community.'' The Committee directs the Corps to provide a 
bipartisan briefing to Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure staff within the next 90 days on the status of 
these provisions, and any other unimplemented WRDA provision 
enacted by Congress since 2014.
    The Committee received WRDA requests related to the Corps' 
use of its existing authority to perform advance maintenance of 
the nation's Federally authorized navigation channels. These 
channels are essential to keeping the international supply 
chain open and operating efficiently during this period of 
economic recovery. The Corps is strongly urged to make optimum 
use of available authorities to ensure that these waterways are 
adequately maintained and able to accommodate global shipping 
needs and generate economic benefits during this critical time. 
The use of advance maintenance can be particularly impactful in 
channels with high shoaling areas. Over time these areas 
naturally silt in and are especially vulnerable to the advent 
of more intense storms, and repeated advance maintenance 
efforts may be necessary to guard against depth reductions 
which can lead to draft restrictions for larger global vessels. 
The Corps is encouraged to maintain Federal channels at their 
approved advance maintenance depth.
    The Committee continues to receive requests from Members of 
Congress and non-Federal interests to explore opportunities to 
utilize forecast informed reservoir operations (FIRO) in 
addressing local water resources needs. Section 303 of WRDA 
2022 includes additional locations to an existing pilot program 
to utilize FIRO at Corps owned and operated dams. The Committee 
urges the Corps to ensure that sufficient budgetary resources 
are allocated to FIRO projects to more fully utilize this 
process in appropriate situations and to provide for the update 
of existing water operations control manuals to incorporate 
FIRO at reservoirs identified on the comprehensive list 
developed by the Corps.
    The Committee received several requests related to the 
potential modification of lock and dam structures on the inland 
waterways system to allow for remote operations, including 
concerns with the vulnerability of remote operations to cyber-
attacks and the potential impact of remote operations on 
current Corps' employees. The Committee reminds the Secretary 
that section 222(b)(1)(B)(V) of WRDA 2020 set forth a security 
framework for studies carried out by the Corps. Results from 
that effort should be used to address cyber security concerns 
for Corps structures, particularly locks and dams, that utilize 
remote supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) type 
products for automation control systems as part of the Corps' 
national security interests. The Committee asks to be kept 
abreast of these activities by briefings, reports, or other 
updates. The Committee recognizes that remote lock operations 
along commercial and recreational waterways can increase the 
availability and capacity of the locks, especially in lower-use 
waterways, and can support other economic drivers in counties 
throughout America. The Committee has received a request to 
consider potential expansion of remote operations to additional 
locations, such as in the Upper Allegheny Locks in Armstrong 
County, Pennsylvania. However, the Committee also reminds the 
Secretary of recent Congressional action to statutorily declare 
Corps' lock and dam employees as inherently governmental and 
directs the Secretary to report to the Committee on any 
potential workforce impacts of any proposed automation and 
remote operations activity before they are carried out, and to 
ensure that any recommendations in a completed study will not 
result in the loss of jobs for current lock and dam employees.
    The Committee is aware that the Corps utilizes a wide range 
of platforms, sensors, and other technologies to conduct a 
range of research and monitoring activities, including the use 
of uncrewed platforms and sensor packages. The Committee 
encourages the Secretary, in coordination with the Corps' 
Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), to consider 
establishing an Uncrewed Systems Innovation Center to ensure 
the appropriate development and utilization of innovative 
uncrewed technologies, including autonomous, remotely operated 
airborne, terrestrial, and maritime vehicle systems.
    In each of the last few WRDAs, Congress has directed the 
Corps to make greater use of natural and nature-based features 
and other measures to advance resilient solutions through all 
the Corps' business lines. However, despite this clear 
direction from Congress to ensure that future water resources 
development projects are designed and constructed to address 
local water resources challenges in a more resilient and 
sustainable manner, the Committee received testimony from 
stakeholders that these enacted provisions are not being fully 
implemented by the Corps.\7\ In response, the Committee 
received multiple requests for Congress to establish a 
Resilience Directorate within the Office of the Chief of 
Engineers that would be tasked with ensuring efficient and 
coordinated planning across Corps business lines to take 
advantage of existing programs, authorities, and operations to 
leverage natural systems alone and in concert with structural 
solutions to protect communities from flooding; to formulate 
resilience solutions for the most at-risk communities; and to 
maximize project co-benefits, including improved water quality, 
increased groundwater recharge, and restored wildlife habitat. 
