Congress declares Turtle Bay and Turtle Bayou in Texas to be non-navigable waters. It cancels the old 1910 project to improve Turtle Bayou. Congress keeps the right to change this law later.

This section declares Turtle Bay and Turtle Bayou, both in Chambers County, Texas, to be "nonnavigable waterways" under the U.S. Constitution and federal law. That means federal navigable-waters rules no longer apply to them. It also abandons the earlier federal project for Turtle Bayou that Congress had authorized in 1910. Finally, the section says Congress keeps the right to alter, amend, or repeal this law whenever it wants.
