This bill aims to strengthen the role of the Corps of Engineers in planning and implementing nonstructural flood risk management solutions. It declares that nonstructural features , such as structure elevation, floodproofing, and property acquisition, must receive equal consideration to structural features in all Corps feasibility studies. Congress finds these methods are proven, cost-effective, and preserve natural floodplain benefits, making them a fundamental part of the Corps' mission. The Act mandates that the Secretary of the Army shall not pause, terminate, or defer authorized nonstructural studies or projects for which funds are available, requiring the resumption of any such actions taken since January 20, 2025. It establishes strict disclosure requirements for District Engineers to notify non-Federal interests every 45 days on project status, schedule, and expenditures. The bill also outlines specific requirements for studies leading to congressional authorization, including the submission of Chief's Reports and the inclusion of locally preferred alternatives upon request. To enhance technical competence, the bill prohibits terminating the National Nonstructural Committee and requires the establishment of a new nonstructural working group within 90 days, comprising experts from various Federal agencies, State/local governments, and nonprofit organizations. Additionally, a mandatory nonstructural center of expertise must be designated within the Corps to consolidate technical expertise, improve study quality, and build internal capacity. These bodies will develop guidance and tools to enhance participation and implementation of nonstructural features. A significant provision modifies cost-sharing requirements for nonstructural features. The Federal share for such measures will be 90% for economically disadvantaged communities or repetitive loss structures, and 100% for severe repetitive loss structures. For other nonstructural measures, the Federal share will be 75%, applying to new projects and existing ones upon non-Federal request. The bill details requirements for property acquisition and structure demolition or relocation, emphasizing that participation must be voluntary and including costs for relocation advisory services, temporary housing, and moving expenses. It allows supplemental payments for low-income owner-occupants if replacement housing costs exceed appraised value. For structure elevation , eligible project costs are expanded to include items like seismic compliance, utility repairs, and temporary housing for displaced owner-occupants, while simplifying ownership verification.
