     development projects included in the Mitigation Project in 
     accordance with the Report of the Chief of Engineers dated 
     August 31, 1985;
       (2) sell or exchange such lands in accordance with 
     subsection (c)(1) and under such conditions as the Secretary 
     determines to be necessary to protect the interests of the 
     United States, utilize such lands as the Secretary determines 
     to be appropriate in connection with development, operation, 
     maintenance, or modification of the water resource 
     development projects, or grant such other interests as the 
     Secretary may determine to be reasonable in the public 
     interest; and
       (3) acquire, in accordance with subsections (c) and (d), 
     lands from willing sellers to offset the removal of any lands 
     from the Mitigation Project for the purposes listed in 
     subsection (a)(2) of this section.
       (b) Removal Process.--Beginning on the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the locations of these lands to be removed will be 
     determined at appropriate time intervals at the discretion of 
     the Secretary, in consultation with appropriate Federal and 
     State fish and wildlife agencies, to facilitate the operation

     utilize dredged material disposal areas in such a manner as 
     to maximize their reuse by disposal and removal of dredged 
     materials, in order to conserve undisturbed disposal areas 
     for wildlife habitat to the maximum extent practicable. Where 
     the habitat value loss due to reuse of disposal areas cannot 
     be offset by the reduced need for other unused disposal 
     sites, the Secretary shall determine, in consultation with 
     Federal and State fish and wildlife agencies, and ensure full 
     mitigation for any habitat value lost as a result of such 
     reuse.
       (f) Other Mitigation Lands.--The Secretary is also 
     authorized to transfer by lease, easement, license, or permit 
     lands acquired for the Wildlife Mitigation Project pursuant

     fish hatchery;
       (2) the burden of carrying out efforts to raise and stock 
     fish species in Fort Peck Lake has been disproportionately 
     borne by the State of Montana despite the existence of a 
     Federal project at Fort Peck Lake;
       (3)(A) as of the date of enactment of this Act, eastern 
     Montana has only 1 warm water fish hatchery, which is 
     inadequate to meet the demands of the region; and
       (B) a disease or infrastructure failure at that hatchery 
     could imperil fish populations throughout the region;
       (4) although the multipurpose project at Fort Peck, 
     Montana, authorized by the first section of the Act of August 
     30, 1935 (49 Stat. 1034, chapter 831), was intended to 
     include irrigation projects and other activities designed to 
     promote economic growth, many of those projects were never 
     completed, to the detriment of the local communities flooded 
     by the Fort Peck Dam;
       (5) the process of developing an environmental impact 
     statement for the update of the Corps of Engineers Master 
     Manual for the operation of the Missouri River recognized the 
     need for greater support of recreation activities and other 
     authorized purposes of the Fort Peck project;
       (6)(A) although fish stocking is included among the 
     authorized purposes of the Fort Peck project, the State of 
     Montana has funded the stocking of Fort Peck Lake since 1947; 
     and
       (B) the obligation to fund the stocking constitutes an 
     undue burden on the State; and
       (7) a viable multispecies fishery would spur economic 
     development in the region.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are--
       (1) to authorize and provide funding for the design and 
     construction of a multispecies fish hatchery at Fort Peck

     SEC. 602. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING HOMESTEAD AIR FORCE 
                   BASE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the Everglades is an American treasure and includes 
     uniquely-important and diverse wildlife resources and 
     recreational opportunities;
       (2) the preservation of the pristine and natural character 
     of the South Florida ecosystem is critical to the regional 
     economy;
       (3) as this legislation demonstrates, Congress believes it 
     to be a vital national mission to restore and preserve this 
     ecosystem and accordingly is authorizing a significant 
     Federal investment to do so;
       (4) Congress seeks to have the remaining property at the 
     former Homestead Air Base conveyed and reused as 
     expeditiously as possible, and several options for base reuse 
     are being considered, including as a commercial airport; and
       (5) Congress is aware that the Homestead site is located in 
     a sensitive environmental location, and that Biscayne 
     National Park is only approximately 1.5 miles to the east, 
     Everglades National Park approximately 8 miles to the west, 
     and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary approximately 
     10 miles to the south.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) development at the Homestead site could potentially 
     cause significant air, water, and noise pollution and result 
     in the degradation of adjacent national parks and other 
     protected Federal resources;
       (2) in their decisionmaking, the Federal agencies charged 
     with determining the reuse of the remaining property at the 
     Homestead base should carefully consider and weigh all 
     available information concerning potential environmental 
     impacts of various reuse options;
       (3) the redevelopment of the former base should be 
     consistent with restoration goals, provide desirable numbers 
     of jobs and economic redevelopment for the community, and be 
     consistent with other applicable laws;
       (4) consistent with applicable laws, the Secretary of the 
     Air Force should proceed as quickly as practicable to issue a 
     final SEIS and Record of Decision so that reuse of the former 
     air base can proceed expeditiously;
       (5) following conveyance of the remaining surplus property, 
     the Secretary, as part of his oversight for Everglades 
     restoration, should cooperate with the entities to which the 
     various parcels of surplus property were conveyed so that the 
     planned use of those properties is implemented in such a 
     manner as to remain consistent with the goals of the 
     Everglades restoration plan; and
       (6) not later than August 1, 2002, the Secretary should 
     submit a report to the appropriate committees of Congress on 
     actions taken and make any recommendations for consideration 
     by Congress.

     SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Missouri River Protection 
     and Improvement Act of 2000''.

     SEC. 702. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the Missouri River is--
       (A) an invaluable economic, environmental, recreational, 
     and cultural resource to the people of the United States; and
       (B) a critical source of water for drinking and irrigation;
       (2) millions of people fish, hunt, and camp along the 
     Missouri River each year;
       (3) thousands of sites of spiritual importance to Native 
     Americans line the shores of the Missouri River;
       (4) the Missouri River provides critical wildlife habitat 
     for threatened and endangered species;
       (5) in 1944, Congress approved the Pick-Sloan program--
       (A) to promote the general economic development of the 
     United States;
       (B) to provide for irrigation above Sioux City, Iowa;
       (C) to protect urban and rural areas from devastating 
     floods of the Missouri River; and
       (D) for other purposes;
       (6) the Garrison Dam was constructed on the Missouri River 
     in North Dakota and the Oahe Dam was constructed in South 
     Dakota under the Pick-Sloan program;
       (7) the dams referred to in paragraph (6)--
       (A) generate low-cost electricity for millions of people in 
     the United States;
       (B) provide revenue to the Treasury; and
       (C) provide flood control that has prevented billions of 
     dollars of damage;
       (8) the Garrison and Oahe Dams have reduced the ability of 
     the Missouri River to carry sediment downstream, resulting in 
     the accumulation of sediment in the reservoirs known as Lake 
     Sakakawea and Lake Oahe;
       (9) the sediment depositions--
       (A) cause shoreline flooding;
       (B) destroy wildlife habitat;

       (D) threaten the long-term ability of dams to provide 
     hydropower and flood control under the Pick-Sloan program;
       (E) reduce water quality; and
       (F) threaten intakes for drinking water and irrigation; and
       (10) to meet the objectives established by Congress for the 
     Pick-Sloan program, it is necessary to establish a Missouri 
     River Restoration Program--
       (A) to improve conservation;
       (B) to reduce the deposition of sediment; and
       (C) to take other steps necessary for proper management of 
     the Missouri River.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
       (1) to reduce the siltation of the Missouri River in the 
     State of North Dakota;

     developing and implementing a long-term strategy--
       (A) to improve conservation in the Missouri River 
     watershed;
       (B) to protect recreation on the Missouri River from 
     sedimentation;
       (C) to improve water quality in the Missouri River;
       (D) to improve erosion control along the Missouri River; 
     and

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The Managers on the part of the House and Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the House to the bill (S. 2796), to provide for 
     the conservation and development of water and related 
     resources, to authorize the Secretary of the Army to 
     construct various projects for improvements to rivers and 
     harbors of the United States, and for other purposes, submit 
     the following joint statement to the House and Senate in 
     explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the 
     managers and recommended in the accompanying conference 
     report:
       The House amendment struck all of the Senate bill after the 
     enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
       The Senate recedes from its disagreement to the amendment 
     of the House with an amendment that is a substitute for the 
     Senate bill and the House amendment. The differences among 
     the Senate bill, the House amendment, and the substitute 
     agreed to in conference are noted below, except for clerical 
     corrections, conforming changes made necessary by agreements 
     reached by the Managers, and minor drafting and clerical 
     changes.

     appropriate action to ensure that the Secretary and the non-
     Federal sponsor of a project do not employ the same person 
     for engineering and consulting services unless there is only 
     one qualified and responsive bidder for such services.

       The Managers have included this section that will test the 
     design-build method of project delivery on various civil 
     works projects of the Corps of Engineers. In carrying out 
     this section, the Managers expect that the Corps will employ 
     the two-phase design-build selection procedures enacted by 
     Congress in the Federal Acquisition Reform Act (FARA) of 1996 
     (110 Stat. 642).

  SEC. 225. FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND PLANNING, ENGINEERING, AND DESIGN

       House Sec. 223. No comparable Senate section.--Senate 
     recedes.
       The Managers recognize the difficulties some non-Federal 
     partners may have in fulfilling their financial obligation 
     related to the cost sharing of feasibility studies. The non-
     Federal share is 50 percent. This section gives non-Federal 
     sponsors the option of providing up to 100 percent of their 
     share of the feasibility study cost through in-kind 
     contributions which could be services, materials, supplies, 
     or other in-kind contributions necessary to prepare the 
     feasibility report.


