Andrew Garbarino: “Congress must continue to facilitate public and private partnerships that are able to meet and repel these threats.”

I am here today to respectfully request the inclusion of critical authorization language for my district in the 2024 Water Resources Development Act.

This legislation would support practical conservation practices and help ensure that the USDA invests in solutions that work for producers and communities alike.

On behalf of the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) and the Water Environment Federation (WEF), we thank you for holding today's hearing.

I am proud to have been the leading voice on Long Island during negotiations on this key reconciliation bill.
