Congress approves a Comprehensive Plan Congress specifically authorizes individual projects developed under the Plan Plans have multiple phases of restoration, with multiple set of projects Diverse group of stakeholders Use of Adaptive Management Implementation of the Plan spans decades - 30 to 50 years Problem: streamlining the authorization process, in order to enable the appropriations process Large-Scale Ecosystem Restoration Projects

Water Resources Restoration Act (WRRA) Purposes: –To ensure the coordinated enhancement, restoration and protection of natural water systems and water resources –To authorize all U.S. Army Corps restoration projects through passage of WRRA –To begin a 2-year cycle for the passage of WRRA –Utilized as a vehicle for the long-term restoration of the physical, chemical and biological integrity of the Nation’s water resources

Water Resources Restoration Act (cont.) Prerequisites for Authorization under WRRA –Planning requirement Restoration Plan for a single activity Comprehensive Plan for activities that are interconnected –Cooperative Agreement That non-federal entities will NOT take actions that will jeopardize restoration activities or adversely affect the water resources being restored –Statement of Financial Ability The capacity to carry out cost-sharing responsibilities

Water Resources Restoration Act (cont.) Cost-Sharing Agreements –case-by-case basis for both implementation and operation & management costs Potential backlash? Support? Authorization of all restoration projects? Potential projects to be included in WRRA?
