When the treaty requires deciding whether a new river channel becomes the boundary, whether to restore the old channel, or whether to fix the channel instead, the Commissioner decides — with the Secretary of State's approval — and that decision is final for the United States. The Commissioner can then build whatever works carry out that decision.

When the treaty requires a decision about whether to let a new channel become the boundary, whether to restore a river to its old channel, or whether the two governments should fix the channel instead of restoring it, the Commissioner makes that decision. Once the Secretary of State approves it, the decision is final as far as the United States is concerned. The Commissioner may then build, or arrange to build, whatever works are needed to carry out that decision.

When a determination must be made under the treaty whether to permit a new channel to become the boundary, or whether or not to restore a river to its former channel, or whether, instead of restoration, the Governments should undertake a rectification of the river channel, the Commissioner’s decision, approved by the Secretary of State shall be final so far as the United States is concerned, and the Commissioner is authorized to construct or arrange for the construction of such works as may be required to give effect to that decision.
