Water Resources and Development Act

As the U.S. House of Representatives prepares to develop a Water Resources and Development Act (WRDA) in 2024, Rep. Zoe Lofgren welcomes requests for local U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) projects.

Background

WRDA authorizes studies and projects within the Corps’ Civil Works mission area, including navigation; flood, hurricane, and storm damage reduction; shoreline protection; and ecosystem restoration. Additionally, WRDA authorizes Environmental Infrastructure (EI) assistance to support local governments in the design or construction of specific water and wastewater infrastructure.

Requests

Below are forms for submitting the three most common types of WRDA requests: requests for authorizing a new study, authorizing construction of an already-studied project, and authorizing EI assistance. For other types of WRDA requests or for additional information, please email Chad Powell (chad.powell@mail.house.gov).
