Corps of Engineers designs and constructs the project.
Each project selected must be engineering feasible, complete within itself,
and economically justified. The nonfederal sponsor must provide all lands,
easements and rights-of-way; provide all project costs in excess of the
Federal limit of $500,000; agree to maintain project after construction; hold
and save the United States free from damages; provide a contribution toward
construction costs for land enhancement or special benefits; agree to prevent
future encroachment which might interfere with proper functioning of the
project for flood control. Local cost participation requirements and
procedures for feasibility study cost-sharing and determining the local share
of project cost are similar to those for flood control projects specifically
authorized by Congress under regular authorization procedures.