While the Committee ultimately did not include statutory 
language directing the creation of such a position, the 
Committee continues to support the resiliency provisions 
contained in this legislation and prior enacted WRDAs, and 
encourages the Corps to develop and implement strategies to 
infuse resilient solutions and best management practices into 
all Army Corps activities, studies, projects, and project 
operations, as well as, where appropriate, to increase the use 
of natural and nature-based solutions and the restoration and 
protection of natural systems including floodplain and coastal 
wetlands, in addressing local water resources challenges.

Water Conservation and Acting Vice President for Coastal Conservation, 
National Audubon Society; and testimony for the record submitted by 
Eileen Shader, Director of River Restoration, American Rivers, Hearing 
on ``Proposals for a Water Resources Development Act of 2022: 
Stakeholder Priorities,'' February 8, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Section 102 of WRDA 2022 authorizes the Secretary to repair 
or restore a shore protection project or structure beyond the 
original design level of the project under its P.L. 84-99 
authority. The Committee received a request to authorize the 
construction of enhancements to improve the performance of the 
Grand Isle and Vicinity, Louisiana Beach Erosion and Hurricane 
Protection Project, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, and the 
Committee directs the Secretary to review this request 
considering the changes to the P.L. 94-99 authority under 
section 102.
    Section 1111 of WRDA 2018 authorizes the Secretary to carry 
out a pilot program to award coastal navigation operation and 
maintenance contracts for work at multiple harbors in the same 
geographic region if the Secretary determines that the contract 
provides cost savings compared to the awarding of such work on 
a project-by-project basis. The Committee received a request to 
create a similar authority for a regional dredge partnership in 
the San Francisco Bay region. The Committee directs the 
Secretary to consider utilizing the authority provided in 
section 1111 of WRDA 2018 for interested non-Federal interests 
in the San Francisco Bay region. Similarly, the Committee 
received requests to utilize the expansion of this pilot 
program to inland waterways (enacted by section 125(d) of WRDA 
2020) in relation to the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River 
Navigation System project. The Committee directs the Secretary 
to consider utilizing this authority for an inland waterways 
dredge pilot partnership along the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas 
River Navigation System.
    The Committee received requests from Members of Congress 
who represent districts containing the projects for navigation, 
Suisun Bay Channel (Slough), California, and San Francisco Bay 
to Stockton, California, to ensure that no funds or provisions 
are authorized within WRDA 2022 to undertake a study to 
deauthorize these projects. The Committee does not intend any 
funds or provisions contained in this legislation to authorize 
the Corps to deauthorize these projects.
    Section 401(5)(1) of WRDA 2020 authorized construction of 
the Delta Islands and Levees Ecosystem Restoration Project, 
California. The Committee is aware that the non-Federal 
interests for the project believe there may be opportunities to 
beneficially use dredged materials associated with this 
project, and the Committee directs the Corps to examine and 
report to the Committee on such opportunities. The Committee 
also directs the Secretary to issue a report to the Committee 
on whether the Long-Term Management Strategy for the Placement 
of Dredged Material in the San Francisco Bay has been updated 
to reflect changes to the beneficial use of dredged material 
program in Section 125 in WRDA 2020.
    The Committee is aware that the Corps has been partnering 
with the County of Ventura, California, to implement the Santa 
Paula Creek Flood Control Project. Although project 
construction is nearly complete, a significant weather event 
damaged the facility, delaying its transfer to the County. The 
County has also been seeking a workable management plan for the 
project. The Committee urges the Corps to work with the County 
of Ventura to turn over a fully functional project repaired to 
design conditions, and address concerns about a workable 
Operation, Maintenance, Repair, Replacement, and Rehabilitation 
(OMRR&R) Manual.
    As part of the Isabella Lake Dam Safety Modification 
Project in Kern County, California, the Corps is building the 
U.S. Forest Service a new visitor center to replace a facility 
that was demolished due to this project. The Committee notes 
discussion on this visitor center started a decade ago and 
urges the Corps to expeditiously bring the visitor center to 
fruition. Specifically, the Committee directs the Corps to 
identify a location for the visitor center, including 
considering additional locations not previously evaluated, and 
update environmental reviews and documents as appropriate.
