What this amendment would do

SA 3495, submitted by Mr. Kaine and Mr. Warner, aims to add a new section titled Coastal Risk Management Projects to bill S. 2296.

The purpose of this amendment is to require the Secretary of Defense to perform projects that mitigate hurricane and storm damage risk. These projects must either:

  • Contribute to maintaining or improving military installation resilience.
  • Prevent or mitigate encroachment that could affect Department of Defense operations.

Additionally, the amendment specifies that a non-Federal interest must pay at least 10 percent of the costs for the coastal storm risk management features of these projects.
