     separable element thereof, by the Secretary of the Army, 
     acting through the Chief of Engineers, or by a non-Federal

     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 or 
     statutory limitations of the State or a political subdivision 
     of the State.

     SEC. 2029. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CRITERIA FOR OPERATION AND 
                   MAINTENANCE OF HARBOR DREDGING PROJECTS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Insufficient maintenance dredging results in 
     inefficient water transportation and harmful economic 
     consequences.
       (2) The estimated dredging backlog at commercial harbors in 
     the Great Lakes alone is 16,000,000 cubic yards.
       (3) Approximately two-thirds of all shipping in the United 
     States either starts or finishes at small harbors.
       (4) Small harbors often have a greater proportional impact 
     on local economies than do larger harbors.
       (5) Performance metrics can be valuable tools in the budget 
     process for water resources projects.
       (6) The use of a single performance metric for water 
     resources projects can result in a budget biased against 
     small and rural communities.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the operations and maintenance budget of the Corps of 
     Engineers should reflect the use of all available economic 
     data, rather than a single performance metric.

       (1) In general.--Concurrent with the President's submission 
     to Congress of the President's request for appropriations for 
     the Civil Works Program for a fiscal year, the Secretary 
     shall submit to the Committee on Transportation and 
     Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate a 
     report on the status of construction of projects that require 
     mitigation under section 906 of the Water Resources 
     Development Act of 1986 (33 U.S.C. 2283), the status of such

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 1495) 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 the Senate in 
     explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the 
     managers and recommended in the accompanying conference 
     report:
       The Senate amendment struck all of the House bill after the

     the Senate with an amendment that is a substitute for the 
     House bill and the Senate amendment. The differences between 
     the House bill, the Senate amendment, and the substitute 
     agreed to in conference are noted below, except for clerical

     amendment.
       The Managers recognize the importance of efficient and 
     effective processing of permits by the Corps of Engineers for 
     activities affecting federally regulated waters, including 
     wetlands, in compliance with the Federal Water Pollution 
     Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et. seq.). Congress included a 
     provision in the Water Resources Development Act of 2000 
     (Pub. L. 106-541, Sec. 214) to expedite the permit processing 
     time for nonfederal public entities.
       The Managers also recognize the findings and 
     recommendations of the May 2007 report of the United States 
     Government Accountability Office (``GAO''), entitled ``Corps 
     of

[[Page H9128]]

     Engineers Needs to Ensure That Permit Decisions Made Using 
     Funds from Nonfederal Public Entities Are Transparent and 
     Impartial'' (GAO-07-478). In this report, GAO emphasized the 
     importance of transparency and impartiality in permit reviews 
     and decisionmaking, and ensuring that all of the Corps' 
     District offices follow internal Corps' Headquarters guidance 
     on maintaining impartial decisionmaking, including, at a 
     minimum, that all Corps District offices provide that permits 
     decisions under section 214 are reviewed at least by one 
     level above the decisionmaker, that all final permit 
     decisions are made available electronically, that the Corps 
     not eliminate any procedures or decisions that would 
     otherwise be required for the type of project under 
     consideration, and that the Corps comply with all applicable 
     laws and regulations. The GAO report also expressed concern 
     that certain Corps districts have allowed private companies 
     to submit permit applications under section 214, in 
     contravention to the intent of this authority.
       Although GAO was not able to conclude definitively whether 
     permitting processing times have decreased under the section 
     214 program, the report does recognize some benefits reported 
     by participating non-Federal public entities, including the 
     potential for reduced cost and time for permit processing for 
     those entities that have contributed funds to the program, 
     and improved communication between participating entities and 
     the Corps.
       The Managers intend to conduct additional oversight on the 
     implementation of this program before the authority for this 
     program expires in 2009.

