PURPOSE
The purpose of this bill is to provide appropriations for
fiscal year 2025, beginning October 1, 2024 and ending
September 30, 2025, for energy and water development, and for
other related purposes. It supplies funds for water resources
development programs and related activities of the Corps of
Engineers' Civil Works program in Title I; for the Department
of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation and Central Utah
Project in Title II; for the Department of Energy's energy
research and development activities, including environmental
restoration and waste management, and the atomic energy defense
activities of the National Nuclear Security Administration in
Title III; and for independent agencies and commissions,
including the Appalachian Regional Commission, Delta Regional
Authority, Denali Commission, Northern Border Regional
Commission, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Title IV.
Subcommittee Hearings
To develop this recommendation, the Committee held two
budget hearings in May 2024 in connection with the fiscal year
2025 budget requests. The hearings provided officials from the
agencies with an opportunity to present the administration's
most pressing priorities to the Committee.
INTRODUCTION
The Committee's recommendation includes funding for the
highest priority activities across the agencies funded in the
bill. The recommendation includes funds for critical water
infrastructure, including our Nation's inland waterways, ports,
and harbors; agricultural water supply and drought relief in
the West; groundbreaking scientific research and development,
including world-class supercomputing; support for the Nation's
nuclear weapons, non-proliferation, and nuclear Navy programs;
and critical economic development.
FEDERAL TRUST AND TREATY RESPONSIBILITIES
The Committee reminds the agencies funded in this act of
the obligation to uphold the Federal trust and treaty
responsibilities to Tribes and Federal obligations to the
Native Hawaiian Community. This includes upholding treaty and
reserved rights, and any other rights and obligations under
Federal law; supporting self-determination efforts by Native
communities; fulfilling obligations under Presidential
Memoranda and Executive Orders; and conducting early and robust
government-to-government consultation with Tribes, and
meaningful outreach and engagement with Native Hawaiians.
TITLE I
CORPS OF ENGINEERS-CIVIL
DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
Corps of Engineers--Civil
Overview of Recommendation
The Committee recommends $10,344,934,000 for the Corps of
Engineers [Corps]. The Committee's recommendation sets
priorities by supporting our Nation's water infrastructure.
INTRODUCTION
The Corps' Civil Works mission is to provide quality,
responsive engineering services to the Nation in peace and war.
Approximately 26,000 civilians and about 240 military officers
are responsible for executing the Civil Works mission. This
bill only funds the Civil Works functions of the Corps.
The Corps maintains our inland waterways, keeps our ports
open, manages a portion of our drinking water supply, provides
emission-free electricity from dams, restores aquatic
ecosystems, looks after many of our recreational waters, helps
manage the river levels during flooding, provides environmental
stewardship, and emergency response to natural disasters. The
annual net economic benefit generated by the Corps' Civil Works
mission is estimated to be $268,000,000,000, which equates to a
return of about $39.90 for every dollar expended.
The Corps' responsibilities include:
--Navigation systems, including 13,000 miles of coastal
navigation channels, 12,000 miles of inland waterways,
237 lock chambers, and 1,072 harbors, which handle over
2.4 billion tons of cargo annually;
--Flood risk management infrastructure, including 745 dams,
13,000 miles of levees, and multiple hurricane and
storm damage risk reduction projects along the coast;
--Municipal and industrial water supply storage at 136
projects spread across 26 States;
--Environmental stewardship, infrastructure, and ecosystem
restoration;
--Recreation for approximately 266 million recreation visits
per year to Corps projects;
--Regulation of waters under Federal statutes; and
--Maintaining hydropower capacity of over 24,000 megawatts at
75 projects.
ADVANCED FUNDS AGREEMENTS
Under the advanced funds authority, the Corps is authorized
to accept, from a State or political subdivision thereof, all
funds covering both the Federal and non-Federal share of total
project costs required to construct an authorized water
resources development project or separable element thereof.
Based on the non-Federal sponsor's commitment to provide all
funds required to construct a project, or separable element
thereof, the Corps may undertake construction of the project
prior to a new start determination related to Federal funding
for the project. In light of a non-Federal sponsor's commitment
to provide all funding required for construction of the
project, or separable element thereof, the Committee directs
that Federal funds shall not be provided for such construction.
Instead, for such projects, any Federal funding may be provided
only after completion of construction, as repayment of the
Federal share of such construction, from funding provided in
this or subsequent acts for reimbursements or repayments, and
would be subject to a new start designation. The Committee does
not intend that this direction apply to any project with an
advanced funds project partnership agreement that was in place
prior to December 20, 2019.
BENEFICIAL USE OF DREDGED MATERIAL
The Committee has repeatedly encouraged the Corps to
implement beneficial use of dredged material as part of the
construction and maintenance of our Nation's waterways. The
Committee applauds the Corps efforts to increase beneficial use
across the enterprise; however, the process remains slow and
primarily focused on operation and maintenance activities and
authorities. The Corps is directed to continue implementing
measures that support beneficial use and ensure annual
maintenance dredging of deep-draft navigation channels.
BUDGET STRUCTURE CHANGES
The fiscal year 2025 budget request for the Corps proposed
numerous structural changes, including an account for the
Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund [HMTF], the shifting of various
studies and projects between accounts and business lines, and
the consolidation of certain line items. The Committee rejects
all such proposed changes and instead recommends funding for
the requested studies and projects in the manner in which
funding has traditionally been provided. Unless expressly
noted, the Committee recommends studies and projects remain at
the funding levels included in the budget request, but in
different accounts than in the budget request. In particular:
--Projects requested in the HMTF account are shown in the
Construction, Mississippi River and Tributaries, or
Operation and Maintenance accounts, as appropriate;
--Dam safety modification studies requested in the
Investigations and Mississippi River and Tributaries
accounts are shown in the Dam Safety and Seepage/
Stability Correction Program in the Construction
account;
--Disposition studies will continue to be funded under the
remaining item line Disposition of Completed Projects
in the Investigations account;
--Dredged material management plans requested in the
Investigations account are shown in the Operation and
Maintenance account;
--Interagency and International Support activities is not
consolidated within the Coordination with Other Water
Resource Agencies remaining item in Investigations;
--Inspection of Completed Works, Project Condition Surveys,
and Scheduling of Reservoir Operations will continue to
be funded under States instead of consolidated into a
national program as requested in the Operation and
Maintenance account and the HMTF account;
--Inspection of Completed Works will continue to be funded
under the individual States instead of consolidated
into a national program as requested in the Mississippi
River and Tributaries account; and
--Tribal Partnership projects will continue to be funded
under the Tribal Partnership Program remaining item
line in the Investigations account as well as in the
remaining item line in the Construction account, and
these amounts may also be used to cover necessary
administrative expenses prior to agreement execution.
If the Corps proposes budget structure changes in future
fiscal years, the proposal shall be accompanied by a display of
the funding request in the traditional budget structure.
CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING
The Committee included congressionally directed spending,
as defined in section 5(a) of rule XLIV of the Standing Rules
of the Senate. The Committee funded only projects and studies
that are authorized by law. In the interest of providing full
disclosure of funding recommended in this Title, all projects
requested and funded are listed in a table accompanying this
report. All of the projects funded in this report have gone
through the same rigorous process and approvals as those
proposed by the President.
The work funded through congressionally directed spending
has been authorized by Congress and was requested by project
sponsors and local communities, displaying the importance of
the work to the American people. Consequently, the Corps is
directed to continue prioritizing these ongoing studies and
projects, both in the work plan and future budget requests.
CONTINUING CONTRACTS
The Corps is authorized by section 621 of title 33, United
States Code to execute Civil Works projects through the use of
a Special Continuing Contract for Civil Works Projects Clause
as described in Engineer Circulars 11-2-221 and 11-2-222, and
the Limitation of Government's Obligation Clause [DFARS
252.232-7007]. This permits the Corps to award the entire
contract and fund the contract incrementally until completion,
regardless of the perceived applicability of OMB Circular A-11.
This acquisition strategy is well-suited to large, multi-year
projects, including those with life safety, national security,
or legal concerns. The Corps is directed to use its existing
continuing contract authorities in accordance with the general
provisions in this act for construction projects that cost
share with the Inland Waterways Trust Fund [IWTF] and dam
safety projects unless as of the date of enactment of this act
there is ongoing construction utilizing different contracting
methods. For projects authorized for multiple facilities, this
shall be considered for each facility independently.
CONTINUING RESOLUTION APPORTIONMENT
For the purposes of continuing resolutions starting in
fiscal year 2018, the Office of Management and Budget changed
the longstanding policy by which funding is apportioned to the
Civil Works program of the Corps. Under the new policy, funding
within an individual account was apportioned separately for
amounts from the general fund of the Treasury and from various
trust funds. The Committee has long intended the Corps to have
the flexibility to address projects most in need of funding
under a continuing resolution. The creation of artificial
accounting distinctions has the potential to cause serious
impediments to the efficient and effective implementation of
the Civil Works program. For example, work on many navigation
projects is limited by environmental or other regulatory
windows. Further limitations imposed by separately apportioning
HMTF monies could cause serious disruptions to the economic
activity that depends on these navigation channels.
For these reasons, the Committee disagrees with the change
in apportionment policy and directs the Administration to
follow the previous policy during any continuing resolutions
that may occur in this or any future fiscal years.
ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
The authorities identifying economically disadvantaged
communities allow for a reduced, more manageable non-Federal
cost share, providing a vital tool for assisting these
communities. The execution of these authorities will require a
greater Federal cost share. In the work plan and future budget
requests, the Corps is directed to provide the Committee with a
list of studies and projects with adjusted cost share using
this definition and the applicable cost share.
HARBOR MAINTENANCE TRUST FUND
The CARES Act (Public Law 116-136) made certain changes to
the methods by which funds from the HMTF are treated under
discretionary budget rules. This funding enables the Corps to
make significant progress on the backlog of dredging needs,
which is essential to maintaining national competitiveness in
international markets, advancing economic development and
domestic job creation. Unfortunately, the budget request this
year fails to adequately fund our Nation's harbors. The
Committee is disappointed the fiscal year 2025 budget request
only proposes to spend $1,726,000,000 for HMTF-related
activities, which is $1,361,000,000 below the spending target
of $3,087,000,000 established by the CARES Act.
Additionally, Water Resources Development Act [WRDA] of
2020 made certain changes to the methods by which funds for
donor and energy transfer ports under section 2106(c) of the
Water Resources Reform and Development Act [WRRDA] of 2014 are
treated under discretionary budget rules. The Committee
recommends $60,000,000 for donor and energy transfer ports.
INLAND WATERWAYS SYSTEM
The inland waterways system is essential for national
security and for sustaining our global economic competitiveness
as it serves as an integral component of the Nation's
intermodal transportation system. Waterways are more efficient
compared to alternative forms of freight transportation because
barge transport allows for the movement of more cargo per
shipment. Barges on the inland system transport many
commodities including coal, petroleum, grain, and other farm
products. The Committee remains disappointed and perplexed by
the budget request's proposal to not spend any of the estimated
deposits in the IWTF. The importance of modernizing inland
waterway infrastructure is essential to the Nation's economy.
Congress continues to invest in inland waterway projects
and funded all ongoing work to full capability in fiscal year
2024. All inland waterway projects funded in this act shall be
funded with 35 percent of the costs of construction,
replacement, rehabilitation, and expansion of inland waterways
derived from the IWTF.
INVASIVE CARP
The Corps is undertaking multiple efforts to stop invasive
carp from reaching the Great Lakes. The Committee notes that
Congress authorized a comprehensive suite of measures to
counter invasive carp at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam,
critical to keeping invasive carp out of the Chicago Area
Waterways System, which is the only continuous connection
between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Basins. Further,
Congress also authorized demonstration projects to prevent the
spread of invasive carp into the Tennessee River and Cumberland
River watersheds, and the Committee looks forward to continued
progress on these demonstration projects.
As the Corps prioritizes projects, it shall consider
critical projects to prevent the spread of invasive species.
The Corps is directed to provide quarterly updates to the
Committee on the progress and status of efforts to prevent the
further spread of invasive carp, including the Brandon Road
Recommended Plan and the second array at the Chicago Sanitary
and Ship Canal; the location and density of carp populations;
the use of emergency procedures previously authorized by the
Congress; the development, consideration, and implementation of
new technological and structural countermeasures; and progress
on preconstruction, engineering, and design work.
The Corps shall continue to collaborate at levels
commensurate with previous years with the U.S. Coast Guard, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the State of Illinois, and
members of the Invasive Carp Regional Coordinating Committee,
including identifying navigation protocols that would be
beneficial or effective in reducing the risk of vessels
inadvertently carrying aquatic invasive species, including
invasive carp, through the Brandon Road Lock and Dam in Joliet,
Illinois. Any findings of such an evaluation shall be included
in the quarterly briefings to the Committees. The Corps is
further directed to implement navigation protocols shown to be
effective at reducing the risk of entrainment without
jeopardizing the safety of vessels and crews. The Corps and
other Federal and State agencies are conducting ongoing
research on additional potential invasive carp solutions. The
Corps is directed to provide to the Committee not later than 30
days after enactment of this act a briefing on such navigation
protocols and potential solutions.
ADDITIONAL FUNDING
The Committee recommends funding above the budget request
that either was not included in the budget request or was
inadequately budgeted. A study or project may not be excluded
from evaluation for additional funding due to its inconsistency
with administration policy. None of the funds may be used for
any item for which the Committee has specifically denied
funding.
The Administration is reminded these funds are in addition
to its budget request, and Administration budget metrics shall
not be a reason to disqualify a study or project from being
funded. The focus of the allocation process shall favor the
obligation, rather than the expenditure, of funds for work in
fiscal year 2025.
Funding associated with each category of Additional Funding
may be allocated, as appropriate, to any eligible study or
project within that category; funding associated with each
subcategory may be allocated only to eligible studies or
projects, within that subcategory.
Work Plan.--Not later than 60 days after the date of
enactment of this act, the Corps shall provide to the Committee
a work plan consistent with the following general guidance, as
well as the specific direction the Committee provides within
each account: (1) a detailed description of the rating
system(s) developed and used to evaluate studies and projects;
(2) delineation of how these funds are to be allocated; (3) a
summary of the work to be accomplished with each allocation,
including phase of work and the study or project's remaining
cost to complete (excluding Operation and Maintenance); and (4)
a list of all studies and projects that were considered
eligible for funding but did not receive funding, including an
explanation of whether the study or project could have used
funds in fiscal year 2025 and the specific reasons each study
or project was considered less competitive for allocation of
funds.
The Administration shall not delay apportioning the funding
for congressionally directed spending while developing the work
plan for additional funding. The initiation of construction of
an individually authorized project funded within a programmatic
line item shall not require a new start designation if some
amount of construction funding under such programmatic line
item was appropriated and expended during the previous fiscal
year. The Committee urges the Corps within its Flood and
Coastal Storm Damage Reduction mission to strive for a balance
between inland and coastal projects. The Committee notes uneven
representation in the President's Budget Request of the needs
of unique water challenges faced by the non-contiguous States
and territories. The Corps is encouraged to assess the unique
needs of non-contiguous States and territories arising from
their isolation, geographical features, and unique socio-
economic character when providing additional funding. The Corps
is encouraged to support opportunities to restore critical
habitat and enhance the Nation's economic development, job
growth, and international competitiveness. The Corps is
reminded of the consideration it is to provide to remote and
subsistence harbor projects per 33 U.S. Code 2242.
New Starts.--The Committee includes new starts in
Investigations and Mississippi River and Tributaries. The
recommendation also includes one new start in Investigations.
Of the new starts in Investigations, one shall be for a multi-
purpose study authorized in WRDA 2022 that includes water
supply as part of the authority. No further new starts are
recommended in this act. The Corps is directed to propose a
single group of new starts as a part of the work plan. The
Corps may not change or substitute the new starts selected once
the work plan has been provided to the Committee.
The following shall not require a new start or new
investment decision and shall be considered ongoing work:
--To initiate work on a separable element of a project when
construction of one or more separable elements of that
project was initiated previously;
--Study or construction activities related to individual
projects authorized under section 1037 of WRRDA;
--Any authorized environmental infrastructure project;
--Work undertaken to correct a design deficiency on an
existing Federal project; and
--Projects that have previously received construction funding
for authorized work.
REPORTING REQUIREMENT
The Corps shall provide a quarterly report to the
Committee, which includes the total budget authority and
unobligated balances by year for each program, project, or
activity, including any prior year appropriations. The
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) shall provide a
quarterly report to the Committee, which includes the total
budget amount and unobligated balances by year for salaries,
travel, and other expenses funded in the Office of the
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) account,
including any prior year appropriations. The Assistant
Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) shall provide a detailed
plan no later than 90 days after enactment of this act which
includes future funding needs for upgrading the cost management
systems so that this report can be automated by fiscal year
2026.
REPROGRAMMING
The Committee is retaining the reprogramming legislation
provided in the Energy and Water Development and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-94).
UPDATED CAPABILITIES
Given the nature of the Civil Works program, the Committee
understands the assumptions made in the budget request
regarding the amount of work that can be accomplished in fiscal
year 2025 for a particular project can change for a number of
unforeseen reasons. The Committee expects updated capabilities
will be addressed and adjusted using the latest data available
at that time.

