Bill > S3183

This bill, the Enhancing Military Base Resilience and Conserving Ecosystems through Stormwater Management Act (EMBRACE Stormwater Management Act), amends Title 10 of the United States Code to establish a program within the Department of Defense (DoD) to carry out stormwater management projects on or related to military installations. The purpose of these projects is to improve the resilience of military installations and defense access roads, as well as to protect nearby waterways and stormwater-stressed ecosystems. The bill outlines various funding sources and methods for these projects, including military construction projects, unspecified minor military construction projects, military installation resilience projects, defense community infrastructure resilience projects, and defense access road projects. It also requires the Secretary concerned (the Secretary of a military department or the Secretary of Defense) to prioritize projects involving the retrofitting of buildings, grounds, and defense access roads to reduce stormwater runoff. The bill mandates an annual report to Congress on the status and details of the stormwater management projects carried out under this program.
