§2282f Review of resiliency assessments

Summary

Within 180 days after December 27, 2020, the Secretary must review and, if needed, update Army Corps guidance and rules on how to assess sea level rise and inland flooding for future water projects, using the best peer‑reviewed science and coordinating with the Engineer Research and Development Center, federal and state agencies, and other relevant groups, and using their data when practical. When a non‑Federal party asks for a feasibility study for flood risk reduction, hurricane or storm damage reduction, or ecosystem restoration, the Secretary must consider whether sea level rise or inland flooding caused or made the need worse and, to the maximum extent practicable, document the project’s likely impacts and expected benefits over the 50‑year period after completion.