       House Sec. 2006, Senate Sec. 2033, 2035, and 2037.--Senate 
     recedes, with an amendment.
       The Managers recognize the importance of projects for the 
     restoration of salt-water estuaries and for the 
     rehabilitation and removal of dams in improving aquatic 
     ecosystems and the environment. The Managers recognize that 
     such projects are typically eligible under section 206 of the 
     Water Resources Development Act of 1996 (33 U.S.C. 2330).
       This section amends section 206 to explicitly authorize 
     projects that improve elements and features of an estuary (as 
     defined in section 103 of the Estuaries and Clean Waters Act 
     of 2000 (33 U.S.S. 2902)) and projects for the removal of

                   SEC. 2034. INDEPENDENT PEER REVIEW

       Senate Sec. 2007, House Sec. 2037.--House recedes, with an 
     amendment.
       Section 2034 provides that project studies shall be subject 
     to peer review by an independent panel of experts, as 
     provided in this section. The conference agreement is a 
     combination of independent peer review proposals passed by 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives. The managers 
     believe that the conference agreement improves upon both the 
     House and Senate proposals to create a strong, workable, and 
     independent process for review of project studies carried out 
     by the Corps of Engineers. For example, the conference 
     agreement authorizes the independent peer review to run 
     concurrent with the project study period, and requires that 
     the peer review panel remain beyond the release of the 
     independent peer review report to allow the expertise gained 
     during the review period to be utilized by the Corps up to 
     the release of the draft report of the Chief of Engineers.
       This section establishes two categories for independent 
     peer review--project studies for which independent peer 
     review is mandatory, and project studies for which such 
     review is discretionary. This section provides for mandatory 
     review of project studies that have an estimated total cost 
     of more than $45 million, project studies for which the 
     Governor of an affected state requests an independent peer 
     review, and project studies that the Chief of Engineers 
     determines are controversial. In determining whether a 
     project is controversial, the Chief of Engineers must 
     consider whether there is significant public dispute as to 
     the size, nature, or effects of the proposed project, and 
     whether there is significant public dispute as to the 
     economic or environmental costs or benefits of the proposed 
     project.
       Section 2034(a)(3)(B) provides for discretionary 
     independent peer review of project studies for which the head 
     of a Federal or state agency charged with reviewing the 
     project study determines that the proposed project is likely 
     to have a significant adverse impact on environmental, 
     cultural, or other natural resources under the jurisdiction 
     of the agency after implementation of the proposed mitigation 
     plans. This section provides that the Chief of Engineers must 
     reach a decision whether to conduct an independent peer 
     review of such project studies within 21 days of a receipt of 
     a request by the head of the Federal or state agency. In the 
     event that the Chief of Engineers decides not to conduct a 
     discretionary independent peer review, the head of the 
     Federal or state agency that requested the review may appeal 
     this decision to the Chairman of the Council on Environmental 
     Quality (``CEQ''). The Chairman of CEQ must reach a decision 
     on whether an independent peer review must be conducted for 
     the project study within 30 days of receipt of an appeal. In 
     the event that the Chief of Engineers decides not to conduct 
     an independent peer review, the Chief of Engineers must make 
     the reasons for not conducting the review publicly available, 
     including on the Internet.

[[Page H9129]]

