The IIJA contains historic funding for resilience to all hazards including cyber, climate, and other threats communities face.
Some of the mostsignificant of these investments are promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-Saving Transportation (PROTECT) Grants,
wildfire management, investments in resilience through the Army Corps of Engineers,
western water, flood mitigation assistance program, weatherization, and cybersecurity.
Aquatic Ecosystem Protection and Restoration
Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration And Protection Projects
The Aquatic Ecosystem restoration program is a new program currently under development. This funding will support projects that design, study and construct aquatic ecosystem
restoration and protection projects to improve habitats.
Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Projects
This program funds the construction of authorized water resources projects to increase aquatic ecosystem restoration, including $1 billion for multi-purpose
projects or programs that include aquatic ecosystem restoration as a purpose.
Consultations and Permitting
The National Marine Fisheries Service conducts consultations with federal action agencies. Completion of these consultations will enable the Administration to
advance priorities to improve the Nation’s infrastructure while ensuring the conservation of our most vulnerable species and important habitats.
Fish Passage
Restoring fish passage by removing in-stream barriers and providing technical assistance pursuant to section 117 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Reauthorization Act of 2006.
Flood Control
Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies
Funds Corps of Engineers preparedness measures, certain Corps of Engineers operations during a flood, hurricane, or other natural disaster,
and the repair of certain projects following such a natural disaster.
Flood Plain Management Services
The Army Corps provides site-specific flood and flood plain data and assistance to States, Tribes, and local communities.
Inland Flood Risk Management Projects
This program funds the construction of projects that help to reduce the risk of damage in a flood, including $750 million for multi-purpose projects or programs that
include flood risk management benefits as a purpose.
Section 118 Of Water Resources Development Act of 2020
Pilot program to carry out feasibility studies for flood risk management and hurricane and storm damage risk reduction projects that incorporate natural
features or nature-based features for rural communities and economically disadvantaged communities.
Pollution Prevention and Recycling
Battery Labeling Guidelines
The purposes of the program are to improve battery collection and reduce battery waste by
promoting the safe handling of used batteries, improving battery recycling programs, promoting battery recycling,
and establishing a program to promote battery recycling through the development of voluntary labeling guidelines for batteries.
Battery Recycling Best Practices
This investment will promote the safe handling of used batteries and improve battery recycling programs. The EPA will develop best practices
for the collection of batteries to be recycled in a manner that
is technically and economically feasible, environmentally sound and safe, and and optimizes the value
and use of material derived from recycling of batteries.
Bioproduct Pilot Program
Determine the economic, social, and environmental benefits of using materials derived from agricultural commodities (bioproducts) in the development and manufacturing of
construction or consumer products.
Pollution Prevention Grants
Pollution Prevention means reducing or eliminating pollutants from entering any waste stream
or otherwise being released into the environment prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal.
Grantees deliver technical assistance to businesses to identify and adopt source reduction practices
and technologies that benefit businesses, communities, and local economies.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycling Education and Outreach Grants
Communities across the country are burdened by pollution impacts from inefficient waste management systems.
This historic investment will transform public education and outreach regarding how to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling Infrastructure Grants
Communities across the country are burdened by pollution impacts from inefficient waste management systems.
This historic investment will transform recycling and solid waste management across the country while creating jobs.
