Bill overview
The SAND Act aims to broaden the Department of the Army’s ability to obtain materials for beach nourishment projects. Currently, the law restricts the use of foreign materials unless domestic options are unavailable. This bill removes that restriction, allowing the Army to utilize fill material from outside the United States when necessary for coastal protection. The goal is to improve the effectiveness of beach nourishment efforts by accessing a wider range of suitable resources.