       Section 2034 permits the Chief of Engineers to exclude a 
     very limited number of project studies from independent peer 
     review. The managers expect that project studies that could 
     be excluded from independent peer review are so limited in 
     scope or impact, that they would not significantly benefit 
     from an independent peer review.
       Sections 2034(a)(5)(A) and (B) establish criteria for the 
     Chief of Engineers to exclude a project study that is subject 
     to independent peer review because its estimated total costs 
     exceed $45 million. The managers expect that these criteria 
     allow the Chief of Engineers to exclude from independent peer 
     review only those project studies for which there is no 
     controversy, a lack of significant impact to cultural, 
     historical, or tribal resources, a lack of substantial 
     adverse impacts to fish and wildlife species or habitat, and 
     a lack of an impact on endangered or threatened species under 
     the Endangered Species Act, or involve projects that, in 
     essence, replace existing components of ongoing projects 
     within the same footprint as the original project, or have 
     minimal risk to life or public safety.
       Project studies subject to independent peer review based on 
     the request of the Governor of an affected State may not be 
     excluded from review.
       Section 2034(a)(5)(C) authorizes the Chief of Engineers to 
     exclude the small project studies developed under certain of 
     the Corps of Engineers continuing authorities programs; 
     however, such project studies could be subject to independent 
     peer review under the factors established under section 
     2034(a)(3)(A).
       Sections 2034(a)(2) and 2034(d) establish the duties of the 
     independent peer review panel and the scope of review for a 
     project study. The managers have defined the scope of review 
     broadly to allow the independent review panel to examine all 
     of the economic and environmental assumptions and 
     projections, project evaluation data, economic analyses, 
     environmental analyses, engineering analyses, formulation of 
     alternative plans, methods for integrating risk and 
     uncertainty, models used in evaluation of economic or 
     environmental impacts of proposed projects, and any 
     biological opinions of the project study. The managers expect 
     the independent peer review panel to review those components 
     of a project study for which the panel believes there is a 
     reason for review. The managers do not expect the independent 
     peer review panel to review components of the project study 
     where the panel determines there is no controversy, 
     disagreement, or concern.
       Sections 2034(b) and 2034(e)(1)(A) establish the timing of 
     the independent peer review. The managers expect that, in all 
     cases, the independent peer review will occur during the 
     period beginning on the date of the signing of the 
     feasibility cost-sharing agreement, and will be conducted 
     concurrent with the development of the project study by the 
     Corps of Engineers. The managers believe that having the 
     independent peer review carried out concurrently with the 
     development of the project study will allow the independent 
     peer review panel to receive relevant information from the 
     Corps, on a timely basis, and allow the independent peer 
     review panel to provide ongoing input into the development of 
     the project study. The managers expect that this process will 
     provide the independent peer review panel with sufficient 
     information to conduct its review, as well as allow the peer 
     review panel to recommend mid-course corrections to the 
     ongoing project study, and avoid the potential for 
     significant issues or delay to arise at the end of the 
     project study period. The managers recognize that the 
     recommendations of the independent peer review panel are 
     advisory; however, the managers expect the Corps to give full 
     consideration to the findings of the independent peer review 
     panel.
       Section 2034(e)(1)(A) provides that the independent peer 
     review panel conclude its peer review, and submit a report to 
     the Chief of Engineers, not more than 60 days after the close 
     of the public comment period for the draft project study. The 
     Chief of Engineers may extend the period for the peer review 
     panel to conclude its peer review if the Chief of Engineers 
     determines that additional time is necessary. The managers 
     have included language to terminate the peer review panel on 
     the date of the initiation of the State and agency review, 
     which is conterminous with the release of the draft Report of 
     the Chief of Engineers for the project, and which is after 
     the issuance of the peer review report. The managers 
     recognize that the Corps of Engineers intends to allow a 
     member or members of the peer review panel to participate on 
     the Civil Works Review Board, which requires District 
     Commanders to present their final reports and recommendations 
     for review. The managers have included language to keep the 
     independent peer review impaneled beyond the issuance of the 
     peer review report to allow a member of the peer review panel 
     to participate on the Civil Works Review Board, and to be 
     available as experts, if needed, for additional consultation 
     with the Corps of Engineers on the project study.


                   SEC. 2035. SAFETY ASSURANCE REVIEW

       Senate Sec. 2007(d), No comparable House section.--House 
     recedes, with an amendment.


    SEC. 2036. MITIGATION FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE AND WETLANDS LOSSES

