House Rep. Gabbard, Tulsi [D-HI-2] HI D G000571 1 Remote, Coastal, and Small Watersheds Act of 2020 This bill authorizes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in conducting a study of hurricane and storm damage reduction to recommend certain projects in remote, coastal, and small watersheds without the need to demonstrate that the projects are justified solely by national economic development benefits.
