Bill information

Summary

To include high hazard potential dams and rural earthen dams as eligible for rehabilitation assistance under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act, and for other purposes.

Plain-language summary

This bill expands a federal program called the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act to help pay for fixing dams that pose high safety risks and rural earthen dams (dams made of soil rather than concrete). Currently, the program covers some dam repairs but not these specific types. The bill would make these dams eligible for federal money to improve or rebuild them. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and is in its early stage.
