$6,013,217,000 to operate and maintain Corps projects
What the document says“and removing obstructions to navigation, $6,013,217,000, to remain available until expended, of which $3,245,249,000, to be derived from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund”
The operation and maintenance account of the civil works program, the largest account in division B's Corps title. More than half of it, $3,245,249,000, comes from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund to cover the federal share of operating and maintaining coastal and inland harbors, and $416,760,000 of that is for donor and energy ports named in section 102 of the Water Resources Development Act of 2020.
What the document actually says“and removing obstructions to navigation, $6,013,217,000, to remain available until expended, of which $3,245,249,000, to be derived from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund”
Running and fixing Corps projects gets $6,013,217,000. Over half of it comes from a harbor fund.
This keeps dams, locks and channels working. Dredging keeps harbors deep enough for ships. The harbor fund is paid for by a tax on cargo.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
