                         Purpose of Legislation

    The purpose of H.R. 8812, the Water Resources Development 
Act (WRDA) of 2024, as amended, is to authorize the United 
States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to carry out vital water 
resources development activities across the Nation,\1\ 
typically through cost-shared partnerships with a non-Federal 
interest. These activities encompass a wide range of projects 
and studies aimed at addressing river and coastal navigation, 
reducing flood and hurricane storm damage risks, protecting 
shorelines, ensuring water supply, restoring and protecting 
ecosystems and the environment, enhancing recreation, 
supporting hydropower, and facilitating disaster response and 
recovery.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    H.R. 8812, as amended, focuses on delivering projects 
efficiently and effectively. It improves the Corps' project 
delivery process by empowering the non-Federal interest and the 
Corps to expedite the completion of important projects. H.R. 
8812 authorizes new projects and modifies existing water 
resources development project and study authorities to meet 
local infrastructure demands, ensuring that the Nation's water 
resources infrastructure can address contemporary challenges 
and support community resilience and economic growth.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    WRDA 2024, as amended, builds on a long-standing commitment 
to address the Nation's water resources challenges, primarily 
through the efforts of the Corps. WRDA 2024 aims to enhance the 
Corps' ability to deliver critical water infrastructure 
projects efficiently, meeting the diverse needs of river and 
coastal navigation, flood and hurricane storm damage reduction, 
shoreline protection, water supply, ecosystem restoration, 
recreation, hydropower, and disaster response and recovery. The 
need for WRDA 2024 arises from several key factors:
          1. Aging Infrastructure: Many of the Nation's water 
        resources infrastructure projects are decades old and 
        require significant upgrades or replacements to meet 
        current and future demands.\2\ Modernizing these 
        projects is essential to ensure safety, reliability, 
        and efficiency.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          2. Economic Competitiveness: Efficient water 
        transportation systems are vital for the Nation's 
        economic competitiveness.\3\ Enhancing river and 
        coastal navigation through infrastructure improvements 
        ensures the smooth movement of goods and supports 
        economic growth.

          3. Extreme Weather Events: The increasing frequency 
        and intensity of extreme weather events, such as 
        hurricanes, floods, and droughts, underscores the need 
        for robust water resources infrastructure.\4\ WRDA 2024 
        provides the Corps with the authority to undertake 
        projects that enhance community and infrastructure 
        resilience to these events.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          4. Environmental Restoration and Protection: There is 
        a growing recognition of the importance of restoring 
        and protecting ecosystems that provide critical 
        services such as flood control, water filtration, and 
        wildlife habitat. Healthy ecosystems support industries 
        like tourism, fishing, and agriculture, offering 
        significant economic benefits.\5\ Additionally, natural 
        infrastructure solutions can be cost-effective 
        alternatives to traditional methods, reducing project 
        costs and maintenance.\6\ WRDA 2024 includes provisions 
        to support the Corps' efforts in ecosystem restoration, 
        mitigation, and protection, leveraging these economic 
        advantages to enhance community resilience and promote 
        economic vitality.

          5. Collaboration with the Non-Federal Interest: WRDA 
        2024 emphasizes the importance of collaboration between 
        the Corps and the non-Federal interest, other non-
        Federal entities, including state and local 
        governments, to leverage resources and expertise and to 
        ensure early and engaged collaboration with affected 
        stakeholders. This approach helps ensure that projects 
        meet local needs, gain local support, and maximize the 
        benefits of Federal investments.
          6. Project Delivery Efficiency: One of the central 
        focuses of WRDA 2024 is to improve the project delivery 
        process. By simplifying procedures, reducing 
        unnecessary hurdles, and empowering the non-Federal 
        interest, the legislation aims to expedite the 
        completion of vital water resources projects.
    Enactment of WRDA 2024 is crucial for addressing these 
challenges and ensuring that the Nation's water resources 
infrastructure can meet the demands of the 21st Century. This 
legislation provides the necessary authority and direction to 
the Corps to carry out its mission effectively and efficiently, 
thereby safeguarding communities, enhancing economic 
productivity, and protecting valuable environmental resources.

WRDA 2024 Delivers Water Resource Projects

    Using the established framework to carry out water resource 
infrastructure projects by the Corps, infrastructure projects 
are being delivered through established processes in WRDA 2024. 
This includes projects focused on navigation, flood control, 
ecosystem restoration, and other related areas. The process 
involves several key steps:
          1. Identifying Needs and Opportunities: The process 
        begins with the identification of water resources needs 
        and opportunities at the local, regional, and national 
        levels. This can be initiated by the non-Federal 
        interest, such as state and local governments, Tribal 
        entities, and other stakeholders, who recognize 
        specific challenges or opportunities in their areas. 
        Many of these projects are included in an annual report 
        issued by the Corps known as the ``7001 Report'' based 
        on a process established by section 7001 of the Water 
        Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (WRRDA 
        2014).\7\

(last accessed July 9, 2024), available at https://www.usace.army.mil/
Missions/Civil-Works/Project-Planning/WRRDA-7001-Proposals/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          2. Feasibility Studies: Once a need or opportunity is 
        identified, a request can be made by a Member of 
        Congress to authorize a new feasibility study. Section 
        201 of WRDA 2024 authorizes the Secretary to carry out 
        more than 150 new feasibility studies. These studies 
        can be started after they receive appropriations.
          3. Chief's Report: Following the completion of a 
        feasibility study, the Corps submits to Congress a 
        Report of the Chief of Engineers, more commonly 
        referred to as a Chief's Report, documenting the 
        findings and recommendations for a proposed water 
        resources project.\8\ This report serves as a key 
        milestone in the project authorization process, 
        providing the necessary information for Congressional 
        authorization and funding. In addition to Chief's 
        Reports, the Chief of Engineers prepares a Director's 
        Report when a water resources project is modified or 
        exceeds the existing project authorization.\9\ Section 
        401 of WRDA 2024 authorizes the construction of 12 
        pending Chief's Reports or Director's Reports that have 
        been submitted to Congress since the enactment of WRDA 
        2022. Construction of these projects can begin after 
        they receive appropriations.

Delivering Environmental Infrastructure Projects through WRDA 2024

    In addition to the study and construction authority of 
traditional water resources projects, the Corps has the 
authority to provide design and construction assistance for 
infrastructure in specified municipalities, counties, and 
states through the Environmental Infrastructure program. 
Projects within this program include water distribution works, 
stormwater management, surface water protection, and 
environmental restoration.\10\ Section 340 of WRDA 2024 
authorizes 166 new environmental infrastructure authorities and 
authorizes modifications to several existing environmental 
infrastructure authorities.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delivering Small Projects through WRDA 2024

    WRDA 2024, as amended, enhances the delivery of small 
projects, defined as those with a Federal commitment of less 
than $15 million, by implementing significant changes to the 
Continuing Authorities Programs (CAP).\11\ These modifications 
aim to optimize project delivery and reduce unnecessary 
hurdles. Key changes include:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \11\Section 7001(c)(1)(D) of Water Resources Reform and Development 
Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 2282d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          1. Delegated Decision-Making Authority: WRDA 2024 
        delegates decision making authority for CAP to the 
        District level, which expedites project delivery and 
        empowers the staff at the District level who have a 
        better understanding of the specific needs and 
        conditions of their regions. This localized decision-
        making process reduces the need for extensive reviews 
        and approvals from higher levels, which can add delays 
        and increase administrative costs. This streamlined 
        approach ensures that funds are allocated more directly 
        to project execution rather than administrative 
        overhead, resulting in more efficient use of resources 
        and quicker project completion.
          2. Automatic Conversion to Feasibility Study: WRDA 
        2024 allows projects initiated under CAPs that exceed 
        the per-project authority limit to be automatically 
        converted into feasibility studies if the excess is 
        less than twice the authority threshold. This minimizes 
        project starts and stops, reducing costs and 
        maintaining momentum in project development. 
        Previously, exceeding the authorized threshold could 
        lead to significant delays as projects waited for 
        Congressional authorization to become a new feasibility 
        study. By allowing an automatic conversion to a 
        feasibility study, the process becomes smoother and 
        more predictable, preventing costly halts and 
        increasing project delivery for communities, all while 
        maintaining Congress' oversight role for significant 
        Corps' projects.
          3. Increased Per-Project and Annual Program Limits: 
        The per-project authorization limit on six of the nine 
        CAPs has been increased in WRDA 2024, along with four 
        of the nine annual program authorization limits. 
        Increasing these limits acknowledges the impact of 
        inflation on infrastructure projects. Notably, the 
        limits for Small Flood Control Projects (33 U.S.C. 
        701s) and Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration (33 U.S.C. 
        2330) programs have been raised slightly higher than 
        others as these types of CAP projects are more 
        frequently pursued by the non-Federal interest. These 
        changes ensure that critical projects receive adequate 
        funding from the start, reducing the need for piecemeal 
        approaches and enabling more robust, long-term 
        solutions.
          4. Inclusion of Stormwater: Stormwater management has 
        been incorporated into the Small Flood Control Projects 
        (33 U.S.C. 701s) program, emphasizing the growing 
        demand for addressing stormwater issues in communities. 
        This inclusion recognizes the increasing challenges 
        posed by larger and stronger storms, which cause severe 
        flooding and associated damage in urban and rural areas 
        alike. WRDA 2024 authorizes the Corps to be more 
        flexible and responsive to stormwater management, while 
        also making it easier for communities to qualify for 
        and receive Federal assistance. This change highlights 
        the program's adaptability to local needs and its 
        commitment to proactive flood risk management, which is 
        crucial for protecting lives, property, and the 
        environment in the face of changing climate patterns 
        and urban development pressures.
          5. Resiliency: WRDA 2024 augments the Corps' 
        authority to address infrastructure resilience to 
        increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather 
        events, such as increased precipitation and droughts. 
        WRDA 2024 amends the Small Flood Control Projects (33 
        U.S.C. 701s) program to direct the Secretary, where 
        appropriate, to include features for the reclamation, 
        treatment, and reuse of flood and stormwater associated 
        with projects to further enhance the resiliency of 
        communities. Similarly, this legislation amends the 
        authority for Project Modifications for Improvement of 
        the Environment (33 U.S.C. 2309a) to authorize the 
        Secretary to modify existing Corps' projects to enhance 
        drought resiliency. Under this modified authority, the 
        Secretary would be authorized to carry out 
        modifications to existing water resources development 
        projects, such as enhanced water conservation measures, 
        removal of excess sediment, the planting of native 
        vegetation, and other actions to increase drought 
        resilience, water conservation, and water availability.
          6. Community Revitalization Program: The Community 
        Revitalization Program (enacted as Section 165(a) of 
        WRDA 2020) has been made permanent, ensuring long-term 
        support for community-led efforts to revitalize and 
        enhance local infrastructure. This stability provides 
        support for projects that address critical needs, 
        promote sustainable development, and improve overall 
        community well-being. Increasing the number of projects 
        that can be carried out through this program provides 
        all communities across the Nation with greater access 
        to Corps expertise in addressing local water resources 
        challenges, enabling communities of all economic means 
        to undertake vital projects that might otherwise be 
        unaffordable. Such investments lead to improved local 
        economies, enhanced quality of life, and greater 
        resilience to future challenges.
          7. Alternative Delivery CAP Pilot: Subsection 101(a) 
        creates a new, alternative delivery office within the 
        Corps, and directs that office to implement a pilot 
        program carrying out projects using alternative 
        delivery. This new CAP delivery process focuses on 
        accelerating the delivery of projects through use of 
        methods, such as progressive design-build and 
        construction manager at risk approaches to project 
        delivery. The alternative delivery office is tasked 
        with working with the non-Federal interest to identify 
        and implement strategies that reduce project timelines, 
        cut costs, and improve overall project outcomes, with a 
        goal of enhancing project efficiency and effectiveness.
    These changes demonstrate a commitment to delivering small 
projects more effectively and efficiently, addressing key areas 
of need while minimizing administrative burdens and costs.

