What the document says

Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

The construction account of the civil works program of the Corps of Engineers, which builds authorized river and harbor, flood and storm damage reduction, shore protection and aquatic ecosystem restoration projects. Of the total, $217,983,000 comes from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund for dredged material disposal facilities, and 25 percent of the cost of inland waterways work comes from the Inland Waterways Trust Fund.

What the document actually says

“(but such detailed studies, and plans and specifications, shall not constitute a commitment of the Government to construction); $3,169,966,000, to remain available until expended”

Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5
That sentence, in plain words

Corps building work gets $3,169,966,000. The money has no end date. Drawing up plans does not bind the government to build.

What this is about

The Corps builds dams, levees and harbor works. Some of this money comes from harbor and waterway funds. Those funds are fed by shipping fees.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
