Bill overview
The Restoring America’s Floodplains Act aims to strengthen the Emergency Watershed Protection Program, allowing the USDA to provide financial and technical assistance for restoring and managing floodplain easements. Specifically, the bill expands the USDA’s authority to support the restoration of wetlands and vegetative cover on these easements, which are purchased to protect communities from flooding. It also gives the USDA sole discretion over agreements with landowners and other organizations involved in maintaining these restored areas.