Delivering Projects by Connecting Communities with the Corps in WRDA 
        2024

    Section 102 of WRDA 2024, as amended, establishes a new 
program designed to assist communities in identifying the 
Federal program through the Corps that best suits their needs 
and guiding them through the various stages or requirements. 
The Committee recognizes disparities among Corps Districts in 
their community engagement capabilities. This program aims to 
level the playing field, ensuring equal access for all 
communities, regardless of their respective Corps District.
    Similarly, Section 106 of WRDA 2024 introduces reforms to 
enhance consistency and efficiency within the Corps by creating 
a centralized office tasked with reviewing requests for 
permission to modify existing water resources development 
projects under Section 408.\12\ This office will provide non-
Federal entities with clear, consistent, and timely 
recommendations, ensuring uniformity across Corps Districts by 
moving these reviews from Corps Districts to a centralized 
office. Non-Federal entities may request pre-application 
meetings through this office to clarify technical requirements, 
determine optimal design package submissions, and address 
potential concerns or conflicts with proposed actions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \12\33 U.S.C. 408.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delivering Projects with non-Federal Interests through WRDA 2024

    In addition to establishing the new alternative delivery 
CAP, Sections 104 and 105 of WRDA 2024, as amended, amend 
Sections 203 and 204 of WRDA 1986, respectively, to clarify and 
enhance the responsibilities of non-Federal interests in 
conducting studies and construction activities for authorized 
projects. These amendments provide clear guidelines and 
expectations, ensuring efficient processes and effective 
project oversight.
    Section 327 of WRDA 2024, as amended, includes specific 
schedules for a specific project being pursued under Section 
203 of WRDA 1986. These are designed to facilitate timely 
project execution, ensuring that studies progress efficiently 
and conclusions are reached within reasonable timeframes.

Delivering Projects more Efficiently through Policy in WRDA 2024

    WRDA 2024 marks a pivotal advancement in infrastructure 
development policy, introducing strategic reforms aimed at 
enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in project delivery 
across the Nation. Through targeted policy changes, this 
legislation empowers the Corps to better manage processes, 
optimize resource allocation, and foster greater collaboration 
with non-Federal entities. These not only prioritize timely 
project completion but also ensure that taxpayer dollars are 
invested judiciously, supporting sustainable infrastructure 
solutions that meet the evolving needs of communities 
nationwide.
          1. Minimum Real Estate Interest: In response to 
        concerns received by the Committee regarding the 
        appropriate use of real estate interests by the Corps 
        for project purposes, Section 103 of WRDA 2024 modifies 
        the requirements for minimum real estate interests. The 
        Committee recognizes that in some instances, the Corps 
        has utilized higher levels of real estate instruments 
        than necessary for project objectives, thereby 
        increasing project costs and administrative burdens. 
        WRDA 2024 mandates a recalibration of minimum real 
        estate interests, ensuring that the Corps utilizes 
        instruments that are more proportionate to project 
        needs, rather than defaulting to fee simple ownership. 
        This adjustment aims to optimize project efficiency and 
        cost-effectiveness by requiring the use of lesser 
        interests when feasible and appropriate. The intent 
        behind this change is to align the Corps' real estate 
        practices more closely with project requirements, 
        promoting the use of alternatives that provide 
        sufficient control and access while minimizing 
        unnecessary acquisition costs and administrative 
        complexities.
          2. Electronic Submission and Tracking of Permit 
        Applications: Building upon Section 2040 of WRDA 2007 
        (33 U.S.C. 2345(a)), Section 107 of WRDA 2024 enhances 
        the Corps' ongoing efforts to implement electronic 
        submission and tracking systems for permit applications 
        by directing the Corps to include environmental 
        documentation on its exiting online portal. By 
        leveraging existing frameworks, USACE will streamline 
        communication, accelerate decision-making processes, 
        and improve transparency for non-Federal interests.
          3. Vertical Integration: Section 108 of WRDA 2024 
        adjusts the Federal authority limit for feasibility 
        studies to accommodate projects with anticipated 
        construction costs exceeding $500 million. This 
        adjustment addresses inflationary pressures and ensures 
        that large projects receive adequate resources from the 
        onset, during the feasibility phase. By increasing 
        financial support for these complex initiatives early 
        in the planning process, WRDA 2024 promotes thorough 
        project assessment, informed decision-making, and 
        efficient resource allocation. This strategic 
        adjustment underscores the Committee's commitment to 
        prudent infrastructure investment, facilitating 
        comprehensive evaluations that assess project viability 
        and benefits for communities and the Nation. This 
        section also provides the Corps with additional 
        flexibility by excluding reconnaissance-level, Federal-
        interest-determination work from existing deadlines.
          4. Systemwide Improvement Framework and 
        Encroachments: Section 109 of WRDA 2024 establishes a 
        Systemwide Improvement Plan to assist non-Federal 
        entities in achieving compliance with the P.L. 84-99 
        program by requiring that the Corps work with non-
        Federal interests to develop comprehensive compliance 
        plans.
          5. Third Party Mitigation: Section 110 of WRDA 2024 
        amends Section 906 of WRDA 1986 to clarify existing 
        mitigation authorities and enhance the Corps' ability 
        to utilize third-party mitigation to fulfill project 
        mitigation requirements. Additionally, requires that 
        the Corps provide transparency on project mitigation to 
        assist oversight of project implementation as well as 
        assist potential third-party mitigation providers in 
        planning and preparing appropriate solutions. These 
        changes aim to enhance mitigation outcomes, foster 
        collaboration with third-party providers, and ensure 
        timely and adequate environmental stewardship for Corps 
        projects.

Modernizing Corps Authorities to Address Current Water Resources 
        Challenges in WRDA 2024

    The Committee recognizes the need for the Corps to 
collaborate with non-Federal entities. WRDA 2024 makes several 
changes to existing authorities requiring the Corps to partner 
with non-Federal entities to address current water resources 
challenges facing local communities.
          1. Economic, Hydraulic, and Hydrologic Model: Section 
        118 of WRDA 2024, as amended, encourages the Corps to 
        collaborate with non-Federal entities when developing 
        economic, hydraulic, and hydrologic models. By 
        leveraging the expertise and resources of these 
        entities, the Corps can augment accuracy, efficiency, 
        and innovation in project development. This 
        collaborative approach aims to integrate diverse 
        perspectives and specialized knowledge, advancing the 
        Corps' ability to plan, design, and implement effective 
        infrastructure projects that meet the Nation's water 
        resources needs.
          2. Water Supply Mission: The Committee recognizes the 
        critical importance of water supply to the nation's 
        health, economy, and security. Accordingly, Section 121 
        of WRDA 2024, as amended, recognizes water supply as a 
        primary mission of the Corps, aligning water supply 
        with the existing primary missions of flood control 
        (risk reduction), navigation, and ecosystem 
        restoration. This designation underscores the necessity 
        of prioritizing and funding water supply projects and 
        initiatives, ensuring that the Corps is fully empowered 
        and directed to address the Nation's water resource 
        needs with the highest level of commitment and 
        expertise.
          3. Low-Head Dam Inventory: Section 128 of WRDA 2024, 
        as amended, amends Section 6 of the National Dam Safety 
        Program Act (33 U.S.C. 467d) to incorporate low-head 
        dams into the National Inventory of Dams (NID). The 
        intent of this amendment is to ensure that there is a 
        single, comprehensive database that includes all dams 
        currently in the NID, as well as low-head dams. This 
        unified database will improve the ability to monitor, 
        manage, and ensure the safety of all dam structures 
        Nationwide, providing a more complete and accurate 
        resource for stakeholders involved in dam safety and 
        management.

