Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
The surveys of navigable streams shall include such stream-flow measurements and other investigations of the watersheds as may be necessary for preparation of plans of improvement and a proper consideration of all uses of the stream affecting navigation, and whenever necessary similar investigations may be made in connection with all navigable streams under improvement. Whenever permission for the construction of dams in navigable streams is granted, or is under consideration by Congress, such surveys and investigations of the sections of the streams affected may be made as are necessary to secure conformity with rational plans for the improvement of the streams for navigation.

Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
In all cases where preliminary examinations and surveys are authorized a preliminary examination of the river, harbor, or other proposed improvement mentioned shall first be made and a report as to the advisability of its improvement shall be submitted unless a survey or estimate is expressly directed. If upon such preliminary examination the proposed improvement is not deemed advisable, no further action shall be taken thereon without the further direction of Congress; but in case the report shall be favorable to such proposed improvement, or that a survey and estimate should be made to determine the advisability of improvement, the Secretary of the Army is authorized, in his discretion, to cause surveys to be made, and the cost and advisability to be reported to Congress. And such reports containing plans and estimates shall also contain a statement as to the rate at which the work should be prosecuted: Provided, That every report submitted to Congress, in addition to full information regarding the present and prospective commercial importance of the project covered by the report and the benefit to commerce likely to result from any proposed plan of improvement, shall also contain such data as it may be practicable to secure in regard to the following subjects:
**(a)** The existence and establishment of both private and public terminal and transfer facilities contiguous to the navigable water proposed to be improved, and, if water terminals have been constructed, the general location, description, and use made of the same, with an opinion as to their adequacy and efficiency, whether private or public. If no public terminals have been constructed, or if they are inadequate in number, there shall be included in the report an opinion in general terms as to the necessity

TITLE 33—NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS
§ 546
(c) Such other subjects as may be properly
connected with such project: Provided, That in
the investigation and study of these questions
consideration shall be given only to their bear-
ing upon the improvement of navigation, to the
possibility and desirability of their being coordi-
nated in a logical and proper manner with im-
provements for navigation to lessen the cost of
such improvements and to compensate the Gov-
ernment for expenditures made in the interest of
navigation, and to their relation to the develop-
ment and regulation of commerce: Provided fur-
ther, That the investigation and study of these
questions may, upon review by the Board of En-
gineers for Rivers and Harbors when called for
as provided by law, be extended to any work of
improvement under way and to any locality the
examination and survey of which has heretofore
been, or may hereafter be, authorized by Con-
gress.
