The Secretary may provide assistance for a project under this section only if the project is publicly owned. Before providing assistance under this section to a non-Federal interest, the Secretary shall enter into a partnership agreement under section 221 of the Flood Control Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 1962d-5b) with the non-Federal interest with respect to the project to be carried out with such assistance. Each partnership agreement for a project entered into under this subsection shall provide for the following:
Development by the Secretary, in consultation with appropriate Federal and State officials, of a facilities or resource protection and development plan, including appropriate engineering plans and specifications. Establishment of such legal and institutional structures as are necessary to ensure the effective long-term operation of the project by the non-Federal interest. The Federal share of the cost of a project carried out under this section— shall be 75 percent; and may be provided in the form of grants or reimbursements of project costs.

Notwithstanding section 221(a)(4)(G) of the Flood Control Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 1962d-5b(a)(4)(G)), the non-Federal interest shall receive credit for land, easements, rights-of-way, and relocations toward the non-Federal share of project cost (including all reasonable costs associated with obtaining permits necessary for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the project on publicly owned or controlled land), but such credit may not exceed 25 percent of total project costs.
The non-Federal share of operation and maintenance costs for projects constructed with assistance provided under this section shall be 100 percent.
