Sec. 83. (a) The project for Bonneville Lock and Dam, Columbia River, Oregon and Washington, authorized by the Act of August 30, 1935 (49 Stat. 1028) and the Act of August 20, 1937 (50 Stat. 731) is hereby modified to authorize the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, in connection with the construction of the Bonneville second powerhouse, to relocate the town of North Bonneville, Washington, to a new townsite. (b) As part of such relocation, the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, is authorized to cooperate in the planning of a new town with other Federal agencies and appropriate non-Federal interests; to acquire lands necessary for the new town and to convey title to said lands to individuals, business or other entities, and to the town as appropriate; and to construct a central sewage collection and treatment facility and other necessary municipal facilities. (c) The compensation paid to any individual or entity for the taking of property under this section shall be the amount due such individual or entity under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 less the fair market value of the real property conveyed to such individual or entity in the new town. Municipal facilities provided under the authority of this section shall be substitute facilities which serve reasonably as well as those in the existing town of North Bonneville except that they shall be constructed to such higher standards as may be necessary to comply with applicable Federal and State laws. Additional facilities may be constructed, or higher standards utilized, only at the expense of appropriate non-Federal interests. (d) Before the Secretary of the Army acquires any real property for the new townsite appropriate non-Federal interests shall furnish binding contractual commitments that all lots in the new townsite will be either occupied when available, will be replacements for open space and vacant lots in the existing town, or will be purchased by non-Federal interests at the fair market value.
