SEC. 114. DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Congress plays a central role in identifying, 
        prioritizing, and authorizing vital water resources 
        infrastructure activities throughout the United States.
          (2) The Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 
        (Public Law 113-121) established a new and transparent process 
        to review and prioritize the water resources development 
        activities of the Corps of Engineers with strong congressional 
        oversight.
          (3) Section 7001 of the Water Resources Reform and 
        Development Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 2282d) requires the 
        Secretary to develop and submit to Congress each year a Report 
        to Congress on Future Water Resources Development and, as part 
        of the annual report process, to--
                  (A) publish a notice in the Federal Register that 
                requests from non-Federal interests proposed 
                feasibility studies and proposed modifications to 
                authorized water resources development projects and 
                feasibility studies for inclusion in the report; and
                  (B) review the proposals submitted and include in the 
                report those proposed feasibility studies and proposed 
                modifications that meet the criteria for inclusion 
                established under such section 7001.
          (4) Congress will use the information provided in the annual 
        Report to Congress on Future Water Resources Development to 
        determine authorization needs and priorities for purposes of 
        water resources development legislation.
          (5) To ensure that Congress can gain a thorough understanding 
        of the water resources development needs and priorities of the 
        United States, it is important that the Secretary take 
        sufficient steps to ensure that non-Federal interests are made 
        aware of the new annual report process, including the need for 
        non-Federal interests to submit proposals during the 
        Secretary's annual request for proposals in order for such 
        proposals to be eligible for consideration by Congress.
  (b) Dissemination of Process Information.--The Secretary shall 
develop, support, and implement education and awareness efforts for 
non-Federal interests with respect to the annual Report to Congress on 
Future Water Resources Development required under section 7001 of the 
Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 2282d), 
including efforts to--
          (1) develop and disseminate technical assistance materials, 
        seminars, and guidance on the annual process as it relates to 
        non-Federal interests;
          (2) provide written notice to local elected officials and 
        previous and potential non-Federal interests on the annual 
        process and on opportunities to address local water resources 
        challenges through the missions and authorities of the Corps of 
        Engineers;
          (3) issue guidance for non-Federal interests to assist such 
        interests in developing proposals for water resources 
        development projects that satisfy the requirements of such 
        section 7001; and
          (4) provide, at the request of a non-Federal interest, 
        assistance with researching and identifying existing project

