H.R. 8891 amends federal water pollution law to establish a San Francisco Bay Restoration Program that provides funding for environmental restoration projects in the bay. The bill authorizes the Director of the Environmental Protection Agency to distribute money through grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements to federal, state, and local agencies, nonprofits, and other organizations working on bay restoration projects. For grants specifically, entities can receive up to 75 percent of project costs with the remaining 25 percent coming from non-federal sources, while contracts and interagency agreements can cover up to 100 percent of costs. The bill was introduced in June 2024 by a bipartisan group of California representatives and focuses on supporting restoration activities and studies identified as priorities for improving the San Francisco Bay ecosystem.
