Description
AUTHORITY AND SCOPE
Section 1135 of the 1986 Water Resources Development Act, as amended, provides authority for the Corps of Engineers to determine the need for project modifications in the structures and operations of existing Corps of Engineers projects for the purpose of improving the environment in the public interest. Measures at other locations that have been affected by the construction or operation of the project can be undertaken, if such measures do not conflict with the authorized project purposes.
CASH CONTRIBUTION
The initial study is 100% federally funded up to
$100,000. All planning costs after the first $100,000 are cost shared 50/50. Design and construction costs are cost shared 75% Federal and 25% non-Federal. The sponsor cost share can be a contribution of cash, lands, easements, rights-of-way, relocations, disposal areas (LERRDs) or work-in-kind. Work-in-kind may be provided subsequent to the execution of the Project Partnership Agreement (PPA), and the value may not exceed 80% of the non-Federal share.
LOCAL COOPERATION
Formal assurance of local cooperation, a Project Partnership Agreement (PPA), must be furnished by a local sponsoring agency. The sponsoring agency must normally agree to the following:
- Provide without cost to the United States all LERRDs necessary for the construction and subsequent maintenance of the project;
- Maintain and operate the project after completion without cost to the United States; Assume responsibility for all costs in excess of the Federal cost limitation of $10 million;
- "Work-in-kind" contributions from the sponsor may be negotiated; and,
- If the value of the sponsor's contribution above does not equal or exceed 25 percent of the project cost, provide cash contribution to make the sponsor's total contribution equal to 25 percent.
