submitted 80 years ago by ch. 960 to r/title-33-NAVIGATION-AND-NAVIGABLE-WATERS · 195 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary may repay non-federal partners for work they already did on small, authorized shore projects, as long as the Chief of Engineers approves the work. Repayment depends on available funding and doesn't jump ahead of higher-priority projects. A written agreement is required before construction begins.

(a) In general. The Secretary may reimburse non-federal interests for work they did — after survey studies for the project began — on authorized projects or parts of projects that individually cost no more than $1,000,000. The Chief of Engineers must approve that the work matches the authorized project. Reimbursement depends on available appropriations or funds, and cannot take priority over other pending projects that rank higher. (b) Agreements. Once the Secretary authorizes reimbursement for a shore-protection project, and before construction starts, the Secretary must sign a written agreement with the non-federal interest. That agreement must state how long the project will last and confirm that the federal government and the non-federal interest will cooperate in carrying it out.
