AI Summary

This bill, the Lake Erie Water Quality Protection Act, provides for the implementation of dredged material management plans at certain federally authorized harbors in the state of Ohio. Specifically, it requires the Secretary of the Army to prioritize the implementation of existing law that mandates such plans, and it sets additional requirements for those plans. These include prohibiting the use of funding for open-lake disposal of dredged material and maximizing the beneficial use of that material. The bill does not impose a direct prohibition on open-lake disposal, but aims to limit it through the dredged material management plans.