Delivering Projects to More Communities through WRDA 2024

    The Committee recognizes the critical importance of 
delivering water resources projects to all communities, 
ensuring access to the benefits these projects provide. To this 
end, Section 131 of WRDA 2024, as amended, amends the ability-
to-pay provisions of Section 103 of WRDA 1986, establishing new 
criteria for the Secretary of the Army to evaluate the cost-
sharing capacity of communities. These criteria aim to ensure 
that project cost-sharing requirements are appropriately scaled 
to the financial capabilities of the benefiting communities, 
promoting inclusivity and fairness in project implementation. 
Similar to the changes made in Sections 101(j) and 302(h) of 
this Act, providing additional financial flexibility for 
carrying out water resources development projects provides all 
communities across the Nation with greater access to Corps 
expertise in addressing local water resources challenges, 
enabling communities of all economic means to undertake vital 
projects that might otherwise be unaffordable. Such investments 
lead to improved local economies, enhanced quality of life, and 
greater resilience to future challenges.
    Furthermore, Section 132 of WRDA 2024, as amended, expands 
the types of projects available to Tribes under the Tribal 
Partnership Program, recognizing the unique needs and 
priorities of Tribal communities. Section 302 of WRDA 2024, as 
amended, extends the authorization for the pilot program 
established under Section 118 of WRDA 2020 for additional 
years, allowing additional communities access to the benefits 
provided by this program.

Delivering Projects to Ports and Harbors through WRDA 2024

    Ports and harbors in the United States are essential to our 
economic and national security, helping to support the 
transportation of waterborne commerce and military goods. WRDA 
2024, as amended, seeks to strengthen United States supply 
chains by continuing to prioritize the infrastructure and 
maintenance needs of our nation's harbors--both big and small. 
For example, Section 206 includes an annual reporting 
requirement on the operations and maintenance costs and needs 
at harbors and inland harbors, the distribution of funds from 
the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund, and a list of unmet needs at 
harbors. This requirement will provide the Committee with a 
continuous baseline and understanding of the infrastructure 
needs at our Nation's harbors, as well as the Corps' 
implementation of Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund allocations 
directed by Section 102 of WRDA 2020.
    WRDA 2024, as amended, also amends Sections 101(a) and (b) 
of WRDA 1986 to increase the depth at which Federal ports and 
harbors projects can receive Federal support for construction 
and operation and maintenance. This will help ports and harbors 
modernize and stay competitive on the global stage, allowing 
more goods and services to be delivered into our country and 
exported around the world. Additionally, this legislation 
expands existing programs at the Corps that support emerging 
harbors (Section 112), remote and subsistence harbors (Section 
113), and underserved community harbors (Section 114), which 
are often critical to the economic well-being of local 
communities.

                        Congressional Direction

    After Action Reviews.--The Committee recognizes that the 
Corps performs after action reviews following completion of 
each project; however, it understands that the results from 
those reviews are not shared amongst the Corps' various 
Districts and Divisions. The Committee encourages the Corps to 
develop a database for sharing lessons learned internally from 
after action reviews in a format that is helpful to other Corps 
project teams, such as being searchable by project feature.
    Allegheny River, Pennsylvania.--The Committee recognizes 
the importance of the Allegheny River to the inland waterways 
network and to the movement of freight. In carrying out the 
study pursuant to Section 201(a)(102), the Secretary is 
encouraged to coordinate with relevant Federal agencies and a 
broad array of stakeholders to consider opportunities for 
waterway freight diversification, multi-modal facility 
development, and other economic development opportunities for 
the continued viability of the Allegheny River Corridor, 
Pennsylvania.
    Cleveland Harbor, Ohio, Dredge Material Management Plan.--
Ensuring adequate dredged material placement capacity for ports 
along Lake Erie is essential to adhere to the State of Ohio's 
law prohibiting the open lake placement of dredged 
material.\13\ The Committee continues to encourage the Corps to 
maximize the beneficial use of dredged material and plan for 
the long-term management of dredged material in Lake Erie, 
particularly in Cleveland Harbor, which is expected to reach 
its current dredged material capacity by 2029. The Committee 
notes that the interim Dredged Material Management Plan (DMMP) 
for Cleveland Harbor, Ohio, has been under development since 
2017 and that the development of the full 20-year DMMP has been 
delayed. The Committee encourages the Corps to expeditiously 
complete a DMMP, no later than 2025, for Cleveland Harbor and 
evaluate the Cleveland Harbor Eastern Embayment Resilience 
Strategy project as a locally led, long-term dredged material 
placement site.

    Coastal Mapping Program.--The Committee underscores that 
Section 8110 of WRDA 2022 authorized the Corps to carry out a 
national coastal mapping study and received funding through the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024 (P.L. 118-42). In 
addition, the Committee notes that flood risk in coastal 
floodplains can be equally affected by impacts from tidally-
influenced waterways as well as by non-tidal riverine and 
precipitation influences. Accordingly, the Committee encourages 
the Corps to examine potential coastal impacts from both tidal 
and non-tidal waterbodies (including wetlands, streams, and 
rivers) in conducing comprehensive watershed assessments.
    Coordination with the 3D Hydrography Program.--The 3D 
Hydrography Program (3DHP), led by the United States Geological 
Survey, utilizes cutting-edge mapping and geographic 
information system technologies to provide comprehensive data 
on our Nation.\14\ The Committee encourages the Corps to 
continue coordination with this program and utilize 3DHP data, 
as appropriate, in the development and evaluation of water 
resource projects.

    Corps-Operated Dams for Hydropower.--The Committee is aware 
that Power Marketing Agencies often utilize Corps-operated dams 
for the production of hydropower. The Committee continues to 
maintain that no action by the Secretary in carrying out the 
Corps of Engineers' primary mission areas preempts the 
Administrator of a Power Marketing Agency from setting rates 
for the sale of electric power and energy pursuant to Section 5 
of the Flood Control Act of 1944, except in the circumstance 
Congress has specified that monies appropriated to the Corps of 
Engineers must be repaid by hydropower customers within a 
prescribed time period.
    Craig Harbor, Alaska.--The Committee directs the Corps to 
expeditiously undertake formal consultation with the Craig 
Tribal Association regarding a General Reevaluation Report for 
the Craig Navigation Improvements Project, authorized under 
Section 204 of the Flood Control Act of 1948 and construction 
authorized by Section 1401 of the Water Inf`rastructure 
Improvements for the Nation Act of 2016 (P.L. 114-322),

    Dam Safety Assurance Authority.--The Committee encourages 
the Corps to consider and review any request for application of 
its authority pursuant to Section 1203 of the Water Resources 
Development Act of 1985 (33 U.S.C. 467n), specifically at 
Garrison Dam, North Dakota, and Oahe Dam, South Dakota.
    Deauthorizations.--Section 301 of the bill establishes a 
process for the deauthorization of certain water resources 
development projects not yet initiated or appropriated. The 
Committee notes that the following projects continue to have 
support from the associated non-Federal interest and should not 
be included in any list to deauthorize water resources projects 
pursuant to this section:
          (1) The project for environmental restoration, 
        Matilija Dam, Ventura County, California, authorized by 
        section 1001(10) of WRDA 2007 (121 Stat. 1051).
          (2) The project for flood damage reduction, Santa 
        Barbara streams, Lower Mission Creek, California, 
        authorized by section 101(b) of WRDA 2000 (114 Stat. 
        2577).
          (3) San Francisco Bay to Stockton Navigation 
        Improvement: Project to modify the project for 
        navigation, San Francisco Bay to Stockton, California, 
        authorized by the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1965 (79 
        Stat. 1091).
          (4) Suisun Bay Channel (Slough), California: Project 
        for navigation, Suisun Bay Channel (Slough), 
        California. The Corps already abandoned its previous 
        disposition study in 2021.
          (5) Middle Creek, Lake County, California: Project 
        for flood damage reduction and environmental 
        restoration, Middle Creek, Lake County, California, 
        authorized by section 1001(11) of the WRDA 2007 (121 
        Stat. 1051).
    Definition of Including.--The Committee notes that a 
fundamental canon of statutory construction is that the term 
``include'' should be interpreted with a presumption of non-
exclusiveness--meaning that the word ``including,'' when used 
by itself, means that the list is merely exemplary and not 
exhaustive.\16\ The Committee is concerned that the Corps has 
taken a narrower approach to the use of the term ``including'' 
in WRDA interpretation, and reminds the Corps of the plain 
meaning of this term when used in statutory construction.

expeditiously review current conditions and forecasted regional 
water supply needs as part of a water reallocation study and 
provide updated costs and needs at Lake Aquilla as part of the 
Middle Brazos System, Texas.
    Materials.--The Committee encourages the Corps to maintain 
a flexible and adaptive approach in selecting construction 
materials. This entails prioritizing the most suitable 
materials for each specific application and may include in its 
analysis factors such as performance, impact, cost-
effectiveness, and availability. The Corps should also remain 
informed about advancements in material science and the 
development of new materials to ensure that they are utilizing 
the most current and innovative options available.
    Missouri River Ice Jams.--Section 1150 of WRDA 2016, as 
amended, provides the Corps with authority for preventing and 
mitigating flood damage and ensuring water supply associated 
with ice jams in the Upper Missouri River Basin and the 
Northeast. The Committee encourages the Corps to utilize this 
authority, specifically addressing the dangerous levels of ice 
jam impacts on the Missouri River reach (20 miles) of Omaha, 
Nebraska, as evidenced by the 2021, 2022, and 2023 ice jams.
    Missouri River Levee System 408L Unit.--The Committee 
recognizes the challenges faced by the Farley-Beverly Levee 
District in Missouri in working with the Bureau of Prisons and

relevant Federally-constructed levee and maintain eligibility 
under the emergency response to natural disasters program 
pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 701n.
    Norfolk Harbor and Channels, Virginia.--The Committee 
reminds the Corps that Section 1403 of WRDA 2018 authorized 
further improvements for Norfolk Harbor and Channels, Virginia, 
and took no deauthorization action. The Committee further 
instructs the Corps that absent any specific deauthorization, 
the elements of Norfolk Harbor and Channels, Virginia, 
including a depth of 55 feet for Anchorage F, authorized by 
Section 201 of WRDA 1986 remain fully authorized.
    Noyes Levee, Minnesota.--The Committee encourages the Corps 
to work with the State of Minnesota and other non-Federal 
partners to address the maintenance needs of the Noyes Levee.
    Oyster Gardens.--The Committee recognizes the role oysters 
can play in improving water quality and encourages the Corps to 
explore opportunities to work with states, localities, and 
other non-Federal partners to support the development of oyster 
gardens and other oyster restoration activities.
    Prospect Park, Des Moines, Iowa.--The Committee encourages 
the Corps to work with the city of Des Moines, Iowa to 
establish an easement on the Prospect Park property in Des 
Moines, Iowa, providing for its public outdoor recreation use 
in perpetuity consistent with the requirements of 54 U.S.C. 
300305.
    Red River Basin Chloride Control Area VIII, Texas.--The

interests.

