   Subpart H--Non-Federal Levee Rehabilitation Eligibility Guidelines
 
Sec. 203.91  General.

    Source: 51 FR 25692, July 16, 1987, unless otherwise noted.


    (a) Intent. The intent of these guidelines is to facilitate the 
evaluation of the design, construction and maintenance of non-Federal 
flood control facilities to determine eligiblity for repair under Pub. 
L. 84-99. Based on its common use the word ``levees'' will be used in 
this text to mean any flood control work.
    (b) Level of detail. The evaluation will be made through site 
inspections and technical analyses by trained (experienced) Corps 
district technical staff. This inspection will assess the general 
functional and structural integrity of the levee for flood control 
purposes and will serve as a basis for determining Corps assistance. The 
guidelines are not intended to establish design standards for non-
Federal levees, but to provide uniform procedures within the Corps for 
determining eligibility under Pub. L. 84-99. If the results of the Corps 
study are not acceptable to the levee owner, he may choose to provide 
his own detailed engineering study (certified by a qualified 
professional engineer) as a reclama to establish the elibility of his 
levee for Corps assistance.
