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; and (2) with respect to weirs, may include-- (A) infrastructure to facilitate fish passage around or over the weir; and (B) weir improvements.

Eligible activities are those that 1) Reduce risks to life and property associated with dams; 2) Increase awareness of the risks associated with dams and the benefit of state dam safety programs; and 3) Advance the state of practice of dam safety and dam risk management. Examples include conducting dam safety inspections, performing condition assessments of dams, development of Emergency Action Plans, implementing regulatory enforcement actions, conducting public awareness and outreach activities, and professional development for dam safety officials and dam owners.

The purpose is to cover the NDR and PDPS operational costs.

The acquisition and installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure to serve as a catalyst for the deployment of such infrastructure and to connect it to a network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability; proper operation and maintenance of electric vehicle charging infrastructure; data sharing about electric vehicle charging infrastructure to ensure the long-term success of investments.

Coastal habitat restoration; coastal habitat restoration planning, engineering and design; land conservation

Each National Estuary Program characterizes the priority problems in its estuary and surrounding watershed, develops a long-term Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan that identifies actions to address those problems, and identifies partners, to implement those actions. Implementation of Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans can include the following actions: protecting and restoring habitat, including wetlands; supporting water quality protection and restoration, including Total Maximum Daily Load plan implementation; monitoring and addressing toxics and pathogen loads and contamination; implementing stormwater management, reducing non-point source pollution impacts, and promoting the adoption of green infrastructure approaches; preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species and/or managing their impacts; developing and implementing nutrient reduction strategies; conducting climate vulnerability assessments and developing and implementing climate change adaptation strategies and using adaptation tools to promote coastal resilience; and developing and implementing strategies to provide opportunities for residents of urban minority and/or underserved communities to have greater access to urban waters, participate in urban ecosystem restoration, and participate in capacity-building/educational activities. In addition to Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan implementation, National Estuary Programs and other eligible recipients address urgent and challenging issues that threaten the ecological and economic well-being of coastal areas.

Archival of data, maps, logs, and samples; development and maintenance of a national catalog, technical and financial assistance related to archival material, and preservation of sample to track geochemical signature from critical mineral ore bodies.

Projects that contribute to the efficient movement of freight on the National Highway Freight Network and are identified in a freight investment plan included in the State’s freight plan. In addition, a State may use not more than 30% of its total National Highway Freight Program funds each year for freight intermodal or freight rail projects, subject to certain restrictions

Highway and bridge projects, generally on the National Highway System, plus certain bridge projects on non-National Highway System federal-aid highways

Projects eligible under the Megaprojects program include—a highway or bridge project carried out on—the National Multimodal Freight Network of title 49, United States Code; ;the National Highway Freight Network, United States Code; or the National Highway System, United States Code;a freight intermodal (including public ports) or freight rail project that provides a public benefit;a railway-highway grade separation or elimination project;an intercity passenger rail project; and certain public transportation projects that are eligible for Federal Transit Administration funding of title 49,United States Code

(1) Advance research, development, demonstration, and commercial application of marine energy technologies in response to industry and commercial needs; (2) support in-water testing and demonstration of marine energy technologies, including facilities capable of testing— (A) marine energy systems of various technology readiness levels and scales; (B) a variety of technologies in multiple test berths at a single location; (C) arrays of technology devices; and (D) interconnectivity to an electrical grid, including microgrids; and (3) collect and disseminate information on best practices in all areas relating to developing and managing marine energy resources and energy systems.

Pilot projects on per-mile user fees.

Established in 2018, the National Coastal Resilience Fund invests in conservation projects that restore or expand natural features such as coastal marshes and wetlands, dune and beach systems, oyster and coral reefs, forests, coastal rivers and floodplains, and barrier islands that minimize the impacts of storms and other naturally occurring events on nearby communities. Geographically, the NCRF funds will focus on coastal areas of U.S. coastal states, including the Great Lakes states, U.S. territories, and coastal Tribal lands. The additional funding will enable NCRF to provide increased support for communities most vulnerable to climate impacts, including those who have been historically disadvantaged.