                    Duplication of Federal Programs

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(5) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee finds that no provision 
of H.R. 8812, 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.

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 finds that H.R. 8812, as amended, 
does not preempt any state, local, or Tribal law.

                      Advisory Committee Statement

    Section 5(b) of the appendix to Title 5, United States 
Code, requires the report of any Committee establishing, or 
authorizing the establishment of any advisory committee, to 
include a statement as to whether the functions of the proposed 
advisory committee are being or could be performed by one or 
more agencies or by an advisory committee already in existence, 
or by enlarging the mandate of an existing advisory committee.

    This section directs the Secretary to identify and utilize 
the minimum real estate interest required for authorized water 
resources development projects and report back to Congress when 
the Secretary requires the use of fee simple title, where the 
non-Federal interest requested the use of something less than 
fee simple title.

Section 104. Study of Water Resources Development Projects by Non-
        Federal Interests

    This section clarifies requirements for a non-Federal 
interest carrying out a study of an authorized project or a 
study of a modification for an authorized project.

Section 105. Construction of Water Resources Development Projects by 
        Non-Federal Interests

authorizes third party implementation of mitigation 
obligations. Section 110(1)(A) clarifies the original intent of 
Congress regarding the application of Section 906 of WRDA 1986, 
as amended. Section 110(3) does not alter the responsibility of 
the Secretary to carry out mitigation in compliance with 
Section 906 of WRDA 1986, as amended.

material. The Committee notes that ecosystem restoration 
efforts in McKay Bay, Florida could be advanced through greater 
beneficial use of sediment, as directed by this section.

Section 118. Economic, Hydraulic, and Hydrologic Modeling

    This section directs the Secretary to collaborate with 
Federal and state agencies, National Laboratories, and non-
profit research institutions, including institutions of higher 
education, to develop economic, hydraulic, and hydrologic 
models for use in water resource development projects. The 
Committee believes that robust models populated with accurate 
and up-to-date data are essential for planning effective water 
resources projects, and avoid dangerous, unintended 
consequences for communities, fish and wildlife habitat, 
resource-based businesses, and water-dependent industries.

Section 119. Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations

    This section makes permanent the authority of the Secretary 
to incorporate the use of forecast-informed reservoir 
operations (otherwise known as FIRO) in managing Corps 
facilities and directs the Corps to prioritize the assessment 
of additional areas for integrating forecast-informed reservoir 
operations.

Section 120. Updates to Certain Water Control Manuals

    This section directs the Secretary to prioritize the update 
of water control manuals that incorporate the use of forecast-
informed reservoir operations into such manuals.

Section 121. Water Supply Mission

    This section elevates water supply as a primary mission of 
the Corps, while maintaining the priority of existing missions. 
This section also directs the Secretary to issue two reports to 
the authorizing committees of the House and Senate on steps 
taken to elevate water supply as a primary mission area, and 
opportunities to further partner with non-Federal interests to 
incorporate water supply into existing Corps' projects.

Section 122. Real Estate Administrative Fees

    This section directs the Secretary to develop guidance to 
standardize processes for developing, updating, and tracking 
real estate administrative fees administered by the Corps.

Section 123. Challenge Cost-Sharing Program for Management of 
        Recreation Facilities

    This section authorizes a private, non-profit entity to 
partner with the Corps on the operation and management of a 
Corps recreation facility.

Section 124. Retention of Recreation Fees

    This section authorizes Corps recreation facilities to 
retain future recreation fees collected.

publicly available databases with information about Corps 
recreational sites, such as the operational status and the 
recreational opportunities available at these sites.

Section 126. Services of Volunteers

    This section authorizes the Secretary to recognize the 
contributions of volunteers at Corps recreation sites.

Section 127. Non-Recreation Outgrant Policy

    This section directs the Secretary to update policy 
guidance for the evaluation and approval of non-recreational 
real estate outgrant requests for the installation of broadband 
infrastructure on lands and waters operated and maintained by 
the Corps.

Section 128. Improvements to National Dam Safety Program

    This section modifies the National Dam Inventory to include 
low-head dams.
    This section also reauthorizes the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency's (FEMA's) National Dam Safety Program 
through 2028 and makes changes to strengthen the High Hazard 
Potential Dam program, including requiring that rehabilitated 
dams are maintained and appropriate floodplain management plans 
are in place.

Section 129. Rehabilitation of Corps of Engineers Constructed Dams

    This section reauthorizes current authority for 
rehabilitating certain Corps-constructed dams.

Section 130. Treatment of Projects in Covered Communities.

    This section provides support for certain communities in 
delivering water resources development projects.

Section 131. Ability to Pay

    This section directs the Secretary to assess the ability of 
non-Federal interests to pay by considering criteria such as 
per capita income, project cost, and financial resources of 
relevant counties, and to report annually to Congress on these 
determinations.

Section 132. Tribal Partnership Program

    This section makes the Tribal Partnership Program permanent 
and increases its authorization and areas of function.

Section 133. Funding to Process Permits

    This section amends Section 214 of the WRDA 2000 to include 
Indian Tribes. The Committee is aware that the Corps has not 
yet implemented changes to the Section 214 program as amended 
by WRDA 2022. Section 8135 of WRDA 2022 expanded the Section 
214 process to allow the funds to be utilized towards the 
review of proposed mitigation bank sites and mitigation banking 
instruments, under which the Corps evaluates a proposed 
mitigation bank against certain requirements and determines 
potential creditable value. The Corps interpretation of the 
statute is that they only have the ability to utilize Section 
214 funds towards processing construction permits for 
mitigation banks, not the approval of the site as a mitigation 
bank or the mitigation banking instrument. The Committee finds 
this contrary to the plain language of the WRDA 2022 language 
and hopes correcting this interpretation can be addressed 
administratively and aligned with Congressional intent.

Section 134. Project Studies Subject to Independent External Peer 
        Review

    This section modifies the Independent External Peer Review 
program parameters and makes the program permanent.

Section 135. Control of Aquatic Plant Growths and Invasive Species

    This section authorizes the Secretary to work with non-
Federal interests, including states, on monitoring and 
contingency planning for invasive species and adds the 
Connecticut River Basin to the program.

Section 136. Remote Operations at Corps Dams

    This section implements certain requirements for the use of 
remote operation activities at water resources development 
projects.

Section 137. Harmful Algal Bloom Demonstration Program

    This section directs the Secretary to prioritize program 
activities that reduce nutrient pollution, utilize natural and 
nature-based approaches, protect wetlands, develop technologies 
for detecting harmful algal blooms, and combine bloom removal 
with beneficial uses. Additionally, the Secretary is authorized 
to enter into agreements with non-Federal entities for the use 
or sale of successful technologies developed under the program.

Section 138. Support of Army Civil Works Missions

    This section authorizes the Secretary to enter into 
contracts or cooperative agreements with certain universities 
to conduct research in support of the Corps' civil works 
missions.

Section 139. National Coastal Mapping Program

    This section authorizes the Secretary to carry out a 
National coastal mapping program to provide recurring mapping 
of coastlines to support navigation, flood risk management, 
environmental restoration, and emergency operations projects.

Section 140. Watershed and River Basin Assessments

    This section includes additional locations for watershed-
based studies under Section 729 of the WRDA of 1986 and 
authorizes their conversion to feasibility studies.

Section 141. Removal of Abandoned Vessels

    This section authorizes the Secretary to remove abandoned 
vessels.

Section 142. Corrosion Prevention

    This section encourages the Secretary to coordinate with 
apprenticeship programs and utilize National standard best 
practices when conducting corrosion prevention activities.

Section 143. Missouri River Existing Features Protection

    This section requires the Secretary to mitigate for certain 
actions in the Missouri River.

Section 144. Federal Breakwaters and Jetties

    This section authorizes the Secretary to repair and 
maintain pile dikes.

Section 145. Temporary Relocation Assistance Pilot Program

    This section adds the Norfolk Coastal Storm Risk Management 
Project to a temporary relocation assistance program.

Section 146. Easements for Hurricane and Storm Damage Reduction 
        Projects

    This section directs the Secretary to provide flexibility 
and transparency for real estate requirements for hurricane and 
storm damage reduction projects. This section also provides two 
years for certain authorized hurricane and storm damage 
reduction projects to come into compliance with the Corps' real 
estate requirements.

Section 147. Shoreline and Riverine Protection and Restoration

    This section adds the shoreline of the State of Connecticut 
to Section 212 of the WRDA of 1999 for the purpose of carrying 
out studies and projects to reduce flood and storm damage 
hazards and restore shorelines.

Section 148. Sense of Congress Related to Water Data

    This section expresses a sense of Congress that the 
Secretary should develop and implement a framework for 
integrating, sharing, and using water data for the purpose of 
improving water resources management.

