In selecting stormwater management projects to be carried out under this section, the Secretary concerned shall give a priority to project proposals involving the retrofitting of buildings and grounds on a military installation or retrofitting a defense access road to reduce stormwater runoff and ponding or standing water that includes the combination of stormwater runoff and water levels resulting from extreme weather conditions. Activities carried out as part of a stormwater management project under this section may include, but are not limited to, the following: The installation, expansion, or refurbishment of stormwater ponds and other water-slowing and retention measures. The installation of permeable pavement in lieu of, or to replace existing, nonpermeable pavement. The use of planters, tree boxes, cisterns, and rain gardens to reduce stormwater runoff. In the case of a stormwater management project carried out under this section on or related to a military installation and any project related to the same installation carried out under section 2391(d), 2815, or 2914 of this title, the Secretary concerned shall ensure coordination between the projects regarding the water access, management, conservation, security, and resilience aspects of the projects. Not later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, each Secretary concerned shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report describing— the status of planned and active stormwater management projects carried out by that Secretary under this section; and all projects completed by the Secretary concerned during the previous fiscal year. Each report shall include the following information with respect to each stormwater management project described in the report: The title, location, a brief description of the scope of work, the original project cost estimate, and the current working cost estimate. The rationale for how the project will— improve military installation resilience or the resilience of a defense access road or other essential civilian infrastructure supporting a military installation; and protect waterways and stormwater-stressed ecosystems. Such other information as the Secretary concerned considers appropriate. In this section: The term defense access road means a road certified to the Secretary of Transportation as important to the national defense under the provisions of section 210 of title 23. The terms facility and State have the meanings given those terms in section 18232 of this title.

The term military installation resilience has the meaning given that term in section 101(e)(8) of this title. The term Secretary concerned means— the Secretary of a military department with respect to military installations under the jurisdiction of that Secretary; and the Secretary of Defense with respect to matters concerning the Defense Agencies and facilities of a reserve component owned by a State rather than the United States. .
