An amendment by U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins that seeks to speed up access to possible dredge fill sites for the Calcasieu Ship Channel is now part of the 2020 Water Resources Development Act, following action by a House committee Wednesday.
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee unanimously added the amendment to the biannual WRDA bill, which the full House is expected to vote on later this month.
