Water Resources Development Act of 2016

Summary

Water Resources Development Act of 2016 This bill authorizes, deauthorizes, and revises various U.S. Army Corps of Engineers water resources development and conservation projects, feasibility studies, and relationships with nonfederal project sponsors. It revises and sets forth requirements for reservoirs operations, flood risks, water supply, droughts, flood gate operations, harbor deepening, dredging, harbors of refuge, emerging harbors, donor ports, energy transfer ports, hurricane and storm damage reduction projects and safety restorations, a recovery plan for Gulf Coast oyster beds, ecosystem restoration projects, sediment management, and soil moisture and snowpack monitoring. The Corps of Engineers may carry out final feasibility studies for projects in Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. Additional assistance is provided to states with emergency public health threats associated with lead or other contaminants in a public drinking water supply system. The Department of Justice and the inspector general of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must report on the status of any ongoing investigations into the government's response to the drinking water contamination in Flint, Michigan. The Safe Drinking Water Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) are amended to set forth funding priorities and make additional subsidization available to projects that use state revolving loan funds for innovative water technologies. The EPA must establish grant programs for: (1) community water systems serving disadvantaged communities, (2) reduction of lead in water for human consumption, (3) voluntary school and child care lead testing, and (4) innovations that address water challenges. Public water systems must notify their customers of lead levels in drinking water that exceed limits under national primary drinking water regulations. The bill revises and reauthorizes through FY2021: the Water Desalination Act of 1996, with a list of funding priorities; the Department of the Interior program for making grants to state water resources research and technology institutes; the EPA's grants to states for sewer overflow control grants to municipalities, which may be used for stormwater or subsurface drainage water projects; the EPA's Great Lakes Restoration Initiative; and the Long Island Sound Restoration Program. The U.S. Forest Service's administration of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act is revised and reauthorized for a period of 10 fiscal years after enactment of this bill.