Funded in another account.
Funded in remaining items.
*Includes funds requested in Projects Listed Under States within this
account.
Arkansas Red River Chloride.--The Committee rejects the
budget request to fund a disposition study of this project.
Bird Drive Basin Conveyance, Seepage Collection, and
Recharge.--The Committee encourages the Corps to work with the
Department of the Interior and the South Florida Water
Management District to quickly identify a consensus project
footprint between SW 8th Street and the C-1W Canal to the
south, immediately east of Krome Avenue. This work is intended
to enable Miami-Dade County and MDX to begin necessary land
acquisitions in support of the creation of a West Kendall
Everglades Buffer and progress towards completing this
important element of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration
Plan.
Cahokia Heights & East St. Louis, Illinois.--The Committee
supports the ongoing Flood Hazard Analysis in the Piat Place
and Lower Harding Ditch area of Cahokia Heights and East St.
Louis, Illinois. The Committee understands the analysis will be
completed in 2025 and encourages the Corps to continue to fund
this work under Flood Plain Management Services.
Central and South Florida Project.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of the Central and South Florida
Project and urges the Corps to maintain continued attention to
the need of the South Florida economy and environment for a
functioning flood control system.
Chicago Shoreline.--The Committee reiterates the WRDA 2020
Conference Report, which requires the Chicago Shoreline to be a
focus area of the Great Lakes Coastal Resiliency Study.
Disposition Studies.--The Corps speculates that cost
savings can be derived from reductions of project operation and
maintenance or divestiture of assets no longer providing
benefits that warrant continued Federal investment. The
Committee has generally supported these efforts through the
funding of disposition studies but is frustrated with the lack
of progress since originally funding this effort in 2016. A
disposition study shall not be initiated or continued without a
non-Federal entity willing to assume ownership or
responsibilities for an asset, otherwise resources are used to
complete a study with no actionable way to divest the asset.
The Corps is encouraged to consider revisions to policy that
only recommends disposition studies that have been individually
authorized and have a signed letter of intent from a non-
Federal entity to assume ownership of the asset. Within 60 days
of enactment of this act, the Corps shall brief the Committee
on such proposed policy revisions.
Inventory of Dams-Low-Head Dam Inventory.--The Committee is
pleased with the Corps' initial efforts to develop a low-head
dam inventory and recommends additional funding of $800,000 to
continue database development.
Planning Assistance to States.--Within the Planning
Assistance to States program, the Committee reminds the Corps
that operational flexibility of dams is eligible work.
Research and Development-Hydrology of Saline Lake
Ecosystems.--The Corps is encouraged to research methods to
monitor and assess the hydrology of saline lake ecosystems in
the Great Basin per section 8143 of WRDA 2022.
Research and Development-National Academy of Sciences
Materials Report.--The Committee understands the Corps is
utilizing funding provided in fiscal year 2023 to conduct a
materials report and understands the report will be completed
in 2025. The Corps is directed to brief the Committee within 60
days of the completion of the report.
Research and Development-Manage Emerging Threats and
Resilience for Flood Control Structures.--The Corps is
encouraged to research, test, and refine the use of rapid,
repeatable, and remote methods for long-term monitoring of
critical water infrastructure and to partner with academia to
research and manage emerging threats and attain resilience for
flood control structures.
South Fork of the South Branch of the Chicago River.--The
Committee strongly encourages the Corps and the Environmental
Protection Agency to continue interagency discussions on a
project management structure that will limit the Corps
liabilities and allow the project to move to construction.
The Committee directs the Corps to brief the Committee on
the status of the negotiations within 30 days of enactment of
this act.
Upper Rio Grande Basin.--The Committee recognizes the
ecological, economic, cultural, and historic importance of the
Upper Rio Grande Basin, including the Heron, El Vado, Abiquiu,
Cochiti, Jemez Canyon, Elephant Butte, and Caballo Dams and
Reservoirs. The increasing stress on water supply requires a
comprehensive approach with Reclamation on water and reservoir
management, operation issues, and climate resiliency within the
Upper Rio Grande Basin. Accordingly, the Corps is directed to
brief the Committee within 90 days of the enactment of this act
on existing authorities that can be used for collaboration and
future work that can be done.
Wilmington Harbor.--The Committee supports the Wilmington
Harbor and Navigation Improvement Project, but is disappointed
that more progress has not been made on the project to date.
The Committee encourages the Corps to pursue ways to expedite
the remaining project timeline.
Additional Funding.--The Corps is directed to allocate
these additional funds in accordance with the direction in the
front matter under the heading ``Additional Funding.'' The
Corps shall include appropriate funding in future budget
submissions for new feasibility studies initiated in fiscal
year 2025.
PLANNING, ENGINEERING, AND DESIGN
Appropriations, 2024....................................................
Budget estimate, 2025...................................................
Committee recommendation................................ $200,000,000
The Committee recommends $200,000,000 for Planning,
Engineering, and Design. Funding in this account is used for
plans and specifications prior to construction and related
activities for water resources development projects having
navigation, flood and storm damage reduction, water supply,
hydroelectric, environmental restoration, and other attendant
benefits to the Nation.
The Committee has created this new account to combat some
of the challenges facing the Corps and non-Federal sponsors.
This new account will allow the Corps to focus on design
maturity of authorized projects during the next phase of work
after a feasibility study, which is Planning, Engineering, and
Design. The Committee is aware that the Corps has the ability
to do this work in the Investigations Account, but chooses to
do minimal Planning, Engineering, and Design work before
receiving a Construction new start and then finishes designing
the project once it has received Federal Construction funds,
which is no longer a tenable solution.
In order to comply with WRRDA 2014 study duration and cost
requirements, the Corps has shifted to more risk-informed
decision-making in feasibility studies. The focusing of
feasibility studies to examine a water resources problem and
identify a feasible solution that can be authorized has been
successful. Ultimately, a study should not be focused on
engineering the entire project. However, at some point the
project needs to be designed in a comprehensive manner.
The Corps has increasingly shifted this critical design
work to construction, which has led to increased cost
contingencies. The result is increased costs and duration over
the course of construction as the Corps completes full design.
This reality impacts the ability of the Committee and non-
Federal sponsors to effectively plan resources. The Committee
appreciates the recent efforts the Corps has undertaken to
improve cost estimates, but more change is needed.
Recognizing that no two projects are the same and a one
size solution does not fit for the Corps portfolio, the
Committee fully supports more expedient construction of water
resources development projects because such projects provide
protection to the public, environment, and positively impact
the economy. However, more extensive design work is needed
before a new construction start to provide more assurance of
project scope, challenges, and cost estimates to both the
Committee and non-Federal sponsors.
Further, critical efficiencies in contracting and workload
balancing are lost or never realized because the full project
is not quantified at the outset. Considering the Corps has yet
to submit the construction funding schedules report that has
been previously and repeatedly required by the Committee, it is
anticipated that the work completed within this account will
allow a greater understanding of the current and future funding
requirements within the Corps' construction portfolio. A
comprehensive outlook of these dynamic requirements is
necessary for Congress to consider and balance funding
allocations annually, and to assess the long-term effects of
new investment decisions.

Project Cost Updates.--The Committee is aware that the
Corps has a policy that requires regular updates of the
economics and costs of authorized projects that have not yet
received construction funds, but such updates are not feasible
without funds. The lasting impacts of delinquent updates has
become apparent with recent supplemental projects as certain
project cost estimates were stale, causing significant cost
escalations. Funding is included for updates to authorized
projects that have not received Construction funds where those
updates are necessary to recertify project costs or verify
economic justification. The Corps is highly encouraged to
recommend funding for project cost updates in future budget
submissions.
Additional Funding.--A new start or construction
authorization shall not be required to move a project from
Investigations to Planning, Engineering, and Design. The
Committee expects the Corps will reach an intermediate level of
design during the Planning, Engineering, and Design phase on
the entire authorized project or multiple significant separable
elements before recommending a project for Construction funds
for those projects that have yet to receive Federal
Construction funds. Further, the Committee expects the Corps
will recommend funds in this account in future budget
submissions.

Funding in this account is used for construction, major
rehabilitation, and related activities for water resources
development projects having navigation, flood and storm damage
reduction, water supply, hydroelectric, environmental
restoration, and other attendant benefits to the Nation. Funds
to be derived from the HMTF will be applied to cover the

