Bill overview
The Water Authority and Timely Environmental Review Act of 2025 (WATER Act) establishes a program allowing states to take over responsibility for permitting projects under Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act from the Army Corps of Engineers. This would involve a written agreement between the state, the Secretary of the Army, and the EPA, potentially streamlining environmental reviews and permitting processes for highway, railroad, and public transportation projects. The act aims to improve efficiency and flexibility in managing waterway permits while ensuring compliance with federal environmental regulations.
