Such feasibility study shall also develop alternative water management plans that are consistent with the Endangered Species Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Before funds are expended for the feasibility study, the State of Nebraska, or other non-Federal entity, shall agree to participate in the study and to share in the cost of the study. The non-Federal share of the costs may be partly or wholly in the form of services directly related to the conduct of the study. In accordance with the repayment contract for the Dallas Creek participating project of the Upper Colorado River storage project, entered into January 14, 1977, and entitled "Repayment Contract Between the United States of America and the Tri-County Water Conservancy District", the portion of the costs of such project, including interest on construction costs, allocated to municipal and industrial use which exceeds $38,000,000 shall not be reimbursable. To provide adequate access to the McGee Creek recreation areas, Wildlife Management Area, and Natural Scenic Recreation Area for use and enjoyment by the general public of those facilities, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to secure right-of-way, design and construct or otherwise improve two existing county access roads (1) westside road beginning at the existing county road extending from Oklahoma State Highway 3 near the community of Lane, Oklahoma, and extending adjacent to the McGee Creek Reservoir and terminating at the existing county road extending from Okla- homa State Highway 43 in the vicinity of Stringtown, Oklahoma, a distance of some 19 miles; (2) eastside road beginning at State Highways 3 and 7 near Center Point, Oklahoma, and extending northward to the upper end of McGee Creek Reservoir, a distance of some 11 miles. The westside road will be constructed with a 24-foot berm and 20-foot paved surface and the east side constructed with a 28-foot berm and 24-foot paved surface. Both roads will have a minimum 6-inch gravel base and be paved with all weather asphal- tic surface. The cost for the facilities authorized by this Act shall be nonreimbursable.
