(a) Construction, operation, and maintenance; limitation on
estimated Federal first cost of construction; Congressional
committee approval of projects; reports to Congress
The Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers,
is authorized to construct, operate, and maintain any water
resource development project, including single and multiple purpose
projects involving, but not limited to, navigation, flood control,
and shore protection, if the estimated Federal first cost of
constructing such project is less than $15,000,000. No
appropriation shall be made to construct, operate, or maintain any
such project if such project has not been approved by resolutions
adopted by the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the
Senate and the Committee on Public Works and Transportation of the
House of Representatives, respectively. For the purpose of securing
consideration of such approval the Secretary shall transmit to
Congress a report of such proposed project, including all relevant
data and all costs.
(b) Local cooperation requirements based on certain estimated
Federal first cost of construction
Any water resource development project authorized to be
constructed by this section shall be subject to the same
requirements of local cooperation as it would be if the estimated
Federal first cost of such project were $15,000,000 or more.
