U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 701d. Compacts between States; consent of Congress
The consent of Congress is given to any two or more States to
enter into compacts or agreements in connection with any project or
operation authorized by this Act for flood control or the
prevention of damage to life or property by reason of floods upon
any stream or streams and their tributaries which lie in two or
more such States, for the purpose of providing, in such manner and
such proportion as may be agreed upon by such States and approved
by the Secretary of the Army, funds for construction and
maintenance, for the payment of damages, and for the purchase of
rights-of-way, lands, and easements in connection with such project
or operation. No such compact or agreement shall become effective
without the further consent or ratification of Congress, except a
compact or agreement which provides that all money to be expended
pursuant thereto and all work to be performed thereunder shall be
expended and performed by the Department of the Army, with the
exception of such reasonable sums as may be reserved by the States
entering into the compact or agreement for the purpose of
collecting taxes and maintaining the necessary State organizations
for carrying out the compact or agreement.
