Rubio Wins Fight on Water Project Authorities
El texto de la carta en inglés está Water Resources Development Act of 2022 (WRDA) contains important authorities secured by U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) to strengthen Florida’s water resources infrastructure.
Earlier this year, Rubio placed a hold on the Senate’s WRDA legislation until several additional Florida water projects were included.
- “This legislation will do much more for Florida’s water infrastructure because of the hard-fought provisions I was proud to secure. These are important projects that will restore the Everglades and mitigate flood risks.
- “I look forward to these provisions becoming law and I will continue to fight for the health and economic viability of Florida’s waterways.” – Senator Rubio
Rubio secured the below provisions as a result of his hold:
- Port Everglades Harbor Widening and Deepening Project. Initially authorized in WRDA 2016, additional environmental assessment and mitigation costs required a modification to the project authority for the harbor deepening and widening to progress. Senator Rubio secured the needed authority.
- Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) Cost-Share Reform. Rubio’s policy closes a loophole in the CERP cost-share framework to help protect the program from being undermined by unelected bureaucrats who oppose Everglades restoration.
- Comprehensive Central and Southern Florida Study. Thanks to Rubio’s efforts, WRDA explicitly authorizes a comprehensive restudy of the Central and Southern Florida (C&SF) project for flood control. This will be the first comprehensive federal reassessment of the flood control system since 1948.
Looking forward … WRDA passed the House as part of the annual defense bill. The Senate is expected to take up the package next week.
