For ecosystem restoration projects or separable elements, or an environmental part of a multiple purpose project.
2
Implementation Costs: LERRDs, post-feasibility phase design, including plans and specifications, materials, and project construction.

Work-in-kind may not result in reimbursement of sponsor when combined with LERRDs for Section 1135 and Section 206. The PCA must be executed before initiation of the
work-in- kind for Section 1135 and Section 206. The dollar value of the work-in-kind will be established prior to the initiation of the in-kind effort.

If LERRDs are greater than the required non-Federal share, the sponsor may be reimbursed for the increment over its required share.

Where the project is on Corps project lands, there may be instances in which it may be appropriate for the Corps to perform the OMRR&R as part of the current OMRR&R.

Per consultation with the Department of Interior, funds from the following may not be used by states as the non-Federal share: Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act
(Pittman-Robertson), Federal Aid in Sport Fisheries Restoration Act (Dingel-Johnson), and North American Wetlands Conservation Act (Mitchell Bill) funds.

Per Section 203 of WRDA 92, voluntary contributions of cash, funds, materials, and services may be accepted from sources, including governmental entities, but excluding
the project sponsor. Any cash or funds received per this provision are to be deposited into the account in the U.S. Treasury entitled "Contributions and Advances, Rivers and Harbors, Corps
of Engineers (8662) and shall be available until expended to carry out the ecosystem restoration project.
