Water Resources Bill Funds Baltimore Harbor Deepening
Reagan signed the 16.4 billion Water Resources Development Act of 1986 authorizing deepening Baltimore Harbor to 50 feet, hurricane protection for Ocean City, and Chesapeake Bay erosion control. The act shifts cost sharing 75-25 federal to state/local up to 45 feet and 50-50 beyond that. Ocean City erosion and Bay cleanup are funded with multi‑state and federal shares amid ongoing political push to pass a broader Clean Waters Act.
