(2) Borrow Areas. Similarly, when a borrow area is provided
by the sponsor as part of LERRD, the resource invested by the sponsor
and available for credit against its share of project costs, is the
net cost of the borrow area, which reflects the change in fair market
value of the borrow area before and after its use. Only the net cost
should be included in project evaluations and credited against the
non-Federal cost sharing responsibilities. If a sponsor makes
available a borrow area already in its ownership, the net value for
crediting purposes will be established on the basis of borrow area
appraisals before and after use for project borrow. Normally no
credit will be given when offshore borrow areas are used, since the
before and after market values are considered identical.
6-11. Aquatic Plant Control (Section 103(c)(6) of WRDA 1986). Costs
are shared 50 percent Federal, 50 percent non-Federal (see paragraph
21-1).
6-12. Water Quality Enhancement (Section 103(d) of WRDA 1986). This
legislation provides new cost sharing policy for water quality
enhancement. The costs of measures for water quality enhancement are
to be assigned to the appropriate project purposes and shared in the
same percentage as the purposes to which the costs are assigned.
Normally, costs for water quality enhancement will be assigned to the
purposes of M&I and/or agricultural water supply, recreation, or
fisheries enhancement.
6-13. Fish and Wildlife Mitigation (Section 906(c) of WRDA 1986).
Costs incurred after 17 November 1986 will be allocated among the
authorized purposes which caused the requirement for mitigation, and
cost shared to the same extent as other project costs allocated to
these purposes. However, no cost sharing will be imposed without the
consent of the non-Federal sponsor where contracts have previously
been signed for repayment of costs unless such contracts are complied
with or renegotiated. Non-Federal sponsors are also required to
provide all LERRD where this is a requirement of the purpose which
necessitates the mitigation, except where it is otherwise agreed that
the Corps will provide them using non-Federal funds.
6-14. Fish and Wildlife Enhancement (Section 906(e) of WRDA 1986 as
amended by Section 107(b) of WRDA 1992).
a. When the Secretary of the Army recommends fish and wildlife
enhancement in reports to Congress, the first costs are all Federal
when any of the following apply (different provisions may apply to
previously completed or authorized projects; see paragraph 19-5.b):
(1)
Enhancement benefits are determined to be national in
character;
(2) Enhancement is designed to benefit species that have been
listed as threatened or endangered by the Secretary of the Interior;
or
(3) Enhancement activities will be located on lands managed as
a national wildlife refuge.
