To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act with respect to San Francisco Bay restoration, and for other purposes.
HR 8891 amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to establish a formal San Francisco Bay Restoration Program. It allows federal funding through grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts for projects on an annual priority list, requiring at least 25% non-federal funding for grants (capping federal share at 75%) while permitting full federal coverage for other agreements. The bill directly affects federal, state, local, and nonprofit organizations, including the Estuary Partnership, working on Bay restoration projects. Key provisions define funding mechanisms and cost-sharing requirements to support specific restoration activities and studies.
