Expanding Levee Definition to Include Seawalls and Other Coastal Structures.
This act amends the definition of a levee to include a broader range of water protection structures, such as seawalls, breakwaters, and natural dunes. This aims to improve the management and funding of infrastructure protecting coastlines and flood-prone areas, potentially impacting the safety of properties and communities in these regions.
Key points
The definition of a levee will be expanded to include seawalls, revetments, bulkheads, groins, jetties, breakwaters, dikes, and other man-made structures.
The new definition will also cover natural elements like beaches, dunes, and coastal banks, impacting coastal protection projects.
These changes may facilitate funding and management for a wider array of flood and erosion control infrastructure, potentially enhancing safety for residents in vulnerable areas.