                         Purpose of Legislation

    H.R. 8 authorizes the United States Army Corps of Engineers 
(Corps) to carry out water resources development activities for 
the Nation, usually through cost-sharing partnerships with non-
federal sponsors. Activities include navigation, flood damage 
reduction, shoreline protection, hydropower, dam safety, water 
supply, recreation, environmental restoration and protection, 
and disaster response and recovery. H.R. 8 also reforms the 
Corps planning process, promotes timely project delivery, 
empowers non-Federal project sponsors, and strengthens 
congressional oversight.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    America enjoys an unparalleled network of natural harbors 
and rivers. The ports, channels, locks, dams, and other 
infrastructure that support our maritime and waterways 
transportation system and provide flood protection for our 
homes and businesses are vitally important to a healthy 
national economy and job growth. Ensuring a sound 
infrastructure network is a shared responsibility, with Federal 
and state roles recognized by our Founding Fathers. The Water 
Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2018 promotes the Federal 
commitment to our Nation's competitiveness, prosperity, and 
economic growth by maintaining a strong transportation 
infrastructure, ensuring the efficient flow of domestic and 
international commerce, and protecting the lives and 
livelihoods of the American people in a sustainable manner. 
Through WRDA, Congress authorizes the key missions of the 
Corps, including developing, maintaining, and supporting the 
Nation's economically vital waterway infrastructure and 
supporting effective and targeted flood protection and 
environmental restoration needs. WRDA also provides Congress 
the opportunity to make much needed policy reforms, strengthen 
oversight, promote efficient, effective, and transparent 
project development and implementation, and open the door to 
innovation and stronger partnerships that will improve 
infrastructure development. Water resources legislation should 
be enacted every two years to provide oversight of and policy 
direction to the Administration and the Corps.
    Since 2014, the Committee has resumed the regular 
consideration of Water Resources Development Acts no less than 
once a Congress. The Water Resources Development Act of 2018 
continues the WRDA 2-year cycle that provides appropriate 
oversight of and policy direction to the Administration and the 
Corps.
    The transformative nature of the last two WRDA bills has 
provided the Corps and the non-Federal sponsors with a 
tremendous number of new opportunities for advancing projects 
more quickly. The Committee has been concerned with the pace 
that the Corps has issued implementation guidance, and expects 
that now that the Corps has had time to work through the new 
authorities and processes set up in WRRDA 2014 and WRDA 2016, 
project delivery can begin to speed up. The Corps estimates 
that the current backlog of authorized projects studies is over 
$96 billion. The Committee expects that the provisions put 
forward in this bill, as well as the last two WRDA bills, will 
help reverse the trend seen over the years of the Corps and OMB 
finding new and creative ways to reject, disqualify, or 
otherwise stifle investment in worthwhile and beneficial water 
resources development projects, and instead, permit, encourage, 
and enable these projects to move forward.
    One of the creative ways to reject investment in beneficial 
water resources projects is the use of unrealistic benefit-cost 
analyses (BCAs) in the formulation, evaluation, and budgeting 
of water resources development projects. The Committee 
continues to be approached by members and non-Federal projects 
sponsors who have projects that are authorized but are being 
told no because the way the Administration has decided to 
calculate the BCA leaves them in the dark. Congress is clear, 
if a project is authorized, Congress believes it is worthy of 
funding.
    Because of the increasing frustration with BCAs across all 
Corps project areas, this bill contains a provision that 
requires the Corps to contract with the National Academy of 
Sciences to carry out a study on the Corps' use and application 
of their current BCAs and to recommend changes to improve 
transparency, cost savings, and the return on Federal 
investment. Corps water resources development projects have 
long time horizons reflective of their critical importance to 
maintaining the Nation's economic prosperity, national 
security, and environmental protection. This report should 
provide a more realistic look at what benefits should be 
included in BCA calculations to help inform a more reality-
based process. The Committee encourages the Corps to 
proactively work with non-Federal sponsors to transparently 
discuss the principles and analytical methodologies used in 
developing BCAs on these projects.
    In 1986, Congress enacted the Harbor Maintenance Tax to 
recover the operation and maintenance dredging costs for 
commercial ports from maritime shippers. The Harbor Maintenance 
Tax is directly levied on importers and domestic shippers using 
coastal or inland ports as a 0.125 percent ad valorem tax on 
the value of imported cargo (e.g., $1.25 per $1,000 value) and 
is typically passed along in the purchase of imported goods or 
services. These revenues are deposited into a HMTF within the 
U.S. Treasury from which Congress currently appropriates funds 
to the Corps for harbor maintenance dredging.
    The HMTF has historically collected far more revenues from 
shippers than Congress has appropriated to the Corps to 
maintain our harbors, with approximately $9 billion in already-
collected revenues sitting idle in the U.S. Treasury. As a 
result, shippers continue to honor their commitment to pay for 
promised maintenance activities, but the dredging needs of our 
Nation's ports go unmet. According to the Corps, full 
navigation channels at our Nation's busiest 59 ports are 
available less than 35 percent of the time--and the conditions 
of our midsize and emerging harbors are far worse. To be clear, 
there are sufficient funds in the Trust Fund to meet the 
maintenance dredging needs of all Federally authorized ports.
    This Committee took the initial steps to ensure that Harbor 
Maintenance taxes are fully utilized through enactment of 
discretionary appropriations targets from the Trust Fund in the 
Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (WRRDA). 
This provision established annually increasing targets for 
appropriations from the Trust Fund to be used for the 
operations and maintenance of our authorized commercial 
harbors. This provision also established the first mandatory 
set-aside for the nation's small (emerging) commercial harbors. 
The Committee is pleased these discretionary targets have been 
successfully reached in the initial years after enactment of 
WRRDA 2014, including 95% of HMTF revenues being spent in 
fiscal year 2018, but recognizes the challenge of reaching full 
allocation of annual HMTF collections while not also negatively 
affecting the other missions and responsibilities of the Corps.
    At the same time, even under the status quo of WRRDA 2014, 
