Bill overview
The Twenty-First Century Dams Act aims to improve dam safety, river ecosystem health, and clean energy production by providing funding for dam rehabilitation, removal, and related programs. It reauthorizes key programs like the National Dam Safety Program and establishes a Dam Removal Council to coordinate dam removal efforts. The bill also directs the Department of the Army to develop a dam removal strategy and requires specific assessments of dams, including joint assessments by the USGS and DOE. Ultimately, the legislation seeks to modernize the nation’s dam infrastructure and mitigate associated risks.
