Facility Restorations

Water Control Facilities

Detailed Discussion

Water   Control  Facilities  are those  facilities built for the following purposes:
   †  Channel  alignment
   †  Recreation
   †  Navigation
   †  Land  reclamation
   †  Maintenance of  fish and wildlife habitat
   †  Interior  drainage
   †  Irrigation
   †  Erosion  prevention
   †  Flood  control
   They include: dams and reservoirs, levees, lined  and unlined engineered drainage channels, canals, aqueducts, sediment basins,  shore protective devices, irrigation facilities (although PNP irrigation  facility eligibility is limited), and pumping facilities.
   Public assistance eligibility is limited for  facilities built specifically for flood control (e.g., dams, levees, and  flood control channels) (see Flood Control Works). Those built for other purposes as listed above are evaluated  as any other eligible facility. (See Categories of  Work.)
