Water Resources Development Act of 1988

Summary

Water Resources Development Act of 1988 - Title I: Project Authorizations - Authorizes the Secretary of the Army to carry out specified public works projects at the following locations: (1) navigation, Ft. Pierce Harbor, Florida; (2) beach erosion control, Nassau County (Amelia Island), Florida; (3) navigation, Lower Ohio River, Illinois and Kentucky; (4) flood control, Hazard, Kentucky; (5) environmental enhancement, Mississippi and Louisiana Estuarine Areas, Mississippi and Louisiana; (6) navigation, Wolf and Jordan Rivers and Bayou Portage, Mississippi; (7) flood control, Truckee Meadows, Nevada; (8) flood control, Scioto River, West Columbus, Ohio; (9) navigation, Delaware River, Philadelphia to Wilmington, Pennsylvania and Delaware; (10) flood control, Cypress Creek, Texas; and (11) navigation, Guadalupe River to Victoria, Texas. Makes such projects subject to current law with respect to the maximum costs of projects and project deauthorizations. Modifies the project for flood control at Redwood River, Marshall, Minnesota, to authorize the Secretary to construct the project in accordance with a specified memorandum and at increased costs. Title II: General Provisions - Amends the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 to provide for crediting utility relocation costs of harbor construction borne by non-Federal interests toward the additional ten percent payment they are assessed for the cost of general navigation features of a project over 30 years. Revises provisions implementing the transfer of land near the Garrison Dam and Reservoir Project in North Dakota to the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation. Allows a Federal Project Repayment District to use any cost-recovery approach that is consistent with State law to satisfy cost-recovery requirements. (Currently, such districts are restricted to cost-recovery through property transfer fees.) Requires non-Federal interests to agree to comply with applicable Federal flood plain management and flood insurance programs before construction of any project for shoreline protection. Requires the Secretary, when feasible, to promote long- and short-term cost savings, increased efficiency, reliability, safety, and improved environmental results through the use of innovative technology in water resources development projects. Requires the Secretary to report to the Congress within two years of enactment of this Act on the use of such technologies. Directs the Secretary, upon the request of a non-Federal sponsor of a water resources development project, to provide such sponsor with periodic statements of project expenditures. Requires the Federal Government to bear the proportionate share of the costs of any project for harbor development that provides direct, quantifiable benefits to an installation, facility, or vessel of the U.S. armed forces or the Coast Guard. Directs the Comptroller General of the General Accounting Office to report to the Congress on a review of the Civil Works Program of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Title III: Programs and Studies - Amends the Water Resources Development Act of 1974 to establish an annual program ceiling cost for the New York Harbor project for the collection and removal of drift. Authorizes appropriations for the Secretary to establish a Technical Resource Service for the Red River Basin in Minnesota and North Dakota, for the purpose of providing technical services for the development and implementation of State and local water and related land resources initiatives. Directs the Secretary, in cooperation with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, to report to the Congress on a study of the water quality effects of hydroelectric facilities owned and operated by the Corps of Engineers.
