Congress consents that the States of Minnesota, North Dakota, and
South Dakota, or any two of them, may enter into any agreement or
agreements with each other to aid in improving navigation and to
prevent and control floods on boundary waters of said States and
the waters tributary thereto. And said States, or any two of them,
may agree with each other upon any project or projects for the
purpose of making such improvements, and upon the amount of money
to be contributed by each to carry out such projects. The Secretary
of the Army is authorized and directed to make a survey of any
project proposed, as aforesaid, by said States, or any two of them,
to determine the feasibility and practicability thereof and the
expenses of carrying the same into effect and what share of such
expenses should be borne by the respective States, local interests,
or by the National Government. If the Secretary of the Army
approves any such projects, he may authorize the States to make
such improvements at their own expense, but under his supervision.
