A bill that would authorize dozens of water infrastructure projects and studies was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on June 8.
By a vote of 384 to 37, the chamber approved the Water Resources Development Act of 2022, sponsored by Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), which would seek to pave the way for national projects on dredging, commercial navigation and flood control. Many of the bill’s provisions fall under the purview of the Army Corps of Engineers.
