The Secretary of the Army is authorized to receive from States
and political subdivisions thereof, such funds as may be
contributed by them to be expended in connection with funds
appropriated by the United States for any authorized flood control
or environmental restoration work whenever such work and
expenditure may be considered by the Secretary of the Army, on
recommendation of the Chief of Engineers, as advantageous in the
public interest, and the plans for any reservoir project may, in
the discretion of the Secretary of the Army, on recommendation of
the Chief of Engineers, be modified to provide additional storage
capacity for domestic water supply or other conservation storage,
on condition that the cost of such increased storage capacity is
contributed by local agencies and that the local agencies agree to
utilize such additional storage capacity in a manner consistent
with Federal uses and purposes: Provided, That when contributions
made by States and political subdivisions thereof, are in excess of
the actual cost of the work contemplated and properly chargeable to
such contributions, such excess contributions may, with the
approval of the Secretary of the Army, be returned to the proper
representatives of the contributing interests.
