                      TITLE I--GENERAL PROVISIONS

SEC. 101. SCOPE OF FEASIBILITY STUDIES.

    (a) Flood and Coastal Storm Risk Management.--In carrying out a 
feasibility study for a project for flood or coastal storm risk 
management, the Secretary, at the request of the non-Federal interest 
for the study, shall formulate alternatives to maximize net benefits 
from the reduction of the comprehensive flood risk that is identified 
through a holistic evaluation of the isolated and compound effects of--
            (1) a riverine discharge of any magnitude or frequency;
            (2) inundation, wave attack, and erosion coinciding with a 
        hurricane or coastal storm;
            (3) a tide of any magnitude or frequency;
            (4) a rainfall event of any magnitude or frequency;
            (5) seasonal variation in water levels;
            (6) groundwater emergence;
            (7) sea level rise;
            (8) subsidence; or
            (9) any other driver of flood risk affecting the study 
        area.
    (b) Water Supply, Water Supply Conservation, and Drought Risk 
Reduction.--In carrying out a feasibility study for any purpose, the 
Secretary, at the request of the non-Federal interest for the study, 
shall formulate alternatives--
            (1) to maximize combined net benefits for the primary 
        purpose of the study and for water supply, water supply 
        conservation, and drought risk reduction; or
            (2) to include 1 or more measures for the purpose of water 
        supply, water supply conservation, or drought risk reduction.
    (c) Cost Sharing.--All costs to carry out a feasibility study in 
accordance with this section shall be shared in accordance with the 
cost share requirements otherwise applicable to the study.

SEC. 102. SHORELINE AND RIVERBANK PROTECTION AND RESTORATION MISSION.

    (a) Declaration of Policy.--Congress declares that--
            (1) consistent with the civil works mission of the Corps of 
        Engineers, it is the policy of the United States to protect and 
        restore the shorelines, riverbanks, and streambanks of the 
        United States from the damaging impacts of extreme weather 
        events and other factors contributing to the vulnerability of 
        coastal and riverine communities and ecosystems;
            (2) the Chief of Engineers shall give priority 
        consideration to the protection and restoration of shorelines, 
        riverbanks, and streambanks from erosion and other damaging 
        impacts of extreme weather events in carrying out the civil 
        works mission of the Corps of Engineers;
            (3) to the maximum extent practicable, projects and 
        measures for the protection and restoration of shorelines, 
        riverbanks, and streambanks shall be formulated to increase the 
        resilience of such shores and banks from the damaging impacts 
        of extreme weather events and other factors contributing to the 
        vulnerability of coastal and riverine communities and 
        ecosystems using measures described in section 1184(a) of the 
        Water Resources Development Act of 2016 (33 U.S.C. 2289a(a)); 
        and
            (4) to the maximum extent practicable, periodic nourishment 
        shall be provided, in accordance with subsection (c) of the 
        first section of the Act of August 13, 1946 (60 Stat. 1056, 
        chapter 960; 33 U.S.C. 426e(c)), and subject to section 156 of

        5f), for projects and measures carried out for the purpose of 
        restoring and increasing the resilience of ecosystems to the 
        same extent as periodic nourishment is provided for projects 
        and measures carried out for the purpose of coastal storm risk 
        management.
