 Subpart D_Rehabilitation Assistance for Flood Control Works Damaged by 

 Flood or Coastal Storm: The Corps Rehabilitation and Inspection Program

 

Sec.  203.42  Inspection of non-Federal flood control works.



    (a) Required inspections. The Corps will conduct inspections of non-

Federal flood control works. These inspections are IEI's and CEI's. 

Conduct of IEI's and CEI's will be as provided for in Sec.  203.48.

    (1) Corps involvement with any non-Federal flood control work 

normally begins when the sponsor requests an IEI. The Corps will conduct 

an IEI to determine if the flood control work meets minimum engineering 

and maintenance standards and is capable of providing the intended 

degree of flood protection. An Acceptable or Minimally Acceptable rating 

(see Sec.  203.48) on the IEI is required to allow the project to gain 

an Active status in the RIP.

    (2) CEI's are conducted periodically to ensure that projects Active 

in the RIP continue to meet Corps standards, and to determine if the 

sponsor's maintenance program is adequate. A rating of Acceptable or 

Minimally Acceptable (see Sec.  203.48) on a CEI is required in order to 

retain an Active status in the RIP.

    (b) Advice and reporting. Information on the results of IEI and CEI 

inspections will be furnished in writing to non-Federal sponsors, and 

will be maintained in Corps district offices.

    (1) Non-Federal sponsors will be informed that an IEI rating of 

Unacceptable will cause the flood control work to remain in an Inactive 

status, and ineligible for Rehabilitation Assistance.

    (2) Non-Federal sponsors will be informed that a CEI rating of 

Unacceptable will cause the flood control work to be placed in an 

Inactive status, and ineligible for Rehabilitation Assistance.

    (3) Non-Federal sponsors will be informed that maintenance 

deficiencies found during CEI's may negatively impact on eligibility of 

future Rehabilitation Assistance, and the degree of local cost-sharing 

participation in any proposed work. Follow-up inspections can be made by 

the Corps to monitor progress in correcting deficiencies when warranted.
