On November 29th,?ICWP's board member Kirsten Wallace?(Upper Mississippi River Basin Association)?-- alongside colleagues Jimmy Hague (The Nature Conservancy) and Bren Haase (Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Board) -- testified to urge?Congress to remove or modify unreasonable requirements?that currently restrict or deter non-federal entities from participating as cost-share partners through USACE Project Partnership Agreements (PPAs). For several WRDA cycles, ICWP has advocated for PPA reform. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to bring light to this important issue and to have meaningful dialogue with the Senate EPW Committee about potential solutions.