Section 149. Sense of Congress Relating to Comprehensive Benefits

    This section expresses a sense of Congress that the 
Secretary should, to the maximum extent practicable, follow, 
when carrying out a feasibility study: (1) the guidance 
included in the ``Comprehensive Documentation of Benefits in 
Feasibility Studies''' memorandum, dated April 3, 2020; and (2) 
the policies included in the ``Policy Directive--Comprehensive 
Documentation of Benefits in Decision Document,'' dated January 
5, 2021. This section is not intended to affect ongoing efforts 
by the Corps to implement the requirements of Section 110 of 
WRDA 2020 (42 U.S.C. 1962-4).

Section 150. Reporting and Oversight

    This section requires the Secretary to submit a report 
detailing the status of certain reports that Congress has 
previously directed the Corps to complete, as well as an annual 
report on newly authorized reports.
    The Committee is deeply concerned with the lack of progress 
by the Corps in carrying out several legislative mandates to 
complete certain studies and reports related to individual 
projects or policies of the Corps civil works missions. The 
Committee does not view fulfillment of these legal requirements 
as optional on the part of the Corps, regardless of whether 
specific appropriations are provided to carry out these 
directives; yet, in recent years, the Committee is concerned 
that the Corps has taken such an approach, and has, often at 
the last minute, rebuffed legal obligations for mandated 
studies and reports due to ``lack of specific 
appropriations'''. This section highlights specific 
legislatively-mandated studies and reports enacted in recent 
years that are well past their statutorily required deadline 
but is not a comprehensive accounting of other legislatively 
mandated studies and reports from prior WRDAs that are also 
well overdue. The Committee expects the Corps, using existing 
funds available to the agency, to not only provide the specific 
information required by this section, but also to fulfil its 
legal obligation to provide the Committees with all mandated 
reports and studies pending with the Corps.

Section 151. Sacramento River Watershed Native American Site and 
        Cultural Resource Protection Program

    This section establishes a pilot program in the Sacramento 
River watershed regarding Native American cultural resources at 
Corps sites.

Section 152. Emergency Drought Operations Pilot Program

    This section establishes a pilot program for emergency 
drought operations in Arizona, California, and Nevada.

Section 153. Report on Minimum Real Estate Interest

    This section requires the Secretary to report to Congress 
regarding minimum real estate interests.

Section 154. Levee Owners Board

    This section amends Section 9003 of WRDA 2007 (33 U.S.C. 
3302) to direct the Secretary to create a Levee Owners Board to 
collaborate with and provide advice and recommendations on 
flood protection.

Section 155. Definition.

    This section defines the term ``state''.

                     TITLE II--STUDIES AND REPORTS


Section 201. Authorization of Proposed Feasibility Studies

    This section authorizes the Secretary to carry out 160 new 
feasibility studies.

Section 202. Expedited Completion

    This section directs the Secretary to expedite completion 
of 13 feasibility studies currently underway. Upon completion

  Sec. 107. (a) That the Secretary of the Army is authorized to 
allot from any appropriations hereafter made for rivers and 
harbors not to exceed $62,500,000 for any one fiscal year for 
the construction of small river and harbor improvement projects 
not specifically authorized by Congress which will result in 
substantial benefits to navigation and which can be operated 
consistently with appropriate and economic use of the waters of 
the Nation for other purposes, when in the opinion of the Chief 
of Engineers such work is advisable, if benefits are in excess 
of the cost.
  (b) Not more than [$10,000,000] $12,500,000 shall be allotted 
for the construction of a project under this section at any 
single locality and the amount allotted shall be sufficient to 
complete the Federal participation in the project under this 
section.
  (c) Local interests shall provide without cost to the United 
States all necessary lands, easements and rights-of-way for all 
projects to be constructed under the authority of this section. 
In addition, local interests may be required to hold and save 
the United States free from damages that may result from the 
construction and maintenance of the project and may be required 
to provide such additional local cooperation as the Chief of 
Engineers deems appropriate. A State, county, municipality or 
other responsible local entity shall give assurance 
satisfactory to the Chief of Engineers that such conditions of 
cooperation as are required will be accomplished.
  (d) Non-Federal interests may be required to share in the 
cost of the project to the extent that the Chief of Engineers 
deems that such cost should not be borne by the Federal 
Government in view of the recreational or otherwise special or 
local nature of the project benefits.
  (e) Each project for which money is allotted under this 
section shall be complete in itself and not commit the United 
States to any additional improvement to insure its successful 
operation, other than routine maintenance, and except as may 
result from the normal procedure applying to projects 
authorized after submission of survey reports, and projects 
constructed under the authority of this section shall be 
considered as authorized projects.
  (f) This section shall apply to, but not be limited to, the 
provision of low water access navigation channels from the 
existing channel of the Mississippi River to harbor areas 
heretofore or now established and located along the Mississippi 
River.

SEC. 217. DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL FACILITY PARTNERSHIPS.

  (a) Additional Capacity Or Replacement Capacity.--
          (1) Provided by secretary.--
                  (A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), 
                at the request of a non-Federal interest with 
                respect to a project, the Secretary may--
                          (i) provide additional capacity at a 
                        dredged material disposal facility 
                        constructed by the Secretary beyond the 
                        capacity that would be required for 
                        project purposes; or
                          (ii) permit the use of dredged 
                        material disposal facility capacity 
                        required for project purposes by the 
                        non-Federal interest if the Secretary 
                        determines that replacement capacity 
                        can be constructed at the facility or 
                        another facility or site before such 
                        capacity is needed for project 
                        purposes.
                  (B) Agreement.--Before the Secretary takes an 
                action under subparagraph (A), the non-Federal 
                interest shall agree to pay--
                          (i) all costs associated with the 
                        construction of the additional capacity 
                        or replacement capacity in advance of 
                        construction of such capacity; and
                          (ii) in the case of use by a non-
                        Federal interest of dredged material 
                        disposal capacity required for project 
                        purposes under subparagraph (A)(ii), 
                        any increase in the cost of operation 
                        and maintenance of the project that the 
                        Secretary determines results from the 
                        use of the project capacity by the non-
                        Federal interest in advance of each 
                        cycle of dredging.
                  (C) Credit.--In the event the Secretary 
                determines that the cost to operate or maintain 
                the project decreases as a result of use by the 
                non-Federal interest of dredged material 
                disposal capacity required for project purposes 
                under subparagraph (A)(ii), the Secretary, at 
                the request of the non-Federal interest, shall 
                credit the amount of the decrease toward any 
                cash contribution of the non-Federal interest 
                required thereafter for construction, 
                operation, or maintenance of the project, or of 
                another navigation project.
          (2) Cost recovery authority.--The non-Federal 
        interest may recover the costs assigned to the 
        additional capacity under paragraph (1)(A)(i) through 
        fees assessed on third parties whose dredged material 
        is deposited at the facility and who enter into 
        agreements with the non-Federal interest for the use of 
        the facility. The amount of such fees may be determined 
        by the non-Federal interest.
          (3) Special rule for designation of replacement 
        capacity facility or site.--
                  (A) In general.--Subject to such terms and 
                conditions as the Secretary determines to be 
                necessary or advisable, an agreement under 
                paragraph (1)(B) for use permitted under 
                paragraph (1)(A)(ii) shall reserve to the non-
                Federal interest--
                          (i) the right to submit to the 
                        Secretary for approval at a later date 
                        an alternative to the facility or site 
                        designated in the agreement for 
                        construction of replacement capacity; 
                        and
                          (ii) the right to construct the 
                        replacement capacity at the alternative 
                        facility or site at the expense of the 
                        non-Federal interest.
                  (B) Requirement.--The Secretary shall not 
                reject a site for the construction of 
                replacement capacity under paragraph (1)(A)(ii) 
                that is submitted by the non-Federal interest 
                for approval by the Secretary before the date 
                of execution of the agreement under paragraph 
                (1)(B), or thereafter, unless the Secretary--
                          (i) determines that the site is 
                        environmentally unacceptable, 
                        geographically unacceptable, or 
                        technically unsound; and
                          (ii) provides a written basis for the 
                        determination under clause (i) to the 
                        non-Federal interest.
          (4) Public comment.--The Secretary shall afford the 
        public an opportunity to comment on the determinations 
        required under this subsection for a use permitted 
        under paragraph (1)(A)(ii).
  (b) Non-Federal Use of Disposal Facilities.--

        areas, and relocations for the project, in combination 
        with other costs contributed by the non-Federal 
        interests, will exceed 35 percent, any additional costs 
        for the project (not to exceed 65 percent of the total 
        costs of the project) shall be a Federal responsibility

        constructing, operating, maintaining, and 
        rehabilitating such projects shall be in accordance 
        with existing law: Provided, That after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall not submit 
        to Congress any proposal for the authorization of any 
        water resources project that has a hydroelectric power 
        component unless such proposal contains the comments of 
        the appropriate Power Marketing Adminstrator designated 
        pursuant to section 302 of the Department of Energy 
        Organization Act (Public Law 95-91) concerning the 
        appropriate Power Marketing Administration's ability to

        rates established pursuant to or prescribed by 
        applicable law), and any other costs assigned in 
        accordance with law for return from power revenues can 
        be returned within the period set for the return of 
        such costs by or pursuant to such applicable Federal 
        power marketing law;

                cost-shared project identified by the non-
                Federal interest.

