This bill aims to improve flood protection and infrastructure resiliency by amending several Department of Agriculture programs. It modifies the Emergency Watershed Program to allow the Secretary of Agriculture to undertake restoration measures that increase the level of protection beyond immediate impairment, focusing on long-term watershed health and preventing repetitive damage. The legislation also revises the federal funding structure for the rehabilitation of structural measures under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act, setting the federal contribution at 65 percent of total rehabilitation costs, or up to 90 percent for projects in limited resource areas . Additionally, it expands the purposes of the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) to explicitly include the prevention and mitigation of flooding and drought effects , and the improvement or expansion of flood resiliency, directing resources towards comprehensive regional efforts.
