U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1252a. Reservoir projects, water storage; modification; storage for other than for water quality, opinion of Federal agency, committee resolutions of approval; provisions inapplicable to projects with certain prescribed water quality benefits in relation to total project benefits
In the case of any reservoir project authorized for construction
by the Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation, or other Federal
agency when the Administrator of the Environmental Protection
Agency determines pursuant to section 1252(b) of this title that
any storage in such project for regulation of streamflow for water
quality is not needed, or is needed in a different amount, such
project may be modified accordingly by the head of the appropriate
agency, and any storage no longer required for water quality may be
utilized for other authorized purposes of the project when, in the
opinion of the head of such agency, such use is justified. Any such
modification of a project where the benefits attributable to water
quality are 15 per centum or more but not greater than 25 per
centum of the total project benefits shall take effect only upon
the adoption of resolutions approving such modification by the
appropriate committees of the Senate and House of Representatives.
The provisions of the section shall not apply to any project where
the benefits attributable to water quality exceed 25 per centum of
the total project benefits.
