Water Resources Development Act (WRDA): Army Corps of Engineers Authorization Issues in the 109th Congress
2006
Carter, Nicole T.
Under its civil works program, the Army Corps of Engineers plans, constructs, and operates water resources facilities primarily for flood damage reduction, navigation, and environmental purposes. The 109th Congress is considering authorizing Corps planning and construction activities, and is debating changes to Corps policies and practices, through two Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2005 bills, S. 728 and H.R. 2864. Once Corps activities are authorized, the appropriations process plays a significant role in their realization.
