Committee sets vote on conservation, water bills
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will vote on legislation Wednesday that would scrutinize several regional conservation commissions and an EPA water assistance program.
The committee will mark up the 'Mid-Atlantic River Basin Commissions Review Act,' H.R. 3428 from Rep. Robert Bresnahan (R-Pa.), and the 'Water Resources Technical Assistance Review Act,' H.R. 3427 from Rep. David Taylor (R-Ohio).
Bresnahan's bill would direct the Government Accountability Office to review activities, funding and 'ethics policies and practices' at the Delaware River Basin Commission, the Susquehanna River Basin Commission and the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin.

Taylor's bill would direct GAO to review EPA processes for identifying and partnering with technical assistance experts to address local water challenges.
