Delaware River Basin Restoration Program Reauthorization Act of 2025

The bill would reauthorize and expand the Delaware River Basin Restoration Program by amending the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act to include Maryland as a participating state, changing the basin designation from a 4-State to a 5-State region. It adds a priority consideration for projects serving small, rural, or disadvantaged communities when allocating grant funds and extends the program’s authorization through 2032, replacing the previous sunset date of 2023. The legislation affects federal conservation efforts and funding eligibility within the Delaware River Basin, now encompassing Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
