HERE ARE THE MILLIONS OF NEW JOBS FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS THAT ALL OF US HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!NOTE: This proposal also defies the United Nations Agenda 21, by declaring United States of America control, rather than United Nations control, over our nation's fresh waters.
PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE LANGUAGE (Version 1.3)
To create the
Federal Waterways and Ports Authority
Preamble and Existing Successful Federal Pilot Project
As background, here are some "Waterway Facts" from what I refer to as an existing Federal Pilot Project, showing how one such waterways improvement project affected the City of Tulsa Oklahoma, and also other localities along the Verdigris Canal, Arkansas River, Mississippi River, and Gulf of Mexico mutually interlinked federal waterways areas. The successful federal "Pilot Project" is the existing McClellan–Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS) is part of the inland waterway system originating at the Tulsa Port of Catoosa and running southeast through Oklahoma and Arkansas to the Mississippi River. The system was named for two Senators: Robert S. Kerr (D-OK) and John L. McClellan (D-AR), who pushed authorizing legislation through Congress. The system officially opened June 5, 1971. It is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Though it primarily follows the Arkansas River, it also follows portions of the Verdigris River in Oklahoma and the White River in Arkansas. It also includes the Arkansas Post Canal, a short canal named for nearby Arkansas Post National Memorial, connecting the Arkansas and White Rivers.
Through Oklahoma and Arkansas, dams artificially deepen and widen this modest sized river to build it into a commercially navigable body of water. The design enables traffic to overcome an elevation difference of 420 feet (130 m) between the Mississippi River and the Tulsa Port of Catoosa. Along the section of the Arkansas River that carries the McClellan-Kerr channel, the river sustains commercial barge traffic and offers passenger and recreational use and is a series of reservoirs. Total length of the system is 445 miles. To allow for navigation, construction was started in 1963 on a system of channels and locks to connect the many reservoirs along the length of the Arkansas River. The first section, running to Little Rock, Arkansas, opened in 1968. The first barge to reach the Port of Catoosa arrived in early 1971.

Proposed New Federal Water Legislation
As either a separate Bill, or as a constituent part of any new federal water projects or federal waterways pending legislation, please add an amendment having the following key legislative provisions:
1. Under the provisions of the US Constitution seen at Art. 1, Sections 8 & 17, and also Art IV, the provisions of this act shall supersede and displace the provisions of the constitution or laws of any state or commonwealth of the United States, and shall also supersede the provisions of any interstate compact, that are in conflict with the provisions of this law.
2. The below described various revenue streams contemplated for the Federal Waterways and Ports Authority, (hereafter “FWPA”) are intended to provide a variety of cash flows, in which to retire the tax-free waterways investment-grade tax-free quasi-municipal bonds, which multiple revenue sources and bonded indebtedness modes of financing is intended to make the autonomous FWPA, fiscally self-sustaining.
