This law lets local governments add recreation or wildlife features to a water project after it's approved. They do this by agreement with the responsible federal agency. This later work never shifts any project costs onto recreation or wildlife.

Nothing in this part stops or discourages a local (non-federal) public body from developing a water project for recreation or fish-and-wildlife purposes after the project has already been approved. This can happen through an agreement with the head of the federal agency in charge of the project. But that later development never becomes the reason to assign or reassign any project costs to recreation or fish-and-wildlife enhancement.

Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing or discouraging postauthorization development of any project for recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement or both by non-Federal public bodies pursuant to agreement with the head of the Federal agency having jurisdiction over the project. Such development shall not be the basis for any allocation or reallocation of project costs to recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement.
