On request of the Commonwealth of Virginia or the District of Columbia, as applicable, the Secretary of the Interior (acting through the Director of the National Park Service) (referred to in this section as the “Secretary”) may convey to the State of Virginia and/or the District of Columbia, subject to any terms and conditions the Secretary deems necessary, any Federal land or interests therein under the jurisdiction of the Secretary that are identified by the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or the District of Columbia as necessary for the Long Bridge Project, which consists of improvements to Long Bridge and related railroad infrastructure between RO Interlocking in Arlington, Virginia and L’Enfant Interlocking near 10th Street SW in the District.
The Long Bridge Project will expand commuter and regional passenger rail service and provide bicycle and pedestrian access crossings over the Potomac River. Such conveyance is for the sole purposes of railroad and recreational use. If such conveyance is no longer being used for such purposes, then the lands or interests therein shall revert to the National Park Service after they have been restored and remediated to the satisfaction of the Secretary. The Secretary may also permit the temporary use of any additional land that is identified as necessary for the construction of these projects, subject to any terms and conditions deemed necessary.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the National Park Service may recover and retain all costs of providing or procuring necessary services associated with the aforementioned conveyances or special use permits and said amounts shall be available to the Service until expended, without further appropriation.
