 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Delaware River Basin Conservation Reauthorization Act of 2022

This bill reauthorizes the Delaware River Basin Restoration Program and increases the federal cost share for certain grant projects.

Specifically, the bill extends the program through FY2030 and increases the federal cost share of a grant project that serves a small, rural, or disadvantaged community to 90% of the total cost of the project. However, the federal share may be increased to 100% of the project's total cost if the grant recipient is unable to pay, or would experience significant financial hardship if required to pay, the nonfederal share.

The bill also repeals the prohibition on the use of program funds for the acquisition by the federal government of any interest in land.