there is an ever-growing balance in the Trust Fund that is not 
being used for its intended purpose. According to the 
Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the HMTF will collect $18.5 
billion in new revenues over the next decade--in addition to 
the approximately $9 billion in previously collected but 
unspent revenues in the HMTF. Yet, according to CBO, Federal 
appropriations from the HMTF over the next decade are only 
expected to total $14.3 billion, and would result in the 
balance of the HMTF doubling--reaching $17.2 billion in fiscal 
year 2026. Under this scenario, the maintenance needs of 
commercial ports will continue to go unmet, while the funding 
to fix them remains idle.
    Section 102 is intended to work in tandem with the existing 
discretionary appropriations targets of WRRDA 2014 by allowing, 
in fiscal year 2029, the Secretary to utilize the existing 
balances in the Trust Fund to meet the operation and 
maintenance needs of authorized commercial harbors. By 
specifically authorizing the commercial harbors where these 
funds could be used, as well as the authorized purposes of 
these funds, Congress has already established clear, statutory 
limits on expenditures from the Trust Fund. This authority 
simply provides a separate avenue for allowing the expenditure 
of these funds for their intended purposes, rather than the 
status quo, which allows these funds to be used to mask other 
expenditures of the Federal government and the true size of the 
Federal deficit.
    The Committee is cautiously positive about the new 
implementation of Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 
1899 (commonly called a `408 permission', since this law is 
codified in 33 U.S.C. Sec. 408). Non-Federal entities seeking 
to modify Federal water resources projects are often required 
to obtain a 408 permission from the Corps prior to initiating 
the modification; however, the Committee has previously 
addressed the issues with the way the Corps is implementing 
this provision. The changes the Corps has finally implemented 
in WRRDA 2014, and WRDA 2016, along with issuing a new 
engineering circular, should make the process of obtaining 408 
permissions faster. The Corps should ensure that necessary 
permissions under this authority are carried out in an 
expeditious and transparent manner, consistent with Federal 
law, and that Corps regulatory personnel are provided with 
sufficient Federal resources to carry out this authority.
    This bill contains several provisions related to crediting 
of work done by non-Federal sponsors. The Committee encourages 
the Corps to work proactively with non-Federal sponsors to 
educate them about the different crediting and reimbursement 
options available. Additionally, non-Federal sponsors are 
encouraged to fully understand what crediting options are 
available and to ensure they are complying with all 
requirements necessary to receive credit for work done. The 
Committee is concerned with the number of requests for credit 
from non-Federal sponsors for work performed that has not been 
performed in the same way the Corps would have executed the 
project.
    The Committee reemphasizes the need to engage with non-
Federal project sponsors and their associated representatives 
to coordinate and consult on implementation guidance. This bill 
directs the Corps to adopt an open process to gather input and 
initiate a dialogue with those non-Federal sponsors who have a 
stake in how programs and activities are carried out. Hosting 
one-way communications through Webinars and other non-
participatory forums jeopardizes the necessary modifications 
and adjustments to the Corps programs and activities that are 
authorized in WRDAs. The Corps should work to ensure all non-
Federal project sponsor and relevant stakeholders voices are 
heard and incorporate those considerations and Congressional 
intent into final implementation guidance.
    The Committee would encourage the Corps and the non-Federal 
sponsors to work together to utilize best and latest practices 
in the area of digital monitoring technology, when designing 
and building environmental infrastructure projects. Utilization 
of such technology for analysis, management and implementation 
of projects can result in the greatest cost effectiveness and 
savings of Federal dollars in the short run and cost savings 
over the long run for the grantee.
    The Committee has authorized a harmful algal bloom 
technology development demonstration at the Engineer Research 
and Development Center. The Committee expects that the 
Secretary will work with other Federal agencies who are 
conducting HABs research and ensure that they are not 
duplicating work being done by others. Additionally, the 
Committee hopes that the research for technology can look at 
technology that can be scaled to have the capability to remove 
harmful algal blooms on a large scale basis.
    The Committee encourages the Corps to expedite completion 
of a post-authorization change report for the Everglades 
Agricultural Area Reservoir component of the Central Everglades 
Planning Project, Florida. The Committee recognizes the 
importance of the Central Everglades Planning Project report 
for environmental restoration and flood control to the 
restoration of the Florida Everglades, and hopes to complete 
its final review of this project for Congressional 
authorization, at dollar amounts directed by the Secretary, 
once a favorable report of the Chief is completed.
    The Committee understands that WRDA 2000 established a 
review process for the programmatic regulations initially 
promulgated to guide the implementation of the Comprehensive 
Everglades Restoration Plan. The Committee is concerned that a 
review of these regulations has not been conducted since 2009, 
and directs the Secretary to undertake such a review.
    In WRDA 2016, the Committee instructed the Secretary to 
provide assistance to displaced tribes along the Columbia River 
as a result of the construction of the lower Columbia River 
Dams. The Committee is concerned that OMB is not taking 
seriously the treaty obligations to provide assistance and 
would encourage the government to work towards a solution for 
these tribes in an expeditious manner. As much as is possible, 
if the determination is made that additional housing is 
warranted, the purchase of private land shall be avoided, and 
housing shall be provided using current Federal or tribal 
reservation land.
    Included in this legislation is authorization of the Lower 
San Joaquin River flood damage reduction project and expediting 
the second phase of the study to determine the feasibility of 
constructing a project to protect the Cities of Lathrop, 
Manteca and Stockton, and unincorporated San Joaquin County, 
also known as ``Reclamation District 17'' (RD17). The Committee 
is aware of discussions between the non-Federal project 
sponsors and the Corps regarding the application of Executive 
Order 11988 for this second phase study. As RD17 is not in the 
100-year floodplain, EO 11988 should not apply, and should not 
be a barrier to evaluating Federal interest in the basin. The 
Committee has the expectation that priority will be provided to 
analyze alternatives proposed by the non-Federal project 
sponsor.

