U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 426j. Placement on State beaches of sand dredged in constructing and maintaining navigation inlets and channels adjacent to such beaches
The Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers,
is authorized upon request of the State, to place on the beaches of
such State beach-quality sand which has been dredged in
constructing and maintaining navigation inlets and channels
adjacent to such beaches, if the Secretary deems such action to be
in the public interest and upon payment by such State of 35 percent
of the increased cost thereof above the cost required for
alternative methods of disposing of such sand. At the request of
the State, the Secretary may enter into an agreement with a
political subdivision of the State to place sand on the beaches of
the political subdivision of the State under the same terms and
conditions required in the first sentence of this section; except
that the political subdivision shall be responsible for providing
any payments required under such sentence in lieu of the State. In
carrying out this section, the Secretary shall give consideration
to the schedule of the State, or the schedule of the responsible
political subdivision of the requesting State, for providing its
share of funds for placing such sand on the beaches of the State or
the political subdivision and shall, to the maximum extent
practicable, accommodate such schedule.
