Last updated Apr 6, 2026|Official source

Summary

Treat 2 or more flood control projects in the same area as one program for budgeting and project management when the local non-Federal partners ask, if the Secretary decides doing that will not conflict with each project's official purpose. If work on one of those projects is needed only because a navigation project caused impacts, the cost for that work must follow the navigation project's cost-sharing rules. That work can be paid for with money made available by treating the projects as a single program.
