§2226 Water resources projects on Federal land
Title 33 › Chapter CHAPTER 36— - WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT › Subchapter SUBCHAPTER I— - COST SHARING › § 2226
Summary
The Secretary can carry out a water project on federal land run by another agency if a non‑Federal partner paid to buy that land, but only after that partner signs an agreement with the agency that includes terms the Secretary requires. This does not change the project's non‑Federal cost‑sharing requirements.
