Summary

Making Access To Cleanup Happen Act of 2025 or the MATCH Act of 2025This bill modifies the Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program to allow sponsors (i.e., states, local governments, and Indian tribes) to undertake certain emergency watershed protection measures prior to entering into a project agreement with USDA and count the costs as part of the sponsor's share of the project cost once an agreement with USDA is in place.As background, USDA's EWP Program offers assistance to sponsors to carry out projects that help safeguard people and property from floods, drought, fires, windstorms, and other natural disasters that impair a watershed.This bill requires USDA to identify a list of emergency watershed protection measures that a sponsor may incur costs for prior to entering into a project agreement with USDA under the EWP Program. USDA must develop a procedure, to be implemented at the state level, through which these entities may request additional emergency watershed protection measures. The cost of undertaking these additional measures may be incurred by a sponsor prior to entering into an agreement with USDA.Further, USDA must consider pre-agreement costs incurred by a sponsor for undertaking the emergency watershed protection measures as meeting part of a sponsor's contribution towards the project costs.

The bill adds a section regarding preagreement costs for emergency watershed protection measures under the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978.

  • 16 U.S.C. 2203

    (c) Preagreement Costs.-- (1) Definition of sponsor.--In this subsection, the term `sponsor' means-- (A) a State or local government; and (B) an Indian Tribe (as defined in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 5304)). (2) Preagreement project costs.--Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this subsection, the Secretary shall-- (A) identify a list of emergency watershed protection measures the cost of which may be incurred by a sponsor prior to entering into an agreement with the Secretary under this section; and (B) develop a procedure, including appropriate deadlines, to be implemented at the State level, through which a sponsor may request, for a specified natural disaster, additional emergency watershed protection measures the cost of which may be incurred by a sponsor prior to entering into an agreement with the Secretary under this section. (3) Agreement contribution.--If the Secretary and a sponsor enter into an agreement under this section, the Secretary shall consider any applicable preagreement costs incurred by the sponsor for undertaking emergency watershed protection measures identified under paragraph (2) as meeting part of the contribution of the sponsor toward the cost of the project. (4) Assumption of risk.--A sponsor that undertakes emergency watershed protection measures prior to entering into an agreement with the Secretary under this section shall assume the risk of incurring any cost of undertaking those measures. (5) Effect.--Nothing in this subsection requires the Secretary to enter into an agreement with a sponsor.

    This new section establishes the definition of a 'sponsor,' outlines procedures for incurring preagreement costs, and specifies the contributions and risks involved for sponsors undertaking emergency watershed protection measures.