3. The Federal Waterways and Ports Authority anticipated revenues include a variety of FWPA fees, canal, bridge, and tunnel tolls; all water utility, electricity, sewer, and natural gas utility charges to be paid within the boundaries of the federal benefit district federal reservations; registry fees for motor vehicles and boats and trailers utilized within the benefit district federal reservations; the exclusive authority to operate all of the nation’s ports of entry (which by itself effectively recoups $4.8 Billion in revenues otherwise paid-out to private contractors, which perpetually restores full American port of entry security that some say is compromised due to America’s ports operations being in a private contractor’s hands instead of being operated by an entity whose governing body is appointed by the President of the United States. The operation of all U.S. ports of entry, by itself, adds billions of dollars in FWPA revenues); capital gains obtained from real property sales of residential privately-owned parcels such as those situated within the new residential lake communities, the lake community leasehold estate rents to be paid by the large numbers of “build to suit” tenants working on base-plus a percentage-of-sales leases, all of which rents are to be paid for business locations utilized for the sales of services or products to the general public within the FWPA benefit district federal reservations, including tenants occupying the FWPA commercial, industrial, and agricultural tracts,. The FWPA leaseholds include, but are not limited to, all lake community shopping malls, restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, marinas, sporting goods and bait and tackle shops, an array of business offices, bakeries, beauty shops, clothing stores, and regional hospitals and medical centers; –- agribusiness rents such as those paid by fish farms producing among other species, gulf shrimp or Alaskan king crab, massive hydroponic greenhouses utilized to raise vegetables and garden produce and grain farms whose growing beds utilize rich agricultural loam mixed with recovered waterways silt, and mushrooms, livestock and poultry raising operations, each of which is located near the markets where they will be consumed, and also worm farms producing baits much-desired by fishermen -- industrial leasehold payments that include rents to be paid by Land-Air-Rail-Sea Port (“LARS Ports”) tenants; U.S. Foreign Trade Zone tenants; warehouses; shipyards and pleasure craft boat factories; brick, block, and cement companies; glass factories; timber mills and lumber yards; and further, the several quasi-municipal fines paid by administrative rules and FWPA infraction violators, and also fees paid in lieu of state and local taxes by persons within FWPA benefit district federal reservations, containing the many lakes, reservoirs, residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural areas, and also FWPA home-rule charter hamlets, boroughs, or metroplex FWPA benefit district federal reservation residential communities.
4. Collaterally, the works of the Federal Waterways and Ports Authority will create a national reservoir of new jobs and employment opportunities with admired quasi-municipal amenities and lifestyles.

36. The board of governors of the Federal Waterways and Ports Authority shall establish intercoastal waterways and canals linking its FWPA benefit district federal reservations with the Great Lakes, and with the other waterways, lakes, rivers, canals, and coastal waters of the United States.37. The board of governors of the Federal Waterways and Ports Authority shall create inland salt water sport fishing lakes, and shall also establish and maintain facilities utilized to divert fresh water from near the mouths of rivers with their confluence with the coastal waters of salt water oceans and gulfs, and facilities to filter silt and chemicals from natural waterways, and shall redirect fresh waters, back to the headwaters of our nation’s rivers and streams, or to any other locations in order to provide waters for the FWPA lakes, public water supply and agricultural reservoirs and irrigation systems, canals, or intercostal waterways, in order to recycle and to stockpile, our nation’s fresh water natural resources, against the seasons of state of emergency draughts, that would otherwise lead to water rationing, crop failures, animal husbandry privations, dust storms, or widespread suffering among the people.

39. The board of governors of the Federal Waterways and Ports Authority shall implement its strategic long-term goals of establishing navigable federal waterways for maritime vessels and boats, providing arid areas with a reliable water supply while also providing adequate tactical aqua-drainage capability to relocate surplus waters from flood-prone areas, to the agricultural breadbasket and arid locations of the nation, while simultaneously providing for the construction of high-technology flood-control levees that combine flood-control with the additional priority functions of filtration of silt and chemical pollutants from the waters of America's principal and tributary river systems, resulting in working towards the goal of the restoration of clear-blue crystal clear fresh water rivers, with the totality of the situation also reducing America's dependence on foreign fossil fuels and OPEC oil purchases, due to the fact that one ton of cargoes transported for one mile by waterways significantly reduces the amount of diesel consumption otherwise required by long-haul freight trucking or railroad transportation methodology. The board of governors shall have power to restrict diesel propulsion system ocean-going vessels from enjoying access to the intercostal waterways and canals that it shall construct or operate, in order that no fossil fuel combustion engine toxic exhausts shall pollute the air within navigable waterways that utilize tunnel boring machines to obtain channels through mountainous areas, or within the intercostal waterways or canals serving climate-controlled domed FWPA hamlets, FWPA boroughs, or FWPA metroplexes.
40. The board of governors of the Federal Waterways and Ports Authority shall devise methods to perpetually capture energy from solar panels, windmills, wave generators, or other innovative technologies.
