        separable element thereof, by the Secretary of the Army, acting 
        through the Chief of Engineers, or by a non-Federal interest 
        where such interest will be reimbursed for such construction 
        under any provision of law, shall not be commenced until each 
        non-Federal interest has entered into a written partnership 
        agreement with the district engineer for the district in which 
        the project will be carried out under which each party agrees 
        to carry out its responsibilities and requirements for 
        implementation or construction of the project or the 
        appropriate element of the project, as the case may be; except 
        that no such agreement shall be required if the Secretary 
        determines that the administrative costs associated with

        agreement entered into by a State, or a body politic of the 
        State which derives its powers from the State constitution, or 
        a governmental entity created by the State legislature, the 
        agreement may reflect that it does not obligate future 
        appropriations for such performance and payment when obligating 
        future appropriations would be inconsistent with constitutional 
        or statutory limitations of the State or a political 
        subdivision of the State.

        activities are completed on a publicly available schedule 
        determined by the Director of Independent Review for the 
        purposes of assuring the public safety. The Director of 
        Independent Review shall ensure that these reviews be carried 
        out in a way to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, 
        while not causing unnecessary delays in construction 
        activities.
            (4) Safety assurance review record.--After receiving a 
        written report from an independent panel of experts established 
        under this subsection, the Secretary shall--

SEC. 2008. MITIGATION FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE LOSSES.

    (a) Completion of Mitigation.--Section 906(a) of the Water 
Resources Development Act of 1986 (33 U.S.C. 2283(a)) is amended by 
adding at the following:
            ``(3) Completion of mitigation.--In any case in which it is 
        not technically practicable to complete mitigation by the last 
        day of construction of the project or separable element of the 
        project because of the nature of the mitigation to be 
        undertaken, the Secretary shall complete the required 
        mitigation as expeditiously as practicable, but in no case 
        later than the last day of the first fiscal year beginning 
        after the last day of construction of the project or separable 
        element of the project.''.
    (b) Use of Consolidated Mitigation.--Section 906(b) of the Water 
Resources Development Act of 1986 (33 U.S.C. 2283(b)) is amended by 
adding at the end the following:
            ``(3) Use of consolidated mitigation.--
                    ``(A) In general.--If the Secretary determines that 
                other forms of compensatory mitigation are not 
                practicable or are less environmentally desirable, the 
                Secretary may purchase available credits from a 
                mitigation bank or conservation bank that is approved 
                in accordance with the Federal Guidance for the 
                Establishment, Use and Operation of Mitigations Banks 
                (60 Fed. Reg. 58605) or other applicable Federal laws

                practicable, the service area of the mitigation bank or 
                conservation bank shall be in the same watershed as the 
                affected habitat.
                    ``(C) Responsibility relieved.--Purchase of credits 
                from a mitigation bank or conservation bank for a water 
                resources project relieves the Secretary and the non-
                Federal interest from responsibility for monitoring or 
                demonstrating mitigation success.''.
    (c) Mitigation Requirements.--Section 906(d) of the Water Resources

                environmental impact statement, or environmental 
                assessment contains''; and
                    (B) in the second sentence, by inserting ``, and 
                other habitat types are mitigated to not less than in-
                kind conditions'' after ``mitigated in-kind''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following:
