House leaders are beginning the lengthy process of putting together a new Water Resources Development Act ("WRDA") for consideration in 2010. WRDA a is biennial comprehensive water resources law that authorizes studies and projects within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mission areas, including navigation, flood damage reduction, hurricane and storm damage reduction, shoreline protection and environmental restoration.
On November 8, 2007, the Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-114) was last enacted into law. This law addressed a backlog of project authorizations, modifications and studies that had accumulated since the law's previous authorization in 2000.
AGC has long advocated for timely passage of new WRDA bills to address new project studies and authorizations that have come up over the past two years.
