Express a need to undertake stream restoration to improve the chemical and biological characteristics of the water; identify improvements to sewer infrastructure and straight pipes as a method of undertaking stream restoration via mitigation; express concern that the Appalachian region is subjected to a more rigorous conductivity standard that reduces the eligible waters in that region for mitigation awards; encourage section 404 permittees that engage in permittee responsible mitigation with a 25 percent set aside for sewer infrastructure and straight pipes; require the Energy and Environment Cabinet to work with the University of Kentucky and University of Louisville to develop a method of evaluating the value of straight pipes and sewer projects to the overall mitigation requirement; require a report be sent to the Legislative Research Commission by June 15, 2013, and every year thereafter; require a copy be sent to the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Energy and Environment Cabinet, and members of the Kentucky congressional delegation.