          (2) Interest.--
                  (A) In general.--At the request of any non-
                Federal interest, the Secretary may waive the 
                accrual of interest on any non-Federal cash 
                contribution under this section or section 101 
                for a project for a period of not more than 1 
                year if the Secretary determines that--
                          (i) the waiver will contribute to the 
                        ability of the non-Federal interest to 
                        make future contributions; and
                          (ii) the non-Federal interest is in 
                        good standing under terms agreed to 
                        under subsection (k)(1).
                  (B) Limitations.--The Secretary may grant not 
                more than 1 waiver under subparagraph (A) for 
                the same project.
  (m) Ability To Pay.--
          (1) In general.--Any cost-sharing agreement under 
        this section for a feasibility study, or for 
        construction of an environmental protection and 
        restoration project, a flood control project, a project 
        for navigation, storm damage protection, shoreline 
        erosion, hurricane protection, or recreation, or [an 
        agricultural] a water supply project, shall be subject 
        to the ability of the non-Federal interest to pay.
          [(2) Criteria and procedures.--The ability of a non-
        Federal interest to pay shall be determined by the 
        Secretary in accordance with criteria and procedures in 
        effect under paragraph (3) on the day before the date 
        of enactment of the Water Resources Development Act of 
        2000; except that such criteria and procedures shall be 
        revised, and new criteria and procedures shall be 
        developed, not later than December 31, 2007 to reflect 
        the requirements of such paragraph (3).
          [(3) Revision of criteria and procedures.--In 
        revising criteria and procedures pursuant to paragraph 
        (2), the Secretary--
                  [(A) shall consider--
                          [(i) per capita income data for the 
                        county or counties in which the project 
                        is to be located; and
                          [(ii) the per capita non-Federal cost 
                        of construction of the project for the 
                        county or counties in which the project 
                        is to be located; and
                  [(B) may consider additional criteria 
                relating to the non-Federal interest's 
                financial ability to carry out its cost-sharing 
                responsibilities, to the extent that the 
                application of such criteria does not eliminate 
                areas from eligibility for a reduction in the 
                non-Federal share as determined under 
                subparagraph (A).]
          (2) Criteria.--The Secretary shall determine the 
        ability of a non-Federal interest to pay under this 
        subsection by considering--
                  (A) per capita income data for the county or 
                counties in which the project is to be located;
                  (B) the per capita non-Federal cost of 
                construction of the project for the county or 
                counties in which the project is to be located;
                  (C) the financial capabilities of the non-
                Federal interest for the project;
                  (D) the guidance issued under section 160 of 
                the Water Resources Development Act of 2020 (33 
                U.S.C. 2201 note); and
                  (E) any additional criteria relating to the 
                non-Federal interest's financial ability to 
                carry out its cost-sharing responsibilities 
                determined appropriate by the Secretary.
          (3) Procedures.--For purposes of carrying out 
        paragraph (2), the Secretary shall develop procedures--
                  (A) to allow a non-Federal interest to 
                identify the amount such non-Federal interest 
                would likely be able to pay; and
                  (B) for a non-Federal interest to submit a 
                request to the Secretary to reduce the required 
                non-Federal share.
          (4) Non-federal share.--Notwithstanding subsection 
        (a), the Secretary may reduce the requirement that a 
        non-Federal interest make a cash contribution for any 
        project that is determined to be eligible for a 
        reduction in the non-Federal share under criteria and 
        procedures in effect under paragraphs (1), (2), and 
        (3).
          (5) Benefits analysis considerations.--In calculating 
        the benefits and costs of project alternatives relating 
        to the height of a flood risk reduction project for 
        purposes of determining the national economic 
        development benefits of the project, the Secretary--
                  (A) shall include insurance costs incurred by 
                homeowners; and
                  (B) may consider additional costs incurred by 
                households, as appropriate.
          (6) Exception.--This subsection shall not apply to

                description, for the applicable year, of--
                          (i) requests by a non-Federal 
                        interest to reduce the non-Federal 
                        share required in a cost-sharing 
                        agreement;

                    INTERESTS.

  (a) Submission to Secretary.--
          (1) In general.--A non-Federal interest [may 
        undertake a federally authorized feasibility study of a 
        proposed water resources development project, or,] may 
        undertake and submit to the Secretary--
                  (A) a federally authorized feasibility study 
                of a proposed water resources development 
                project; or  [upon the written approval]
                  (B) upon the determination  of the Secretary 
                that the modifications are consistent with the 
                authorized purposes of the project, [undertake] 
                a feasibility study on modifications to a water 
                resources development project constructed by 
                the Corps of Engineers[, and submit the study 
                to the Secretary] or constructed by a non-
                Federal interest pursuant to section 204.
          (2) Guidelines.--To assist non-Federal interests, the 
        Secretary[, as soon as practicable,] shall issue 
        guidelines for the formulation of feasibility studies 
        of water resources development projects undertaken by 
        [non-Federal interests to] non-Federal interests that--
                  [(A) ensure that any feasibility study with 
                respect to which the Secretary submits an 
                assessment to Congress under subsection (c) 
                complies with all of the requirements that 
                would apply to a feasibility study undertaken 
                by the Secretary; and ]
                  (A) provide clear, concise, and transparent 
                guidance for the non-Federal interest to use in 
                developing a feasibility study that complies 
                with requirements that would apply to a 
                feasibility study undertaken by the Secretary;
                  (B) provide sufficient information for the 
                formulation of the studies, including processes 
                and procedures related to reviews and 
                assistance under subsection (e)[.];
                  (C) provide guidance to a non-Federal 
                interest on obtaining support from the 
                Secretary to complete elements of a feasibility 
                study that may be considered inherently 
                governmental and required to be done by a 
                Federal agency; and
                  (D) provide contacts for employees of the 
                Corps of Engineers that a non-Federal interest 
                may use to initiate coordination with the 
                Secretary and identify at what stages 
                coordination may be beneficial.
          (3) Determination.--If a non-Federal interest 
        requests to undertake a feasibility study on a 
        modification to a constructed water resources 
        development project under paragraph (1)(B), the 
        Secretary shall expeditiously provide to the non-
        Federal interest the determination required under such 
        paragraph with respect to whether conceptual 
        modifications, as presented by the non-Federal 
        interest, are consistent with the authorized purposes 
        of the project.
  (b) Review by Secretary.--
          (1) In general.--The Secretary shall review each 
        feasibility study received under subsection (a)(1) for 
        the purpose of determining whether or not the study, 
        and the process under which the study was developed, 
        each comply with Federal laws and regulations 
        applicable to feasibility studies of water resources 
        development projects.
          (2) Timing.--The Secretary may not submit to Congress 
        an assessment of a feasibility study under this section 
        until such time as the Secretary--
                  (A) determines that the feasibility study 
                complies with all of the requirements that 
                would apply to a feasibility study undertaken 
                by the Secretary; and
                  (B) completes all of the Federal analyses, 
                reviews, and compliance processes under the 
                National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 
                U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), that would be required 
                with respect to the proposed project if the 
                Secretary had undertaken the feasibility study.
          (3) Initiation of review.--

        Secretary shall credit toward the non-Federal share of 
        the cost of construction of the project or modification 
        to the project an amount equal to the portion of the 
        cost of developing the study that would have been the 
        responsibility of the United States if the study had 
        been developed by the Secretary.
          (2) Maximum amount.--Any credit provided to a non-
        Federal interest under this subsection may not exceed 
        the maximum Federal cost for a feasibility study 
        initiated by the Secretary under section 1001(a)(2) of

                to obtain a certification from a State under 
                Federal law to carry out the project, such 
                certification shall still be required if a 
                written agreement is entered into with respect

                standards; and
                  (C) the Secretary does not find that the 
                project or separable element is no longer 
                feasible.

                the immediately preceding 3 fiscal years 
                exceeds the value of the work carried out for 
                the harbor or inland harbor using amounts from 
                the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund during those 
                3 fiscal years.

                the Internet, a copy of the amended project 
                schedule described in subparagraph (A)(ii).

SEC. 906. FISH AND WILDLIFE MITIGATION.

