The proposed rule amendment is being promulgated to implement changes in the administration of the District's Waterways Assistance Program. This makes minor changes to the Waterways Assistance program rule sections: Project Eligibility, Small-Scale Spoil Island Enhancement Projects, and Small-Scale Derelict Vessel projects and increases potential funding for law enforcement vessels, derelict vessel removal, and spoil island restoration and enhancement projects. In-kind construction cost labor for spoil island restoration projects will be valued at Independent Sector estimated value of each volunteer hour and funding will also be provided for trash removal management, and sign installation.
