This bill removes federal authorization for a specific segment of the Milwaukee Harbor navigation project in Wisconsin. The deauthorization applies to the portion of the channel within the Menomonee River that runs from just downstream of the 16th Street Bridge upstream to the existing project limit. The change takes effect when the bill becomes law and affects any federal support or work on that segment of the navigation channel.

Key Provisions

  • Deauthorizes the defined stretch of the Milwaukee Harbor navigation channel, described by a series of coordinate points that start downstream of the 16th Street Bridge and extend roughly 2,530 feet west, then further segments totaling about 5,000 feet, ending at the upstream limit of the existing project.
