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”

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

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”

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

Running and fixing Corps projects gets $6,013,217,000. Over half of it comes from a harbor fund.

What this is about

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.

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.
