§2282f Review of Resiliency Assessments

Summary

Review and update the Army Corps of Engineers’ guidance and rules on how sea level rise and inland flooding affect future water projects within 180 days after December 27, 2020. The updates must use the best available peer‑reviewed science and data. The Secretary must work with the Engineer Research and Development Center, other federal and state agencies, and other relevant groups, and use their data when practicable. If a non‑Federal interest asks during a feasibility study for flood risk, storm damage reduction, or ecosystem restoration, the Secretary must consider whether sea level rise or inland flooding causes or makes the need worse, and document the likely effects and benefits related to those risks for the 50‑year period after the project is completed.
