$356,400,000 for the construction of the works and accomplishment
of the purposes authorized in sections 1571, 1572, 1573, and 1579

developed since the Bureau's evaluation, the Secretary is directed
to evaluate such cost effective improvements and implement such
improved designs into the plant operations when the evaluation
indicates that cost savings will result: Provided, however, That no
more than five percent of the amount authorized to be appropriated
is used for these purposes. There is further authorized to be
appropriated such sums as may be necessary to pay condemnation
awards in excess of appraised values and to cover costs required in
connection with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 [42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.].