                    Duplication of Federal Programs

    Pursuant to section 3(g) of H. Res. 5, 114th Cong. (2015), 
the Committee finds that no provision of H.R. 8, as amended, 
establishes or reauthorizes a program of the Federal government 
known to be duplicative of another Federal program, a program 
that was included in any report from the Government 
Accountability Office to Congress pursuant to section 21 of 
Public Law 111-139, or a program related to a program 
identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance.

                   Disclosure of Directed Rulemakings

    Pursuant to section 3(i) of H. Res. 5, 114th Cong. (2015),

requires the report of any Committee on a bill or joint 
resolution to include a statement on the extent to which the 
bill or joint resolution is intended to preempt state, local, 
or tribal law. The Committee states that H.R. 8, as reported, 
does not preempt any state, local, or tribal law.

                      Advisory Committee Statement

    No advisory committees within the meaning of section 5(b) 
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act are created by this 
legislation.

                Applicability to the Legislative Branch

    The Committee finds that the legislation does not relate to 
the terms and conditions of employment or access to public

instead of after Administration review. Additionally, this 
section allows the Secretary of the Army-Civil Works to accept 
and expend funds provided by a non-Federal interest to conduct 
activities that are inherently governmental functions. 
Currently, when carrying out a study under section 203 
authority, the Assistant Secretary of the Army may not have the 
opportunity to review or participate in a proposed study until 
late in the process.

Section 123. Construction of water resources development projects by 
        non-Federal interests

    This section accelerates project delivery by allowing 
credit or reimbursement for certain segments of water resources 
development projects. Additionally, this section amends section 
204 of WRDA 1986 to allow a non-Federal interest to advance 
projects more expeditiously through the use of a written 
agreement with the Corps. The Committee intends that any action 
taken by the non-Federal interest shall be carried out pursuant 
to all applicable requirements existing in law.

