Summary
Clarifying Easement Requirements for Existing Projects Act
This bill modifies provisions requiring the Army Corps of Engineers to acquire easements in certain privately owned beaches. For example, with respect to a qualifying private beach that benefits from certain federal projects, the bill requires the Corps of Engineers to permit a nonfederal interest to periodically obtain a right of entry to the private beach to perform project-related activities, rather than requiring the nonfederal interest to obtain a permanent easement.