       House Sec. 2013 and 2014, Senate Sec. 2008.--House recedes, 
     with an amendment.
       Section 2036 amends section 906(d) of the Water Resources 
     Development Act of 1986 with more explicit mitigation 
     requirements and to specify the elements that must be 
     identified in a mitigation plan required under that section.
       This section requires the Secretary to mitigate losses to 
     flood damage reduction capabilities and losses to fish and 
     wildlife of the project area. The specific mitigation plan 
     must include a description of the physical action to be 
     undertaken. The plan also must include a description of the 
     lands or interests in lands to be acquired for mitigation, 
     and the basis for a determination that such lands are 
     available. This description is not intended to be a 
     description of the specific property interests, but the plan 
     must describe how the mitigation will be implemented.
       The managers expect the mitigation plan to identify the 
     quantity and type of lands needed, and include a 
     determination that lands of such quantity and type are 
     available for acquisition. The plan also must include the 
     type, amount, and characteristics of the habitat to be 
     restored. The plan must include success criteria based on 
     replacement of lost functions and values of the habitat, 
     including hydrologic and vegetative characteristics. Finally, 
     if monitoring is necessary to determine success of the 
     mitigation, the plan must include a plan for monitoring and 
     to the extent practicable, identification of the entities 
     responsible for monitoring. As monitoring is part of 
     operation and maintenance of a project, in most cases the 
     entity responsible for any monitoring will be the non-Federal 
     sponsor. If such person is not identifiable at the time the 
     mitigation plan is prepared under this section, such person 
     must be identified in the partnership agreement entered into 
     with the non-Federal interest.
       The managers support more specificity in Corps reporting 
     documents concerning expected mitigation efforts. Such 
     increased specificity will better inform the Congress, the 
     non-Federal sponsor, and the public as to planned mitigation 
     efforts and the likely success of these efforts. This section 
     also directs the Secretary to submit to Congress a report on 
     the status of mitigation concurrent with the submission of 
     reports on the status of project construction, as part of the 
     President's budget submission.
       Section 2036(c) directs the Secretary, when carrying out 
     water resources projects, to first consider the use of a 
     mitigation bank if the bank has sufficient and appropriate 
     (including ecologically appropriate) credit to offset the 
     impact, and the mitigation bank meets certain criteria. To 
     the maximum extent practicable, the service area of the 
     mitigation bank shall be in the same watershed as the project 
     activity for which mitigation is required.
       Nothing in this section affects the responsibility of the 
     Corps of Engineers to apply the regulatory guidelines 
     developed under section 404(b)(1) of the Federal Water 
     Pollution Control Act (40 CFR Part 230) related to mitigation 
     sequencing.

     subsection (f) that directs the Secretary to give priority to

     Cove, California; Egmont Key, Florida; Calcasieu Ship 
     Channel, Louisiana; Delaware River Estuary, New Jersey and

       The managers recognize the importance of waterfront and

     that, in some instances, waterfront and riverfront

     development plans contain elements that fall within 
     traditional Corps mission areas of navigation, flood damage 
     reduction, and environmental restoration, and associated 
     recreation. However, the managers believe that waterfront and 
     riverfront development projects, in and of themselves, are 
     not a Corps mission and Corps participation in these

     missions. While recreation is frequently an element of

     do not intend for the Corps to carry out purely recreational 
     elements of the project, unrelated to the traditional 
     missions of the Corps. The managers direct the Corps to limit 
     its work on recreation features to only those elements that 
     relate to the traditional Corps mission areas that are being 
     built as an element of the larger waterfront and riverfront 
     development project plan.

       The Managers recognize that oyster restoration activities

[[Page H9132]]

     Corps environmental protection and restoration mission, and 
     are appropriately cost shared at a non-Federal cost of 35 
     percent, consistent with section 103 of the Water Resources 
     Development Act of 1986 (33 U.S.C. 2213). This section does 
     not create a new cost share for oyster restoration 
     activities.

       The managers recognize the importance of waterfront and 
     riverfront development projects to local communities and 
     that, in some instances, waterfront and riverfront 
     development plans contain elements that fall within 
     traditional Corps mission areas of navigation, flood damage 
     reduction, and environmental restoration, and associated 
     recreation. However, the managers believe that waterfront and 
     riverfront development projects, in and of themselves, are 
     not a Corps mission and Corps participation in these 
     development projects must be limited to traditional Corps 
     missions. While recreation is frequently an element of 
     waterfront and riverfront development projects, the managers 
     do not intend for the Corps to carry out purely recreational 
     elements of the project, unrelated to the traditional 
     missions of the Corps. The managers direct the Corps to limit 
     its work on recreation features to only those elements that 
     relate to the traditional Corps mission areas that are being 
     built as an element of the larger waterfront and riverfront 
     development project plan.

