Title 33 › Chapter 15— FLOOD CONTROL › § 701b–16
Summary
If 2 or more flood control projects are in the same area, the Secretary must treat them as one program for budgeting or project management if the non-Federal partners ask and if doing so does not conflict with the projects' authorized purposes. If work on those projects is needed only because a navigation project caused impacts, the costs must follow the navigation project's cost-sharing rules. That work can be paid with funds available under part (a).
