ASCE’s Government Relations team and our partners in the U.S. Levee Safety Coalition met with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials to discuss collaborative opportunities on the National Levee Safety Program (NLSP). ASCE has been a long advocate for full funding of the NLSP to raise the nation’s levees’ grade up from a “D.” As a result, the Fiscal Year 2020 House appropriations bill included triple the amount of funding for the NSLP as compared to prior years.
