Whenever, during the construction or reconstruction of any
navigation, flood control, or related water development project
under the direction of the Secretary of the Army, the Chief of
Engineers determines that any structure or facility owned by an
agency of government and utilized in the performance of a
governmental function should be protected, altered, reconstructed,
relocated, or replaced to meet the requirements of navigation or
flood control, or both; or to preserve the safety or integrity of
such facility when its safety or usefulness is determined by the
Chief of Engineers to be adversely affected or threatened by the
project, the Chief of Engineers may, if he deems such action to be
in the public interest, enter into a contract providing for (1) the
payment from appropriations made for the construction or
maintenance of such project, of the reasonable cost of replacing,
relocating, or reconstructing such facility to such standard as he
deems reasonable but not to exceed the minimum standard of the
State or political subdivision for the same type of facility
involved, except that if the existing facility exceeds the minimum
standard of the State or political subdivision, the Chief of
Engineers may provide a facility of comparable standard, or (2) the
payment of a lump sum representing the estimated reasonable cost
thereof. This section shall not be construed as modifying any
existing or future requirement of local cooperation, or as
indicating a policy that local interests shall not hereafter be
required to assume costs of modifying such facilities. The
provisions of this section may be applied to projects hereafter
authorized and to those heretofore authorized but not completed as
of July 3, 1958, and notwithstanding the navigation servitude
vested in the United States, they may be applied to such structures
or facilities occupying the beds of navigable waters of the United
States.
