Sec. 1266. Hudson River reclamation demonstration project

    (a) The Administrator is authorized to enter into contracts and 
other agreements with the State of New York to carry out a project to 
demonstrate methods for the selective removal of polychlorinated 
biphenyls contaminating bottom sediments of the Hudson River, treating 
such sediments as required, burying such sediments in secure landfills, 
and installing monitoring systems for such landfills. Such demonstration 
project shall be for the purpose of determining the feasibility of 
indefinite storage in secure landfills of toxic substances and of 
ascertaining the improvement of the rate of recovery of a toxic 
contaminated national waterway. No pollutants removed pursuant to this 
paragraph shall be placed in any landfill unless the Administrator first 
determines that disposal of the pollutants in such landfill would 
provide a higher standard of protection of the public health, safety, 
and welfare than disposal of such pollutants by any other method 
including, but not limited to, incineration or a chemical destruction 
process.
    (b) The Administrator is authorized to make grants to the State of 
New York to carry out this section from funds allotted to such State 
under section 1285(a) of this title, except that the amount of any such 
grant shall be equal to 75 per centum of the cost of the project and 
such grant shall be made on condition that non-Federal sources provide 
the remainder of the cost of such project. The authority of this section 
shall be available until September 30, 1983. Funds allotted to the State 
of New York under section 1285(a) of this title shall be available under 
this subsection only to the extent that funds are not available, as 
determined by the Administrator, to the State of New York for the work 
authorized by this section under section 1265 or 1321 of this title or a 
comprehensive hazardous substance response and clean up fund. Any funds 
used under the authority of this subsection shall be deducted from any 
estimate of the needs of the State of New York prepared under section 
1375 of this title. The Administrator may not obligate or expend more 
than $20,000,000 to carry out this section.
