One of the programs in the Infrastructure Bill is the "National Culvert Removal, Replacement, & Restoration Grant". We were excited to see that at first given that improving the stormwater system in our area requires the removal of existing culverts and replacing them with either bigger culverts or a bridge. Then I read this:
Establish an annual competitive grant program to award grants to eligible entities for projects for the replacement, removal, and repair of culverts or weirs that—‘‘(1) would meaningfully improve or restore fish passage for anadromous fish..."
Yeah, that's going to make it hard for our projects to qualify. 😕
