Bill overview
This bill changes how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decides whether to dredge small ports. Currently, the Corps considers various factors, but this legislation establishes a minimum tonnage requirement of 500,000 tons for them to even consider dredging a port. Port authorities will be responsible for calculating and submitting this tonnage data to the Corps. This change aims to prioritize dredging projects serving ports with significant shipping activity.
