Texas HB2954 mandates that navigation districts cover the cost of relocating or removing dredged spoils or materials.

Texas HB2954 amends the Water Code to require navigation districts to either pay the full cost of relocating or removing dredged spoils or materials or to handle the relocation or removal themselves. The cost must be borne at the district's sole expense, which means the actual cost after deducting any salvage value from the spoils or materials. This provision applies when the district exercises its power of eminent domain or police power.
