Pub. L. 93-251, tit. I, sec. 60

Sec. 60. The Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, is authorized and directed to perform channel cleanout operations and snagging and clearing for selected streams where chronic and persistent flood conditions exist in the lower Guyandot River Basin, West Virginia, for the purpose of improving channel capacities, visual environment, and human well-being all in the interest of flood control. Such operations shall be performed as an interim measure pending completion of the R. D. Bailey Lake project at a total cost not to exceed $2,000,000. Appropriate non-Federal interests as determined by the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, shall, prior to initiation of remedial operations, agree in accordance with the provisions of section 221 of the Flood Control Act of 1970 that they will furnish the necessary lands, disposal areas, easements, and rights-of-way, and hold and save the United States free from damages due to the cleanout operations.