       Section 3135 provides general authorization to complete the 
     current buyout of residences and businesses in the 
     communities of Picher, Cardin, and Hockerville, Oklahoma for 
     those applicants that wish to participate in the program 
     being administered by the State of Oklahoma. The funds 
     authorized in this section may be appropriated through any 
     Act of appropriation.
       Section 3135 directs the Administrator of the Environmental 
     Protection Agency to consider a remedial action for the Tar 
     Creek, Oklahoma, National Priorities List site that includes 
     permanent relocation of residents consistent with the program 
     and costs of the program being administered by the State of 
     Oklahoma. The Administrator should make appropriate use of 
     the expertise and experience of the State of Oklahoma Lead-
     Impacted Communities Relocation Assistance Trust in 
     developing such a remedy.
       Section 3135 also provides that the inclusion of subsidence 
     remedies, such as relocation, as part of the remedial action 
     does not preempt or in any way delay or interfere with the 
     right of any sovereign entity, including any state or tribal 
     government, to utilize state laws to seek additional or other 
     remedies, such as abatement, for the land subsidence and 
     subsidence risks. This section does not supersede state or 
     tribal authority to seek remedies for land subsidence.

       The managers recognize the need to review Federal policy 
     concerning water supply at Corps of Engineers reservoirs, and 
     to determine whether changes are warranted. At many existing 
     Corps of Engineers reservoirs, there is the possibility of 
     expanding the storage space that is dedicated to municipal 
     and industrial water supply (drinking water) as an 
     alternative to alleviate local water supply shortages. This 
     is particularly true throughout the Southwest and Southeast. 
     The current policy of the Corps of Engineers is to maximize 
     the return to the Treasury for the right to utilize storage 
     at these existing reservoirs. This often makes the cost of 
     storage too high for many communities.
       The managers have included section 3152 in the Water 
     Resources Development Act of 2007 to address this issue at 
     Pat Mayse Lake, Texas; however, the managers do not expect to 
     address additional water supply agreements on a case-by-case 
     basis in future water resources bills, but rather to review 
     the overall Federal policy concerning the operation of Corps 
     of Engineers facilities.

       House Sec. 5015 and 5016, Senate Sec. 5029.--Senate 
     recedes, with an amendment.
       The Great Lakes contain 134 deep-draft harbors and six 
     connecting channels within the Corps of Engineers' dredging 
     responsibility, including 25 of the nation's largest ports. 
     The total waterborne commerce on the Great Lakes equals 
     nearly 7 percent of the nation's maritime commerce. Recent 
     shortfalls in the Corps' dredging appropriation have delayed 
     dredging at many Great Lakes ports and waterways. The low 
     water levels that have plagued the Lakes since the late 1990s 
     have only exacerbated the problem. As a result, the largest 
     vessels in the Great Lakes fleet must forfeit nearly 270 tons 
     of cargo for each 1-inch reduction in loaded draft. Ocean-
     going vessels in the international trade lose roughly 100 
     tons of cargo for each 1-inch loss of draft.
       Section 5014(a) directs the Secretary, using available 
     appropriated funds, to expedite the operation and 
     maintenance, including dredging, of the navigation features 
     of the Great Lakes and Connecting Channels for the purpose of 
     supporting commercial navigation to authorized project 
     depths.

       The managers recognize the importance of waterfront and 
     riverfront development projects to local communities and 
     that, in some instances, waterfront and riverfront 
     development plans contain elements that fall within 
     traditional Corps mission areas of navigation, flood damage 
     reduction, and environmental restoration, and associated 
     recreation. However, the managers believe that waterfront and 
     riverfront development projects, in and of themselves, are 
     not a Corps mission and Corps participation in these 
     development projects must be limited to traditional Corps 
     missions. While recreation is frequently an element of 
     waterfront and riverfront development projects, the managers 
     do not intend for the Corps to carry out purely recreational 
     elements of the project, unrelated to the traditional

  INITIAL PROJECTS, COMPREHENSIVE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN, FLORIDA

       The managers have agreed to delete House section 6003 that 
     would have increased the maximum cost for three initial 
     projects of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan 
     (CERP)--Water Conservation Areas 3A/3B Levee Seepage 
     Management, C-11 Impoundment and Stormwater Treatment Area, 
     and C-9 Impoundment and Stormwater Treatment Area. These 
     projects are still undergoing study and final cost 
     estimates are not available. Project components of CERP 
     have seen their cost estimates vary widely during the 
     project formulation and design phases. The managers 
     support the completion of the studies on these projects 
     prior to taking action on their cost estimates. Until the 
     final project implementation report recommends final cost 
     estimates, the managers believe that it is premature to 
     enact new cost figures.
       The project implementation reports for the three projects 
     are projected to be completed in 2008. The managers expect to 
     consider the correct authorization levels for these projects 
     in a water resources bill next year.