*Includes funds requested in other accounts.
Advanced Measures.--The Corps is encouraged to fully use
the authorities granted to it under the Advanced Measures
program to mitigate the impacts of high water levels in the
Great Lakes Basin.
Aquatic Plant Control Program.--Of the funding recommended
for the Aquatic Plant Control Program, $10,300,000 shall be for
nationwide research and development to address invasive aquatic
plants, within which the Corps is encouraged to support cost-
shared aquatic plant management programs. Additionally, the
Committee understands the Corps has sufficient funding for
fiscal year 2025 activities for watercraft inspection stations
and rapid response as authorized in section 104 of the River
and Harbor Act of 1958, subsections (d)(1)(A)(i),
(d)(1)(A)(ii), (d)(1)(A)(iii), (d)(1)(A)(iv), and (d)(1)(A)(v);
and related monitoring.
Further, $7,500,000 shall be to address infestations of
hydrilla in Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River, Lake
Erie, and Ohio River Basins. The Corps is encouraged to
prioritize Mosquito Creek Lake and to consider the benefits of
establishing a rapid response task force to cover the
Connecticut River watershed.
Finally, the Committee recommends $1,000,000 for the Corps
to establish a pilot program 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, per
section 8305 of WRDA 2022.
Aquatic Plant Control Program-Mississippi River Basin.--The
Committee recognizes that the Corps is engaged in a
multipronged effort to combat invasive species in our country's
waterways and protect the Mississippi River Basin, which is one
of the most valued ecosystems in the world. The Committee
recommends $10,500,000 for the Corps, in partnership with other
Federal partners, to continue planning, designing, engineering
and project management activities, and to begin construction of
carp barriers in the Mississippi River Basin and the Tennessee-
Tombigbee waterways. The Corps is directed to brief the
Committee on a plan for prioritization of location of barrier
construction prior to obligation of funds.
Beneficial Use of Dredged Material.--The Committee
encourages the Corps to prioritize issuing updated
implementation guidance for a renewed solicitation of section
1122 Beneficial Use of Dredged Material project proposals.
Additional funding is recommended to continue the 10 pilot
projects. The Corps is directed to brief the Committee prior to
any effort to solicit or select any additional pilot projects
for this program.
Brandon Road.--The Committee is concerned about the lack of
progress on the Brandon Road Project, a critically important
initiative to maintain navigation of the Illinois River while
protecting the Great Lakes from an invasive species that
threatens our Nation's largest bodies of fresh water.
Additionally, the Committee is concerned about the lack of
timely communication with project sponsors, stakeholders, and
Congressional offices. In order to ensure the project remains
on schedule, the Corps is directed to provide a quarterly
report to the Committee on Appropriations of both Houses of
Congress on the status of the project, including any
significant changes in cost.
Central Everglades Planning Project.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of restoring America's Everglades,
and strongly encourages the Corps to expedite the required
validation reports for PPA North. The Committee strongly
encourages the Corps to design and construct the recently-
authorized Everglades Agricultural Area Storage Reservoir as
quickly as possible to utilize the expanded water delivery
capabilities of completed PPA South elements.
Charleston Harbor.--The funding is recommended for
reimbursement of the advanced funds provided by the non-Federal
sponsor to cover the Federal share of the cost of the National
Economic Development plan. The Committee is aware the non-
Federal sponsor may be eligible for additional reimbursement in
the future. Consistent with section 8362 of WRDA 2022, the
Corps is encouraged to expeditiously complete the required
close out activities to ensure timely reimbursement to the non-
Federal sponsor.
Chattahoochee River Program Comprehensive Plan, Georgia.--
Once a non-Federal sponsor has been identified, the Committee
encourages the Corps to move forward expeditiously with the
completion of the comprehensive plan required by Public Law
117-263.
Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Dispersal Barrier,
Illinois.--No funds recommended in this act may be used for
construction of hydrologic separation measures.
Continuing Authorities Program.--The Committee recommends
$75,500,000 for the Continuing Authorities Program [CAP]. CAP
is a useful tool for the Corps to undertake small localized
projects without being encumbered by the lengthy study and
authorization phases typical of most Corps projects. The
management of CAP shall continue consistent with direction
provided in previous fiscal years.
Environmental Infrastructure.--Authorized environmental
infrastructure programs and projects shall not require a new
start designation. This includes projects in regional
authorities that have not received funding and projects
authorized under section 219 of the WRDA of 1992 (Public Law
102-580) as amended. The Committee reminds the Corps that
environmental infrastructure authorities include caps on
Federal participation, but do not provide a guarantee that the
project authorization level will be met. Projects shall only
receive funding if there is a separable element that can be
funded to completion in a fiscal year without the requirement
for continued funding in future years.
Mamaroneck, New York.--The Committee recognizes the
importance of this project to the life safety of the community
and encourages the Corps to continue implementing this critical
flood and storm damage reduction project.
Mount Saint Helens Project.--A 2017 National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering and Medicine report established a
decision framework for managing the Spirit Lake and Toutle
River System at Mt. St. Helens. The report recommends that
long-term management be informed by current characterizations
of the debris blockage damming the lake. Specifically, the
report concluded that such an examination could include a
quantitative risk assessment, benefit-cost analyses, and
analyses of other data. The Committee directs the Corps to
engage with the U.S. Forest Service on ways to implement the
recommendations of the report to help address these long
standing issues. The Corps shall provide a briefing to the
Committee on recommended collaboration opportunities and future
steps to establish a decision framework no later than 180 days
after enactment of this act.
New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam, Georgia and South
Carolina.--The Committee maintains interest in the New Savannah
Bluff Lock and Dam and recognizes the long standing challenges
of the project. The Committee encourages the Corps to work with
all stakeholders towards a mutually beneficial resolution that
will ensure that historical water levels, existing activities,
and functions are maintained, consistent with the intent of
section 1319 of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the
Nation Act [WIIN] of 2016.
Riverbank Erosion.--The Committee encourages the Corps to
prioritize projects to stabilize the Indiana shoreline of the
Ohio River damaged by the operation of federally-owned dams on
the Ohio River as authorized in section 9 of the 1946 Flood
Control Act (33 U.S.C. 701q). The Corps is reminded that this
project is eligible to compete for the additional funding
provided in this account.
Restoration of Abandoned Mine Sites, Tribal Partnerships.--
The Committee recognizes that abandoned and inactive hardrock
mine sites in the western United States pose water quality
challenges for Tribal communities and that many Tribes have
struggled to receive adequate assistance to identify and
remediate risks. The Committee is pleased with the Corps
progress to increase effectiveness of this important program
and recommends additional funds to continue this work.
Shore Protection Easements.--The Committee notes the
importance of periodic restoration of shore protection projects
and their significance for the protection of public safety,
public infrastructure, native vegetation and wildlife, as well
as economy stability in oceanfront communities. The Committee
is concerned by the Corps' interpretation of section 103(d) of
WRDA 1986 and an act of July 28, 1956 (33 U.S.C. 426e(d)) that
would require local sponsors to acquire perpetual easements
along the entire expanse of a project, even if no construction
will occur on the privately-owned portion of the beach. The
Committee understands the challenges facing local governments
in obtaining the necessary approvals for required easements
when no work will be performed on the property for which the
easement is being required under the Corps' current
interpretation of the law. The Committee encourages the Corps
to work with local governments to incorporate flexibility
afforded in the most recent project agreement language that
allows for incremental acquisition of easements necessary for
the construction of the scheduled nourishment.
South Florida Ecosystem Restoration [SFER].--The Committee,
Department of the Interior, and non-Federal project sponsors
rely on accurate and timely budget information for SFER
projects from the Corps. For fiscal year 2025, the Committee
directs the Corps to ensure the accuracy of all budget
justification sheets that inform SFER Integrated Financial Plan
documents by September 30, 2025.
Tribal Partnership Program [TPP].--The Committee recommends
additional funding for the TPP, with discretion given to the
Corps to manage projects appropriately as it balances workload
within districts, coordinates cost-share agreements, and
executes other programmatic responsibilities in accordance with
the program's intent and authorities.
Tribal Partnership Program--Northwestern Division Pilot
Program.--The Committee is concerned at the lack of TPP
projects being carried out in conjunction with Tribes in the
Pacific Northwest. The Committee recommends $5,000,000 to
identify and execute 10 ecosystem restoration projects in
conjunction with federally recognized Tribes in the
Northwestern Division on or near rivers or tributaries where
the Tribe acting as the non-Federal sponsor has Tribal treaty
rights. Five of these projects shall be focused on the Mid-
Columbia region for salmon and steelhead populations. In
carrying out this pilot program, the Corps is directed to use
TPP authorities in addition to any other applicable authorities
necessary.
Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program [UMRR], Quincy
Bay.--Over the past 70 years, river traffic has led to the
environmental degradation of Quincy Bay. Therefore, the
Committee encourages the Corps to prioritize the environmental
restoration project in Quincy Bay near Quincy, Illinois as a
Tier 1 project for immediate commencement through the UMMR
Program.
Additional Funding.--The Corps shall allocate these
additional funds in accordance with the direction in the front
matter under the heading ``Additional Funding.'' The Corps
shall not condition these funds, or any funds appropriated in
this act, on a non-Federal interest paying more than their
required share in any phase of a project. Of the additional
funding provided in this account for environmental restoration
or compliance and other authorized project purposes, the Corps
shall allocate not less than $2,785,000 for multistate
ecosystem restoration programs for which a comprehensive
restoration plan is in development or has been completed. The
Committee urges the Corps to prioritize Federal reimbursements
for flood and storm damage reduction projects and directs the
Corps to allocate not less than $20,000,000 to authorized
reimbursements for flood and storm damage projects with
executed project partnership agreements that have completed
construction and where non-Federal sponsors intend to use the
funds for additional water resources development activities.
When allocating the additional funding recommended in this
account, the Corps is encouraged to evaluate authorized
reimbursements in the same manner as if the projects were being
evaluated for new or ongoing construction and shall consider
giving priority to the following:
--Benefits of the funded work to the National economy;
--Extent to which the work will enhance national, regional,
or local economic development;
--Number of jobs created directly by the funded activity;
--Ability to obligate the funds allocated within the calendar
year, including consideration of the ability of the
non-Federal sponsor to provide any required cost share;
--Ability to complete the project, separable element, or
project phase with the funds allocated;
--Legal requirements, including responsibilities to Tribes;
--For flood and storm damage reduction projects (including
authorized nonstructural measures and periodic beach
renourishments): population, safety of life, economic
activity, or public infrastructure at risk, as
appropriate; the severity of risk of flooding or the
frequency with which an area has experienced flooding;
and preservation of historically significant
communities, culture, and heritage;
--For navigation projects, the number of jobs or level of
economic activity to be supported by completion of the
project, separable element, or project phase;
--For environmental infrastructure, projects in rural
communities, projects with greater economic impact,
projects in counties or parishes with high poverty
rates, projects owed past reimbursements, and projects
that provide backup raw water supply in the event of an
emergency.

