                efficient environmental reviews and cooperative efforts 
                to quickly resolve disputes during the development of 
                water resources projects;

        shall examine the guidelines in view of--
                    (A) the varied interests and responsibilities in 
                managing flood risks, including the need to provide the 
                greatest levee safety benefit with limited resources;
                    (B) preserving, protecting, and enhancing natural 
                resources, including the potential benefit that 
                vegetation on levees can have in providing habitat for 
                species of concern;
                    (C) protecting the rights of Indian tribes pursuant 
                to treaties and statutes;
                    (D) determining how vegetation impacts the 
                performance of a levee or levee system during a storm 
                or flood event; and
                    (E) such other factors as the Secretary considers 
                appropriate.
            (2) Regional and watershed considerations.--In conducting 
        the review, the Secretary shall specifically consider factors 
        that promote and allow for consideration of potential variances 
        from national guidelines on a regional or watershed basis. Such 
        factors may include regional or watershed soil conditions, 
        hydrologic factors, vegetation patterns and characteristics, 
        environmental resources, levee performance history, 
        institutional considerations, and other relevant factors. The 
        scope of a variance approved by the Secretary may include an 
        exemption to national guidelines where appropriate.
    (c) Cooperation and Recommendations.--
            (1) In general.--The review shall be undertaken in 
        cooperation with interested Federal agencies and in 
        consultation with interested representatives of State and local

            (1) the July 19, 2010, Executive Order No. 13547 that 
        established the ``National Policy for the Stewardship of the 
        Ocean, Our Coasts, and the Great Lakes'' (in this section 
        referred to as the ``National Ocean Policy'') among other 
        things requires Federal implementation of ``ecosystem-based 
        management'' to achieve a ``fundamental shift'' in how the 
        United States manages ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes 
        resources, and the establishment of 9 new governmental 
        ``Regional Planning Bodies'' and ``Coastal and Marine Spatial 
        Plans'' in every region of the United States;
            (2) Executive Order No. 13547 created a 54-member National 
        Ocean Council led by the White House Council on Environmental 
        Quality and Office of Science and Technology Policy that 
        includes principal and deputy-level representatives from 
        Federal entities, including the Department of Defense;
            (3) Executive Order No. 13547 requires National Ocean 
        Council members, including the Department of Defense, to take

        implementation of the National Ocean Policy will ``require 
        clear and easily understood requirements and regulations, where 
        appropriate, that include enforcement as a critical 
        component'';
            (5) despite repeated congressional requests, the National 
        Ocean Council, which is charged with overseeing National Ocean 
        Policy implementation, has still not provided a complete 
        accounting of Federal activities taken and resources expended 
        and allocated in furtherance of National Ocean Policy 
        implementation;
            (6) the Corps of Engineers is participating on at least one 
        ``Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning Regional Team''; and
            (7) the Nation's continued economic and budgetary 
        challenges underscore the necessity for sound, transparent, and 
        practical Federal policies.
    (b) Prohibition.--None of the programs or actions authorized under 
this Act may be used to further implementation of the coastal and

        harbor that, historically, as determined by the Secretary--
                    (A) generates an amount of harbor maintenance 
                taxes; that exceeds
                    (B) the value of work carried out for the harbor or 
                inland harbor using amounts from the Harbor Maintenance 
                Trust Fund.
            (2) Expanded uses.--The term ``expanded uses'' means the 
        following activities performed for an eligible harbor or inland

                    (B) The maintenance dredging and disposal of 
                legacy-contaminated sediment, and sediment unsuitable 
                for open water disposal, if--
                            (i) such dredging and disposal benefits 
                        commercial navigation at the harbor; and

                                    (I) is located in and affects the 
                                maintenance of a Federal navigation 
                                project; or