Section 124. Advanced funds for water resources development studies and 
        projects

    This section helps move projects into construction by 
expanding the Corps' authority to accept advanced funds from 
non-Federal interests for water resources development projects. 
Subsection (b) provides that the use of any statutory provision 
that allows a non-Federal interest to provide, advance, or 
contribute funds to the Secretary for the development or 
implementation of a water resources development project does 
not adversely affect the timeline or budgeting processes for 
other projects that do not use such authorities. Accordingly, 
the Corps should treat projects that proceed through regular 
appropriations and statutory cost-share the same as projects 
that may utilize advanced or contributed funds.

Section 125. Funding to process permits

    This section amends Section 214 of the Water Resources 
Development Act of 2000 to extend through 2026 the authority 
for public-utility companies, natural gas companies, or 
railroad carriers to contribute funds to the Corps to expedite 
the evaluation of a permit, under the jurisdiction of the 
Department of the Army, related to a project or activity for 
public purpose.

Section 126. Study on economic and budgetary analyses

    This section directs the Corps to contract with the 
National Academy of Sciences to review and make recommendations 
on improving the Corps' economic principles and analytical 
methodologies when evaluating the budgeting for water resources 
development projects.

Section 127. Study of corrosion management at Corps of Engineers 
        projects

    This section directs the Corps to report to Congress on 
activities relating to the use of innovative materials in water 
resources development projects.

Section 130. Study on Corps of engineers

    This section directs the Comptroller General to study the 
capacity and preparedness of the Corps workforce, and the 
technologies used by the Corps to accomplish its missions and 
responsibilities.

Section 131. GAO study

    This section directs the Comptroller General to study the 
Corps' use of natural features and nature-based features in the 
study of feasibility projects for flood risk management, 
hurricane and storm damage reduction, and ecosystem 
restoration.

Section 132. GAO reports on Alaska Native village relocation efforts 
        due to flooding and erosion threats.

    This section directs the Comptroller to study and update 
previous reports related to efforts to relocate Alaska Native 
villages due to flooding and erosion threats.

Section 133. Study and report on expediting certain waiver processes

    This section directs the Corps to furnish a report to 
Congress on how to improve and implement the waiver process for

