**(b) Definitions** In this section:
(1) **Alternative water source project** — The term “alternative water source project” means a project designed to provide municipal, industrial, and agricultural water supplies in an environmentally sustainable manner by conserving, managing, reclaiming, or reusing water, wastewater, or stormwater or by treating wastewater or stormwater for groundwater recharge, potable reuse, or other purposes. Such term does not include water treatment or distribution facilities.
(2) **Critical water supply needs** — The term “critical water supply needs” means existing or reasonably anticipated future water supply needs that cannot be met by existing water supplies, as identified in a comprehensive statewide or regional water supply plan or assessment projected over a planning period of at least 20 years.

TITLE 33—NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS
§ 1299
any treatment works the Administrator shall
determine that the facilities plan of which such
treatment works are a part constitutes the most
economical and cost-effective combination of
treatment works over the life of the project to
meet the requirements of this chapter, includ-
ing, but not limited to, consideration of con-
struction costs, operation, maintenance, and re-
placement costs.
(c) Value engineering review
In furtherance of the policy set forth in sub-
section (a) of this section, the Administrator
shall require value engineering review in con-
nection with any treatment works, prior to ap-
proval of any grant for the erection, building,
acquisition, alteration, remodeling, improve-
ment, or extension of such treatment works, in
any case in which the cost of such erection,
building, acquisition, alteration, remodeling,
improvement, or extension is projected to be in
excess of $10,000,000. For purposes of this sub-
section, the term ‘‘value engineering review’’
means a specialized cost control technique
which uses a systematic and creative approach
to identify and to focus on unnecessarily high
cost in a project in order to arrive at a cost sav-
ing without sacrificing the reliability or effi-
ciency of the project.
(d) Projects affected
This section applies to projects for waste
treatment and management for which no treat-
ment works including a facilities plan for such
project have received Federal financial assist-
ance for the preparation of construction plans
and specifications under this chapter before De-
cember 29, 1981.
