CHAPTER 15--FLOOD CONTROL
Sec. 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.
