Water Projects Cost Sharing Plan Backed by Senate and White House
Senate Republicans and the Reagan administration agreed on a plan requiring local governments and businesses to share part of the cost of future Army Corps of Engineers water projects. The framework sets local cost shares from 25 to 35 percent for flood control and 50 percent or more for recreation and beach erosion, with harbor dredging split evenly. The deal also doubles the fuel tax from 10 to 20 cents per gallon over 10 years and taxes at 0.04 percent on imports and exports moving by ship. Local sponsors, governments, and regional agencies would bear the shares.
