The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association's (NSSGA) Vice President of Government and Regulatory Affairs, Michele Stanley, issued the following statement after the US Congress passed the Water Resources Development Act of 2022.
“The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2022 is essential for all aggregates producers. NSSGA member companies across the country are directly involved with water infrastructure projects. Aggregates producers work to improve ports; develop flood control systems; reinforce shorelines; and maintain the waterways for the movement of goods and resources.
“The passage of WRDA creates certainty and funding with project planning, which is necessary to supply the building materials for these vital water infrastructure projects. NSSGA would like to thank the Republicans and Democrats in the Senate and House for working together to pass this important legislation.”
NSSGA is the leading advocate for the aggregates industry. Its members – stone, sand and gravel producers and the equipment manufacturers and service providers who support them – produce the essential raw materials found in homes, buildings, roads, bridges and public works projects. NSSGA represents more than 90 per cent of the crushed stone and 70 per cent of the sand and gravel produced annually in the United States.