*Includes funds requested in other accounts.
Requested in remaining items.
Funded under projects listed under states.
Aquatic Nuisance Control Research.--The additional funding
recommended in the Aquatic Nuisance Control Research remaining
item is to supplement and advance Corps activities to address
Harmful Algal Blooms including early detection, prevention, and
management techniques and procedures to reduce the occurrence
and impacts of harmful algal blooms associated with water
resources development projects and in our Nation's water
resources, such as Lake Okeechobee, Florida. The Committee
recommends $5,000,000 to develop next generation ecological
models to maintain inland and intracoastal waterways and
$5,000,000 to work with university partners to develop
prediction, avoidance, and remediation measures focused on
environmental triggers in riverine ecosystems.
Asset Management/Facilities and Equipment Maintenance
[FEM].--The Committee understands the Corps has completed the
report required in section 6002 of the WRRDA of 2014, but the
report remains under review. The Committee is disappointed that
the report was not submitted as directed in the Fiscal Year
2024 Act. The Committee recommends $6,000,000 for the
structural health monitoring program to facilitate research to
maximize operations, enhance efficiency, and protect asset life
through catastrophic failure mitigation; $5,100,000 to expand
academic and industry partnerships related to composite
material durability; and $2,200,000 for mitigation of
overtopping damage in geotechnical projects for research on
Geo-Erosion Monitoring Systems for monitoring civil works water
resources projects.
Bradford Island.--The Committee is pleased that the Corps
signed the Federal Facilities Agreement on the Bradford Island
Superfund Site, a critical step forward in the cleanup process.
The Committee encourages the Corps to prioritize the cleanup in
accordance with the Site Management Plan and to work
cooperatively with the States of Washington and Oregon, Tribes
with recognized treaty rights, and other Tribal interests in
the area. In particular, the Corps should emphasize the early
removal of the landfill, which poses an imminent contamination
threat to the river. In addition, the Committee encourages the
Corps to make every effort to collaborate with the Yakama
Nation in accordance with the 2023 Memorandum of Understanding,
which recognizes the Yakama Nation's significant interests in
and around Bradford Island, and memorializes the Corps'
commitment to including the Yakama Nation in all technical and
policy aspects of the cleanup.
Coastal Inlets Research Program.--The Committee understands
that communities, infrastructure, and resources tied to coastal
regions are vulnerable to damage from extreme coastal events
and long-term coastal change. Funding in addition to the budget
request is recommended for collaboration with the National
Weather Center, Corps-led, multi-university efforts to identify
engineering frameworks to address coastal resilience needs; to
develop adaptive pathways that lead to coastal resilience; to
measure the coastal forces that lead to infrastructure damage
and erosion during extreme storm events; and to improve
coupling of terrestrial and coastal models.
Coastal Ocean Data System [CODS].--The Committee is
disappointed the Corps used funding provided for the base
program in fiscal year 2024 for strategic research and
development activities. The Committee finds it illogical to
fund research and development while neglecting tangible ongoing
work. Thus, the Committee recommends $15,700,000 for the base
program which includes only the following ongoing efforts: wave
observations, wave information studies, storm event data sets,
integrated ocean observing system participation, and the
CorpsCam operational data system. Of the funding recommended
for the base program, no less than $7,500,000 shall be for
long-term coastal wave and coastal sediment observations,
research, and data products that support sustainable coastal
and navigation projects. Further, the Committee supports the
Corps' efforts to continue developing an integrated modeling
system that can be utilized to evaluate subsurface drain
systems for consideration of future potential flood risk or
coastal storm risk reduction measures in project development
and recommends $2,900,000 for these efforts. The Committee
recommends no funding for Snow-Informed Reservoir Operations,
instead funds are recommended in Water Operations and Technical
Support because the purpose of this work is to link with
ongoing Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations activities.
Cuyahoga River Old Channel Remediation.--The Committee is
pleased that progress is being made to remediate the Cuyahoga
River Old Channel. As the Corps completes the design report,
the Corps is encouraged to consider and incorporate
opportunities for community economic development into the final
design.
Donor & Energy Transfer Ports.--The Committee directs the
Corps to allocate any work plan HMTF funding for Donor and
Energy Transfer Ports consistent with section 102 and section
104 of WRDA 2020 (Public Law 116-260). The Corps is reminded
that Donor and Energy Transfer Ports are eligible to receive
additional funding recommended in the deep-draft harbor and
channel funding line for expanded uses.
Dredging Operations Technical Support Program [DOTS].--The
Committee recommends additional funding for DOTS to support the
research and application of artificial intelligence, machine
learning, and advanced modeling capabilities to improve
streamflow forecasting for channel shoaling and dredging to
help reduce interruptions in waterborne inland commerce as a
result of flooding and other silting activities.
Engineering With Nature [EWN].--With the funds recommended,
the Corps is encouraged to continue collaboration across
research programs on nature-based infrastructure and with
university partners to develop standards, design guidance, and
testing protocols to fully evaluate and standardize nature-
based and hybrid infrastructure solutions, including those in
drought and fire-prone lands and post-fire recovery areas. The
Committee recommends $500,000 for the Corps to explore coastal
restoration optimized for blue carbon CO2
sequestration. Funding under this line item is intended for EWN
activities having a national or regional scope or that benefit
the Corps' broader execution of its mission areas. It is not
intended to replace or preclude the appropriate use of EWN
practices at districts using project-specific funding, or work
performed across other Corps programs that might involve EWN.
Of the funding recommended, $13,000,000 is included to
support ongoing research and advance work with university
partners to develop standards, design guidance, and testing
protocols to improve and standardize nature-based and hybrid
infrastructure solutions. Additionally, the Corps is encouraged
to expand the EWN initiative to support science and engineering
practices that support long-term resilience and sustainability
of water infrastructure and their supporting systems. Of the
funding recommended, $7,000,000 is included to support research
and development of natural infrastructure solutions for the
Nation's bays and estuaries, to design innovative nature-based
infrastructure with landscape architecture, coastal modeling,
and engineering.
Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund Targets.--Donor and energy
ports are critical to our National supply chain and stable HMTF
funding for expanded uses is fundamental to maintaining
international competitiveness. Full HMTF funding can assist
with capital improvements at these critical ports which already
pay a significant share of the collected tax. The Committee
directs the Corps to meet the donor and energy target in the
fiscal year 2025 work plan and include the funding in future
budget submissions. Similarly, the Great Lakes Navigation
System [GLNS] is the backbone of our Nation's manufacturing,
industrial, building, and agricultural economies. Each year,
more than 175 million tons of commodities are carried through
the GLNS. The Committee is pleased the Corps met the target in
fiscal year 2024 and strongly encourages the continued
investment in this critical water system.
The Committee understands the Corps is developing
implementation guidance for executing HMTF targets and is
pleased with this development. The Corps is encouraged to fully
engage with stakeholders while developing this guidance.
Finally, in conjunction with the fiscal year 2025 work plan,
the Corps is directed to provide the Committee a list of all
projects, expanded uses, and HMTF funding amounts for each
section 102 WRDA target.
Harlan County Dam Repairs.--The Committee is aware that
there are Corps facilities where Reclamation contracts water
supply to non-Federal water contractors, such as Harlan County
Dam, and such non-Federal water contractors must repay their
share of total joint use operation and maintenance costs to
Reclamation for costs incurred by the Corps for such projects.
The Corps shall meet with non-Federal water contractors,
including representatives of Reclamation, to provide a detailed
explanation of past operation and maintenance charges incurred
at Harlan County Dam. At a minimum, the discussion shall
include how joint use charges are assigned, and how dam safety
costs are determined for extraordinary maintenance projects,
such as the Ogee Spillway repairs, and prospectively provide
operation and maintenance cost estimates, including any planned
extraordinary maintenance projects. The Committee expects these
engagements to occur annually.
Inland Water Navigation Charts.--The Committee recognizes
the importance of well-maintained, safe, navigable inland
waterways within the United States, which includes accurate
placement of waterway navigation aids, specifically buoys. The
Committee recommends not less than $4,800,000 for an inland
waterway digital navigation buoys pilot program. Additionally,
$2,000,000 is recommended for the eHydro program to modernize
and enhance the distribution of the navigation charts, and
$2,000,000 to support the transition of the National Dredging
Quality Management Program's automated dredging monitoring data
to a cloud environment.
Inspection of Completed Federal Flood Control Projects.--
The Committee encourages the Corps to continue prioritizing
conducting risk assessments of high-risk federally authorized
levee systems.
Kennebec River Long-Term Maintenance Dredging.--The
Committee continues to support the Memorandum of Agreement
signed in January 2019 denoting responsibilities between the
Department of the Army and the Department of the Navy for the
regular maintenance of the Kennebec River Federal Navigation
Channel. The Committee is concerned that the channel is not
currently being maintained to the required depth on an annual
basis, affecting the movement of Navy surface combatants. The
Committee directs the Department of the Army and the Department
of the Navy to respond with the appropriate resources and
planning to ensure that the channel is passable annually--per
the Memorandum of Agreement--to ensure the navigability of the
Kennebec River for the test, trial, and delivery of newly
constructed Navy surface combatants to the Atlantic Ocean.
McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System [MKARNS].--
The Committee recognizes the importance of the MKARNS as an
established Marine Highway for waterborne commerce. The
Committee is aware that there is critical maintenance backlog
on the MKARNS with project components having a higher
probability of failure in the next 5 years, which could
significantly impact operations of the locks or navigation
pools. However, the Administration continually recommends
budget amounts to address only a fraction of the critical
maintenance backlog. The Committee encourages the Corps to
budget appropriately to address the critical maintenance
backlog on the MKARNS.
Mobile Bay Beneficial Use of Dredged Material.--The
Committee recognizes the critical importance of periodic
shoreline restoration, wetland creation, beach nourishment, and
their significance in supporting public safety and protecting
underserved communities, public infrastructure, native
vegetation and wildlife, and the local economy. The Committee
encourages the Corps to examine beneficial uses of dredged
material in Mobile Bay, Alabama, to include both the Upper
Mobile Bay and Dauphin Island as potential beneficial use
sites.
Monitoring of Completed Navigation Projects--Fisheries.--
The Committee is concerned that a reduction in or elimination
of navigational lock operations on the Nation's inland
waterways is having a negative impact on river ecosystems,
particularly the ability of endangered, threatened, and game
fish species to migrate through waterways, during critical
spawning periods. The Committee notes the success of
preliminary research, which indicates reduced lock operations
on certain Corps-designated low-use waterways is directly
impacting migration and that there are effective means to
mitigate the impacts. The Committee continues to believe that
maximizing the ability of fish to use these locks to move past
the dams has the potential to restore natural and historic
long-distance river migrations that may be critical to species
survival. The Committee supports the ongoing research. Of the
funding recommended, $6,000,000 shall be to expand the research
to assist the Corps across all waterways, lock structures, lock
operation methods, and fish species that will more fully inform
the Corps' operations. Additionally, funding of $2,000,000 is
recommended for the National Information Collaboration on
Ecohydraulics effort by the Corps to expand, on a national
basis, the ongoing research on the impact of reduced lock
operations on riverine fish.
National Coastal Mapping Program.--The Committee continues
to support the efforts of the National Coastal Mapping Program,
but also recognizes the challenges to collect the necessary
data to meet current critical, emerging, and post-disaster
requirements along the U.S. coastline. The Committee encourages
the Corps to continue mapping the continental U.S. coast.
Additionally, funding of $6,200,000 is recommended for Alaska
coastal community mapping and coastal resiliency activities,
and $6,600,000 is recommended for mapping of U.S. Territories
and Possessions.
North Atlantic Division Report on Hurricane Barriers and
Harbors of Refuge.--The Committee continues to express the
importance of the North Atlantic Division report on hurricane
barriers and harbors of refuge mandated under section 1218 of
America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018. While the Corps has
completed an initial report focused on the New England area,
the report is not complete. Of the funding recommended for
Reducing Civil Works Vulnerabilities, $1,000,000 is recommended
for this report.
Okatibbee Reservoir-Water Storage Contract.--The Secretary
shall update the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this
act on opportunities to renegotiate the contract executed on
April 23, 1965 between the U.S. and the Pat Harrison Waterway
District [PHWD] for water storage space in Okatibbee Reservoir
(Okatibbee Creek, Mississippi). This update should address
opportunities to reduce or forgive PHWD obligations due under
this contract. Municipal and industrial water supply was
authorized as one of Okatibbee Reservoir's purposes based on
the expectation that a reliable water supply would benefit
future regional economic and/or population growth. However,
since 1965, the PHWD has only used a portion of its contractual
water storage.
Regional Dredge Contracting.--The Committee encourages the
Corps to continue to more fully utilize regional contracts to
efficiently execute unobligated HMTF funds. The significant and
consistent amounts of additional HMTF funding provides
additional opportunities for the Corps to use a more efficient
and holistic approach to dredge contracts. The Corps shall
brief the Committee within 30 days of enactment of this act on
opportunities to increase regional contracts and any
impediments.
Regional Sediment Management.--Additional funding is
recommended for cooperation and coordination with the Great
Lakes States to develop sediment transport models for Great
Lakes tributaries that discharge to Federal navigation
channels.
Remote Lock Operations Transparency.--The Committee
recognizes the need for more communication and guidance
regarding the Corps' implementation of remote lock and dam
operations on the inland and intracoastal waterways. The
Committee encourages the Corps to engage in active and ongoing
communication with the stakeholders in the navigation industry,
including the Inland Waterways Users Board, during the conduct
of regional assessments related to the implementation of remote
lock and dam operations. The Corps is prohibited from using any
funds for this effort or related efforts until the Committee is
provided with the National assessment completed on lock and dam
remote operations and a stakeholder engagement plan.
Recreation Partnerships.--The Committee is concerned about
deteriorating Corps recreational sites and facilities and urges
the Corps to continue evaluating opportunities for partnerships
with State and local governments and other entities to enhance
existing recreational sites and facilities.
Small, Remote, or Subsistence Harbors.--The Committee
emphasizes the importance of ensuring that our country's small
and low-use ports remain functional. The Committee urges the
Corps to consider expediting scheduled maintenance at small and
low-use ports that have experienced unexpected levels of
deterioration since their last dredging. The Committee remains
concerned that the administration's criteria for navigation
maintenance disadvantage small, remote, or subsistence harbors
and waterways from competing for scarce navigation maintenance
funds. The Committee directs the Corps to revise the criteria
used for determining which navigation maintenance projects are
funded and to develop a reasonable and equitable allocation
under the Operation and Maintenance account. The Committee
supports including criteria to evaluate the economic impact
that these projects provide to local and regional economies.
Further, the Committee is concerned with the Corps'
adherence to 33 U.S. Code 2242(c) for remote and subsistence
harbors in budget requests. The Corps is directed to provide a
report to the Committee, within 60 days of enactment of this
act, that details projects authorized under the remote and
subsistence harbor authority for the past 8 years, the
construction and operation and maintenance funding levels
requested by the Corps to advance these projects, and an
accounting of appropriations made to the relevant projects.
Tribal Land Transfers and Related Maintenance.--The
Committee understands that the Corps may enter into discussions
with entities regarding the future transfer of land to such
entities. The Committee expects the Corps to identify for those
entities the past operation and maintenance requirements
associated with lands and sites to be transferred and to seek a
commitment by the entities receiving land to address those
requirements.
Water Operations Technical Support.--The Committee is
pleased with the results of Forecast Informed Reservoir
Operations [FIRO] Phases 1 and 2 and eagerly anticipates the
expansion of the program into regions where different storm
types, in addition to Atmospheric Rivers, are key to heavy rain
and flooding (e.g., tropical storms/hurricanes, large
thunderstorm systems), and where longer forecast lead times may
be required. The Committee recommends $17,000,000 for the FIRO
effort, and $1,000,000 for snow informed reservoir operations.
Additionally, the Committee recommends $4,000,000 for efforts
to implement wildfire mitigation projects at its facilities to
protect Federal property and neighboring communities and
encourages the Corps to consider vegetation control and other
resiliency measures to protect against the increasing threat of
wildfires.
Willamette Valley Basin Hatcheries.--The Committee notes
that the Corps has an obligation to ensure hatcheries in the
Upper Willamette Basin are producing salmon, steelhead, and
game fish as restitution for the loss of natural spawning and
rearing area with the construction of the 13 dams above the
Willamette Falls. Failure to maintain those production levels
is a breach of that obligation.
Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--The Committee cannot
support a level of funding that does not fund operation and
maintenance of our Nation's aging infrastructure sufficiently
to ensure continued competitiveness in a global marketplace.
Federal navigation channels maintained at only a fraction of
authorized dimensions and navigation locks and hydropower
facilities being used well beyond their design life results in
economic inefficiencies and risks infrastructure failure, which
can cause substantial economic losses. The Committee
recommendation includes additional funds for projects and
activities to enhance the ation's economic growth and
international competitiveness. Of this additional funding
provided for other authorized project purposes, $40,000,000 is
recommended for the costs related to international coordination
of pre-planned or ad-hoc reservoir operations that mitigate the
risk of flooding in the Columbia River Basin in the United
States, including compensation to Canada for storage space. Of
the additional funding provided for other authorized project
purposes, $6,500,000 is recommended for control manual updates
at projects located in States where a Reclamation facility is
also located, in regions where coordinated FIRO projects and
Water Control Manual Updates are underway, and where
atmospheric rivers cause flood damages. No funding recommended
in this bill is intended to expand the Federal dredge fleet.
The Committee reminds the Corps that section 8132 of WRDA
2022 supports small and underserved harbors and encourages the
Corps to implement this new authority. The Committee is aware
that remote islands with a single source passenger and freight
ferry service are particularly vulnerable if that service
cannot be provided due to a lack of dredging and encourages the
Corps to prioritize projects located in a harbor where island
communities depend on such services.
When allocating the additional funding recommended in this
account, the Corps shall consider giving priority to the
following:
--Ability to complete ongoing work maintaining authorized
depths and widths of harbors and shipping channels
(including small, remote, or subsistence harbors),
including where contaminated sediments are present;
--Ability to address critical maintenance backlog;
--Presence of the U.S. Coast Guard;
--Extent to which the work will enhance national, regional,
or local economic development;
--Extent to which the work will promote job growth or
international competitiveness;
--Ability to obligate the funds allocated within the fiscal
year;
--Ability to complete the project, separable element, project
phase, or useful increment of work within the funds
allocated;
--Dredging and maintenance projects that would substantially
increase beneficial uses of and provide supplementary
benefits to tributaries and waterways;
--Extent to which the work will promote recreation-based
benefits, including those created by recreational
boating;
--For harbor maintenance activities:
--Total tonnage handled;
--Total exports;
--Total imports;
--Dollar value of cargo handled;
--Energy infrastructure and national security needs served;
--Designation as strategic seaports;
--Lack of alternative means of freight movement;
--Savings over alternative means of freight movement; and
--Improvements to dredge disposal facilities which will
result in long-term savings, including a reduction in
regular maintenance costs.
REGULATORY PROGRAM
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $221,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 221,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 224,000,000
The Committee recommends $224,000,000 for the Regulatory
Program.
Mitigation Banking.--The Committee recognizes the impact of
limited resources on the processing of mitigation bank
applications, but remains concerned about delays across the
Corps in permitting of mitigation banks and approving
mitigation bank credit releases. The unique nature of
mitigation banks requires dedicated staff with the skills to
facilitate these permits efficiently and expeditiously. While
the Committee understands the influx of Federal infrastructure
projects due to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
[IIJA], it reminds the Corps it was given additional resources
to address the increased demand.
Unnecessary impediments in the mitigation bank approval
process can lead to significant delays and increased costs for
permittees of critical infrastructure, energy, commercial, and
industrial development projects due to the lack of available
mitigation credits. The Committee urges the Corps to meet its
own regulatory review guidelines by expeditiously reviewing and
approving new mitigation bank projects in accordance with 33
CFR 332 and utilizing Corps Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 19-
01 to expedite credit releases when applicable.
Regulatory Funding Report.--The Committee is concerned
about a growing backlog in the processing of regulatory permits
and the lack of adequate staffing to process existing permits.
The Committee encourages the Corps to appropriately staff
positions within the districts by hiring staff to process
permits instead of increasing management. Importantly, IIJA
provided $160,000,000 for the Regulatory Program. With these
funds set to expire on September 30, 2026, the Committee
directs the Corps to generate a report identifying how this
funding has been utilized to improve the permitting process.
The report should identify how this additional funding has
created opportunities for the Corps to invest in innovative
solutions at the Division and District level to address
challenges, the appropriate funding level to maintain this
progress, and bottlenecks in the permitting process. The Corps
is directed to provide a briefing to the Committee following
the completion of this report and the report should be
finalized no later than six months after the date of enactment
of this act.
FORMERLY UTILIZED SITES REMEDIAL ACTION PROGRAM
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $300,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 200,285,000
Committee recommendation................................ 325,000,000
The Committee recommends $325,000,000 for the Formerly
Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program. There are currently 18
sites with record of decisions that carry an estimated cost of
$3,000,000,000. Additionally, there are three other sites
without record of decisions where the rough estimate is
$500,000,000. When appropriate for large projects, the Corps is
encouraged to use continuing contracts for more time and cost
effective cleanup.
FLOOD CONTROL AND COASTAL EMERGENCIES
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $35,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 45,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 45,000,000
The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for Flood Control and
Coastal Emergencies.
EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $216,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 231,240,000
Committee recommendation................................ 224,000,000
The Committee recommends $224,000,000 for Expenses. No
funding is recommended for the creation of an Office of
Congressional Affairs.
The Expenses appropriation is an administrative and
operational account which supports the technical,
administrative and staff supervision functions assigned to
Corps Headquarters, the Major Subordinate Commands (MSCs/
division offices); and the costs of those elements within four
field operating activities providing direct support to those
functions. The Expenses appropriation pays for two categories
of requirements-labor and non-labor to support the Corps.
The funds recommended in this account shall be used to
support implementation of the Corps' Civil Works program,
including hiring additional full time equivalents. This
includes developing and issuing policy guidance; managing Civil
Works program; and providing national coordination of and
participation in forums and events within headquarters, the
division offices, and meeting other enterprise requirements and
operating expenses.
OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY (CIVIL WORKS)
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $5,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 6,400,000
Committee recommendation................................ 5,500,000
The Committee recommends $5,500,000 for the Office of the
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works).
The Committee counts on a timely and accessible executive
branch in the course of fulfilling its constitutional role in
the appropriations process. The requesting and receiving of
basic, factual information is vital to maintaining a
transparent and open governing process. The Committee
recognizes that some discussions internal to the executive
branch are pre-decisional in nature and, therefore, not subject
to disclosure. However, the access to facts, figures, and
statistics that inform these decisions are not subject to the
same sensitivity and are critical to the appropriations
process. The administration needs to do more to ensure timely
and complete responses to these inquiries.
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE AND INNOVATION PROGRAM
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $7,200,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 7,000,000

