On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) and our nearly 500 member companies, I write to thank you for introducing the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2026. Aggregates—including crushed stone, sand and gravel—are the foundational materials used to construct and maintain locks and dams, navigation channels, levees, coastal resilience projects, water control structures and other critical infrastructure authorized through WRDA legislation.

The American Cement Association, the National Asphalt Pavement Association, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, and the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association thank the Committee for introducing the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2026. We urge swift passage of WRDA to advance critical water infrastructure projects across the country. The construction materials produced by our combined membership are foundational to a range of different Corps projects, from locks and dams to flood control and storm risk reduction.

On behalf of the over 500 members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I am writing to share our priorities for the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2026 ahead of the Subcommittee's upcoming stakeholder priorities hearing. NSSGA represents aggregates producers and manufacturers of equipment and services that support the construction industry. Our members employ more than 100,000 hardworking men and women responsible for producing the essential raw materials found in every home, building, road, port, dam, and public works project across the nation.

On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we write to express our strong support for the reauthorization of expiring State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) funding and financing programs, including the Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs).  Our nation’s water infrastructure is essential to the strength of American communities. For close to 85 years, Congress has provided federal funds to municipalities to address local water quality challenges. Since the inception of the SRFs, Congress has worked with the U.S.

On behalf of the over 500 members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I am writing to express our support for the Water Resources Development Act of 2024 (WRDA 2024).  This legislation will reauthorize much-needed investment in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) projects that aggregates and industrial sand materials are critical components in. NSSGA represents aggregates producers and those who manufacture equipment and services that support the construction industry.

On behalf of the 500 members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I write to express our gratitude for the much-needed oversight hearing titled Waters of the United States (WOTUS) Implementation Post-Sackett Decision: Experiences and Perspectives on September 11, 2024. Your attention to this matter is crucial and greatly appreciated. NSSGA represents the aggregates and industrial sand industry, and the companies that manufacture equipment and provide services.

On behalf of the over 450 members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I am writing to express our support for the Water Resources and Development Act of 2024. NSSGA represents aggregates producers and those who manufacture equipment and services that support the construction industry. Our members are essential to the work of this country, and we represent more than 90 percent of the crushed stone and 70 percent of the sand and gravel produced annually in the United States.

The organizations signed below collectively submit the following comments to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Request for Information: Products and Categories of Products Used in Water Infrastructure Programs. We appreciate the opportunity to share our perspective of this review as it relates to our construction materials.

High Court Strikes Down EPA's Efforts to Expand Its Authority; ARTBA and NSSGA Partnered During Legal Battle

(WASHINGTON) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) campaign to regulate all U.S. ditches hit another roadblock May 25. The U.S. Supreme Court today agreed with the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) and the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) that the agency exceeded its authority in developing new wetlands regulations.

On behalf of the 400 members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I am writing to you in light of the upcoming hearing, "The Next Fifty Years of the Clean Water Act: Examining the Law and Infrastructure Project Completion," scheduled for Tuesday, May 16, 2023.
