  The Chair recognizes the gentlemen from Ohio [Mr. Applegate].
  Mr. APPLEGATE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  (Mr. APPLEGATE asked and was given permission to revise and extend 
his remarks, and to include extraneous material.)
  Mr. APPLEGATE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 4460.
  Mr. Speaker, today we bring before the House the Water Resources 
Development Act of 1994. The Subcommittee on Water Resources held 
hearings on June 22, July 19, and July 26, 1994. In those hearings we 
heard from the administration and numerous Members of Congress and 
public witnesses. Our action on this bill demonstrates a commitment to 
continue the biennial authorization cycle for the Water Resources 
Development Program of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
  The bill before us continues the Nation's progress in preserving, 
developing, and restoring our water resources through responsible 
projects and studies for navigation, flood control and environmental 
restoration and protection. Mr. Speaker, the bill represents an 
excellent effort to draft a workable, signable bill while fulfilling 
the requests of Members to the greatest extent possible.
  This doesn't mean we were able to give every Member everything which 
they requested, but we did try to give Members something if it was 
feasible.
  This year, we have worked with the administration and our minority to 
develop a bill which the administration could support. Because of the 
short time remaining in the session, and the uncertainty of the Senate, 
I believe that this bill represents the best way for the House to 
proceed.
  For projects which had completed reports, the bill authorizes 
construction. For projects without reports, the bill authorizes studies 
of the projects so construction can be authorized in subsequent bills. 
Additionally, the bill modifies a number of existing projects to make 
them more responsive to local needs, changed circumstances or 
environmental concerns.
  As we have done in previous years, we have reviewed the 
recommendations of the administration and adopted several of them. 
These include enhanced authorities to conduct research in support of 
the corps' mission, the establishment of environmental cost-sharing, 
and several technical improvements to the operation of the corps civil 
works program.
  We have avoided controversial recommendations such as any increase in 
corps regulatory fees.
  Title I of the bill relates to water Resources projects. Section 101 
authorizes projects recommended by the Chief of Engineers for 
construction by the Corps of Engineers. Section 102 contains 
modifications to 33 previously authorized water resources projects. 
These modifications relate to such things as increases in cost 
limitations, changes in the structure and configuration of projects, 
additional recreation or environmental features, crediting of non-
Federal interests for work done which is compatible with the project, 
and incorporation of new project features.
  The title also includes project reauthorizations, continuation of 
authorization of certain projects, project deauthorizations and 
projects and project modifications that the corps should study.
  Title II of the bill contains generally applicable provisions 
relating to the corps Water Resources Development Program. Among the 
highlights is cost-sharing changes concerning dredged material disposal 
areas. These dredged disposal areas will no longer be a 100 percent 
local responsibility. Instead, they will be cost-shared as other 
construction costs are shared.
  Other changes include: Requiring that an amount equal to 100 percent 
of the recreational user fees collected at a site be used for operation 
and maintenance at that facility.
  Allowing the Secretary to use emergency levee rebuilding funds for 
non-structural alternatives.
  Title III includes miscellaneous provisions. Among the highlights of 
title III are:
  Authority for a new watershed management restoration and development 
program.
  A restoration protection program for the Chesapeake Bay.
  Extension of jurisdiction of the Mississippi River Commission.
  Several projects for the beneficial use of dredge material.
  Repeal of collection of tolls on the St. Lawrence Seaway.
  I urge all my House colleagues to support this very worthwhile 
legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, I include for the Record an exchange of letters between 
the chairman of the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the 
chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
  The letters referred to are as follows:
                                      Committee on Merchant Marine


                                                and Fisheries,

                                  Washington, DC, October 3, 1994.
     Hon. Norman Y. Mineta,
     Chairman, Committee on Public Works and Transportation, 
         Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: I am pleased to see that the Committee 
     on Public Works has reported H.R. 4460, the Water Resources 
     Development Act of 1994.
       As reported by your Committee, this bill contains numerous 
     provisions which are within the jurisdiction of the Committee 
     on Merchant Marine and Fisheries pursuant to Rule X, Clause 
     (1)(n), of the Rules of the House of Representatives. My 
     Committee has received sequential referral of past water 
     resources bills based on similar provisions.
       I support prompt consideration of this bill in the House. 
