2 (a) DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN NATIONAL BENE3 FITS.—

4 (1) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of 

5 Congress that, consistent with the Economic and 

6 Environmental Principles and Guidelines for Water 

7 and Related Land Resources Implementation Stud8 ies (1983), the Secretary may select a water re9 sources project alternative that does not maximize 

10 net national economic development benefits or net 

11 national ecosystem restoration benefits if there is an 

12 overriding reason based on other Federal, State, 

13 local, or international concerns. 

14 (2) FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION, NAVIGATION, 

15 AND HURRICANE STORM DAMAGE REDUCTION

16 PROJECTS.—With respect to a water resources 

17 project the primary purpose of which is flood dam18 age reduction, navigation, or hurricane and storm 

19 damage reduction, an overriding reason for selecting 

20 a plan other than the plan that maximizes net na21 tional economic development benefits may be if the 

22 Secretary determines, and the non-Federal interest 

23 concurs, that an alternative plan is feasible and 

24 achieves the project purposes while providing greater 

25 ecosystem restoration benefits.

4 overriding reason for selecting a plan other than the 

5 plan that maximizes net national ecosystem restora6 tion benefits may be if the Secretary determines, 

7 and the non-Federal interest concurs, that an alter8 native plan is feasible and achieves the project pur9 poses while providing greater economic development 

10 benefits. 

11 (b) IDENTIFYING ADDITIONAL BENEFITS AND

12 PROJECTS.—

13 (1) PRIMARILY ECONOMIC BENEFITS.—In con14 ducting a study of the feasibility of a project where 

15 the primary benefits are expected to be economic, 

16 the Secretary may identify ecosystem restoration 

17 benefits that may be achieved in the study area and, 

18 after obtaining the participation of a non-Federal in19 terest, may study and recommend construction of 

20 additional measures, a separate project, or separable 

21 project element to achieve those benefits. 

22 (2) PRIMARILY ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION BEN23 EFITS.—In conducting a study of the feasibility of a 

24 project where the primary benefits are expected to 

25 be associated with ecosystem restoration, the Sec-
90

•HR 2864 EH 

1 retary may identify economic benefits that may be 

2 achieved in the study area and, after obtaining the 

3 participation of a non-Federal interest, may study 

4 and recommend construction of additional measures, 

5 a separate project, or separable project element to 

6 achieve those benefits. 

7 (3) RULES APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN MEAS8 URES, PROJECTS, AND ELEMENTS.—Any additional 

9 measures, separate project, or separable element 

10 identified under paragraph (1) or (2) and rec11 ommended for construction shall not be considered 

12 integral to the underlying project and, if authorized, 

13 shall be subject to a separate partnership agreement, 

14 unless a non-Federal interest agrees to share in the 

15 cost of the additional measures, project, or separable 

16 element. 

17 (c) CALCULATION OF BENEFITS AND COSTS FOR

18 FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION PROJECTS.—A feasibility 

19 study for a project for flood damage reduction shall in20 clude, as part of the calculation of benefits and costs—

21 (1) a calculation of the residual risk of flooding 

22 following completion of the proposed project; 

23 (2) a calculation of any upstream or down24 stream impacts of the proposed project; and