  (a)(1) In the case of any water resources project which is 
authorized to be constructed by the Secretary before, on, or 
after the date of enactment of this Act, construction of which 
has not commenced as of the date of enactment of this Act, and 
which necessitates the mitigation of fish and wildlife losses, 
including the acquisition of lands or interests in lands to 
mitigate losses to fish and wildlife, as a result of such 
project, such mitigation, including acquisition of the lands or 
interests--
          (A) shall be undertaken or acquired before any 
        construction of the project (other than such 
        acquisition) commences, or
          (B) shall be undertaken or acquired concurrently with 
        lands and interests in lands for project purposes 
        (other than mitigation of fish and wildlife losses),
whichever the Secretary determines is appropriate, except that 
any physical construction required for the purposes of 
mitigation may be undertaken concurrently with the physical 
construction of such project.
  (2) For the purposes of this subsection, any project 
authorized before the date of enactment of this Act on which 
more than 50 percent of the land needed for the project, 
exclusive of mitigation lands, has been acquired shall be 
deemed to have commenced construction under this subsection.
  (b)(1) After consultation with appropriate Federal and non-
Federal agencies, the Secretary is authorized to mitigate 
damages to fish and wildlife resulting from any water resources 
project under his jurisdiction, whether completed, under 
construction, or to be constructed. Such mitigation may include 
the acquisition of lands, or interests therein, except that--
          (A) acquisition under this paragraph shall not be by 
        condemnation in the case of projects completed as of 
        the date of enactment of this Act or on which at least 
        10 percent of the physical construction on the project 
        has been completed as of the date of enactment of this 
        Act; and
          (B) acquisition of water, or interests therein, under 
        this paragraph, shall not be by condemnation.
The Secretary, shall, under the terms of this paragraph, 
obligate no more than $30,000,000 in any fiscal year. With 
respect to any water resources project, the authority under 
this subsection shall not apply to measures that cost more than 
$7,500,000 or 10 percent of the cost of the project, whichever 
is greater.
  (2) Whenever, after his review, the Secretary determines that 
such mitigation features under this subsection are likely to 
require condemnation under subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph 
(1) of this subsection, the Secretary shall transmit to 
Congress a report on such proposed modification, together with 
his recommendations.
  (c) Costs incurred after the date of enactment of this Act, 
including lands, easements, rights-of-way, and relocations, for 
implementation and operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation 
to mitigate damages to fish and wildlife shall be allocated 
among authorized project purposes in accordance with applicable 
cost allocation procedures, and shall be subject to cost 
sharing or reimbursement to the same extent as such other 
project costs are shared or reimbursed, except that when such 
costs are covered by contracts entered into prior to the date 
of enactment of this Act, such costs shall not be recovered 
without the consent of the non-Federal interests or until such 
contracts are complied with or renegotiated.
  (d) Mitigation Plans as Part of Project Proposals.--
          (1) In general.--[After November 17, 1986, the 
        Secretary shall not submit any proposal for the 
        authorization of any water resources project to 
        Congress in any report, and shall not select a project 
        alternative in any report, unless such report contains] 
        The Secretary may not approve any proposal related to a 
        water resources project unless the Secretary has 
        prepared a report relating to the project that contains 
        (A) a recommendation with a specific plan to mitigate 
        for damages to ecological resources, including 
        terrestrial and aquatic resources, and fish and 
        wildlife losses created by such project, or (B) a 
        determination by the Secretary that such project will 
        have negligible adverse impact on ecological resources 
        and fish and wildlife without the implementation of 
        mitigation measures. Specific mitigation plans shall 
        ensure that impacts to bottomland hardwood forests are 
        mitigated in-kind, and other habitat types are 
        mitigated to not less than in-kind conditions, to the 
        extent possible. If the Secretary determines that 
        mitigation to in-kind conditions is not possible, the 
        Secretary shall identify in the report the basis for 
        that determination and the mitigation measures that 
        will be implemented to meet the requirements of this 
        section and the goals of section 307(a)(1) of the Water 
        Resources Development Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 
        2317(a)(1)). In carrying out this subsection, the 
        Secretary shall consult with appropriate Federal and 
        non-Federal agencies.
          (2) Selection and design of mitigation projects.--
        [The Secretary]
                  (A) In general._The Secretary  shall select 
                and design mitigation projects using a 
                watershed approach to reflect contemporary 
                understanding of the science of mitigating the 
                adverse environmental impacts of water 
                resources projects.
                  (B) Identification.--The Secretary shall 
                consult with the non-Federal interest for a 
                water resources project, and other 
                stakeholders, to the maximum extent 
                practicable--
                          (i) to identify mitigation 
                        implementation practices or accepted 
                        assessment methodologies used in the 
                        region of the water resources project 
                        and incorporate such practices and 
                        methodologies into the mitigation plan 
                        for such project; and
                          (ii) to identify projects that have 
                        not been constructed, or concepts 
                        described in mitigation plans for other 
                        water resources projects, that may be 
                        used to meet the restoration or 
                        mitigation needs of the water resources 
                        project.
          (3) Mitigation requirements.--
                  (A) In general.--To mitigate losses to flood 
                damage reduction capabilities and fish and 
                wildlife resulting from a water resources 
                project, the Secretary shall ensure that the 
                mitigation plan for each water resources 
                project complies with, at a minimum, the 
                mitigation standards and policies established 
                pursuant to the regulatory programs 
                administered by the Secretary.
                  (B) Inclusions.--A specific mitigation plan 
                for a water resources project under paragraph 
                (1) shall include, at a minimum--
                          (i) a plan for monitoring the 
                        implementation and ecological success 
                        of each mitigation measure, including 
                        the cost and duration of any 
                        monitoring, and, to the extent 
                        practicable, a designation of the 
                        entities that will be responsible for 
                        the monitoring;
                          (ii) the criteria for ecological 
                        success by which the mitigation will be 
                        evaluated and determined to be 
                        successful based on replacement of lost 
                        functions and values of the habitat, 
                        including hydrologic and vegetative 
                        characteristics;
                          (iii) for projects where mitigation 
                        will be carried out by the Secretary--
                                  (I) a description of the land 
                                and interest in land to be 
                                acquired for the mitigation 
                                plan;
                                  (II) the basis for a 
                                determination that the land and 
                                interests are available for 
                                acquisition; and
                                  (III) a determination that 
                                the proposed interest sought 
                                does not exceed the minimum 
                                interest in land necessary to 
                                meet the mitigation 
                                requirements for the project;
                          (iv) for projects where mitigation 
                        will be carried out through a third 
                        party mitigation arrangement in 
                        accordance with subsection (i)--
                                  (I) a description of the 
                                third party mitigation 
                                instrument to be used or a 
                                description of the requirements 
                                for a third-party mitigation 
                                instrument that would be 
                                developed in the case that a 
                                contract for future delivery of 
                                credits will be used; and
                                  (II) the basis for a 
                                determination that the 
                                mitigation instrument can meet 
                                the mitigation requirements for 
                                the project;
                          (v) a description of--

                                be undertaken to achieve the 
                                mitigation objectives within 
                                the watershed in which such 
                                losses occur and, in any case 
                                in which the mitigation will 
                                occur outside the watershed, a 
                                detailed explanation for 
                                undertaking the mitigation 
                                outside the watershed; and
                                  (III) the functions and 
                                values that will result from 
                                the mitigation plan; and
                          (vi) a contingency plan for taking 
                        corrective actions in cases in which 
                        monitoring demonstrates that mitigation 
                        measures are not achieving ecological 
                        success in accordance with criteria 
                        under clause (ii).
                  (C) Responsibility for monitoring.--In any 
                case in which it is not practicable to identify 
                in a mitigation plan for a water resources 
                project the entity responsible for monitoring 
                at the time of a final report of the Chief of 
                Engineers or other final decision document for 
                the project, such entity shall be identified in 
                the partnership agreement entered into with the 
                non-Federal interest under section 221 of Flood 
                Control Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 1962d-5b).
          (4) Determination of success.--
                  (A) In general.--A mitigation plan under this 
                subsection shall be considered to be successful 
                at the time at which the criteria under 
                paragraph (3)(B)(ii) are achieved under the 
                plan, as determined by monitoring under 
                paragraph (3)(B)(i).
                  (B) Consultation.--In determining whether a 
                mitigation plan is successful under 
                subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall consult 
                annually with appropriate Federal agencies and 
                each State in which the applicable project is 
                located on at least the following:
                          (i) The ecological success of the 
                        mitigation as of the date on which the 
                        report is submitted.
                          (ii) The likelihood that the 
                        mitigation will achieve ecological 
                        success, as defined in the mitigation 
                        plan.
                          (iii) The projected timeline for 
                        achieving that success.
                          (iv) Any recommendations for 
                        improving the likelihood of success.
          (5) Monitoring.--Mitigation monitoring shall continue 
        until it has been demonstrated that the mitigation has 
        met the ecological success criteria.
  (e) In those cases when the Secretary, as part of any report 
to Congress, recommends activities to enhance fish and wildlife 
resources, the fish costs of such enhancement shall be a 
Federal cost when--
          (1) such enhancement provides benefits that are 
        determined to be national, including benefits to 
        species that are identified by the National Marine 
        Fisheries Service as of national economic importance, 
        species that are subject to treaties or international 
        convention to which the United States is a party, and 
        anadromous fish;
          (2) such enhancement is designed to benefit species 
        that have been listed as threatened or endangered by 
        the Secretary of the Interior under the terms of the 
        Endangered Species Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531, et 
        seq.), or
          (3) such activities are located on lands managed as a 
        national wildlife refuge.
When benefits of enhancement do not qualify under the preceding 
sentence, 25 percent of such first costs of enhancement shall 
be provided by non-Federal interests under a schedule of 
reimbursement determined by the Secretary. Not more than 80 
percent of the non-Federal share of such first costs may be 
satisfied through in-kind contributions, including facilities, 
supplies, and services that are necessary to carry out the 
enhancement project. The non-Federal share of operation, 
maintenance, and rehabilitation of activities to enhance fish 
and wildlife resources shall be 25 percent.
  (f) Fish and wildlife enhancement measures carried out as 
part of the project for Atchafalaya Floodway System, Louisiana, 
authorized by Public Law 99-88, and the project for Mississippi 
Delta, Region, Louisiana, authorized by the Flood Control Act 
of 1965, shall be considered to provide benefits that are 
national for purposes of this section.
  (g) The provisions of subsections (a), (b), and (d) shall be 
deemed to supplement the responsibility and authority of the 
Secretary pursuant to the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, 
and nothing in this section is intended to affect that Act.
  (h) Programmatic Mitigation Plans.--
          (1) In general.--The Secretary may develop 
        programmatic mitigation plans to address the potential 
        impacts to ecological resources, fish, and wildlife 
        associated with existing or future Federal water 
        resources development projects.
          (2) Use of mitigation plans.--The Secretary shall, to 
        the maximum extent practicable, use programmatic 
        mitigation plans developed in accordance with this 
        subsection to guide the development of a mitigation 
        plan under subsection (d).
          (3) Non-federal plans.--The Secretary shall, to the 
        maximum extent practicable and subject to all 
        conditions of this subsection, use programmatic 
        environmental plans developed by a State, a body 
        politic of the State, which derives its powers from a 
        State constitution, a government entity created by 
        State legislation, or a local government, that meet the 
        requirements of this subsection to address the 
        potential environmental impacts of existing or future 
        water resources development projects.
          (4) Scope.--A programmatic mitigation plan developed 
        by the Secretary or an entity described in paragraph 
        (3) to address potential impacts of existing or future 
        water resources development projects shall, to the 
        maximum extent practicable--
                  (A) be developed on a regional, ecosystem, 
                watershed, or statewide scale;
                  (B) include specific goals for aquatic 
                resource and fish and wildlife habitat 
                restoration, establishment, enhancement, or 
                preservation;
                  (C) identify priority areas for aquatic 
                resource and fish and wildlife habitat 
                protection or restoration;
                  (D) include measures to protect or restore 
                habitat connectivity;
                  (E) encompass multiple environmental 
                resources within a defined geographical area or 
                focus on a specific resource, such as aquatic 
                resources or wildlife habitat; and
                  (F) address impacts from all projects in a 
                defined geographical area or focus on a 
                specific type of project.
          (5) Consultation.--The scope of the plan shall be 
        determined by the Secretary or an entity described in 
        paragraph (3), as appropriate, in consultation with the 
        agency with jurisdiction over the resources being 
        addressed in the environmental mitigation plan.
          (6) Contents.--A programmatic environmental 
        mitigation plan may include--
                  (A) an assessment of the condition of 
                environmental resources in the geographical 
                area covered by the plan, including an 
                assessment of recent trends and any potential