TITLE II
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT COMPLETION ACCOUNT
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $23,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 17,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 23,000,000
The Committee recommends $23,000,000 for the Central Utah
Project Completion Account, which includes $4,000,000 for the
Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Account for use by
the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission,
$1,900,000 for necessary expenses of the Secretary of the
Interior, and up to $2,164,100 for the Commission's
administrative expenses. This allows the Department of the
Interior to develop water supply facilities that will continue
to sustain economic growth and an enhanced quality of life in
the western States, the fastest growing region in the United
States. The Committee remains committed to complete the Central
Utah Project, which would enable the project to initiate
repayment to the Federal Government.
Bureau of Reclamation
OVERVIEW OF RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $2,020,000,000 for the Bureau of
Reclamation [Reclamation]. The Committee recommendation sets
priorities by supporting our Nation's water infrastructure.
INTRODUCTION
In addition to the traditional missions of bringing water
and power to the West, Reclamation continues to develop
programs, initiatives, and activities that will help meet new
water needs and balance the multitude of competing uses of
water in the West. Reclamation is the largest wholesaler of
water in the country, operating 338 reservoirs with a total
storage capacity of 140 million acre-feet. Reclamation projects
deliver 10 trillion gallons of water to more than 31 million
people each year, and provide 1 out of 5 western farmers with
irrigation water for 11 million acres of farmland that produce
60 percent of the Nation's vegetables and 25 percent of its
fruits and nuts. Reclamation manages, with partners, 289
recreation sites that have 90 million visits annually.
FISCAL YEAR 2025 WORK PLAN
The Committee recommends funding above the budget request
for Water and Related Resources. Reclamation is directed to
submit a work plan, not later than 60 days after the date of
enactment of this act, to the Committee proposing its
allocation of these additional funds. The work plan shall be
consistent with the following general guidance:
--None of the funds may be used for any item for which the
Committee has specifically denied funding;
--The additional funds are recommended for studies or
projects that were either not included in the budget
request or for which the budget request was inadequate;
--Funding associated with a category may be allocated to
eligible studies or projects within that category; and
--Reclamation may not withhold funding from a study or
project because it is inconsistent with administration
policy. The Committee notes that these funds are in
excess of the administration's budget request, and that
administration budget metrics shall not disqualify a
study or project from being funded.
CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING
The Committee included congressionally directed spending,
as defined in section 5(a) of rule XLIV of the Standing Rules
of the Senate. The Committee funded only projects and studies
that are authorized by law. In the interest of providing full
disclosure of funding recommended in this Title, all projects
requested and funded are listed in a table accompanying this
report. All of the projects funded in this report have gone
through the same rigorous process and approvals as those
proposed by the President.
REPORTING REQUIREMENT
Reclamation shall provide a quarterly report to the
Committee, which includes the total budget authority and
unobligated balances by year for each program, project, or
activity, including any prior year appropriations.
WATER AND RELATED RESOURCES
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $1,751,698,000
Budget estimate, 2024................................... 1,443,527,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,864,550,000
The Committee recommends $1,864,550,000 for Water and
Related Resources.
INTRODUCTION
The Water and Related Resources account supports the
development, management, and restoration of water and related
natural resources in the 17 western States. The account
includes funds for operating and maintaining existing
facilities to obtain the greatest overall level of benefits, to
protect public safety, and to conduct studies on ways to
improve the use of water and related natural resources. Work
will be done in partnership and cooperation with non-Federal
entities and other Federal agencies.

RESOURCES................
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bostwick Division.--Reclamation shall meet with non-Federal
water contractors in the Bostwick Division, including
representatives of the Corps, to provide a detailed explanation
of past operation and maintenance charges incurred at Harlan
County Dam. At a minimum, the discussion shall include how
joint use charges are assigned, how dam safety costs are
determined for extraordinary maintenance projects, and
prospectively provide operation and maintenance cost estimates,
including any planned extraordinary maintenance projects. The
Committee expects these engagements to occur annually.
Reclamation shall assist in identifying financing repayment
options of any reimbursable extraordinary maintenance costs,
such as the Ogee Spillway repairs.
Colorado River Basin.--Despite improving hydrology, the
Colorado River basin reservoirs remain low after multiple years
of drought, which poses a severe risk for Tribes, farmers,
ranchers, cities, wildlife, and the local economies that rely
on these water resources. Reclamation is encouraged to provide
funding in future budget requests for activities that support
water conservation, improve watershed scale planning, upgrade
water infrastructure, protect land from erosion, and create
long-term resiliency on changing landscapes.
Columbia Basin Project.--The Committee supports
Reclamation's partnership in the Odessa Groundwater Replacement
Program to provide farmlands in Central and Eastern Washington
with surface water supply through operational changes in the
storage and delivery system and urges Reclamation to move
forward to implement the program.
Columbia Basin Project Report.--Reclamation is directed to
develop a report using existing data and science on the
continued development of the Columbia Basin Project originally
authorized in 1945. The report shall examine the costs and
benefits of advancing the project giving equal consideration to
the following priorities: (1) local Tribal population, (2)
salmon habitat including recovery and restoration, (3)
agricultural production and employment, and (4) food security.
Reclamation shall provide the report to the Committees on
Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources, and the House Committee on Natural Resources within
18 months of enactment of this act.
Deschutes River Conservancy.--The Committee supports the
ongoing work of the Deschutes River Conservancy in Central
Oregon. The Committee encourages the Bureau of Reclamation to
restore funding for this work in future budget requests.
Dry-Redwater, Montana.--The Committee strongly encourages
Reclamation to expeditiously complete the Dry-Redwater Regional
Water Authority feasibility study for the project authorized in
Public Law 116-260. Completing the feasibility study is
necessary before a recommended project can be federally
authorized for construction of the system.
Endangered Species Act [ESA] Coordination.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of ESA project compliance in a long
term sustainable manner. Long term sustainability is
particularly important when additional project features are
required for the long term health and well-being of the
endangered species. The Committee encourages Reclamation to
collaborate with the project partners to create sustainable and
achievable long terms plans when additional features are
required for ESA compliance.
Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations [FIRO] Engagement.--
The Committee directs Reclamation to conduct an economic
analysis study of water supply and conservation benefits of
FIRO at Section 7 reservoirs identified as candidates in the
Corps FIRO Screening Assessment.
Klamath A Canal.--The Committee is pleased Reclamation has
begun a study to determine repair alternatives to address
seepage from the A Canal. As part of the study, Reclamation is
strongly encouraged to identify ways to provide non-
reimbursable financial support for any potential solutions.
Klamath Basin Project.--The Committee is pleased that
Reclamation included additional funds under the Klamath project
for the Drought Response Agency. The Committee encourages
Reclamation to continue funding the Drought Response Agency at
sufficient levels.
Lower Colorado River.--Reclamation has worked to address
excess flows of Colorado River water to Mexico, but there still
remains excess flows beyond the Treaty requirements. Persistent
drought and projected long-term water demands have heightened
this concern. To help address future impacts on the Lower
Colorado River Basin, the Committee directs Reclamation to
explore methods for further reducing excess flows to Mexico and
shall report to the Committee by no later than February 2025.
Rural Water Projects.--The Committee appreciates
Reclamation's efforts to advance construction of Rural Water
projects, such as the Garrison Diversion Unit, as the projects
are critical to the health, safety, and economic development of
Tribal Nations and rural communities in the West. The Committee
reminds Reclamation that voluntary funding in excess of legally
required cost shares for rural water projects is acceptable but
should not be used by Reclamation as a criterion for allocating
additional funding recommended by the Committee or for
budgeting in future years.
San Joaquin River Restoration.--Permanent appropriations,
available for the program in fiscal year 2025, shall not
supplant continued annual appropriations, and the Committee
encourages Reclamation to include adequate funding in future
budget submissions.
St. Mary's Diversion Dam and Conveyance Works.--The
Committee recognizes Reclamation's completion of the ability-
to-pay study assessing the cost share for rehabilitation work
done on the St. Mary's Project and notes the study found that
irrigators are unable to provide a local cost share for work on
the project. The Committee further appreciates Reclamation's
work to respond to and repair the critical failure on the St.
Mary's Diversion and reminds Reclamation these repairs are
eligible for additional funding in to this project Water
Conservation and Delivery. If additional funds are provided to
this project, such funds shall be non-reimbursable.
WaterSMART Program.--The Committee is concerned about the
unique water challenges faced by the non-contiguous States and
territories and notes that Congress recently made Hawaii,
Alaska, and Puerto Rico, as well as American Samoa, Guam, the
Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands eligible
applicant locations for WaterSMART grants. Reclamation is
encouraged to conduct outreach in all non-contiguous States and
territories about this and other available funding
opportunities to address and mitigate water challenges in these
jurisdictions.
WaterSMART Program: Cooperative Watershed Management
Program Outreach.--Reclamation is strongly encouraged to
conduct additional outreach and prioritize program investments
in rural, historically underserved, and Tribal communities, as
these regions typically have less capacity to develop multi-
benefit watershed projects. Reclamation shall take additional
steps to make the program more accessible, including continuing
to offer funding opportunities more than once per year and
streamlining the application process. Reclamation is directed
to provide the Committee, within 120 days of enactment of this
act, a briefing and report on program execution and
recommendations to enhance long term capability and
effectiveness.
WaterSMART Program: Multi-Benefit Projects.--The Committee
supports the continued development of a pipeline of high-
priority, multi-benefit water projects. Reclamation is reminded
that non-profit conservation organizations are eligible
applicants without needing to partner with an entity with water
or power delivery authority for multi-benefit projects to
improve watershed health and Environmental Water Resources
Projects to improve the condition of a natural feature or
nature-based feature on Federal land, so long as notice is
provided and no objection received. The Committee directs
Reclamation to provide a briefing, no later than 60 days after
enactment of this act, on the progress of these efforts,
including a review of the number of water conservation projects
funded with a monitoring plan for an increase in streamflows or
aquatic habitat.
WIIN Title XVI Cost Share.--The Committee directs
Reclamation to index the project Federal cost share cap for
eligible projects as authorized in section 4009(c) of the WIIN
Act to inflation.
Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project.--The
Committee strongly supports the Yakima River Basin Integrated
Water Resource Management Plan. This innovative water
management plan addresses water storage, water supply, fishery
and ecosystem restoration needs for agriculture, fish, and
municipalities within the Yakima River basin in central
Washington. The Committee encourages Reclamation to budget
appropriately for this work in order to move forward on
implementing authorized components of the plan and directs
Reclamation to accelerate implementation of the Yakima Basin
Integrated Plan projects within the funding recommended.
Additional Funding for Water and Related Resources Work.--
The Committee recommendation includes funds in addition to the
budget request for Water and Related Resources studies,
projects, and activities. Priority in allocating these funds
shall be given to advance and complete ongoing work, including
preconstruction activities, and where environmental compliance
has been completed; improve water supply reliability; improve
water deliveries; enhance national, regional, or local economic
development; promote job growth; advance Tribal and non-Tribal
water settlement studies and activities; or address critical
backlog maintenance and rehabilitation activities. Reclamation
is encouraged to allocate additional funding for aquifer
recharging efforts to address the ongoing backlog of related
projects. Reclamation is reminded that activities authorized
under Indian Water Rights Settlements are eligible to compete
for the additional funding under ``Water Conservation and
Delivery.'' Reclamation shall allocate additional funding
recommended in this account consistent with the following
direction:
--Of the additional funding recommended under the heading
``Water Conservation and Delivery,'' $50,000,000 shall
be for implementing the Drought Contingency Plan in the
Lower Colorado River Basin to create or conserve
recurring Colorado River water that contributes to
supplies in Lake Mead and other Colorado River water
reservoirs in the Lower Colorado Basin or projects to
improve the long-term efficiency of operations in the
Lower Colorado River Basin, consistent with the
Secretary's obligations under the Colorado River
Drought Contingency Plan Authorization Act of 2019
(Public Law 116-14) and related agreements. These water
conservation activities may include well construction
and irrigation-related structural or other measures;
programs and projects that result in conservation of
surface water or groundwater; or improve water system
efficiency, resiliency, reliability, delivery, and
conveyance, including canal system improvements. None
of these funds shall be used for the operation of the
Yuma Desalting Plant and nothing in this section shall
be construed as limiting existing or future
opportunities to augment the water supplies of the
Colorado River.
--Of the additional funding recommended under the heading
``Water Conservation and Delivery,'' $3,000,000 shall
be to develop a decision support system for
agricultural producers, water allocation managers,
fisheries managers, and recreationalists, in order to
implement strategies to sustain and increase
effectiveness of water use in the Upper Missouri
Watershed. The purpose of the system should be to
better manage and deliver water more efficiently to
satisfy the competing needs of irrigation,
municipalities, power generation, and the environment.
--Of the additional funding recommended under the heading
``Water Conservation and Delivery,'' $20,000,000 shall
be for construction of the WEB Water expansion to the
Town of Aberdeen, which is a regional water supply
project that is part of the Water Investment in
Northern South Dakota [WINS] project, which will
provide a reliable water source to rural water
providers, communities, strategic economic businesses,
and the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate Tribe in northern South
Dakota.
CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT RESTORATION FUND
GROSS APPROPRIATION
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $48,508,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 55,656,000
Committee recommendation................................ 55,656,000
The Committee recommends funding for the Central Valley
Project Restoration Fund, that is fully offset by collections,
resulting in a net appropriation of $55,656,000.
The Central Valley Project Restoration Fund was authorized
in the Central Valley Project Improvement Act, title 34 of
Public Law 102-575. This fund uses revenues from payments by
project beneficiaries and donations for habitat restoration,
improvement and acquisition, and other fish and wildlife
restoration activities in the Central Valley project area of
California. Payments from project beneficiaries include several
required by the act (Friant Division surcharges, higher charges
on water transferred to non-Central Valley Project users, and
tiered water prices) and, to the extent required in
appropriations acts, additional annual mitigation and
restoration payments.
CALIFORNIA BAY-DELTA RESTORATION
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $33,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 33,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 33,000,000
The Committee recommends $33,000,000 for California Bay-
Delta Restoration, the same as the budget request.
This account funds activities that are consistent with the
CALFED Bay-Delta Program, a collaborative effort involving 18
State and Federal agencies and representatives of California's
urban, agricultural, and environmental communities. The goals
of the program are to improve fish and wildlife habitat, water
supply reliability, and water quality in the San Francisco Bay-
San Joaquin River Delta, the principle hub of California's

