_______________________________________________________________________

                                 AN ACT

 
   To provide for the construction, operation, and maintenance of an 
              arterial road in St. Louis County, Missouri.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. PROJECT DEFINED.

    In this Act, the term ``project'' means only the portion of St. 
Louis County, Missouri, arterial road 1151 that is deed-restricted 
property, which specifically applies to approximately 0.3 acres and 540 
lineal feet and is identified as the ``FEMA'' route in the document 
entitled ``Lemay Connector Road for Long-Term Recovery, Recreational 
Enhancements, & Community, & Economic Development'', dated June 1, 
2006, on file with the St. Louis County department of highways and 
traffic.

SEC. 2. APPLICABILITY OF CERTAIN FEDERAL LAW.

    The St. Louis County arterial road 1151, known as the ``Lemay 
Connector Road'' in St. Louis City and County, Missouri, may be 
constructed, operated, and maintained over the deed-restricted property 
described in section 1, notwithstanding section 404(b)(2) of the Robert 
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 
5170c) or Public Law 103-211 and any easement or other similar 
restriction pursuant to those Federal laws on the development of 
property that requires the property be maintained for open space, 
recreation, or wetland management.

SEC. 3. NO DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON FLOOD PLAIN.

    For the project, St. Louis County, Missouri, shall ensure that the 
project is constructed, operated, and maintained in such a manner that 
would not cause any future additional flood damage that would not have 
occurred without the project. Prior to constructing the project, St. 
Louis County or its assignee must identify and agree to restrict a 
nearby parcel of land of equal or greater size to the deed restricted 
land used for the project so that such parcel is maintained for open 
space, recreation, or wetland management.

SEC. 4. LIABILITY FOR FLOOD DAMAGE.

    The Federal Government shall not be liable for future flood damage 
that is caused by the project. St. Louis County, Missouri, or its 
assignee shall be liable for any future flood damage that is caused by 
the project.

SEC. 5. NO FUTURE DISASTER ASSISTANCE.

    The deed-restricted property described in section 1 is not eligible 
for any future disaster assistance from any other Federal source.

            Passed the House of Representatives February 27, 2007.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
