   Subpart H--Non-Federal Levee Rehabilitation Eligibility Guidelines
 
Sec. 203.94  Evaluation of eligibility based on the Rating Guide.

    After the technical evaluation has assessed the integrity of the 
levee, the current definitive condition of the levee will be evaluated 
using the Rating Guide as a basis. The following table provides general 
guidance on appropriate inspection recommendations based on the Rating 
Guide parameters:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Condition                         Recommendation
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A--Acceptable.......................  No immediate work required.
M--Minimally Acceptable.............  A deficient condition exists which
                                       needs to be improved by the levee
                                       sponsor/owner. The inspector's
                                       evaluation should address the
                                       impacts on the original design
                                       and/or on operating deficiencies
                                       resulting from the condition
                                       identified.
U--Unacceptable.....................  Items which fall within this
                                       category may render the levee
                                       ineligible for rehabilitation
                                       under Pub. L. 84-99 unless
                                       immediate corrective action is
                                       taken by the sponsor/owner. The
                                       inspector's evaluation will
                                       establish specific time periods
                                       within which the unacceptable
                                       performance items must be
                                       upgraded to at least Condition M.
------------------------------------------------------------------------


If the sponsor/owner does not comply with the recommendation for 
correction of Condition ``U'' items, within specified time frames a 
notification will be provided to the sponsor/owner that the levee is 
ineligible for rehabilitation under Pub. L. 84-99 until the deficiencies 
are corrected. No further inspections will be made until the sponsor/
owner notifies the Corps that this has been completed.