Agency-Energy [ARPA-E], leading the world in scientific
computing, addressing the Federal Government's responsibility
for environmental cleanup and disposal of used nuclear fuel,
nonproliferation, effectively maintaining our nuclear weapons
stockpile, and supporting our nuclear Navy.
INTRODUCTION
The mission of the Department of Energy [Department] is to
ensure America's security and prosperity by addressing its
energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through
transformative science and technology solutions. To accomplish
this mission, the Secretary of Energy [Secretary] relies on a
world-class network of national laboratories, private industry,
universities, States, and Federal agencies, which allows our
brightest minds to solve our Nation's most important
challenges.
The Committee's recommendation for the Department includes
funding in both defense and non-defense budget categories.
Defense funding is recommended for atomic energy defense
activities, including the National Nuclear Security
Administration, which manages our Nation's stockpile of nuclear
weapons, prevents proliferation of dangerous nuclear materials,
and supports the Navy's nuclear fleet; defense environmental
cleanup to remediate the former nuclear weapons complex; and
safeguards and security for Idaho National Laboratory. Non-
defense funding is recommended for the Department's energy
research and development programs (including nuclear, fossil,

The Committee's recommendation includes control points to
ensure the Secretary spends taxpayer funds in accordance with
congressional direction. The Committee's recommendation also
includes reprogramming guidelines to allow the Secretary to
request permission from the Committee for certain expenditures,
as defined below, which would not otherwise be permissible. The
Secretary's execution of appropriated funds shall be fully
consistent with the direction provided under this heading and
in section 301 of the bill, unless the Committee includes
separate guidelines for specific actions in the bill or report.
Prior to obligating any funds for an action defined below
as a reprogramming, the Secretary shall notify and obtain
approval of the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of
Congress. The Secretary shall submit a detailed reprogramming
request in accordance with section 301 of the bill, which
shall, at a minimum, justify the deviation from prior
congressional direction and describe the proposed funding
adjustments with specificity. The Secretary shall not, pending
approval from the Committee, obligate any funds for the action
described in the reprogramming proposal.
The Secretary is also directed to inform the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress promptly and fully
when a change in program execution and funding is required
during the fiscal year.
Definition.--A reprogramming includes:
--the reallocation of funds from one activity to another
within an appropriation;

Department is directed to notify the Committee at least 30 days
prior to any non-competitive research, development,
demonstration, or deployment award.
The Committee recommends the Department list regional
councils and councils of governments as eligible entities in
competitions for Federal funding whenever local governments or
non-profit agencies are eligible entities for a competitive
solicitation. Furthermore, the Committee recommends the
Department actively seek opportunities for regional councils
and councils of governments to serve as lead applicants and
grantees in order to encourage and expand greater regional
collaboration.
Cost Share Waivers.--Section 988 of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005 provides authority for the Secretary to waive cost
share requirements under some circumstances. The Department is
directed to notify the Committee at least 15 days prior to
waiving cost share requirements for any research, development,
demonstration, or deployment award.
Commonly Recycled Paper.--The Department shall not expend
funds for projects that knowingly use as a feedstock commonly
recycled paper that is segregated from municipal solid waste or
collected as part of a collection system that comingles
commonly recycled paper with other solid waste at any point
from the time of collection through materials recovery.
Future Year Energy Report.--The Department is still not in
compliance with its statutory requirement to submit to
Congress, at the time that the budget request is submitted, a
future-years energy program that covers the fiscal year of the
budget request and the four succeeding years, as required by
law in the fiscal year 2012 act. The Department is directed to
provide this expeditiously and in future budget requests.
Technical Assistance.--Community assistance provides
predictability with respect to project development. The
Committee encourages the Department to make additional efforts
to ensure viability and success of projects by addressing
permitting risk, workforce, and capital formation. These
efforts are allowable as costs under Federal cost share
principles, and are encouraged to occur in tandem with funding
negotiations between the Department and the project.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

competitiveness and leadership, the full extent of innovation
from small, innovative enterprises should be prominently
integrated into the DOE's efforts. The Committee is pleased
that on February 27, 2024, the Department of Energy published
``Phase III Awards: Statutory & Policy Provision,'' to clarify
Department of Energy's [SBIR] and [STTR] programs policies on
treating SBIR Phase III Provisions. The Committee encourages
the Secretary to carry out an education and training program
across the Department to educate contracting officials to
ensure that the use of SBIR Phase III is well understood
throughout the DOE enterprise.
Grid Modernization.--The Committee recognizes the value of
a diverse range of clean distributed energy resources. The
Committee directs the Department to evaluate opportunities, in
coordination with the Office of Clean Energy Demonstration, to
deploy multi-resource microgrids that incorporate dispatchable,
fuel-flexible, renewable-fuel-compatible, distributed
generation technologies, including but not limited to linear
generator technology, paired with variable output renewable
resources and battery storage technology, in order to
simultaneously achieve substantial carbon and criteria
emissions reductions, ensure multi-day resilience, and improve
energy security and independence. Further, the Department is
directed to work with appropriate stakeholders, including,
utilities, grid modelers and planners, and transmission owners
to identify and develop methods and models that (1) use
artificial intelligence [AI] to improve real-time operations
such as resource and load forecasting, line switching, and
demand response to optimize reliability and efficiency of
energy delivery based on near-real-time weather forecasts and
available grid and load data, and (2) use AI to reduce
interconnection queues by improving interconnection reliability
assessment and planning models and tools that will expedite
required interconnection studies (for example, to evaluate more
scenarios faster and more accurately) and increase reliability
through more rigorous modeling, such as inclusion of
electromagnetic transient simulations to identify potential
disruptions or reliability concerns, when new generators are
proposed.
Carbon Dioxide Removal.--The recommendation includes not
less than $144,000,000 for research, development, and
demonstration of carbon dioxide removal technologies, including
not less than $12,000,000 from the Office of Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy [EERE], not less than $80,000,000 from
Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management [FECM], and not
less than $52,000,000 from the Office of Science.
Within available funding, the Department is directed to
support research, development, and demonstration of diverse
carbon dioxide removal technologies and approaches, to be
appropriately coordinated between FECM, the Office of Science,
EERE, and any other relevant program offices or agencies. The
Committee supports funding going to the Carbon Dioxide Removal
Research, Development, and Demonstration Program authorized in
section 5001, division Z of Public Law 116-260. Further
Committee direction on the carbon purchasing program is
provided within FECM.
Equity and Justice.--The Committee notes the Department's
continuing efforts and progress in implementing the Justice40
Initiative, the energy justice initiative, and Executive Order
14008.
Critical Minerals.--The Committee supports the Department's
coordination of critical minerals activities across the
Department through the Critical Materials Collaboration. The
Committee encourages the Department to work with other relevant
Federal departments and agencies to increase domestic critical
mining, production, processing, recycling, and manufacturing in
order to secure supply chains for new energy development.
The recommendation includes not less than $249,000,000 for
research, development, demonstration, and commercialization
activities on the development of alternatives to, recycling of,
and efficient production and use of critical minerals,
including not less than $168,000,000 from EERE, not less than
$56,000,000 from FECM, and not less than $25,000,000 from the
Office of Science. The Department is encouraged to carry out
these activities pursuant to sections 7001 and 7002 of the
Energy Act of 2020.
The Committee believes we must reduce U.S. dependence on
foreign sources of critical minerals due to environmental,
economic, human rights, and national security concerns
associated with sourcing critical minerals from China. To do
so, we must invest in innovative systems and methods to improve
the sustainability of certain critical minerals, enhance the
reliability of critical mineral supply chains for U.S. battery
producers and users, and minimize the landfill waste at the end
of the useful live of these batteries. Circularity initiatives
strengthen domestic manufacturing and support U.S. workers by
identifying innovative technology solutions to recycle and
reuse existing battery resources for second-life opportunities.
The Committee directs Advanced Research Projects Agency--
Energy, the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies
Office, and the Vehicle Technologies Office to, where
appropriate, prioritize funding efforts to research, develop,
prototype, and deploy technology to improve the circularity of
battery supply chains and battery recycling in such a way to
address critical mineral sustainability and reliability
concerns.

Department to establish the Low-Emissions Steel Manufacturing
Research Program in accordance with subtitle D of title IV of
the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (42 U.S.C.
17111a).
The Committee believes that innovative energy sources are
necessary for manufacturers to transition from traditional
carbon-emitting fuels to fuels with significantly lower
greenhouse gases on a net basis. In support of that transition,
more data is necessary for the long-term sustainability of
combusting non-traditional fuels. The Department of Energy's
Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap emphasizes that greater
research, design, and deployment into alternative fuels usage
is necessary to reduce carbon emissions in the industrial
sector. The Committee encourages the Department to partner with
an institution of higher learning to conduct research on
greenhouse gas and other air emissions from the combustion and
energy recovery of non-traditional fuels, such as biomass,
wood, pulp and paper, agricultural waste, plastics, and
municipal waste in cement manufacturing. The Committee expects
the program to compare and analyze the calorific/heating value;
greenhouse gas & other pollutants over any possible lifecycles
of the fuel; fuel collection, processing and supply, and the
regulatory barriers to utilizing potential fuels over
traditional ones. The Committee also directs the Department to
conduct this research in consultation with other agencies, as
necessary. The Committee directs the Department to report its
progress of data collection to Committee within a year of
enactment of this act.
Grid Modernization and Artificial Intelligence.--The
Committee includes up to $20,000,000 to the Grid Deployment
Office and Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to
work with appropriate stakeholders, including, utilities, grid
modelers and planners, and transmission owners to identify and
develop methods and models that (1) use artificial intelligence
(AI) to improve real-time operations such as resource and load
forecasting, line switching, and demand response to optimize
reliability and efficiency of energy delivery based on near-
real-time weather forecasts and available grid and load data,
and (2) use AI to reduce interconnection queues by improving
interconnection reliability assessment and planning models and
tools that will expedite required interconnection studies (for
example, to evaluate more scenarios faster and more accurately)
and increase reliability through more rigorous modeling, such
as inclusion of electromagnetic transient simulations to
identify potential disruptions or reliability concerns, when
new generators are proposed.
Energy Storage.--The Committee supports the Department's
Energy Storage Grand Challenge [ESGC] and Long-Duration Storage
Shot initiatives, which includes cost-shared demonstrations of
energy storage technologies. The ESGC builds on the
Department's prior research and development efforts in storage
and will align Energy Storage research and development efforts
to focus on technical, regulatory, and market issues necessary
to achieve the technology goals. The Department is directed to
continue to provide the Committee updates on the ESGC and make
publically available a crosscutting research and development
road-map through 2030 to illustrate the ESGC's goals. This
road-map shall be focused on reducing costs and improving the
performance of a diverse set of grid-scale storage technologies
to meet industry needs, improve reliability and environmental
performance of the electricity grid, and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. The Department is directed to carry out these
activities in accordance with sections 3201 and 3202 of the
Energy Act of 2020.
The Committee is aware of the Department's efforts to
expand the capabilities of the United States in advanced
battery manufacturing, including for long-duration grid-scale
energy storage and electric vehicles. As the Department
continues its efforts to scale up a domestic advanced battery
supply chain, including battery manufacturing demonstration
projects, the Committee encourages the Department to seek a
broad spectrum of battery chemistries not wholly exclusive to
lithium-ion based battery technology.
The recommendation includes not less than $620,000,000 for
energy storage, including not less than $383,000,000 from EERE,
not less than $94,000,000 from the Office of Electricity [OE],
not less than $3,000,000 from FECM, not less than $16,000,000
from NE, and not less than $124,000,000 from the Office of
Science.
Alternative Modes of Transportation.--The Committee notes
the Department's ongoing efforts to develop technologies and
low carbon fuels that will reduce emission in shipping,
aviation, agricultural, and long distance transportation.
Hastening the availability of low- and no-carbon
alternatives to diesel fuel for locomotives will be essential
to achieving a net-zero emissions economy while also meeting
our Nation's projected 50 percent growth in freight
transportation demand by 2050. As part of the U.S. National
Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization, the Department
States, ``Freight rail research should be prioritized to
determine the most promising paths to decarbonization,
including a focus on sustainable fuels and the design and
manufacture of new locomotive propulsion and fueling systems.''
The Committee notes there are ongoing efforts to further the
use of technologies that will reduce emissions in existing
locomotive fleets, such as different blends of renewable diesel
and biodiesel, as well as to accelerate the commercial
viability of alternative propulsion methods, including
batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. The Committee directs the
Department to regularly consult with railroads and rail
manufacturers and suppliers to determine which research
projects will best advance the commercial viability of these
respective technologies and help to identify the pathway to
decarbonization for the industry.
Further, the Committee encourages the Department to
accelerate its work on sustainable aviation fuels, with a focus
on getting feedstocks and biorefining processes for net-zero
emission fuels into demonstration as it works to meet the goals
of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge. The Committee
encourages the Department to develop a clear framework for
evaluating the emissions reduction potential of different
sustainable aviation fuel pathways and to prioritize research
and development of fuels with the greatest potential to reduce
GHG emissions while avoiding unintended consequences on forests
and food supply chains. The Department is encouraged to work
with other Federal agencies and the National labs to coordinate
efforts to advance sustainable aviation fuels and work in
coordination with aviation manufacturers. Additionally, the
Committee directs the Department to factor growth in
sustainable aviation fuel research, development, demonstration,
and deployment into future year budget requests.

