We just heard that the Delaware River Basin Conservation Act (DRBCA) will be included in the Water Resources Development Act of 2016 (WRDA). While nothing in Congress is a sure thing until it happens, based on what we're hearing right now, it is expected that both the House and Senate will approve the WRDA bill by the end of this week and send it to the President's desk for passage into law.
Thanks to everybody who weighed in with their members of Congress to advance this critically important legislation that will help boost the river-based economy of the UDR region, enhance recreational opportunities, support on-the-ground waterway improvement projects that create jobs, and help protect the unique cold water ecosystem of the Upper Delaware River.
We will keep you posted!
