The managers recognize that the cost sharing for the Howard
Hanson Dam project could appropriately be affected by the
recent listing of the Puget Sound Chinook Salmon as a
protected species under the Endangered Species Act. The
United States Department of Commerce, National Marine
Fisheries Service, has stated its intent to consult with both
the Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Tacoma concerning
responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act as it
relates to the Howard Hanson Dam project and the City of
Tacoma water diversion project. One of the purposes of the
project being authorized is to develop a fish passage for
downstream migration of salmon. When this consultation
process is completed, the appropriate cost sharing allocation
for the project may be different from that stated in the

understanding of the managers that the Secretary, after
consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, will, if
appropriate, revise the allocation of cost sharing found in
the final report of the Chief of Engineers to reflect the
responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act for the
protection of the threatened Puget Sound Chinook Salmon.

The conferees understand that the Transportation Equity Act
for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-206) included funding for the
design and construction of a facility for safe pedestrian
access, specifically an esplanade in the vicinity of Joseph
G. Minish Waterfront Park, Newark, New Jersey. The conferees
understand it is the intent of the local proponents that the
esplanade is to have an overall width of 600 feet. The
conferees encourage the Corps of Engineers to provide
appropriate technical assistance in the planning of such
project to ensure its coordination with existing Corps'
projects and activities along the Passaic River.