          (7) Process.--Before adopting a programmatic 
        environmental mitigation plan for use under this 
        subsection, the Secretary shall--
                  (A) for a plan developed by the Secretary--
                          (i) make a draft of the plan 
                        available for review and comment by 
                        applicable environmental resource 
                        agencies and the public; and
                          (ii) consider any comments received 
                        from those agencies and the public on 
                        the draft plan; and
                  (B) for a plan developed under paragraph (3), 
                determine, not later than 180 days after 
                receiving the plan, whether the plan meets the 
                requirements of paragraphs (4) through (6) and 
                was made available for public comment.

        project sponsor, preference may be given, to the 
        maximum extent practicable, to mitigating an 
        environmental impact through the use of a mitigation 
        bank, in-lieu fee, or other third-party mitigation 
        arrangement, if the use of credits from the mitigation 
        bank or in-lieu fee, or the other third-party 
        mitigation arrangement for the project has been 
        approved by the applicable Federal agency.
  (j) Use of Funds.--

        navigable waters of the United States shall be 
        obstructed or endangered by any sunken vessel, boat, 
        water craft, raft, or other similar obstruction, and 
        such obstruction has existed for a longer period than 
        thirty days, or whenever the abandonment of such

        other obstruction shall be subject to be broken up, 
        removed, sold, or otherwise disposed of by the 
        Secretary of War at his discretion, without liability 
        for any damage to the owners of the same: Provided, 
        That in his discretion, the Secretary of War may cause 
        reasonable notice of such obstruction of not less than 
        thirty days, unless the legal abandonment of the 
        obstruction can be established in a less time, to be 
        given by publication, addressed ``To whom it may 
        concern,'' in a newspaper published nearest to the 
        locality of the obstruction, requiring the removal 
        thereof: And provided also, That the Secretary of War 
        may, in his discretion, at or after the time of giving 
        such notice, cause sealed proposals to be solicited by 
        public advertisement, giving reasonable notice of not 
        less than ten days, for the removal of such obstruction 
        as soon as possible after the expiration of the above 
        specified thirty days' notice, in case it has not in 
        the meantime been so removed, these proposals and

        such vessel, boat, water craft, raft, or other 
        obstruction, and all cargo and property contained 
        therein, shall become the property of the contractor, 
        and the contract shall be awarded to the bidder making

                is located, as applicable; and
                  (B) in the case of a vessel that is not under 
                the control of the United States by reason of

States to whom the Secretary may delegate proper authority, the 
Secretary of War or any such agent shall have the right to take 
immediate possession of such boat, vessel, or other water 
craft, or raft, so far as to remove or to destroy it and to 
clear immediately the canal, lock, or navigable waters

        Hawaii or Alaska, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 
        Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, 
        the United States Virgin Islands, or American Samoa;
          [(2) the harbor is economically critical such that 
        over 80 percent of the goods transported through the 
        harbor would be consumed within the region served by 
        the harbor and navigation improvement, as determined by 
        the Secretary, including consideration of information 
        provided by the non-Federal interest; and
          [(3) the long-term viability of the community in 
        which the project is located, or the long-term 
        viability of a community that is located in the region 
        that is served by the project and that will rely on the 
        project, would be threatened without the harbor and

        States, as determined by the Secretary, including 
        consideration of information provided by the non-
        Federal interest; or
          (B) the long-term viability of the community in which 
        the project is located, or the long-term viability of a 
        community that is located in the region that is served 
        by the project and that will rely on the project, would 
        be threatened without the harbor and navigation 
        improvement.
  (b) Justification.--In considering whether to recommend a 
project under subsection (a), the Secretary shall consider the 
[benefits of the project to] benefits of the project to any 
of--
          (1) public health and safety of the local community 
        and communities that are located in the region to be

        protect public health and safety;
          (2) access to natural resources for subsistence 
        purposes;
          (3) local and regional economic opportunities;

national economic development benefits.
  (d) Disposition.--
          (1) In general.--The Secretary may carry out any 
        project identified in the study carried out pursuant to

definitions apply:
          (1) Project study.--The term ``project study'' 
        means--
                  (A) a feasibility study or reevaluation study 
                for a water resources project, including the 
                environmental impact statement prepared for the 
                study; and
                  (B) any other study associated with a 
                modification of a water resources project that 
                includes an environmental impact statement, 
                including the environmental impact statement 
                prepared for the study.
          (2) Affected state.--The term ``affected State'', as 
        used with respect to a water resources project, means a 
        State all or a portion of which is within the drainage 
        basin in which the project is or would be located and 
        would be economically or environmentally affected as a 
        consequence of the project.
          (3) Eligible organization.--The term ``eligible 
        organization'' means an organization that--
                  (A) is described in section 501(c)(3), and

                         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, 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 pre-storm level of 
protection, to the design level of protection, or, 
notwithstanding the authorized dimensions of the structure or 
project, to a level sufficient to meet the authorized purpose 
of such structure or project, 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, including to ensure the structure or project is 
functioning adequately to protect against projected changes in 
wave action or height or storm surge (including changes that 
result from relative sea level change over the useful life of 
the structure or project), subject to the condition that the 
Chief of Engineers may, if requested by the non-Federal 
sponsor, include modifications to the structure or project 
(including the addition of new project features) to address 
major deficiencies, increase resilience, increase benefits from 
the reduction of damages from inundation, wave action, or 
erosion, or implement nonstructural alternatives to the repair 
or restoration of the structure. 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) Cost and benefit feasibility assessment.--
                  (A) Consideration of benefits.--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--
                          (i) residential establishments;
                          (ii) commercial establishments, 
                        including the protection of inventory; 
                        and
                          (iii) agricultural establishments, 
                        including the protection of crops.
                  (B) Special conditions.--
                          (i) Authority to carry out work.--The 
                        Chief of Engineers may carry out repair 
                        or restoration work described in 
                        paragraph (1) that does not produce 
                        benefits greater than the cost if--
                                  (I) the non-Federal sponsor 
                                agrees to pay, or provide 
                                contributions equal to, an 
                                amount sufficient to make the 
                                remaining costs of the project 
                                equal to the estimated value of 
                                the benefits of the repair or 
                                restoration work; and
                                  (II) the Secretary determines 
                                that--
                                          (aa) the damage to 
                                        the structure was not a 
                                        result of negligent 
                                        operation or 
                                        maintenance; and
                                          (bb) repair of the 
                                        project could benefit 
                                        another Corps project.
                          (ii) Treatment of payments and 
                        contributions.--Non-Federal payments or 
                        contributions pursuant to clause (i) 
                        shall be in addition to any non-Federal 
                        payments or contributions required by 
                        the Chief of Engineers that are 
                        applicable to the remaining costs of 
                        the repair or restoration work.
          (3) Extended assistance.--Upon request by a locality 
        receiving assistance under the fourth sentence of 
        paragraph (1), the Secretary shall, subject to the 
        availability of appropriations, enter into an agreement 
        with the locality to provide such assistance beyond the 
        time period otherwise provided for by the Secretary 
        under such sentence.
          (4) 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.
          (5) Feasibility study.--
                  (A) Determination.--Not later than 180 days 
                after receiving, from a non-Federal sponsor of 
                a project to repair or rehabilitate a flood 
                control work described in paragraph (1), a 
                request to initiate a feasibility study to 
                further modify the relevant flood control work 
                to provide for an increased level of 
                protection, the Secretary shall provide to the 
                non-Federal sponsor a written decision on 
                whether the Secretary has the authority under 
                section 216 of the Flood Control Act of 1970 
                (33 U.S.C. 549a) to undertake the requested 
                feasibility study.

                determines under subparagraph (B) that the 
                Secretary does not have the authority to 
                undertake the requested feasibility study, the 
                Secretary shall include the request for a 
                feasibility study in the annual report 
                submitted under section 7001 of the Water 
                Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014.
  (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

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

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.

                        developed by the non-Federal interest 
                        showing a covered encroachment does not 
                        negatively impact the integrity of the 
                        flood control work;
                          (ii) shall make a written 
                        determination with respect to whether 
                        removal or modification of such covered 
                        encroachment is necessary to ensure the 
                        encroachment does not negatively impact 
                        the integrity of the flood control 
                        work; and
                          (iii) may not determine that a 
                        covered encroachment is a deficiency 
                        requiring corrective action unless such 
                        action is necessary to ensure the 
                        encroachment does not negatively impact 
                        the integrity of the flood control

        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

                functionality of the jetty, pile dike, or 
                breakwater to meet the authorized purpose of 
                the project; and
                  (B) such repair or maintenance activity is 
                necessary to restore such functionality; or
          (2) [if--]
                  [(A) the Secretary] if the Secretary has not 
                carried out regular and routine Federal 
                maintenance activity at the jetty, pile dike, 
                or [breakwater; and] breakwater and--
                  [(B)] (A) the structural integrity of the 
                jetty, pile dike, or breakwater is degraded as 
                a result of a lack of such regular and routine 
                Federal maintenance activity[.]; or
                  (B) the pile dike has disconnected from an 
                authorized navigation project as a result of a 
                lack of such regular and routine Federal 
                maintenance activity.
