       ``(t) Projects in Flood-prone Areas.--For projects and 
     actions that, in whole or in part, encroach within the limits 
     of a flood-prone area, the Secretary shall ensure that such 
     projects and actions are--
       ``(1) designed and constructed in a way that takes into 
     account, and mitigates where appropriate, flood risk by using 
     hydrologic, hydraulic, and hydrodynamic data, methods, and 
     analysis that integrate current and projected changes in 
     flooding based on scientific forecasts over the anticipated 
     service life of the asset and future forecasted land use 
     changes; and
       ``(2) designed using analysis that considers the capital 
     costs, risks, and other economic, engineering, social and 
     environmental concerns of constructing a project in a flood-
     prone area.''.
