$12.2M secured for projects on OK water resources
U.S. Rep. Dan Boren says he has secured more than $12.2 million for various Corps of Engineers projects and studies on Oklahoma water resources in eastern Oklahoma.
The projects include operations and maintenance funding for the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System and Tenkiller Lake, as well as additional funding for the Grand Lake Comprehensive Study.
The Oklahoma Democrat says Oklahoma's agricultural sector, recreation and tourism industry and emergency management efforts depend on solid analysis and maintenance of its water infrastructure.
The funding was included in the Energy and Water Appropriations Act. It passed the U.S. House on Thursday 308 to 114 and now heads to President Barack Obama for his signature.
The measure appropriates a total of $33.5 billion for energy and water quality needs across the nation.
