through the Chief of Engineers, or by a non-Federal interest
where such interest will be reimbursed for such construction
under any provision of law, shall not be commenced until each
non-Federal interest has entered into a written partnership
agreement with the district engineer for the district in which
the project will be carried out under which each party agrees
to carry out its responsibilities and requirements for
implementation or construction of the project or the
appropriate element of the project, as the case may be; except

agreement entered into by a State, or a body politic of the
State which derives its powers from the State constitution, or
a governmental entity created by the State legislature, the
agreement may reflect that it does not obligate future
appropriations for such performance and payment when obligating
future appropriations would be inconsistent with constitutional

collection), design, management, mitigation,
construction, and construction services that
are provided by the non-Federal interest for
implementation of the project;

provided before execution of an agreement for
the project, including efforts on constructed
elements incorporated into the project; and
``(iii) materials and services provided
after an agreement is executed.

kind contribution under subparagraph (A) if the
Secretary determines that the property or service
provided as an in-kind contribution is integral to the
project.
``(C) Limitations.--Credit authorized for a
project--
``(i) shall not exceed the non-Federal
share of the cost of the project;
``(ii) shall not alter any other
requirement that a non-Federal interest provide
land, an easement or right-of-way, or an area
