Snow Survey Northeast Expansion Act of 2025
This bill expands the Natural Resources Conservation Service's (NRCS) existing snow survey and water supply forecasting program to cover the Northeastern United States. It defines the Northeast as Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, and any other states the Secretary of Agriculture designates. The key provision directs the NRCS Chief to extend this program's geographic scope to serve these states. This change directly affects water resource managers and communities in the covered northeastern states by improving regional snowpack and water supply data collection.
