On and after May 23, 1955, the funds appropriated for flood
prevention purposes may be expended in watersheds heretofore
authorized by section 13 of the Flood Control Act of December 22,
1944, as amended, for necessary measures for the prevention of
erosion, floodwater, and sediment damages, including gully control,
floodwater detention, and floodway structures, in areas other than
those over which the Department of the Army has jurisdiction and
responsibility, and where the Army does have jurisdiction and
responsibility, may enter into agreements with the Army to carry
out jointly the measures heretofore set out and in areas where the
Secretary is authorized to purchase land rights for structural
measures, the Secretary in lieu of such acquisition, may reimburse
local organizations for such proportionate share of the cost of
land rights furnished by local organizations as the Secretary deems
equitable in consideration of the national interest.