     Therefore, I agree to waive a sequential referral request in 
     return for your acknowledgement of my Committee's 
     jurisdiction.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Gerry E. Studds,
                                                         Chairman.
                                  ____

                                         Committee on Public Works


                                           and Transportation,

                                  Washington, DC, October 3, 1994.
     Hon. Gerry E. Studds,
     Chairman, Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, 
         Longworth HOB, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter and for your 
     cooperation in moving H.R. 4460, the Water Resources 
     Development Act of 1994.
       I agree that certain provisions in this bill are within the 
     jurisdiction of the Committee on Merchant Marine and 
     Fisheries and that your Committee would have received a 
     sequential referral had you chosen to request one.
       I will continue to work for enactment of this legislation 
     prior to adjournment. Thank you again for your cooperation.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Norman Y. Mineta,
                                                         Chairman.
                                  ____

                                 Committee on Energy and Commerce,
                                  Washington, DC, October 3, 1994.
     Hon. Norman Y. Mineta,
     Chairman, Committee on Public Works and Transportation, House 
         of Representatives Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: Our staffs have discussed H.R. 4460, the 
     ``Water Resources Development Act of 1994'' which includes 
     provisions that do not recognize the licensing and exemption 
     authority of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under 
     the Federal Power Act. This is particularly a concern in 
     sections 204 and 207.
       I understand that is not the intention of your Committee 
     and I recognize that you are anxious to have this bill 
     considered on the suspension calendar today. Our Committee 
     wishes to cooperate and will have no objections to such 
     consideration so long as the enclosed provision is included 
     in the bill as passed by the House. Of course, if there is a 
     conference with the Senate, we will expect to request to be 
     represented on matters in the bill, such as these sections. 
     Our Committee would also expect to be consulted should the 
     Senate seek to resist the enclosed provision or otherwise 
     include matters within our jurisdiction. Just as we worked 
     out similar concerns of your Committee regarding H.R. 3392, 
     the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments Act of 1994, I assume 
     that these undertakings are acceptable and that your floor 
     comments will include this letter and your acknowledgment.
       With every good wish.
           Sincerely,
                                                   John D. Dingell
                                                         Chairman.
       We appreciate very much the fine way our two committees 
     have been working.
       Enclosure.
       Insert at the end of section 204:
       (  ) Savings Clause.--Nothing in this section, in section 
     207, or in any other provision of this Act or in any 
     amendment made by this Act shall be construed to authorize 
     the construction, operation, maintenance of any dam, water 
     conduit, reservoir, power house, transmission line, or other 
     project works for which a license or exemption is required 
     under the Federal Power Act, and nothing in such sections or 
     in any other provision of this Act or in any amendment made 
     by this Act shall by construed to affect the authority or 
     jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
     under the Federal Power Act or under any other provision of 
     law.

  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. BOEHLERT. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  (Mr. BOEHLERT asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. BOEHLERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the 
legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the Water Resources 
Development Act of 1994. This legislation continues a long standing 
tradition of authorizing Army Corps of Engineer's navigation, flood 
control, and environmental infrastructure projects on a biennial basis.
  WRDA 1994 provides critically needed improvements to our Nation's 
water infrastructure. Water remains the most efficient way to transport 
many of the products and commodities produced in our country. The 
legislation before us today will ensure that the harbors, rivers, and 
locks which we all directly or indirectly depend on, continue to serve 
our transportation interests.
  The legislation before us has been the subject of extensive hearings 
in which interests ranging from the Corps of Engineers to American 
Rivers testified before the Water Resources and Environment 
Subcommittee.
  The provisions contained in WRDA 1994 were considered in a thorough 
and bipartisan manner. Chairman Applegate must be complimented on the 
open and inclusive manner in which WRDA 1994 has been considered. 
Chairman Applegate's leadership on the Water Resources and Environment 
Subcommittee will be missed. I would like to take this opportunity to 
wish Chairman Applegate continued success and health upon leaving this 
body.
  This legislation also makes good fiscal sense. WRDA 1994 comes in at 
a lower price tag than WRDA 1992, which this body successfully passed 
on suspension.
  WRDA 1994 is critically important to the maintenance and improvement 
of America's water infrastructure. I urge all of my colleagues to 
support the passage of this legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman 
from Pennsylvania [Mr. Shuster], the ranking member of the full 
committee.
