SHORELINE PROTECTION.

SEC. 1076. SHORELINE PROTECTION. The project for shoreline protection, Atlantic Coast of New York City from Rockaway Inlet to Norton Point, authorized by section 501(a) of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99–662; 100 Stat. 4135), is modified to authorize the Secretary to construct the project at a total first cost of $69,200,000, based on the New York District Engineer's draft General Design Memorandum dated April 1991, with an estimated first Federal cost of $39,800,000 and an estimated non-Federal cost of $29,400,000, and an average annual cost of $580,000 for periodic nourishment over the life of the project, with an estimated annual Federal cost of $377,000 and an estimated annual non-Federal cost of $203,000. The Secretary shall proceed with the storm damage reduction measures as the first construction feature. The project is further modified to authorize the Secretary to relocate existing comfort and lifeguard stations at full Federal expense, provided such relocations are desired by the non-Federal sponsor. Operation and maintenance of the facilities after relocation will be a non-Federal responsibility. The cost of these relocations shall not be treated as a project cost for purposes of either economic evaluation or project cost-sharing of the project.
