Sec.  209.300  Flood control regulations.



    (a) Regulations for the operation and maintenance of local flood 

protection works approved by the Secretary of the Army under the 

authority contained in Section 3 of the Flood Control Act of June 22, 

1936, as amended and supplemented, are codified as Sec.  208.10 of this 

chapter. These regulations cover conditions normally and regularly 

required. Whenever the regulations are not sufficiently broad to cover 

the specific maintenance and operation requirements of a particular 

project, District Engineers will submit through the Division Engineers 

recommended additional regulations needed for that particular project. 

Such supplemental regulations will require approval of the Secretary of 

the Army and will be made applicable only to the individual project 

concerned. Local interests will be advised of the approved regulations 

for operation and maintenance of local flood protection works at the 

time assurances of local cooperation are requested. District Engineers 

will keep informed as to the extent of compliance with approved 

regulations for operation and maintenance through regular, periodic 

inspection of the projects concerned and through careful analysis of the 

semiannual reports which the operating and maintaining agencies are 

required to submit in accordance with the regulations. The District 

Engineer's views as to any measures required to conform to the approved 

regulations will be furnished to the agencies responsible. In any case 

where the District Engineer has been unable to arrange satisfactory 

compliance or where there is question or disagreement as to the measures 

required for compliance, a report of the circumstances, together with 

the recommendations of the District and Division Engineers, will be 

submitted to the Chief of Engineers for consideration.

    (b) Regulations for the use of storage allocated for flood control 

or navigation at reservoirs constructed wholly or in part with Federal 

funds provided on the basis of such purposes, are contained in Sec.  

208.16 et seq. of this chapter.
