To extend the declaration of nonnavigability in perpetuity for Rivercenter, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

AI Summary

This bill, by amending the Water Resources Development Act of 1988, aims to make the declaration of nonnavigability for the Rivercenter area of the Delaware River in Philadelphia permanent, meaning it will not expire as it was originally set to do in November 2018. A declaration of nonnavigability essentially means a body of water is not considered navigable by the federal government, which can affect regulations and development rights.
