Following the enactment of the FY 2026 energy and water spending measure, UMRBA submitted a letter to the ASA(CW) requesting allocations through the discretionary appropriations.
Namely, UMRBA is respectfully requesting continued investment in the Upper Mississippi River System Flow Frequency Study and a new study start for the Upper Mississippi River System Flood Risk Reduction and Resiliency Study as well as any additional funding to advance projects under the Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program (NESP).
UMRBA applauded the President's inclusion of $52 million for the Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program in the FY 2026 budget request that was supported by Congress and provided in the FY 2026 appropriations measure.
