Mme Delphine Lingemann appelle l'attention de M. le ministre de la transition écologique et de la cohésion des territoires sur l'incontournable travail préalable d'acceptabilité sociale des projets d'environnement d'envergure ainsi que sur l'accompagnement de ces projets et la protection des porteurs de projets. Par « projets d'envergure » s'entendent tous les projets qui visent à développer la souveraineté énergétique, à développer les infrastructures routières ou ferroviaires pour un meilleur maillage du territoire ou le développement du frêt ferroviaire, ou encore ceux qui visent à permettre la construction de retenues d'eau ou d'ouvrages d'art. La nécessité de la transition écologique semble aujourd'hui consensuelle mais la mise en œuvre des projets est lente et s'accompagne très souvent de contestations. En vue d'apaiser le débat, il apparaît comme impossible de passer outre l'acceptabilité locale des nouveaux projets destinés à concrétiser la nouvelle politique climatique de la France au risque d'intensifier les oppositions locales, voire de devenir un enjeu politique et politisé. L'urgence de certains projets sur les territoires doit conduire à leur mise en place rapide. De nombreux projets de retenues d'eau sont bloqués alors que tous les recours juridiques sont épuisés. La construction de « retenues de substitution » pour irriguer des terres cultivées, appelées par leurs détracteurs « mégabassines », est devenue en France l'un des sujets les plus sensibles et qui tourne très souvent à une guerre de l'eau totalement irrationnelle. À titre d'exemple, le 11 mai 2024, dans le Puy-de-Dôme, il est prévu une manifestation contre un projet de retenues d'eau porté par 36 agriculteurs. Un projet qui n'est même pas encore déposé auprès des services de l'État. L'appel à manifester contre ce projet est porté par le collectif « Bassines non merci 63 » auquel se sont associés les Soulèvements de la Terre, la Confédération Paysanne 63, XR 63 et les Faucheurs. Leur phrase d'appel du 11 mai est « une rando festive et déterminée pour la défense de l'eau ». Derrière des mots pacifistes se cache un projet de blocage clairement politique, soutenu par La France insoumise. Or ce projet n'a rien à voir avec celui de Sainte-Soline. On n'est pas sur le même type d'exploitation, ici ce sont des exploitations de taille modeste. Techniquement, c'est aussi bien différent. Ce ne sera pas un pompage dans les nappes phréatiques mais bien un pompage dans la rivière durant 3 mois dans l'année, seulement si un débit suffisant le permet. Devant cette situation alarmante qui pourrait même devenir dramatique pour la sécurité des biens et des personnes, elle souhaiterait connaître les mesures qu'il entend prendre pour favoriser l'acceptabilité sociale des projets essentiels pour les territoires.

Alaskan Energy Production and Fisheries Protection Act This bill provides for oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Specifically, the bill nullifies any order or action by the President or the Department of the Interior that places a moratorium on, suspends, or otherwise pauses leasing in ANWR's 1002 Area. It also ratifies and approves all authorizations and permits issued for the establishment and administration of the Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program. The Environmental Protection Agency and other applicable federal departments and agencies must process, reinstate, or continue to maintain such authorizations and permits. Within 30 days of the bill's enactment, Interior must accept bids for certain ANWR leases that were canceled and reissue the leases. The bill states that the reissued leases must be considered to meet the requirements of specified existing laws, such as the Endangered Species Act of 1973. By December 22, 2024, Interior must also conduct a second lease sale. Further, the bill limits the authority of the President and Interior to cancel future leases issued under the program. The bill also directs the Bureau of Land Management to withdraw its (1) Notice of Availability of the Draft Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement , and (2) proposed rule titled Management and Protection of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska . It also nullifies portions of Executive Order 13990 and Secretarial Order 3401. Finally, the bill limits judicial review of approvals of leases under the program.

Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument Access Act This bill permits the Department of the Interior to acquire specified land to expand the boundaries of the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine. Interior may not use eminent domain to acquire such land. Interior must allow hunting, fishing, and any other outdoor recreation activity on the newly acquired land provided the activity was in existence before the acquisition. Interior must also generally allow the gathering of fiddlehead ferns (Matteuccia struthiopteris) on the land for noncommercial use and consumption, but may impose limits if such gathering could adversely affect the monument’s resources. Interior must collaborate with local communities and tribal governments to educate the public about the natural environment and history of land management in the monument, including the shaping of the land by Native communities and practices, timber management, and other activities. The bill permits Interior to conduct noncommercial timber harvests as necessary. Interior must collaborate with stakeholders to ensure safe interactions between logging operations and visitors. Separately, the bill permits Interior to acquire up to 10 acres of land outside the boundaries but within the vicinity of the monument for visitor services and administration. Interior may enter into agreements with the State of Maine, tribal or local governments, or private entities to accomplish such an acquisition and to develop a cooperative information center for the monument.
