Sec. 2.
The Department of Natural Resources, as successor to the
Department of Public Works and Buildings and the Department of
Transportation, is authorized to enter into contracts
with any agency of the United States Government as may be necessary for the
purpose of reimbursing the United States, in accordance with the Federal
Water Supply Act of 1958 as amended, for the construction costs and the
annual operation and maintenance costs allocated to water-supply storage
in the improvements referred to in Section 1 of this Act; provided, however,
that costs shall be limited to the increased cost of the project which the
United States Government incurs in providing features of construction,
operation
and maintenance that result in benefits peculiar to the people of this State
as allowed by federal law and regulations. Any rights under such contracts
may be assigned to the Rend Lake Conservancy District by the
Department, provided that no contract or agreement shall be entered into
without the written consent of the Governor.