41. The Federal Waterways and Ports Authority shall be exempt from the provisions of law otherwise requiring environmental impact studies, land disturbance and prevailing wage, anti-trust, or monopoly laws, and shall enter into consultations with other federal agencies in order to balance the concerns of those various regulatory agencies with the mandates within this Act, creating the Federal Waterways and Ports Authority, and defining its instrumentality powers, duties, projects, and exemptions.

44. The Federal Waterways and Ports Authority shall create the capacity for US Naval ships, US Coast Guard vessels, and U.S. Merchant Marine vessels, to enjoy access to LARS ports, and to traverse through the Federal Waterways and Ports Authority benefit district federal reservations, that allows the US Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and also U.S. Merchant Marine Fleets, safe-passage through the commonwealths and the several states of the United States of America, and to facilitate the need of such fleets to change oceans, by traversing and navigating the waters of certain designated national defense canals and intercostal waterways engineered to permit the largest ocean-going vessels to pass each other traversing the FWPA waterways in opposite directions.
45. The Acts of Admission to the Union relating to each of the states and commonwealths of the United States, and also the metes and bounds of all Indian reservations, are hereby deemed by operation of law, to be constructively amended, nunc pro tunc, to exclude from their respective jurisdictions and territory, the lands that are situated within the federal waterways and ports authority benefit district federal reservations, which now, or in the future, shall be established.
46. The World War II national security aspects of the intercostal waterways that protected U.S. Merchant Marine vessels from enemy warships, the pilot project successes of, among others, the McClellan Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, (“MKARNS”) shows the feasibility and economic benefits of establishing and maintaining a national network of intercostal waterways, canals, and other bodies of water, notwithstanding the barriers of mountains, long distances, or arid places that would flourish if it had a more reliable water supply.
47. The examples of the United Arab Emirates creating artificial islands for residential purposes, and also of The Netherlands reclaiming lands from the sea, is the basis of the FWPA powers to: establish island-building projects through land-fill deposits of rocks and soils removed during the construction of FWPA intercostal waterways and canals, or otherwise, to abate the nuisance of shoal waters, rocks and reefs, constituting a hazard to navigation, and also land reclamation construction projects within aquatic and oceanic “dead zone,” oxygen minimum zones (OMZ). These OMZs are permanent or semi-permanent hypoxic and eutrophication areas in the world's oceans and large lakes, caused by excessive nutrient pollution from human activities, coupled with factors depleting the oxygen required to support most marine life, in bottom and near-bottom waters near inhabited coastlines. Dead Zones are places where it is difficult for marine life to be supported. Artificial barrier islands to abate the environmental nuisance-and-catastrophe of aquatic and oceanic dead zone OMZ’s, shall be constructed by the FWPA, acting jointly in concert with tribal governments and native American cultural organizations, resulting in the creation of man-made barrier islands which shall constitute the noncontiguous territorial jurisdictions of a United States commonwealth, consisting of a federation of constituent native American tribes, to be known as the commonwealth of Novamerica (Latin: New America). The land areas of the Commonwealth of Novamerica, except for any FWPA LARS ports or canals that are situated therein, shall be quit-claimed by the FWPA board of governors, to the commonwealth of Novamerica government, simultaneously upon admission of the commonwealth of Novamerica to the Union on an equal footing with all other commonwealths of the United States of America; by operation of law, the Commonwealth of Novamerica shall be automatically admitted to the union, upon obtaining a population of 100,000 persons and, upon securing a two-thirds ratification vote of each house of the Novamerica Provisional Legislature, consisting of 100 representatives and 50 senators, to be elected at a Novamerica constitutional convention, called for the purposes to draft a commonwealth constitution and also to elect all initial commonwealth public officials, at large, including a commonwealth governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, treasurer, auditor, defender general, marshal, ombudsman, and also a delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives, and also further, by submitting a duly ratified Commonwealth of Novamerica constitution, to the United States of America National Archives.
