§59dd — Title 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters | U.S. Code

Summary

Declares a specific parcel in Cleveland Harbor (City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio) — measuring 174,764 square feet (4.012 acres) — to be nonnavigable federal water unless the Secretary of the Army, after talking with local and regional public officials, finds the proposed projects there are not in the public interest. That nonnavigable status only applies to parts that are or will be bulkheaded, filled, or used for permanent structures (including marinas). Any such work must follow applicable federal laws, including the listed sections of this title (sections 401, 403, and 1344) and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. If, 20 years from December 18, 1991, the area or any part of it is not so filled or occupied, or if permitted work does not begin within 5 years after a permit is issued, the nonnavigable declaration for that area ends.
