-WETLANDS

(a) PRIORITY PROJECT LIST-
(1) PREPARATION OF LIST- Within forty-five days after the date of enactment
of this title, the Secretary shall convene the Task Force to initiate a
process to identify and prepare a list of coastal wetlands restoration
projects in Louisiana to provide for the long-term conservation of such
wetlands and dependent fish and wildlife populations in order of priority,
based on the cost-effectiveness of such projects in creating, restoring,
protecting, or enhancing coastal wetlands, taking into account the quality
of such coastal wetlands, with due allowance for small-scale projects
necessary to demonstrate the use of new techniques or materials for coastal
wetlands restoration.
(2) TASK FORCE PROCEDURES- The Secretary shall convene meetings of the Task
Force as appropriate to ensure that the list is produced and transmitted
annually to the Congress as required by this subsection. If necessary to
ensure transmittal of the list on a timely basis, the Task Force shall
produce the list by a majority vote of those Task Force members who are
present and voting; except that no coastal wetlands restoration project
shall be placed on the list without the concurrence of the lead Task Force
member that the project is cost effective and sound from an engineering
perspective.  Those projects which potentially impact navigation or flood
control on the lower Mississippi River System shall be constructed consistent
with section 304 of this Act.
(3) TRANSMITTAL OF LIST- No later than one year after the date of enactment
of this title, the Secretary shall transmit  to the Congress the list of
priority coastal wetlands restoration projects required by paragraph (1)
of this subsection. Thereafter, the list shall be updated annually by

coastal wetlands restoration project and the responsibilities of each other
participating Task Force member, an estimated timetable for the completion
of each coastal wetlands restoration project, and the estimated cost of
each project.
(B) PRE-PLAN- Prior to the date on which the plan required by subsection
(b) of this section becomes effective, such list shall include  only those
coastal wetlands restoration projects that can be substantially completed
during a five-year period commencing on the date the project is placed on
the list.
(C) Subsequent to the date on which the plan required by subsection (b)
of this section becomes effective, such list shall include only those
coastal wetlands restoration projects that have been identified in such plan.
(5) FUNDING- The Secretary shall, with the funds made available    in
accordance with section 306 of this title, allocate funds among the

factors as the Task Force deems appropriate to carry out the purposes of
this subsection.
(b) FEDERAL AND STATE PROJECT PLANNING-
(1) PLAN PREPARATION- The Task Force shall prepare a plan to identify
coastal wetlands restoration projects, in order of priority, based on the
cost-effectiveness of such projects in creating, restoring, protecting,
or enhancing the long-term conservation of coastal wetlands, taking into
account the quality of such coastal wetlands, with due allowance for
small-scale projects necessary to demonstrate the use of new techniques or
materials for coastal wetlands restoration. Such restoration plan shall
be completed within three years from the date of enactment of this title.
(2) PURPOSE OF THE PLAN- The purpose of the restoration plan is to develop
a comprehensive approach to restore and prevent the loss of, coastal
wetlands in Louisiana. Such plan shall coordinate and integrate coastal
wetlands restoration projects in a manner that will ensure the long-term
conservation of the coastal wetlands of Louisiana.
(3) INTEGRATION OF EXISTING PLANS- In developing the restoration plan,
the Task Force shall seek to integrate the `Louisiana Comprehensive Coastal
Wetlands Feasibility Study' conducted by the Secretary of the Army and the
`Coastal Wetlands Conservation and Restoration Plan' prepared by the State
of Louisiana's Wetlands Conservation and Restoration Task Force.
(4) ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN- The restoration plan developed pursuant to this
subsection shall include--
(A) identification of the entire area in the State that contains coastal
wetlands;
(B) identification, by map or other means, of coastal areas in Louisiana
in need of coastal wetlands restoration projects;
(C) identification of high priority coastal wetlands restoration projects
in Louisiana needed to address the areas identified in subparagraph (B)
and that would provide for the long-term conservation of restored wetlands
and dependent fish and wildlife populations;
(D) a listing of such coastal wetlands restoration projects, in order of
priority, to be submitted  annually, incorporating any project identified
previously in lists  produced and submitted under subsection (a) of this
section;
(E) a detailed description of each proposed coastal wetlands restoration
project, including a justification for including such project on the list;
(F) the proposed activities to be carried out pursuant to each coastal
wetlands restoration project;

the Congress containing a scientific evaluation of the effectiveness of
the coastal wetlands restoration projects carried out under the plan in
creating, restoring, protecting and enhancing coastal wetlands in Louisiana.
(c) COASTAL WETLANDS RESTORATION PROJECT BENEFITS- Where such a determination
is required under applicable law, the net ecological, aesthetic, and cultural
benefits, together with the economic benefits, shall be deemed to exceed
the costs of any coastal wetlands restoration project within the State which
the Task Force finds to contribute significantly to wetlands restoration.
(d) CONSISTENCY- (1) In implementing, maintaining, modifying,
or rehabilitating navigation, flood control or irrigation projects,
other than emergency actions, under other authorities, the Secretary,
in consultation with the Director and the Administrator,  shall ensure
that such actions are consistent with the purposes of the restoration plan
submitted pursuant to this section.
(2) At the request of the Governor of the State of Louisiana, the Secretary
of Commerce shall approve the plan as an amendment to the State's coastal

section 306 of this title for any coastal wetlands restoration project under
this section shall be 85 percent of the cost of the project. In the event
that the Secretary, the Director,  and the Administrator jointly determine
that the State is not taking reasonable steps to implement and administer
a conservation plan developed and approved pursuant to this title, amounts
made available in accordance with section 306 of this title for any coastal
wetlands restoration project shall revert to 75 percent of the cost of the
project: Provided, however, that such reversion to the lower cost share
level shall not occur until the Governor has been provided notice of,
and opportunity for hearing on, any such determination by the Secretary,
the Director, and Administrator, and the State has been given ninety days
from such notice or hearing to take corrective action.
(3) FORM OF STATE SHARE- The share of the cost required of the State shall
be from a non-Federal source. Such State share shall consist of a cash
contribution of not less than 5 percent of the cost of the project. The
balance of such State share may take the form of lands, easements, or
right-of-way, or any other form of in-kind contribution determined to be
appropriate by the lead Task Force member.

projects from funds made available for that purpose.
(b) PRIORITY- Subject to the cost-sharing requirements of this section,
the Director may grant or otherwise provide any matching moneys to any
coastal State which submits a proposal substantial in character and design
to carry out a coastal wetlands conservation project. In awarding such

moneys to a coastal State for purposes of carrying out a coastal wetlands
conservation project if the grant or provision is subject to terms and
conditions that will ensure that any real property  interest acquired in
whole or in part, or enhanced, managed, or restored with such moneys will
be administered for the long-term conservation of such lands and waters
and the fish and wildlife dependent thereon.
(d) COST-SHARING-
(1) FEDERAL SHARE- Grants to coastal States of matching moneys by the
Director for any fiscal year to carry out coastal wetlands conservation
projects shall be used  for the payment of not to exceed 50 percent  of

be used for   payment of not to exceed 75 percent of the costs  of such
projects if a coastal State has established a trust  fund, from which the
principal is not spent, for the purpose of acquiring coastal wetlands,
other natural area or open spaces.
(2) FORM OF STATE SHARE- The matching moneys required  of a costal State
to carry out  a coastal wetlands conservation project shall be derived