  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me the 
time and I rise in strong support of this legislation. It is the 
routine biannual reauthorization of the Corps of Engineer projects. The 
minority has been treated very fairly in this and I urge its support.
  Mr. MINETA. Mr. Speaker, first, I want to pay special recognition to 
our subcommittee chair, the distinguished gentleman from Ohio, who, as 
we all know, is retiring. I want to take this opportunity to say how 
much I personally have enjoyed working with him not only in his 
capacity as chair of our Water Resources Subcommittee, but also as a 
very active and very important member of our committee on a wide range 
of issues. The gentleman from Ohio will be missed and on behalf of our 
committee and the House, we wish him many happy and prosperous years on 
his retirement from Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, H.R. 4460, the Water Resources Development Act of 1994 
is a product deserving of House approval.
  We have worked diligently, on a bipartisan basis and with the 
administration, to create a bill which this Congress and the 
administration can support.
  This bill is modest in size and scope. We have preserved the cost-
sharing principles agreed to over the past decade. We have authorized 
projects within the traditional role and the increasingly environmental 
role of the Corps of Engineers. We have avoided projects and provisions 
more suitably included in the Clean Water Act bill. And we have kept 
the dollar total well below the bill President Bush signed 2 years ago.
  In short, this bill continues the present Corps of Engineers programs 
and trends without any significant expansion.
  It continues the Nation's progress in preserving, developing, and 
restoring our water resources through responsible projects and studies 
for navigation, flood control, and environmental restoration and 
protection.
  Over the past several years, the Corps of Engineers--at congressional 
direction--has changed its emphasis from traditional flood control and 
navigation to become more sensitive to environmental protection as an 
equal concern for the agency. This bill is consistent with that 
progression.
  First, the cost sharing for environmental restoration projects is 
established at 75 percent Federal, 25 percent local. In addition, to 
encourage the implementation of these projects, non-federal costs of 
such projects can be paid through in-kind services of the local 
sponsors.
  The bill also expands the program for the beneficial use of dredge 
spoils as well as providing Federal assistance for non-structural 
replacement of flood control structures that have been damaged but only 
with the concurrence of the local interest.
  The bill is a good, workable product which gives us the best possible 
shot at enacting legislation this year. I think it is worthy of the 
committee's support and urge its approval.
  Mr. FAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 4460, the 
Water Resources Development Act of 1994.
  Mr. Speaker, this is an important piece of legislation, authorizing 
conservation and development of water and water-related resources and 
providing for the construction of much needed improvements to rivers 
and harbors of the United States.
  I want to begin by congratulating the chairman of the full committee, 
Mr. Mineta and the ranking member, Mr. Shuster for their yeoman's 
effort in bringing this bill to the House floor. The lives and 
livelihoods of many of our constituents depend upon the projects in 
this bill. The chairman and the ranking member still have a daunting 
task before them to get this legislation through the process before 
adjournment, but I am grateful to have their leadership and offer to 
help in any way I can.
  The bill contains many much needed environmental restoration 
projects. Those of us who represent California know the impact of 
listing of species as threatened or endangered, so we appreciate the 
proactive environmental initiatives in this bill. For example, the bill 
provides for several important projects to make beneficial use of 
dredged materials.
  The Montezuma Slough project in northern California is a good example 
of an environmentally sound project to create wetlands. The President, 
during one of his recent trips to California, spoke about the 
importance of developing international trade by maximizing our 
investment in our ports. Unfortunately, the San Francisco Bay Area has 
a serious problem in disposing of dredged materials. In-bay disposal is 
effectively prohibited and ocean disposal gives rise to some 
significant environmental concerns.
  A very sensible, environmentally attractive, and fiscally responsible 
alternative is the upland disposal at Montezuma Slough--a site that 
would be turned into wetlands and dedicated to the public. This type of 
forward looking program will ensure the continued economic growth 
associated with trade goods moving through our ports while actually 
creating wetlands for migrating waterfowl and other aquatic wildlife.
  In addition, the bill recognizes the value of properly managing our 
water resource to protect water quality. One good example of these 
projects can be seen in the Colusa Basin Drainage District's proposal 
to put in place an integrated resource management plan, which seeks to 
develop flood control, water quality, water supply, environmental 
restoration solutions for an entire watershed on a voluntary basis.
