A $52 Billion Proposal Aims to Protect New York Harbor From Storm Surges
A $52 billion proposal by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers aims to protect New York Harbor from future storm surges by building 12 movable sea barriers across major bays and inlets. This plan, if approved by Congress, would be the region's largest project addressing the increasing frequency and intensity of storms due to climate change. The proposal follows a previously shelved $119 billion plan criticized by former President Donald J. Trump. The new plan faces political and financial challenges, especially in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Giant Crane Heads to Baltimore to Aid Recovery
A giant crane is set to arrive in Baltimore to aid in the recovery efforts following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which killed six construction workers and disrupted port operations. The National Transportation Safety Board and other federal agencies are investigating the incident, including the ship's condition and the bridge's protective measures. The Biden administration has pledged $60 million in emergency relief, with more funding likely. The collapse has affected various sectors, including the auto industry, which is finding alternative ports for shipments. The Hispanic community in Baltimore is particularly impacted, mourning the loss of several workers. Efforts to clear the wreckage involve complex operations, including the use of heavy equipment and military divers. The incident has raised broader concerns about the safety of aging infrastructure in the face of modern shipping demands.

Why the feds' $1.7B investment in new infrastructure in First Nations hasn’t accounted for climate change
The federal government's $1.7 billion investment in new infrastructure for First Nations communities has not adequately accounted for climate change, leading to vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure like water treatment plants. Experts argue that climate change considerations should be mandatory in project designs to ensure long-term resilience. While Infrastructure Canada has implemented such requirements for municipal and provincial projects, Indigenous Services Canada has not, citing respect for First Nations' autonomy. Critics, including NDP MP Charlie Angus, argue that this approach is a cost-saving measure that ultimately places First Nations at risk. The article highlights the need for policy changes to incorporate climate resilience in all infrastructure projects, regardless of size.

‘Ridiculous blunder’: Trump wades into California’s water wars – and strikes some of his strongest supporters
Donald Trump ordered the release of billions of gallons of water from California reservoirs, a move criticized as a political stunt that disrupted local water management and threatened communities. The action, intended to demonstrate control over California's water resources, was met with confusion and criticism from experts and local officials. Despite Trump's claims, the release did not benefit Los Angeles or Central Valley farmers, and was seen as a misinformed attempt to influence California's water wars. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between federal and state water policies, with Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom sharing some common ground on water infrastructure projects.

Norfolk to pay $4.6M for former NOAA facility, and it’s a requirement
Norfolk City Council is set to vote on a $4.6 million purchase of over six acres of land from the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as mandated by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2023. The land, located in Fort Norfolk, is intended for potential use in floodwall alignment and possibly a future fire station. The purchase price is higher than city projections, influenced by nationwide real estate inflation. This vote is the first of two required for the transaction, with NOAA planning to relocate its Marine Operations Center-Atlantic to Newport, Rhode Island.

#StopLine3 - Water protectors fight to defend Indigenous lands and livelihoods
Oil started flowing from the controversial Line 3 pipeline, which runs from Alberta, Canada to Superior, Wisconsin, carrying oil from Alberta’s tar sands. The pipeline, built by Enbridge, has faced significant opposition from Indigenous communities, environmental groups, and local farmers due to its environmental impact and violation of Indigenous treaty rights. The project, framed as a replacement for an aging pipeline, is actually an expansion and has been criticized for its potential to cause significant environmental damage, including oil spills. Enbridge has a history of oil spills and has been fined for environmental violations. Indigenous activists and environmental groups continue to resist the pipeline, calling on President Biden to halt the project and conduct a full environmental review.

Newport News purchased 1,500 acres for a reservoir it never built. Now it’s selling off the land at a fraction of the price.
Newport News purchased nearly 1,500 acres in King William County over 20 years ago for a reservoir project that was ultimately abandoned due to flawed water demand projections and environmental concerns. The city spent about $51 million on the project, which was halted in 2009. Now, Newport News is selling the land at a fraction of the original cost, having sold 664 acres for $849,481 so far this year. The project faced opposition from environmental groups like the Sierra Club and was criticized for its high costs and lack of necessity. The land, mostly unsuitable for development, is being sold to reduce maintenance costs and fund other infrastructure projects.
