 Subpart D_Rehabilitation Assistance for Flood Control Works Damaged by 

 Flood or Coastal Storm: The Corps Rehabilitation and Inspection Program

 

Sec.  203.43  Inspection of Federal flood control works.



    (a) Required inspections. A completed Federal flood control project, 

or completed functional portions thereof, is granted Active status in 

the RIP upon transfer of the operation and maintenance of the project 

(or functional portion thereof) to the non-Federal sponsor. Federal 

flood control works will be periodically inspected in accordance with 33 

CFR 208.10 and Engineer Regulation (ER) 1130-2-530, Flood Control 

Operations and Maintenance Policies. These periodic inspections of 

Federal flood control works are also, for simplicity, known as CEI's. If 

a Federal project is found to be inadequately maintained on a CEI, then 

it will be placed in an Inactive status in the RIP. [Note: This is a 

separate and distinct action from project deauthorization, which is not 

within the scope of PL 84-99 activities.] A Federal project will remain 

in an Inactive status until such

time as an adequate maintenance program is restored, and the project is 

determined by the Corps to be adequately maintained.

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

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

will be maintained in Corps district offices. 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 not eligible for 

Rehabilitation Assistance. 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.
