UMRBA submits to Congress its priorities for the 2022 Water Resources Development Act.
In particular, UMRBA calls for Congress to:
- Reform of the Corps' project partnership agreements
- Increase the Upper Mississippi River Restoration program's annual authorized appropriation
- Utilize the Corps' existing authorities to implement water level management on the Upper Mississippi River System
- Authorize a routine hydraulic evaluation of flow frequency probabilities and water surface profiles on the Upper Mississippi River System
- Permanently adjust the cost share of inland waterway construction and major rehabilitation projects to 25 percent from the Inland Waterway Trust Fund and 75 percent from the general Treasury