                                protected areas; and

                SECTION 5 OF THE ACT OF AUGUST 18, 1941

  Sec. 5. (a)(1) That there is authorized an emergency fund to 
be expended in preparation for emergency response to any 
natural disaster, in flood fighting and rescue operations, or 
in the repair or restoration of any flood control work 
threatened or destroyed by flood, including the [strengthening, 
raising, extending, or other modification thereof] 
strengthening, raising, extending, realigning, or other 
modification thereof as may be necessary in the discretion of 
the Chief of Engineers for the adequate functioning of the work 
for flood control and subject to the condition that the Chief 
of Engineers may include modifications to the structure or 
project, or in implementation of nonstructural alternatives to 
the repair or restoration of such flood control work if 
requested by the non-Federal sponsor; in the emergency 
protection of federally authorized hurricane or shore 
protection being threatened when in the discretion of the Chief 
of Engineers such protection is warranted to protect against 
imminent and substantial loss to life and property; in the 
repair and restoration of any federally authorized hurricane or 
shore protective [structure or project damaged or destroyed by 
wind, wave, or water action of other than an ordinary nature to 
the design level of protection when, in the discretion of the 
Chief of Engineers,] structure or project damaged or destroyed 
by wind, wave, or water action of other than an ordinary nature 
to either the pre-storm level or the design level of 
protection, whichever provides greater protection, when, in the 
discretion of the Chief of Engineers, such repair and 
restoration is warranted for the adequate functioning of the 
structure or project for hurricane or shore protection, subject 
to the condition that the Chief of Engineers may include 
modifications to the structure or project to address major 
deficiencies or implement nonstructural alternatives to the 
repair or restoration of the structure if requested by the non-
Federal sponsor. The emergency fund may also be expended for 
emergency dredging for restoration of authorized project depths 
for Federal navigable channels and waterways made necessary by 
flood, drought, earthquake, or other natural disasters. In any 
case in which the Chief of Engineers is otherwise performing 
work under this section in an area for which the Governor of 
the affected State has requested a determination that an 
emergency exists or a declaration that a major disaster exists 
under the Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, the 
Chief of Engineers is further authorized to perform on public 
and private lands and waters for a period of ten days following 
the Governor's request any emergency work made necessary by 
such emergency or disaster which is essential for the 
preservation of life and property, including, but not limited 
to, channel clearance, emergency shore protection, clearance 
and removal of debris and wreckage endangering public health 
and safety, and temporary restoration of essential public 
facilities and services. The Chief of Engineers, in the 
exercise of his discretion, is further authorized to provide 
emergency supplies of clean water, on such terms as he 
determines to be advisable, to any locality which he finds is 
confronted with a source of contaminated water causing or 
likely to cause a substantial threat to the public health and 
welfare of the inhabitants of the locality. The appropriation 
of such moneys for the initial establishment of this fund and 
for its replenishment on an annual basis, is authorized: 
Provided, That pending the appropriation of sums to such 
emergency fund, the Secretary of the Army may allot, from 
existing flood-control appropriations, such sums as may be 
necessary for the immediate prosecution of the work herein 
authorized, such appropriations to be reimbursed from the 
appropriation herein authorized when made. The Chief of 
Engineers is authorized, in the prosecution of work in 
connection with rescue operations, or in conducting other flood 
emergency work, to acquire on a rental basis such motor 
vehicles, including passenger cars and buses, as in his 
discretion are deemed necessary.
  (2) In preparing a cost and benefit feasibility assessment 
for any emergency project described in paragraph (1), the Chief 
of Engineers shall consider the benefits to be gained by such 
project for the protection of--
          (A) residential establishments;
          (B) commercial establishments, including the 
        protection of inventory; and
          (C) agricultural establishments, including the 
        protection of crops.
          (3) Nonstructural alternatives defined.--In this 
        subsection, the term ``nonstructural alternatives'' 
        includes efforts to restore or protect natural 
        resources, including streams, rivers, floodplains, 
        wetlands, or coasts, if those efforts will reduce flood 
        risk.
  (b)(1) The Secretary, upon a written request for assistance 
under this paragraph made by any farmer, rancher, or political 
subdivision within a distressed area, and after a determination 
by the Secretary that (A) as a result of the drought such 
farmer, rancher, or political subdivision has an inadequate 
supply of water, (B) an adequate supply of water can be made 
available to such farmer, rancher, or political subdivision 
through the construction of a well, and (C) as a result of the 
drought such well could not be constructed by a private 
business, the Secretary, subject to paragraph (3) of this 
subsection, may enter into an agreement with such farmer, 
rancher, or political subdivision for the construction of such 
well.
  (2) The Secretary, upon a written request for assistance 
under this paragraph made by any farmer, rancher, or political 
subdivision within a distressed area, and after a determination 
by the Secretary that as a result of the drought such farmer, 
rancher, or political subdivision has an inadequate supply of 
water and water cannot be obtained by such farmer, rancher, or 
political subdivision, the Secretary may transport water to 
such farmer, rancher, or political subdivision by methods which 
include, but are not limited to, small-diameter emergency water 
lines and tank trucks, until such time as the Secretary 
determines that an adequate supply of water is available to 
such farmer, rancher, or political subdivision.
  (3)(A) Any agreement entered into by the Secretary pursuant 
to paragraph (1) of this subsection shall require the farmer, 
rancher, or political subdivision for whom the well is 
constructed to pay to the United States the reasonable cost of 
such construction, with interest, over such number of years, 
not to exceed thirty, as the Secretary deems appropriate. The 
rate of interest shall be that rate which the Secretary 
determines would apply if the amount to be repaid was a loan 
made pursuant to section 7(b)(2) of the Small Business Act.
  (B) The Secretary shall not construct any well pursuant to 
this subsection unless the farmer, rancher, or political 
subdivision for whom the well is being constructed has 
obtained, prior to construction, all necessary State and local 
permits.
  (4) The Federal share for the transportation of water 
pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection shall be 100 per 
centum.