               MODIFIED WATER DELIVERIES PROJECT, FLORIDA

       The Everglades National Park Protection and Expansion Act 
     of 1989, Public Law 101-229, (1989 Act), authorized the 
     expansion of Everglades National Park (Park), a change to 
     more natural water deliveries to the Park, and flood damage 
     reduction measures for the area known as the eight and one-
     half square mile area. Of the three activities, there still 
     has been no change in water deliveries to the Park. Without a 
     change in water delivery to the Park, restoration of the 
     Everglades, and many of the projects authorized as components 
     of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) in 
     2000, will not succeed.
       To achieve more natural water deliveries to the Park, it is 
     necessary to modify the way water crosses under the Tamiami 
     Trail Highway. The managers of the bill are concerned that 
     nearly 18 years have passed since the 1989 Act, and the 
     restoration of more natural water flows has not occurred. 
     While the House bill contained language directing a 
     particular option toward restoring flows, the Corps of 
     Engineers and other interested parties have indicated that 
     the ``two-bridge'' option may not be the preferred solution. 
     However, the managers are concerned that continuing re-
     analysis of options for modifying water deliveries will only 
     delay benefits to the Everglades.
       The managers have observed proposals related to improved 
     water deliveries to the Park come and go over the years, yet 
     the more natural flows to the Park do not occur. It is time 
     for the Chief of Engineers to implement measures to improve 
     water deliveries and adopt an adaptive management approach 
     toward restoring flows.
       The managers have agreed to delete the House language on 
     the two-bridge option. The managers direct the Chief of 
     Engineers to re-examine options to modify the water delivery 
     to the Park. However, the managers also direct the Chief of 
     Engineer to pursue immediate steps to increase flows to the 
     Park of at least 1400 cubic feet per second, without 
     significantly increasing the risk of roadbed failure. Flows 
     less than 1400 cubic feet per second will not produce 
     measurable benefits to the Park.
       The managers direct the Chief of Engineers to proceed with 
     increasing flows to the Park upon the completion of the eight 
     and one-half square mile area construction this fall. 
     Completing that construction removes the current constraint 
     on water levels within the Northeast Shark River Slough area 
     of the Park.
       The managers direct the Chief of Engineers to re-examine 
     the prior reports and environmental documentation associated 
     with modifying water deliveries to the Park prepared under 
     the 1989 Act, and to evaluate the practicable alternatives 
     for increasing the flow of water under the highway and into 
     the Park. The recommendations resulting from this re-
     examination are to be for improving flows in a manner that is 
     consistent with the direction in the 1989 Act that the 
     Secretary of the Army construct modifications ``to improve 
     water deliveries into the park and shall, to the extent 
     practicable, take steps to restore the natural hydrological 
     conditions within the Park.'' The managers direct that the 
     flows to the Park have a minimum target of 4000 cubic feet 
     per second so as to address the restoration envisioned in the 
     1989 Act.
       The Chief of Engineers is to develop the recommendations in 
     consultation with the Department of the Interior, the 
     Department of Transportation, the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians 
     of Florida, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, and the State of 
     Florida, and shall consider environmental benefits produced, 
     cost, related CERP improvements, and other relevant factors.
       The recommendations of the Chief of Engineers shall 
     identify a plan for increasing and distributing water flows 
     to the Park through project components that take into account 
     the fact that a subsequent project involving modifications to 
     the Tamiami Trail Highway may be accomplished under the 
     authority of the Water Resources Development Act of 2000. 
     Modifications that are not compatible with that project or 
     are duplicative should be avoided.
       The recommendations of the Chief of Engineers shall be 
     available for public review and comment consistent with 
     applicable law, and shall be submitted to Congress not later 
     than July 1, 2008.
       Concurrent with the preparation of recommendations for 
     modifying water deliveries under the 1989 Act, the managers 
     direct the Chief of Engineers to initiate an evaluation of 
     the Tamiami Trail project component of the Comprehensive 
     Everglades Restoration Plan authorized by section 
     601(b)(2)(C)(viii) of the Water Resources Development Act of 
     2000, or other appropriate authorities, as soon as 
     practicable. The recommendations shall include an evaluation 
     of modifying Tamiami Trail from Krome Avenue to the boundary 
     of the Big Cypress National Park to restore natural flows and 
     ecological connectivity through the Park to Florida Bay. Upon 
     completion of these recommendations the Chief of Engineers 
     shall submit the recommendations to the Committee on 
     Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Environment and Public 
     Works of the Senate.
       The House language in section 6009 also addressed cost 
     allocations between the Secretary and the Secretary of the 
     Interior. The managers direct that any arrangements for 
     sharing of costs between the Secretaries be prospective only. 
     The mangers do not support any arrangement where the 
     Secretary of the Interior is credited with expenditures for 
     land acquisition toward the costs of modifying the water 
     delivery to the Park. These costs represent separate 
     responsibilities within the missions of the Department of the 
     Army and the Department of the Interior, and the costs of one 
     should not be used to offset the costs of the other.

