                WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1998

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I further ask unanimous consent that the 
Senate now proceed to the consideration of S. 2131, and ask that the 
substitute amendment, which is at the desk, be agreed to, the bill be 
read a third time and passed, with the motion to reconsider laid upon 
the table.
  I note that this legislation passed last evening, and this is a 
housekeeping matter to allow this matter to be received by the House 
quickly.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.


                           Amendment No. 3803

  (The text of the amendment is printed in today's Record under 
``Amendments submitted.'')
  Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, I am pleased to join in support of the 
Water Resources Development Act of 1998, one of the most important 
public works measures before the Senate. This important measure was 
approved this summer by the Committee on Environment and Public Works, 
on which I serve.
  This legislation includes authorizations for numerous water resources 
projects important to my state. Three shoreline protection projects 
which will protect property, wildlife habitat, and contribute to New 
Jersey's coastal economy are authorized to proceed to construction.
  Mr. President, I am pleased that this Committee has addressed a 
serious policy disagreement with the Administration over funding for 
shore protection projects. For the past five years, the Administration 
has requested no funding for new shore protection studies and has 
underfunded the construction work of ongoing projects. This year, the 
Administration proposed modifying the cost-share for shore protection 
projects to require the states and localities to finance the majority--
65 percent, of the costs of periodic renourishment. This activity is 
the most expensive portion of the project, since these projects 
generally receive 3-5 year renourishments over their 50-year period.
  I disagreed with this approach because I believed that it was unfair 
to

[[Page S12109]]

those communities that had planned for these projects and expected a 
true partnership with the federal government. During the consideration 
of this bill in Committee, I offered an amendment to allow us to phase 
in a more reasonable cost-sharing formula for shore protection 
projects. Those projects which have a feasibility study completed by 
the end of 1998 or which are authorized to proceed to construction in 
this bill, will continue to be covered by the 65/35 cost-share formula 
through the life of the projects, just as all flood control projects 
are cost-shared. Those projects authorized subsequently will continue 
to receive the 65/35 cost-share formula for the initial construction. 
However, states will be required to provide 50 percent--just five 
percent more of the costs--for periodic renourishment. While I was 
disappointed that we could not maintain the current cost share for all 
projects, I believe that the committee's proposal is fairer to the 
communities and states that have planned for these projects. We have 
authorized many shore protection projects that have only moved forward 
because of the efforts of Congress. I sincerely hope that our action 
today moves the Administration forward to begin planning and budgeting 
for these projects.
  The bill also provides necessary authorization adjustments for 
projects critical to the movement of cargo through the Port of New York 
and New Jersey as proposed by Senator Moynihan and I. The port annually 
handles 1.4 million containers and 30 billion gallons of petroleum 
products and is the gateway to a thriving economy for New Jersey, New 
York, and the entire country. By the year 2010, experts predict that 90 
percent of all liner freight will be shipped in containers. The bill's 
amendments are important to addressing the increasing cost of dredged 
material disposal in light of the moratorium on ocean disposal.
  In addition, the bill authorizes flood control studies important to 
numerous communities in my state. The bill provides for a study of 
flood control measures in the Repaupo Creek. This waterway contains a 
deteriorating 76-year old floodgate, which, if breached, threatens the 
communities of Greenwich, East Greenwich, Harrison, and Logan, Mantua, 
and Woolwich. Another important study of the Delaware River streams and 
watersheds in Camden and Gloucester Counties is authorized in the bill. 
The bill also includes a study of navigational needs along the 
Fortescue Inlet of the Delaware Bay.
  Mr. President, the State of New Jersey, local governments and 
regional authorities have been carefully planning and budgeting for the 
critical projects that this bill authorizes. Any further delays could 
have an adverse impact on the economies of regions that are affected by 
these projects. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
  I want to thank the Chairman, Senator Chafee, the Ranking Member, 
Senator Baucus, and the Subcommittee Chairman, Senator Warner, and 
their staff members for their hard work on this bill. The members of 
the committee staff, including Dan Delich, Ann Loomis, and Jo-Ellen 
Darcy were extremely helpful and professional, putting in many long 
hours to produce a bill that benefits communities across the country.
  Mr. MACK. Mr. President, I rise today in support of the Water 
Resources Development Act of 1998 (WRDA 98). WRDA 98 recognizes the 
importance of Florida's natural resources--through the authorization of 
projects and studies related to the Everglades, flood control, shore 
protection and water supply.
  The investment Congress has made in the Everglades is significant. 
The authorization of the extension of the Everglades' Critical 
Restoration Projects is important because there are many stakeholders 
involved. The Senate, through WRDA 98, sends a clear message that this 
investment is important.
  WRDA 98 recognizes the leadership Florida provides in the development 
of water resources by authorizing Aquifer Storage & Recovery projects 
in South Florida, as well as a deep water storage project in the 
Caloosahatchee River basin. These projects provide the important and 
necessary next steps to continue the progress made in the restoration 
of the Everglades.
  Finally, a critical Alternative Water Source provision provides the 
necessary framework for developing a sustainable water supply as 
Florida continues to experience unprecedented growth. In total, WRDA 98 
provides for the authorization of 23 projects in Florida to meet 
important shore protection, flood control and water supply needs in the 
State.
  The amendment (No. 3803) was agreed to.
  The bill (S. 2131), as amended, was considered read the third time 
and passed, as follows:

                                S. 2131

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SEC. 138. UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND ILLINOIS WATERWAY 
                   SYSTEM NAVIGATION MODERNIZATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) exports are necessary to ensure job creation and an 
     improved standard of living for the people of the United 
     States;
       (2) the ability of producers of goods in the United States 
     to compete in the international marketplace depends on a 
     modern and efficient transportation network;
       (3) a modern and efficient waterway system is a 
     transportation option necessary to provide United States 
     shippers a safe, reliable, and competitive means to win 
     foreign markets in an increasingly competitive international 
     marketplace;
       (4) the need to modernize is heightened because the United 
     States is at risk of losing its competitive edge as a result 
     of the priority that foreign competitors are placing on 
     modernizing their own waterway systems;
       (5) growing export demand projected over the coming decades 
     will force greater demands on the waterway system of the 
     United States and increase the cost to the economy if the 
     system proves inadequate to satisfy growing export 
     opportunities;
       (6) the locks and dams on the upper Mississippi River and 
     Illinois River waterway system were built in the 1930s and 
     have some of the highest average delays to commercial tows in 
     the country;
       (7) inland barges carry freight at the lowest unit cost 
     while offering an alternative to truck and rail 
     transportation that is environmentally sound, is energy 
     efficient, is safe, causes little congestion, produces little 
     air or noise pollution, and has minimal social impact; and
       (8) it should be the policy of the Corps of Engineers to 
     pursue aggressively modernization of the waterway system 
     authorized by Congress to promote the relative competitive 
     position of the United States in the international 
     marketplace.
       (b) Preconstruction Engineering and Design.--In accordance 
     with the Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway System 
     Navigation Study, the Secretary shall proceed immediately to 
     prepare engineering design, plans, and specifications for 
     extension of locks 20, 21, 22, 24, 25 on the Mississippi 
     River and the LaGrange and Peoria Locks on the Illinois 
     River, to provide lock chambers 110 feet in width and 1,200 
     feet in length, so that construction can proceed immediately 
     upon completion of studies and authorization of projects by 
     Congress.