    The Committee directs the Corps to develop a strategy in 
consultation with the Indian Wells Valley Groundwater Authority 
and the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake to resolve water 
supply needs and eliminate overdraft in the Indian Wells Valley 
groundwater basin in California. This strategy shall develop 
measures needed to provide water supply resiliency in the basin 
and for the critical Federal defense assets that overlie it, 
including, but not limited to, importation of water, 
construction needs, rights of way, estimated costs, and 
projected future growth both on and off-base in the basin. The 
Corps is directed to provide this strategy to the House 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate 
Committee on Environment and Public Works within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act.
    The Success Reservoir Enlargement Project was authorized by 
section 101(b)(4) of the Water Resources Development Act of 
1999 to improve both flood damage protection and water supply 
in Tulare County, California. In House Report 116-460, the 
Committee previously encouraged the Corps to advance this 
project.\8\ The Committee again notes its support for this 
project and continues to encourage the Corps to expedite this 
project through completion.

    The Committee received a request related to public safety 
at federally authorized hurricane and storm damage reduction 
projects, such as the project at Cape May Beach in Cape May, 
New Jersey. The Committee encourages the Secretary to work with 
the State of New Jersey, the non-Federal sponsors of similar 
hurricane and storm damage reduction projects in the region, 
and other interested stakeholders and public safety officials 
to examine whether the rate of head, neck, and spine injuries 
sustained at Cape May Beach as reported by the New Jersey 
Department of Health and the City of Cape May Beach Patrol is 
similar to or differs from those reported at other federally 
authorized projects in the region.
    The Port Fourchon, Belle Pass Channel, Louisiana, 
navigation project was authorized in the Water Resources 
Development Act of 2020, featuring as a key component 100 
percent beneficial use disposal of project dredge material. The 
Committee is encouraged that progress has been made between the 
Corps and the non-federal sponsor in designating a beneficial 
use disposal site that will meet National Economic Development 
goals, as well as satisfy the local community's need for 
beneficial use disposal at impacted coastal areas. The Corps is 
expected to provide the non-federal sponsor with a revised 
Project Management Plan (PMP), delineating tasks and costs 
associated with addressing remaining conditions contained in 
the Port Fourchon, Belle Pass Channel, Louisiana authorization, 
including a revised dredge material disposal plan that will 
designate the beneficial use disposal site. As such, the 
Committee directs the Secretary to negotiate and complete a PMP 
that is satisfactory to the Secretary and the non-federal 
sponsor, including the selection of a beneficial use disposal 
site agreed upon by the non-federal sponsor, by the end of 
fiscal year 2022.
    The Committee understands Miami-Dade County, Florida 
currently has five active Corps projects underway and that with 
the exception of one project all of these projects are managed 
by the Jacksonville District. The Committee received a request 
to consolidate the management of all active Miami-Dade County 
water resource projects into the Jacksonville District. The 
Committee encourages the Corps to transfer project management 
of the Miami-Dade Back Bay Coastal Storm Risk Feasibility 
Management from the Norfolk District to the Jacksonville 
District.
    The Committee is aware that many existing water resources 
development projects were designed and constructed to meet the 
unique needs of the region, including the utilization of 
internal mechanisms and engineered parts that are specific to 
the project in which they are utilized. While this fact 
highlights the engineering capability of Corps employees to 
address local water resources challenges, it does create 
challenges in having a readily available supply of replacement 
parts for certain Corps projects. For example, the Committee 
was made aware of the need for replacement parts for the 
Hurricane Barrier at New Bedford, Massachusetts. The non-
Federal interest for this project believes there is currently 
no stock of parts available to replace critical components of 
the Hurricane Barrier. This results in the potential for a 
broken part to keep the barrier open or closed for a period 
long enough for a replacement to be fabricated and replaced. 
The Committee shares the concern that it is in the best 
interests of local communities and the nation that adequate 
replacement parts for critical water resources projects be 
readily available. The Committee directs the Secretary to 
review the process by which the Corps acquires or maintains a 
supply of replacement parts for critical water resources 
development projects and to report to the Committee on its 
recommendations for either maintaining that supply or 
potentially seeking to standardize replacement parts for Corps 
projects to ensure their continued and reliable operation and 
maintenance in the future.