  This is the kind of voluntary program that needs the support of the 
Corps of Engineers as well as other resource agencies, if it is to 
succeed. The corps must become a partner in helping local farmers, 
water managers, State and other Federal agencies, environmentalists and 
the citizens of affected towns to identify projects that will benefit 
the basin. A similar project is planned for the Sacramento River to 
deal with toxic issues.
  I appreciate the committee direction to study the acquisition of 
delta island in the San Francisco Bay Delta system. Authorizing the 
Corps of Engineers to make land acquisitions in the Sacramento-San 
Joaquin Delta for hydraulic and environmental mitigation in association 
with the Sacramento River Flood Control Project and other projects and 
potential projects will positively impact the stages of the Sacramento 
and American rivers.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a good bill that is much needed. I urge my 
colleagues to vote ``aye.''
  Mr. UNSOELD. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 4460.
  I want to thank the chairman of the Water Resources and Environment 
Subcommittee, Representative Applegate, as well as the chairman of the 
full committee, Representative Mineta, for including within this bill 
language I developed to resolve a long-standing problem involving the 
small town of North Bonneville and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It 
has been a problem that has for so long defied a solution--until now.
  The story began some 20 years ago when the town of North Bonneville 
on the Washington State side of the Columbia River was condemned to 
make room for the second powerhouse at Bonneville Dam. As part of this 
process, Congress, in section 83 of Public Law 93-251, required the 
corps to relocate the town.
  Although a detailed relocation agreement between the corps and the 
town was executed in 1975, the relocation effort became mired in 
contentious litigation and is still not complete.
  The trouble started when the town, having lost its revenue base 
during the relocation period, subjected corps contractors to a business 
and occupation [B&O] tax which was challenged by the corps and the 
Justice Department. Although the town prevailed in court on this issue, 
additional litigation led to an increasingly hostile relationship 
between the parties and the collapse of cooperation.
  The town refused to accept unfinished and defective municipal 
improvements, including water, sewer, and storm drain systems, for the 
initial town. Some optimum town lands identified in the agreement as 
necessary for the town's growth and economic viability have since been 
dedicated to wildlife mitigation by the corps or contaminated with 
construction wastes. For example, Hamilton Island, which includes much 
of the optimum town lands, was placed on the Superfund national 
priority list in October 1992.
  In addition, claims and counterclaims resulted in a judgment against 
the town in the amount of $365,181 for operation and maintenance of 
town utilities by the corps. The town filed for bankruptcy in 1991.
  With half a dozen lawsuits pending and the promise of another 20 
years of bitter litigation without a just resolution, I could not 
remain uninvolved--although I received plenty of warnings to do so.
  Last Congress we devised a legislative solution that I thought was a 
fair and balanced framework for completing the North Bonneville 
relocation. In essence, section 9147 of Public Law 102-396 called for 
the timely transfer of town lands and canceled the town's debt to the 
corps in exchange for the town dropping its claims against the corps.
  More specifically, section 9147 required the corps to: First, 
complete the relocation by conveying to the city: (a) lands and 
facilities identified in the plats of the relocated town, as required 
by the relocation act--at no cost to the city--and (b) lands identified 
in the plats as ``optimum'' town lands--parcels 2, B, C, and H--at a 
cost to the city of $597,804; second, forgive O&M debt owed to the 
corps for facilities--about $365,000; and third, clean up its hazardous 
waste site on Hamilton Island--one of the optimum town lands.
  In return, the town was required to: First, relinquish its right to 
sue the corps under the Relocation Act-Agreement for failure to 
perform; and second, agree to accept lands and facilities identified in 
plats of ``original'' town in ``as is'' condition and pay for optimum 
town lands.
  Regrettably, the Justice Department and the corps refused to settle 
the North Bonneville controversy in this manner, primarily because of 
concerns over the Government's long-term liability associated with 
transferring Parcel B, Hamilton Island, which was listed as a Superfund 
site by EPA. With additional litigation appearing inevitable, I 
initiated a settlement process--involving the town, the corps, and the 
Justice Department--that ultimately led a solution to resolve this 
matter once and for all.
  This solution is legislated in the bill before us today. 
