  CHAPTER 12--RECLAMATION AND IRRIGATION OF LANDS BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
 
                   SUBCHAPTER IX--CONSTRUCTION CHARGES
 
Sec. 466. Surveys to correct errors or inequalities in original 
        basis of project
        
    On each project existing prior to December 5, 1924, where, in the 
opinion of the Secretary, it appears that on account of lack of 
fertility in the soil, an inadequate water supply, or other physical 
causes, settlers are unable to pay construction costs, or whenever it 
appears that the cost of any reclamation project by reason of error or 
mistake or for any cause has been apportioned or charged upon a smaller 
area of land than the total area of land under said project, the 
Secretary is authorized to undertake a comprehensive and detailed survey 
to ascertain all pertinent facts, and report in each case the result of 
such survey to the Congress, with his recommendations: Provided, That 
the cost and expense of each such survey shall be charged to the 
appropriation for the project on account of which the same is made, but 
shall not be charged as a part of the construction or operation and 
maintenance cost payable by the water users under the project.

(Dec. 5, 1924, ch. 4, Sec. 4, subsec. K, 43 Stat. 703.)