    The Committee is aware of ongoing local efforts to remove 
the Gorge Dam in Akron, Ohio, and how removal of this obsolete 
structure and associated contaminated sediments will contribute 
toward delisting of the Cuyahoga River Area of Concern. 
Currently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is 
taking the Federal lead on dam removal and remediation 
activities, funded in part by the Great Lakes Restoration 
Initiative (GLRI). The Committee recognizes the expertise that 
the Corps can bring to removal of a project, such as the Gorge 
Dam, and encourages the Secretary to support ongoing EPA 
efforts for the removal of the dam and associated contaminated 
sediments.
    The Committee is concerned with the speed at which the 
Corps has responded to questions submitted for the record at 
formal Committee hearings and encourages the Corps to 
expeditiously complete and transmit to the Committee the 
answers to questions from Members of Congress. In particular, 
the Committee requests a full accounting of the total number 
and dollar value of awards or contracts to small business 
concerns in the last five years. The Committee encourages the 
Corps to ensure that it responds to Congressional questions for 
the record of Committee hearings within the time requested by 
the Chair of the Committee.
    The Committee directs the Corps to finalize and implement 
guidance on the use of local data in the study and planning of 
water resources development projects pursuant to section 112(a) 
of WRDA 2020. Further, the Committee encourages the use of 
local data and predictive models, when verifiable, that are 
more stringent than Corps standards and that these datasets 
should be considered as alternate sources of climate risk 
information. In many cases, local information may be more 
specific to the location, or more recently updated than that of 
the Corps. The Corps should strive to make use of the best 
available (and verifiable) data related to water resources 
development projects, even if that data is provided by a non-
Federal interest.
    The Committee remains concerned about the impacts of 
drought to the nation's water supply, including the current 
drought in the State of California and other arid States. In 
WRDA 2020, section 221 directed the Corps to submit a report to 
Congress on the benefits and consequences of including water 
supply and water conservation as a primary mission of the 
Corps. The Committee directs the Corps to prioritize and 
expedite completion of this report.
    In section 209 of WRDA 2020, Congress authorized a 
comprehensive study of the Sacramento River, Yolo Bypass, 
California to identify actions to be undertaken by the 
Secretary for the comprehensive management of the Yolo Bypass 
System. The Committee is aware that the State of California is 
currently working on a Yolo Bypass Master Plan that is not yet 
final; however, the Committee encourages the Corps to utilize, 
to the maximum extent practicable, the State's Yolo Bypass 
Master Plan in carrying out section 209 of that Act.
    The Committee continues to support efforts for the 
beneficial use of sediment obtained from the construction and 
operation of Corps' water resources development projects. The 
Committee is aware of ongoing scientific research into the use 
of nutrient-rich dredged materials as a potential source of 
fertilizer for plant growth. The Committee encourages the 
Corps, through its Engineer Research and Development Center 
(ERDC), to undertake an assessment on the beneficial use of 
sediment for such purposes, including an assessment of whether 
such use is cost-effective, sustainable, and safe for human 
health and the environment.
    The Committee received a request related to completion of 
the Comite Diversion project, Louisiana, authorized as part of 
the project for flood control, Amite River and Tributaries, 
Louisiana, pursuant to section 101(11) of the Water Resources 
Development Act of 1992 (106 Stat. 4802; 110 Stat. 3709; 113 
Stat. 321). The Committee directs the Secretary and any other 
relevant agencies to take all steps necessary to ensure 
completion of the project as quickly as possible. The Committee 
requests, within 90 days of the date of the filing of this 
report, that the Secretary provide the Committee with a 
briefing on the status of completion of the project.
    The Committee is aware of ongoing efforts by the Secretary 
to repair levees adjacent to Offutt Air Force Base, Omaha, 
Nebraska, that were damaged by the 2019 spring flooding in the 
Missouri River basin. The Committee requests the Secretary to 
provide the Committee with a briefing on ongoing efforts to 
complete this work, in a timely manner, and to ensure that 
rebuilt flood control infrastructure is incorporated with 
enhanced resiliency to address future flooding events.
    The Committee received several requests related to water 
resources development project and study requests that are fully 
authorized but are awaiting the necessary funds to be carried 
out and are awaiting completion. The Committee urges the Corps 
to prioritize and expedite completion of the following