           SEC. 226. ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF LAND CONVEYANCES

       House Sec. 224. No comparable Senate section.--Senate 
     recedes, with an amendment.
       When the Corps is given authority to convey land to non-
     federal governmental, nonprofit, or not-for-profit entities, 
     the administrative costs of the transfer, to include real 
     estate transaction and environmental compliance costs, are 
     generally the responsibility of the entity receiving the 
     property. The Managers are aware of a few instances where the 
     imposition of these administrative costs poses a hardship to 
     entities in economically deprived areas. It is apparent in 
     some cases that the administrative cost associated with these 
     transfers exceeds the value of the land. The Managers believe 
     that this requirement to pay administrative costs should not 
     be a precluding factor when land that is excess to Corps 
     project purposes can be put to beneficial use. Therefore, the 
     Managers have provided in this section that in such cases, 
     the Secretary may limit the administrative costs.
       In carrying out this section the Managers believe the 
     Secretary should give priority consideration for a limitation 
     on the administrative costs to Summerfield Cemetery 
     Association, Wister, Oklahoma for a conveyance at Wister 
     Lake, to the Choctaw County Industrial Authority, Hugo, 
     Oklahoma for a conveyance at Lake Hugo, and to recipients 
     of the conveyance at Candy Lake, Oklahoma.
       Also, the Managers find that the economic trends in 
     southeastern Oklahoma related to unemployment and per capita 
     income are not conducive to local economic development, and 
     efforts to improve the management of water in the region 
     would have a positive influence on the local economy, help 
     reverse these trends, and improve the lives of local 
     residents. The Managers believe that State of Oklahoma and 
     the Choctaw Nation, Oklahoma, should establish a State-tribal 
     commission composed equally of representatives of such 
     Nations and residents of the water basins within the 
     boundaries of such Nations for the purpose of administering 
     and distributing from the sale of water any benefits and net 
     revenues to the tribes and local entities within the 
     respective basins; any sale of water to entities outside the 
     basins should be consistent with the procedures and 
     requirements established by the commission; and if requested, 
     the Secretary should provide assistance, as appropriate, to 
     facilitate the efforts of the commission. Such a commission 
     focusing on the Kiamichi River Basin and other basins within 
     the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations would allow all entities 
     (State of Oklahoma, Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations, and 
     residents of local basin(s)) to work cooperatively to see 
     that the benefits and revenues being generated from the sale/
     use of water to entities outside the respective basins are 
     distributed in an agreeable manner.

       Navigation on the upper portions of the Bayou Teche has 
     dwindled over the past several years to a few vessels per 
     month due to the infrequent operation of the Keystone Lock by 
     the Corps of Engineers. St. Martin Parish wishes to operate, 
     maintain, repair, replace and rehabilitate the lock once the 
     Corps completes renovation of the lock to a safe and operable 
     condition. This transfer will provide cost savings to the 
     federal government and better service to mariners navigating 
     the bayou. The Managers have inserted language that requires 
     the parish to operate, maintain, repair, replace and 
     rehabilitate the lock in accordance with regulations 
     prescribed by the Secretary that are consistent with the 
     project's authorized purposes. If the parish fails to comply 
     with these conditions, the Secretary may reclaim possession 
     of the land and improvements or may make the necessary 
     repairs and require payment from the parish.

       The Secretary is directed to investigate the problems 
     associated with ``fluff'' created by the mixture of 
     freshwater, saltwater and fine river silt in the channels. 
     Fluff is a gel-like material that makes steering and 
     propulsion difficult and is both a navigation hazard and an 
     economic problem for boaters.

       The study of this project was authorized by section 439 of 
     the Water Resources Development Act of 1996 (110 Stat. 3747). 
     Subsequent to the authorization, the Corps of Engineers and 
     the City of Portland, Oregon, agreed to carry out the project 
     under the authority of ``project modification to improve the 
     environment'', a continuing authority program authorized by 
     section 1135(a) of the Water Resources Development Act of 
     1986 (33 U.S.C. 2309a(a)). Pursuant to a project cooperation 
     agreement, the City of Portland has provided substantial 
     resources in cash and in-kind services toward a feasibility 
     study for the project as required under section 1135(a). When 
     the study was near completion, and preliminary results 
     indicated that the project is appropriate for construction, 
     the Corps suspended the study due to an internal decision to 
     reallocate funds to other projects. The Corps should complete 
     the study and carry out the project expeditiously if the 
     Secretary determines that the project is appropriate.

     and that Congress has not reauthorized, renewed or otherwise

     the projects set forth thereunder.

       Crowder Point is a Corps of Engineers public park on the 
     southern end of Eufaula Lake in Oklahoma that is not being 
     maintained due to budgetary constraints. The Managers favor a 
     partnership between the Secretary and the City of Crowder, 
     Oklahoma that would involve a long-term lease under which the 
     City would develop, operate, and maintain the property as a 
     public park. Recognizing the public benefits that would 
     derive from the City's participation in this partnership, the 
     Secretary is directed to issue the lease without cost. Also, 
     to ensure that the development and operation of the park by 
     the City are in the public interest, the Secretary is 
     directed to include such terms and conditions as are 
     necessary to achieve those ends.
