group of projects within a geographic region if appro-
priate, for the acquisition, design, construction, man-
agement, or operation of a dredged material proc-
essing, treatment, or disposal facility (including any 
facility used to demonstrate potential beneficial uses 
of dredged material) using funds provided in whole or 
in part by the Federal Government. One or more of 
the parties of the agreement may perform the acquisi-
tion, design, construction, management, or operation

posal facility. If appropriate, the Secretary may com-
bine portions of separate construction or maintenance

sponsor of a Federal navigation project may seek 
credit for funds provided in the acquisition, de-
sign, construction, management, or operation of 
a dredged material processing, treatment, or dis-
posal facility to the extent the facility is used to 
manage dredged material from the Federal navi-
gation project. The non-Federal sponsor shall be 
responsible for providing all necessary lands, 
easements, rights-of-way, or relocations associ-
ated with the facility and shall receive credit for

harbor would be consumed within the community 
served by the harbor and navigation improvement; 
and 
(3) the long-term viability of the community 
would be threatened without the harbor and naviga-
tion improvement.