The Committee recommends up to $35,000,000 with a 50
percent industry cost-share to continue the SuperTruck III
program and further address the energy efficiency,
CO2 reduction potential, and freight efficiency of
heavy and medium duty long and regional haul vehicles,
including Class-8 long haul trucks and associated charging
infrastructure. Further, the SuperTruck program is encouraged
to focus on integrating electrified vehicles into existing
heavy duty trucking fleets and optimizing their usage to
minimize GHG emissions while maintaining or improving the
fleets' operational performance. This integration should
include activities such as developing charging infrastructure
at the fleet depot, fleet connectivity improvements, and
improved battery health monitoring. The objective is to
expedite electrification of fleets through optimized
integration and use.
The Committee is concerned that local governments and
public utilities are experiencing unforeseen and unpredictable
costs related to permitting, interconnection, and energization
challenges, and thus the deployment of electric vehicle
charging stations is being delayed. Within one year of
enactment, the Committee directs the Joint Office of Energy and
Transportation to brief the Committee on how voluntary
technical assistance and grants are used to reduce the time and
costs associated with permitting, inspecting, energizing, and
interconnecting publicly available electric vehicle supply
equipment. The Department is encouraged through the Joint
Office to increase deployment and accessibility of electric
vehicle charging infrastructure in underserved or disadvantaged
communities through grants, technical assistance, and community
engagement and to address ``soft costs'' of installing EV
charging infrastructure, such as permitting, interconnection
and energization challenges, to accelerate deployment.
Renewable Natural Gas [RNG] and hydrogen can be low-to-
negative carbon fuels which can be sourced from a variety of
renewable feedstocks, but deployment has been limited to RNG
production from manure, organic wastes and biogas from
landfills, and from hydrogen from fossil fuels or
electrolyzers. To dramatically expand RNG and renewable
hydrogen production to assist in meeting climate goals,
gasification of wood wastes and other carbonaceous materials
will need to be realized. To assist in technology solutions,
particularly around syngas clean-up and lower carbon
intensities for RNG and hydrogen produced, the Hydrogen and
Fuel Cell Technologies Office in coordination with the
Bioenergy Technologies Office, the Committee recommends
$5,000,000 to support R&D or the development of conversion and
purification processes to advance the supply of RNG lean
hydrogen, and other impactful products from syngas. This
includes the development of gasification and clean up
technologies that can successfully and economically convert
wood, agricultural, and municipal solid waste into these
products. Further, the Committee recommends up to $50,000,000
for research related to the development, pre-piloting,
piloting, and demonstration scale-up of renewable LPG or
alternative fuels production, in parallel to the Department's
focus on the scale-up of sustainable aviation fuels
technologies.
Vehicle Technologies.--The Committee recommends
$250,000,000 for Battery and Electrification Technologies. The
Committee recognizes the increasing domestic manufacturing
opportunities for electric battery production for vehicles. The
Committee also recognizes the challenges associated with
domestically sourcing necessarily minerals for battery