        welfare of the inhabitants of the area including threat 
        of damage or loss of property;
          (C) the term ``political subdivision'' means a city, 
        town, borough, county, parish, district, association, 
        or other public body created by or pursuant to State 
        law and having jurisdiction over the water supply of 
        such public body;
          (D) the term ``reasonable cost'' means the lesser of 
        (i) the cost to the Secretary of constructing a well 
        pursuant to this subsection exclusive of the cost of 
        transporting equipment used in the construction of 
        wells, or (ii) the cost to a private business of 
        constructing such well;
          (E) the term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of the

        of Engineers requires of a non-Federal interest in 
        order for the non-Federal interest to receive Federal 
        assistance under this section. The Secretary shall 
        provide a copy of the manual at no cost to each non-
        Federal interest that is eligible to receive Federal 
        assistance under this section.
          (2) Authorization of appropriations.--There is

                          (i) means the repair or rebuilding of 
                        a levee or other flood control 
                        structure, after the structure has been 
                        damaged by a flood, to the level of 
                        protection provided by the structure 
                        before the flood; but
                          (ii) does not include--
                                  (I) any improvement to the

          (2) the non-Federal sponsor agrees to pay the 
        difference between the cost of repair or restoration to 
        the original design level or original capacity and the 
        cost of achieving the higher level of protection or 
        capacity sought by the non-Federal sponsor.
  (e) Notice.--The Secretary shall notify and consult with the 
non-Federal sponsor regarding the opportunity to request 
implementation of nonstructural alternatives to the repair or 
restoration of a flood control work under subsection (a).

              SECTION 221 OF THE FLOOD CONTROL ACT OF 1970

SEC. 221. WRITTEN AGREEMENT REQUIREMENT FOR WATER RESOURCES PROJECTS.

  (a) Cooperation of Non-Federal Interest.--
          (1) In general.--After December 31, 1970, the 
        construction of any water resources project, or an 
        acceptable separable element thereof, by the Secretary 
        of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, or 
        by a non-Federal interest where such interest will be 
        reimbursed for such construction under any provision of 
        law, shall not be commenced until each non-Federal 
        interest has entered into a written partnership 
        agreement with the Secretary (or, where appropriate, 
        the district engineer for the district in which the 
        project will be carried out) under which each party 
        agrees to carry out its responsibilities and 
        requirements for implementation or construction of the 
        project or the appropriate element of the project, as 
        the case may be; except that no such agreement shall be 
        required if the Secretary determines that the 
        administrative costs associated with negotiating, 
        executing, or administering the agreement would exceed 
        the amount of the contribution required from the non-
        Federal interest and are less than $25,000.
          (2) Liquidated damages.--A partnership agreement 
        described in paragraph (1) may include a provision for 
        liquidated damages in the event of a failure of one or 
        more parties to perform.
          (3) Obligation of future appropriations.--In any 
        partnership agreement described in paragraph (1) and 
        entered into by a State, or a body politic of the State 
        which derives its powers from the State constitution, 
        or a governmental 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.
          (4) Credit for in-kind contributions.--
                  (A) In general.--A partnership agreement 
                described in paragraph (1) may provide with 
                respect to a project that the Secretary shall 
                credit toward the non-Federal share of the cost 
                of the project, including a project implemented 
                without specific authorization in law or a 
                project under an environmental infrastructure 
                assistance program, the value of in-kind 
                contributions made by the non-Federal interest, 
                including--
                          (i) the costs of planning (including 
                        data collection), design, management, 
                        mitigation, construction, and 
                        construction services that are provided 
                        by the non-Federal interest for 
                        implementation of the project;
                          (ii) the value of materials or 
                        services provided before execution of 
                        the partnership agreement, including 
                        efforts on constructed elements 
                        incorporated into the project; and
                          (iii) the value of materials and 
                        services provided after execution of 
                        the partnership agreement.
                  (B) Condition.--The Secretary may credit an 
                in-kind contribution under subparagraph (A) 
                only if the Secretary determines that the 
                material or service provided as an in-kind 
                contribution is integral to the project.
                  (C) Work performed before partnership 
                agreement.--
                          (i) Construction.--

                                Federal interest initiating 
                                construction or issuing a 
                                written notice to proceed for 
                                the construction.

                                even if the design activity is 
                                carried out prior to the 
                                execution of the agreement to

                        interest, which shall be in addition to 
                        a partnership agreement under

                authorized under this section.
