A BILL To provide for the implementation of dredged material man- agement plans at certain federally authorized harbors, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Lake Erie Water Quality Protection Act, aims to improve water quality in Lake Erie by prioritizing the implementation of dredged material management plans at federally authorized harbors in Ohio. The bill requires that these plans include a prohibition on the use of funding for open-lake disposal of dredged material and maximize the beneficial use of dredged material. However, the bill does not impose a blanket prohibition on open-lake disposal, and the development or implementation of the dredged material management plans is not required if open-lake disposal is not prohibited by law.