from Department contractors did not adequately address the
reporting requirements set forth in the joint explanatory
statement [JES] from the Department of Energy and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-42). The
Committee continues to be concerned about the extensive payroll
and other personally identifiable data that the Department has
collected that covers thousands of employees, the numerous
Privacy Act protection waivers, storage, and transparency of
costs. The Committee notes that the report, as submitted, does
not include the appropriate level of detail to satisfy the
requirements of the JES.
For example, although the report notes that costs to store
the data are negligible and that costs to analyze the data
could be up to $275,000 in fiscal year 2024, the fiscal year
2025 budget request for the OIG includes an additional
$5,089,000 that appears to support an increase in ``investments
in cloud technology, forensic hardware, and software to sustain
the data analytics program, cyber, and technical crimes
capabilities.'' The report also failed to include any
information related to outyear funding required for the OIG's
efforts. The Committee continues to be concerned about the lack
of transparency over the sources and amounts of funding that
the Department is proposing to allocate for these efforts.
Additionally, the report failed to include the specific
policies that would protect sensitive personal data from abuse
or disclosure and only generically addressed the concerns
expressed in the JES about the proposed broad Privacy Act
exemptions. The report also fails to include the specific
justification for such a broad aggregation of contractor data.
Accordingly, the Committee continues for fiscal year 2025
the direction that was included in the JES that prior to
obligating any funding in fiscal year 2025 to modify the
statement of records referenced in the JES, to collect any
additional data, or to populate it, the Department and the OIG
shall provide a report to the Committee that is comprehensively
responsive to the JES and shall provide a briefing to discuss
the Committee's concerns immediately upon enactment of this
act.
ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES
NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
The Committee recommendation for the National Nuclear
Security Administration [NNSA] continues funding for
recapitalization of our nuclear weapons infrastructure, while
modernizing and maintaining a safe, secure, and credible
nuclear deterrent without the need for underground testing.
The Committee supports continuing important efforts to
secure and permanently eliminate remaining stockpiles of
nuclear and radiological materials both here and abroad to
reduce the global danger from the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction. The Committee also supports Naval Reactors
and the important role they play in enabling the Navy's nuclear
fleet.
A highly skilled and diverse workforce is required to
maintain and modernize the nuclear weapons stockpile and
execute the global nonproliferation initiatives of the NNSA.
The Committee commends the NNSA for considerable progress made
to recruit and retain this unique workforce.
NNSA maintains that its mission is driven by military
requirements and the global world landscape. But too often NNSA
has over-promised, over-spent, and under-delivered on its
important commitments. It is imperative, both in responsibility
to the taxpayers and our national security, that NNSA maintain
its focus on improving the management of projects and programs.
This responsibility is not without a roadmap. The Government
Accountability Office [GAO] has made numerous recommendations
to NNSA to improve management of its projects and programs. As
of June 2024, GAO considers 72 recommendations it has made to
NNSA as open. Some of these recommendations have remained open
since 2015. The Committee therefore directs NNSA to continue
providing quarterly briefings on the status and progress of
GAO's open recommendations to NNSA. These briefings shall
detail the actions NNSA has taken or plans to take to address
each open recommendation, timeframes for completion, and any
barriers to implementing the recommendation.
The Committee acknowledges the ongoing work with GAO to
update the March 2020 report on the Uranium Processing Facility
[UPF] to identify the causes of UPF cost growth and schedule
slippage; corrective actions to address these problems; and the
scope, cost, and schedule of activities funded by the Uranium
Modernization program. Further, NNSA is directed to continue
working with GAO as they carry out this work to identify and
address any downstream effects of the delays.
The Committee notes that NNSA has yet to furnish the report
required by Senate Report 118-72 detailing the requirements
(e.g. statutory/regulatory, executive orders, Nuclear Weapons
Council, internal directives, policy, etc.) that NNSA operates
under and how NNSA negotiates, prioritizes, and balances them;
examples of requirements considered through the Nuclear Weapons
Council that NNSA either modified or rejected as infeasible;
examples of significant changes in NNSA requirements over the
past decade and the negative effects that were realized when
NNSA could not meet its original requirements; the extent to
which some requirements may be changed to better match agency
capabilities or capabilities that may be expanded to meet
requirements; and based on current and planned weapons
modernization, a rank ordering of the production infrastructure
most urgently needed over the next 20 years. NNSA is directed
to provide this report immediately upon enactment of this act.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The Committee notes NNSA's inability to properly estimate
costs and timelines for large projects. NNSA is encouraged to
assess and reassess as needed current performance on projects
costing more than $750,000,000, and make appropriate project
management changes. When reassessing, the Committee encourages
NNSA to identify problems in cost and schedule estimates early,
and provide updated information to the Committee immediately.
Weapons Activities
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $19,108,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 19,848,644,000
Committee recommendation................................ 19,930,000,000
The Committee recommends $19,930,000,000 for Weapons
Activities to ensure the safety, security, reliability, and
effectiveness of the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile without
the need for underground nuclear testing.
University Collaboration.--The Committee continues to note
the progress of the NNSA Center of Excellence in supporting
collaborative research for stockpile applications and the
student pipeline for the human resource needs of the national
security enterprise. Within available funds, the Committee is
also supportive of expanding the partnerships with the whole
enterprise using artificial intelligence and data analytics
applications. NNSA is encouraged to continue these efforts,
including developing a recruiting pipeline capability across
the enterprise, in consultation with institutions that have an
existing track record with institutions traditionally
underrepresented in the nuclear security industry, including
Minority Serving Institutions.
Streamlining Construction of Non-Nuclear Facilities.--Last
year, Congress directed NNSA to evaluate options to streamline
construction of non-nuclear facilities and brief the Committee
on proposed pilot projects. To date, the Department has not
provided that brief. The Department is directed to provide the
requested brief within 120 days after enactment of this act.
STOCKPILE MANAGEMENT
Plutonium Pit Production.--The Committee continues to be
concerned that NNSA is not fully accounting for risk to
schedule and cost for its two-site pit production strategy. A
September 2020 GAO Report on the W87-1 Warhead Program
recommended that NNSA's plutonium program office ensure that
the integrated master schedule for pit production meet NNSA
Integrated Master Schedule [NIMS] standards, consistent with
best practices for schedule development. In January 2023, GAO
found that NNSA's pit production schedule does not meet minimum
qualifications to be considered an integrate master schedule.
As of June 2024, this recommendation is still considered unmet.
NNSA is directed to brief the Committee on the progress of
meeting this recommendation immediately upon enactment of this
act.
The Committee supports investment in pit production in
recognition of new threats and challenges maintaining readiness
on aging systems. The Committee recommends not less than
$10,000,000 for next-generation machining and assembly
technology development for high volume pit production.
As the Committee directed in Public Law 118-42, NNSA must
enter into an agreement with the scientific advisory group
known as JASON to conduct an assessment of the September 2021
report entitled ``Research Program Plan for Plutonium and Pit
Aging.'' As previously directed, the assessment is required to
include the following: (1) Review whether that report meets the
criteria for appropriate pit aging research described by JASON
in its 2019 Pit Aging Letter Report (JSR-19-2A); (2) suggest
any improvements or additions to that report; (3) review the
initial data collected by the national laboratories under that
report to determine if it is possible to update the expected
lifetime of plutonium pits; and (4) if unable to update the
expected lifetime of plutonium pits, JASON shall provide an
estimate of when such an update is possible. In accordance with
previous Committee direction, NNSA is once again directed to
enter into an agreement with JASON immediately upon enactment
of this act, and brief the Committee on the anticipated
timeline for the assessment.
Stockpile Major Modernization.--The Committee is concerned
at the lack of detail and level of specificity provided by NNSA
in response to requests for obligation reports of previously
appropriated funds and spend plans for future funding on the
SLCM-N program. The Committee is also concerned by the high
level of uncosted balances on the SLCM-N program as of July
2024, and the lack of sufficient justification for the
$70,000,000 requested in the FY25 Unfunded Priorities List.
NNSA is directed to provide in writing to the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress a detailed five-year
spend plan that will include a breakdown of which sites are
receiving W80-X Alteration-SLCM funds, what is being studied
and worked on at each site and for what purpose, and a detailed
explanation of why resources are necessary for carrying out
that work at each specific site. The spend plan should also
include how NNSA is utilizing funding in collaboration with the
Department of Defense to meet DOD's timeline for W80-X
Alteration-SLCM-N development. The report shall be provided to
the Committees within 90 day of enactment.
STOCKPILE RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING
The Committee recommends $3,379,510,000 for Stockpile
Research, Technology, and Engineering.
Academic Programs.--The Committee recommends $128,188,000
for Academic Programs, recognizing the importance of the
Academic Programs in supporting fundamental science and
technology research at universities that support stockpile
stewardship, the development of the next generation of a highly
trained workforce, and the maintenance of a strong network of
independent technical peers. Of the funds provided for the
NNSA's Academic Alliances Programs, $12,000,000 is designated
for the Tribal Colleges and Universities Partnership Program
and $45,000,000 for the Minority Serving Institution
Partnership Program. NNSA is directed to fully distribute this
designated funding.
Inertial Confinement Fusion Ignition and High-Yield.--The
Committee recommends $760,000,000 for the inertial confinement
fusion [ICF] ignition and high-yield campaign. The Committee
supports prioritization of facility sustainment efforts at the
three leading ICF facilities consistent with NNSA's ICF
sustainment facility and infrastructure plan submitted to
Congress. Within available funds, not less than $462,000,000
for the National Ignition Facility [NIF], not less than
$93,000,000 for the Z Facility, not less than $105,000,000 for
the OMEGA laser facility, and not less than $32,000,000 for Los
Alamos National Laboratory. A predictable and sustained
availability of targets is essential to the operations of
NNSA's ICF facilities. As such, the Committee provides not less
than $45,000,000 for target research, development, and
fabrication to cost-effectively operate the NIF, Z, and OMEGA
facilities.
Advanced Simulation and Computing.--The Committee
recommends $879,500,000 for Advanced Simulation and Computing.
The Committee directs the Department to continue developing a
multi-year program, leveraging public-private partnerships to
co-design and co-develop leading edge post-Exascale Computing
Initiative [ECI] advanced computing technologies vital for
continued U.S. world leadership in scientific discovery,
national security, and economic well-being.
Strategic Computing Complex Satellite Campus Feasibility
Study.--The Committee recognizes that Los Alamos National
Laboratory's growth is currently constrained by limited housing
stock and insufficient electrical power supply. As such, NNSA
is directed to spend up to $2,000,000 to conduct a land
development study evaluating the feasibility of locating
successor computing systems at a satellite facility. The
feasibility study should include consideration of Espanola,
Pojoaque, and White Rock, New Mexico. The study should evaluate
the potential satellite location's physical, environmental,
legal, and regulatory issues of the potential site, as well as
consideration of the site's water and electrical resources,
soil quality, topography, drainage, utilities, and housing
availability. NNSA should solicit input from tribes and local
governments. NNSA is directed to provide a copy of the
finalized study and brief the Committee immediately upon
completion.
Tritium and Domestic Uranium Enrichment.--The nuclear
deterrent relies on an efficient and reliable system to process
tritium in quantities that meet current and future stockpile
stewardship requirements. The Committee recognizes the
Department's multi-program research and development efforts to
assess tritium requirements and capabilities that can be used
in the near term to mature technology and deploy in a relevant
environment, as well as evaluating future facility investments.
The Committee directs NNSA to provide a briefing to the
Committee not less than 60 days after enactment of this act on
its plan to develop, test, and validate new surveillance and
processing technologies associated with tritium operations that
are cost effective and provide greater efficiency, and
reliability.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS
Operations.--As part of implementing the Department of
Energy's Environmental Impact Statement [EIS] 0293, NNSA is
directed to spend up to $500,000 to conduct a study of portions
of Tract A-14 (Rendija Canyon) that may be suitable for
conveyance for residential use. Suitable land means subtracts
that have been identified by NNSA in consultation with the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers that meet the requirements for
conveyance under Public Law 105-119, require minimal
remediation, and will meet the Department of Energy Order 458.1
and National Environmental Policy Act requirements for
conveyance. NNSA shall submit to the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees a report with the results of the
study immediately upon completion.
Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $2,581,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 2,465,108,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,630,000,000
The Committee recommends $2,630,000,000 for Defense Nuclear
Nonproliferation. The Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation program
is critically important to our National security by preventing
nuclear materials and weapons from falling into the wrong
hands, including non-nuclear weapon States, terrorist
organizations, and non-state actors. This program helps protect
our Nation from emerging and ever evolving threats.
UNIVERSITY CONSORTIA FOR NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION RESEARCH
The Department of Energy's four University Consortia for
Nuclear Nonproliferation Research link basic university
research with applied laboratory research to advance technical
capabilities in support of nuclear security and
nonproliferation missions of NNSA, and enable an effective
pipeline of talented next-generation experts to contribute to
the future success of the National laboratories. The Committee
recognizes the importance of this program and fully funds these
efforts within Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and
Development.
Nonproliferation Stewardship Program.--The recommendation
provides $165,000,000 for the Nonproliferation Stewardship
Program. NNSA is encouraged to support additional research,
workforce development and buildout of infrastructure to address
national security challenges related to uranium processing,
enrichment, and weaponization by foreign actors.
Naval Reactors
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $1,946,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 2,118,773,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,077,000,000
The Committee recommends $2,077,000,000 for Naval Reactors.
COLUMBIA-CLASS REACTOR SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
The Committee recommends $45,610,000 for Columbia-Class
Reactor Systems Development. Columbia-class submarines remain
vital to maintaining our survivable deterrent.
The Committee recommends $868,380,000 for Naval Reactors
Development. The Committee directs Naval Reactors to continue
providing quarterly briefings to the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress outlining its
research and development program's direction and plan for the
future. Within the available funds, the Committee recommends
$94,750,000 for the Advanced Test Reactor.
Federal Salaries and Expenses
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $500,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 564,475,000
Committee recommendation................................ 564,000,000
The Committee recommends $564,000,000 for Federal Salaries
and Expenses. The Committee continues to support funding for
the necessary recruitment and retention of the highly-skilled
personnel needed to meet NNSA's important mission. NNSA is
directed to continue providing monthly updates on the status of
hiring and retention. NNSA is experiencing its highest work
tempo in decades as it seeks to modernize the nuclear weapons
stockpile and its supporting infrastructure. At the same time,
changing geopolitics are challenging nonproliferation and arms
control regimes, affecting how NNSA pursues its programmatic
objectives. NNSA's Federal workforce is essential to the
success of its missions, and the Committee is concerned that
morale in the agency is impacting its ability to maximize
success. As such, the Committee directs GAO to undertake a
review of morale at NNSA with a specific focus on (1) the
factors at NNSA that contribute to both positive and negative
morale, (2) any initiatives that are underway to improve morale
and how those initiatives have been designed and their outcomes
measured, and (3) any additional opportunities the agency can
take to address morale challenges. This could include examining
how other agencies that have faced morale challenges. GAO shall
provide the results of this assessment to the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees no later than 18 months after
enactment.
Defense Environmental Cleanup
Appropriations, 2024.................................... $7,285,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025................................... 7,059,695,000
Committee recommendation................................ 7,550,000,000
The Committee recommendation for Defense Environmental
Cleanup is $7,550,000,000. Within available funds, the
Department is directed to provide $10,000,000 for the hazardous
waste worker training program
Future Budget Requests.--The Committee continues to direct
the Department to include out-year funding projections in the
annual budget request by control point for Environmental
Management, and an estimate of the total cost and time to
complete each site.
Richland.--The Committee reminds the Department that while
Hanford's tank waste mission is directly tied to commitments
between the Department, the Environmental Protection Agency,
and the Washington State Department of Ecology, Richland is
integral to the health and success of Hanford overall and must
receive the support it needs. The Committee remains concerned
about risks stemming from contamination beneath Building 324
and directs the Department to consider conducting additional
groundwater monitoring in this area.
The Committee recognizes that the Volpentest Hazardous
Materials Management and Emergency Response Federal Training
Center [HAMMER] offers nationally recognized, comprehensive
safety and emergency response training for workers across the
Department's complex and beyond. Therefore, the Committee
encourages the Department to prioritize HAMMER to the greatest
extent possible, including for training needs associated with
the High-Level Waste Facility. Further, the Committee provides
$5,000,000 for the preservation of historic structures at the
Hanford site associated with the Manhattan Project National
Historical Park. Within 90 days of enactment of this act, the
Department, in coordination with the National Park Service,
shall provide the Committee an updated list of preservation
projects at the site, in priority order.
Office of River Protection.--The Committee recommends
$2,208,105,000 for the Office of River Protection. Funding
above the request is provided for design, engineering,
procurement, and construction of the High-Level Waste Treatment
Facility. The Committee notes that the Department has reached a
holistic agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency and
the Washington State Department of Ecology. The Department is
reminded that compliance with this agreement will require
significant funding increases in future years. The Department
is directed to request adequate funding to meet the obligations
laid out in the holistic agreement in future budget requests.
Any unused funds in the 18-D-16 Waste Treatment and
Immobilization Plant--LBL/Direct Feed LAW construction line-
item may be used for Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant
commissioning and operations.
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.--Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
[WIPP] road infrastructure funding was provided to the State of
New Mexico with section 15(a) of the WIPP LWA (LWA, Public Law
102-579, as amended by Public Law 104-201) from 1999 through
2012. Provisions of section 15 of the LWA included payments to
New Mexico of $20,000,000 annually indexed for inflation, for a
14-year period. The Committee continues to recognize the
importance of well-maintained roadways throughout approved
transportation routes for promoting public safety and safe
transportation of transuranic waste to the WIPP. A September
2023 Department of Energy Report, ``Evaluation of New Mexico
Roadway Condition and Usage in Support of the Waste Isolation
Pilot Plant,'' found that 59 percent of WIPP routes are rated
as ``fair'' or lower, with 21 percent rated as ``poor.'' The
deteriorated roadway conditions near the WIPP pose a safety
risk to both WIPP staff and transuranic [TRU] shipments. Given
the deteriorated conditions of roadways, the Committee
recommends the Department make a voluntary payment of
$40,000,000 in fiscal year 2025 to the State of New Mexico for
WIPP route related road infrastructure projects. These funds
shall only be used for projects mutually agreed upon by the
Department and the State of New Mexico.
Oak Ridge Reservation.--The Office of Environmental
Management [EM] continues to support the Department of Energy's
science and defense missions at Oak Ridge through environmental
remediation, demolition of excess facilities, and the
disposition of legacy and newly generated waste. The Committee
encourages the respective programs to continue to work together
effectively and efficiently to ensure cleanup of sites and
managing waste. The Department is directed to brief the
Committee within 120 days after enactment of this act on EM's
ongoing operations in Oak Ridge, to include the costs of EM's
activities, use of EM facilities in Oak Ridge by other programs
or sites, and current cost sharing arrangements.
Technology Development.--The Committee notes that funding
designed for nuclear cleanup R&D has declined since 2000. An
October 2021 report by the U.S. Government Accountability
Office found the Department of Energy's Office of Environmental
Management should incorporate risk-informed decision-making to
set cleanup priorities within and across its sites.
Furthermore, GAO said a comprehensive approach to prioritizing
R&D that follows a risk-informed decision-making framework
would provide sites with more valuable guidance for R&D
spending beyond their immediate operational needs and help
direct its limited R&D resources to the highest priorities. The
Committee directs the Office of Environmental Management to
develop a report outlining technology development R&D projects
in priority order on an annual basis and share this report with
the Committees on Appropriations on an annual basis. The report
shall include funding necessary to carry out each project and a
rationale for the R&D work including how it is related to
reducing the future costs of the Office of EM's cleanup
efforts. Given the need to prioritize R&D funding within a
risk-informed decision-making framework, the Committee includes
no funding set-asides within the Office of Environmental
Management's Technology Development account to ensure it has
the latitude to set priorities based on mission needs and
opportunities.
Containment Ventilation Systems.--The Committee supports
the Department's efforts to expand its research and technology
development and demonstration activities to address its long-
term and technically complex cleanup challenges. The Committee
encourages the Department to continue its work on
qualification, testing and research to advance the state-of-
the-art containment ventilation systems, and directs the
Department to brief the Committee on its progress and any
future budget requirements necessary to address the
Department's other research and technology development
challenges within 120 days of enactment of this act.

are established at a rate equal to the budget authority,
resulting in a net appropriation of $0.
The Committee directs the Department and FERC together to
conduct an analysis on incentive-based (including performance-
based) rate treatments for interstate electricity transmission.
FERC is directed to provide a briefing to the Committee on its
efforts to study these rate treatments not less than 180 days
after enactment of this act.
In consultation with the Department of the Interior Bureau
of Indian Affairs, the Committee encourages FERC and the
Department of Energy to work to overcome barriers to Tribal
development of renewable energy, including, but not limited to,
the grid interconnection process.

The Commission is directed to provide budget request
amounts rounded to the thousands in all tables in future budget
request submissions.
Integrated University Program.--The Commission is directed
to use $16,000,000 of prior year, unobligated balances for the
Integrated University Program, including for grants to support
research projects that do not align with programmatic missions
but are critical to maintaining the discipline of nuclear
science and engineering. Because the Commission has already
collected fees corresponding to these activities in prior
years, the Committee does not include these funds within the
fee base calculation for determining authorized revenues, and
does not provide authority to collect additional offsetting
receipts for their use.
Reactor Oversight and Safety.--The Commission is directed
to continue to provide regular briefings to the Committee on
the Commission's current reactor oversight and safety program
and on any proposed changes before they are implemented.
Budget Execution Plan.--The Commission is directed to
provide to the Committee not later than 30 days after enactment
of this act a specific budget execution plan. The plan shall
include details at the product line level within each of the
control points.
Telework Plan.--The fiscal year 2024 directed the
Commission to provide a report with detailed metrics to
evaluate staff performance and productivity as a part of
implementing its telework policy. The Committee still awaits
this analysis and directs the Commission to provide this report
expeditiously.
Advanced Nuclear Reactor Regulatory Infrastructure.--The
recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the development of
regulatory infrastructure for advanced nuclear technologies,
which is not subject to the Commission's general fee recovery
collection requirements. The fiscal year 2024 act directed the
Commission to provide a report on organizational effectiveness
and is still awaiting the report. The committee remains
concerned about the Commission's preparedness to review and
approve license applications for first-of-a-kind reactor
technology and directs the commission to provide this report
expeditiously.
Fusion Regulatory Infrastructure.--As the Commission
updates consolidated guidance, the Commission is directed to
evaluate risk- and performance-based licensing evaluation
techniques and guidance for the use of mass-manufactured fusion
energy systems, in consultation with Agreement States and the
private fusion industry. The Commission is also encouraged to
evaluate the Federal Aviation Administration's design,
manufacturing, and operations certification process for
aircraft as a potential model for mass-manufactured fusion
energy system regulations.

DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS
The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the
purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should
make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money.
As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the
Senate, the term ``congressionally directed spending item''
means a provision or report language included primarily at the
request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a
specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit
authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan,
loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure
with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality
or congressional district, other than through a statutory or
administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process.
For each item, a Member is required to provide a
certification that neither the Member nor the Member's
immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such
congressionally directed spending item. Such certifications are
available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee
on Appropriations (https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/
congressionally-directed-spending-requests).
Following is a list of congressionally directed spending
items included in the Senate recommendation discussed in this
report, along with the name of each Senator who submitted a
request to the Committee of jurisdiction for each item so
identified. Neither the Committee recommendation nor this
report contains any limited tax benefits or limited tariff
benefits as defined in rule XLIV.