Specifically, it amends section 9147 of Public Law 102-396 to require 
that parcel be used to meet part of the corps' wildlife mitigation 
requirements--after clean up to open space standards. In exchange, the 
remaining optimum town lands would be conveyed to the town at no cost.
  I urge my colleagues to support this bill and, specifically, its 
provisions to bring the North Bonneville saga to an equitable and long-
overdue conclusion.
  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the Chairman, Mr. 
Mineta, and Sherry Boehlert and Bud Shuster for their leadership in 
bringing this Corps of Engineers authorization to the floor. Included 
are solid examples of local-Federal partnerships that will further 
Federal environmental goals while providing some cost-sharing 
assistance to local governments. In southwest Florida, for instance, 
Charlotte County is launching a major wastewater construction program 
to correct significant public health and environmental threats. The 
first phase of this product includes an advanced water recovery and re-
use program, which will result in significant water conservation and 
pollution-prevention. This re-use facility will allow the county to 
both reduce pollution flowing into Charlotte harbor, and address the 
problem of salt water intrusion into the drinking water supply. While 
the county will pay the majority of the costs associated with the 
overall program, the cost-sharing assistance provided under this bill 
will help ease the economic burden on the Charlotte community, while 
providing a boost for environmental protection and restoration. This is 
a good arrangement that will yield positive benefits.
  Mr. BORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I wish to compliment the leadership of the 
Public Works and Transportation Committee for presenting the House with 
an outstanding Water Resources Development Act.
  Our Committee Chairman, the gentleman from California, Mr. Mineta, 
our Ranking Republican Member, the gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr. 
Shuster, and the Ranking Republican on the Subcommittee on Water 
Resources and Environment, the gentleman from New York, Mr. Boehlert, 
have done an excellent job on this bill.
  I especially want to pay tribute to the Chairman of the Subcommittee 
on Water Resources and Environment, the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. 
Applegate, who has been a leader in the House on these issues and many 
other water resources issues.
  It was a sad moment for the Public Works and Transportation Committee 
and for the House when Chairman Applegate announced his decision to 
retire from Congress at the end of this year. He has been one of the 
guiding lights on the Committee for 18 years and he will be missed.
  It has truly been a pleasure to work with the gentleman from Ohio 
during my six terms in Congress and I wish him all the best as he 
leaves Congress. He has been a credit to the institution.
  Passage of H.R. 4460 will be a fitting tribute to the gentleman from 
Ohio's tenure as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Water Resources and 
Environment.
  H.R. 4460 is a bill that makes an important contribution to our 
Nation's infrastructure investment program. This bill will continue our 
biannual tradition of moving the Corps of Engineers program for 
development of ports and inland waterways forward.
  There has been a long-standing consensus that the Corps of Engineers 
program--which benefits all parts of our country--should receive an 
authorization in every Congress. We should continue that tradition with 
H.R. 4460.
  It is important to note that there are several other issues involving 
the Corps of Engineers program that should be addressed in the future. 
Such issues as the role of the Corps in environmental restoration and 
urban infrastructure, flood plain management and dredging policy must 
be considered. However, that should be done as part of a more 
comprehensive review of these policies, not as part of H.R. 4460.
  I also want to note that H.R. 4460 authorizes the overhaul of the 
Corps of Engineers hopper dredge McFarland at the Philadelphia Naval 
Shipyard. This work will be performed under private contract and is not 
intended to extend the closing date for the Naval Shipyard.
  The overhaul of the McFarland will accomplish two important goals. 
First, the McFarland, an outdated and inefficient dredge, will be made 
more efficient and cost-effective to perform the needed dredging work 
on the East Coast.
  Second, the private dredging industry will be given the opportunity 
during the time the McFarland is in the drydock to demonstrate that it 
can provide the flexibility, emergency services and specialized 
services that the customers of the McFarland have come to expect.
  This provision should result in better dredging services available 
for the ports and channels of the East Coast. It will mean improved 
access to ports, which is the goal of this bill and this prgram.
  H.R. 4460 is important infrastructure legislation and I urge its 
support in the House.
  Mr. BOEHLERT. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. APPLEGATE. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and 
I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Applegate] that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, H.R. 4460, as amended.
  The question was taken; and two-thirds having voted in favor thereof 
the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
