Water bill next week: where's the dirt?

Sometimes, in politics, a rose really is a rose - not to mention a rose...
Naturally, I'm surveying yesterday's Daily Digest in search of next week's business - nothing happens on Fridays in Nancy's five day work week paradise, natch: they're all too busy grubbing for moolah!
And see that the Senate will be processing HR 1495, the Water Resources Development Act.
The bill authorizes various water projects to be done by the Army Corps of Engineers. The CBO estimate (see THOMAS page for HR 1495) puts the 15 year cost at $15bn.
(Around the Pentagon budget for paperclips over the period.)
