WASHINGTON (KTVZ) \u2013 El senador Jeff Merkley (D-OR) se ha unido a los senadores Michael Bennet (D-CO) y Deb Fischer (R-NE) para presentar la Ley de Cuencas Hidrogr\u00e1ficas Saludables, Comunidades Saludables<\/em>, que, seg\u00fan dijo, se inspir\u00f3 en proyectos emprendidos por los distritos de riego del centro de Oreg\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este proyecto de ley bipartidista tiene como objetivo ayudar a la agricultura y las comunidades estadounidenses a ser m\u00e1s resilientes a la sequ\u00eda y las inundaciones mejorando el programa de Operaciones de Prevenci\u00f3n de Inundaciones y Cuencas Hidrogr\u00e1ficas del Servicio de Conservaci\u00f3n de Recursos Naturales (NRCS), tambi\u00e9n conocido como \u201cPL-566\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cEl caos clim\u00e1tico contin\u00faa haciendo que Occidente sea m\u00e1s c\u00e1lido y seco, agotando los recursos h\u00eddricos para las personas, las granjas y la vida silvestre. El programa PL 566 es una herramienta eficaz de modernizaci\u00f3n de los sistemas de riego para conservar las granjas que mantienen el agua en funcionamiento durante las sequ\u00edas y al mismo tiempo proteger el h\u00e1bitat de la vida silvestre\u201d, dijo Merkley, quien revitaliz\u00f3 este programa cuando se desempe\u00f1\u00f3 como miembro de alto rango del Subcomit\u00e9 de Asignaciones Agr\u00edcolas. "El ingenio de los habitantes de Oregon con este programa ha apoyado proyectos que benefician tanto a los agricultores como a la vida silvestre, y esta legislaci\u00f3n ampliar\u00eda este modelo y permitir\u00eda a las comunidades rurales del Oeste mitigar mejor los impactos devastadores de la sequ\u00eda".<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A medida que Occidente enfrenta cada vez m\u00e1s sequ\u00edas severas e inundaciones m\u00e1s frecuentes, los agricultores, ganaderos y las comunidades de Oreg\u00f3n est\u00e1n utilizando el programa PL-566 para mitigar los efectos de estos desastres naturales a trav\u00e9s de proyectos de mejora de cuencas. Sin embargo, la demanda cr\u00edtica y creciente de este programa ha dejado al descubierto una financiaci\u00f3n inadecuada y una burocracia onerosa que impide a los solicitantes acceder a todos sus beneficios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actualmente se est\u00e1n llevando a cabo un total de 28 proyectos de programas de cuencas hidrogr\u00e1ficas en todo Oreg\u00f3n, incluidos proyectos en siete distritos de riego del centro de Oreg\u00f3n. El Ley de Cuencas Hidrogr\u00e1ficas Saludables, Comunidades Saludables<\/em> y los cambios que busca este proyecto de ley est\u00e1n inspirados en los distritos de riego del centro de Oreg\u00f3n, ya que fueron los primeros en utilizar el programa PL-566.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merkley ha sido un l\u00edder y defensor durante mucho tiempo para asegurar recursos e inversiones federales para ayudar a apoyar proyectos relacionados con la conservaci\u00f3n del agua y la mejora de la eficiencia del agua. A finales del a\u00f1o fiscal 23, como miembro del Comit\u00e9 de Asignaciones del Senado, Merkley ayud\u00f3 a conseguir $75 millones para operaciones de prevenci\u00f3n de inundaciones y cuencas hidrogr\u00e1ficas<\/a> para financiar proyectos de colaboraci\u00f3n en todo Oreg\u00f3n que trabajen para conservar el agua, mantener las granjas familiares de Oreg\u00f3n en funcionamiento y, al mismo tiempo, mejorar los h\u00e1bitats de especies en peligro de extinci\u00f3n. En el proyecto de ley del Senado sobre agricultura, desarrollo rural, administraci\u00f3n de alimentos y medicamentos y agencias relacionadas para el a\u00f1o fiscal 24, Merkley ayud\u00f3 a asegurar $90.4 millones para el programa de Operaciones de Prevenci\u00f3n de Cuencas y Inundaciones<\/a>, de los cuales $10 millones se reservan para proyectos de m\u00faltiples beneficios como los de Oreg\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Ley de Cuencas Hidrogr\u00e1ficas Saludables, Comunidades Saludables<\/em> agilizar\u00eda los procesos de planificaci\u00f3n y administraci\u00f3n para permitir m\u00e1s proyectos en toda la cuenca, trasladar\u00eda la toma de decisiones al personal local de NRCS, ampliar\u00eda la elegibilidad del programa y permitir\u00eda que los fondos federales cuenten para los requisitos de contrapartida estatales y locales. El proyecto de ley tambi\u00e9n prioriza proyectos con m\u00faltiples beneficios p\u00fablicos y de conservaci\u00f3n y hace de la resiliencia a la sequ\u00eda un prop\u00f3sito expl\u00edcito del programa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cA lo largo de los a\u00f1os, el Senador Merkley ha utilizado su puesto en el Comit\u00e9 de Asignaciones para devolverle vida al programa de Operaciones de Prevenci\u00f3n de Inundaciones y Cuencas Hidrogr\u00e1ficas. Esto ha marcado una diferencia significativa al ayudar a los distritos de riego a desarrollar proyectos de modernizaci\u00f3n con m\u00faltiples beneficios\u201d, dijo Julie O'Shea, directora ejecutiva de Farmers Conservation Alliance. \u201cLa Ley de Cuencas Hidrogr\u00e1ficas Saludables, Comunidades Saludables es el siguiente paso necesario para hacer que este programa sea m\u00e1s eficiente y que la agricultura y el medio ambiente sean m\u00e1s resilientes. Aplaudo a los senadores Bennet, Merkley y Fischer por presentar esta legislaci\u00f3n y espero con inter\u00e9s su aprobaci\u00f3n final\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Esta legislaci\u00f3n cuenta con el apoyo de Almond Alliance, California Agriculture Irrigation Association, California Farm Bureau, Colorado Farm Bureau, Environmental Defense Fund, Farmers Conservation Alliance, Family Farm Alliance, Irrigation Association, Oregon Water Resources Congress, St. Vrain & Left Hand Water. Conservancy District, Freshwater Trust, The Nature Conservancy, Trout Unlimited, Western Growers y Wyoming Stockgrowers Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
