Key stakeholders urged a Senate committee to use the next Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) to reform Project Partnership Agreements (PPAs) with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to bring more fairness to that process and boost non-federal partners. "We believe that a more equitable approach to these relationships will improve efficiencies in project delivery, improve partnership relationships and stimulate the nation's ability to leverage non-federal resources," said Kirsten Wallace, executive director of the Upper Mississippi River Basin Association. Wallace told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee she also was speaking on behalf of the Interstate Council on Water Policy. |
