Recreation Fees Stay Local: Better Maintenance for US Lakes.
This Act aims to improve the management and maintenance of recreation areas, particularly those around lakes and reservoirs managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. It allows local public entities and non-profit organizations to manage these facilities and retain up to 100% of user fees collected for site operation and maintenance. Crucially, it mandates that at least 80% of fees collected directly by the Corps must be reinvested back into the specific site where they were generated, ensuring funds directly benefit visitors.