                           ADDITIONAL MATTERS

       The managers request the Secretary make it a priority to 
     reimburse non-federal project sponsors for carrying out 
     federal projects in accordance with cooperative agreements. 
     These projects provide benefits to the federal taxpayer and 
     the Corps of Engineers should make every effort to reimburse 
     non-federal project sponsors the appropriate amount in a 
     timely manner. In one instance, Manatee County, Florida 
     carried out the Anna Maria Island beach re-nourishment under 
     a cooperative agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers for 
     construction of the Manatee County Shore Protection Project 
     in 2002. For Fiscal Year 2002, Congress appropriated $1 
     million for the project, and in Fiscal Year 2003, Congress 
     appropriated $3.5 million for the project. Yet, Manatee 
     County has received only $2.3 million in reimbursement from 
     the Army Corps of Engineers and is still owed over $1.7 
     million for work that was completed in 2002. Many local 
     communities and other non-federal project sponsors that 
     undertake federal projects put their financial security at 
     stake and timely reimbursement by the Corps of Engineers is 
     critical to their economic prosperity.
       The Corps recently determined that the stability of Wolf 
     Creek Dam is threatened by seepage under and around the dam, 
     increasing the risk of catastrophic failure. The managers 
     recognize that the Corps has cited an extreme concern for 
     safety and lowered the level of Lake Cumberland dramatically 
     to mitigate the risk of failure. The managers recognize that 
     the Nashville District of the Corps has recommended that this 
     project be classified as a dam safety project and therefore 
     subject to reimbursement rates in accordance with the Dam 
     Safety Act. Given the threat to safety as cited by the Corps 
     and the recommendation by the Corps district office, the 
     managers urge the administration to accept the recommendation 
     of the Corps to classify this project as dam safety, and to 
     finalize such a decision as soon as possible.
       The managers have increasingly heard concerns from Members 
     of Congress regarding the backlog in the processing of 
     permits under section 404 of the Clean Water Act. In 
     particular, the Jacksonville District of the Corps of 
     Engineers processes 1/8 of all the permits nationwide. The 
     managers direct the Chief of Engineers to examine the 
     permitting workload and consider alternatives for better 
     distribution of the workload. The managers also direct the 
     Chief of Engineers to work with States using current 
     authorities to minimize the time required for the Corps to 
     respond to permit applications.

                     COMPLIANCE WITH HOUSE RULE XXI

       Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House 
     of Representatives, the Committee on Transportation and 
     Infrastructure is required to include a list of congressional 
     earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits 
     (as defined in clause 9(d), 9(e), or 9(f) of rule XXI of the 
     Rules of the House of Representatives) in the Conference 
     Report. The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure 
     requires Members of Congress to comply with all requirements 
     of clause 9(d), 9(e), or 9(f) of rule XXI. The following 
     table provides the list of such provisions included in the 
     Conference Report:
