IN COVERED FLOOD CONTROL CHANNELS--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  239.4  Policy.



    Projects will be formulated and evaluated in accordance with the 

policies and procedures described in ER 1105-2-200. If, during the 

planning process, it appears that covered flood control channels are 

desirable, reporting officers may evaluate them and include them when 

they best serve the public interest. Selection of the plan which

best serves the public interest is based upon the ability of the plan to 

meet planning objectives, the contributions which the plan makes to the 

National Economic Development (NED), Environmental Quality (EQ), 

Regional Development (RD) and Social Well Being (SWB) accounts, and the 

public response to alternative plans. Thus, covered flood control 

channels may be proposed if they are desired by the public and (a) 

increase net EQ and/or NED benefits; or, (b) reduce adverse effects on 

RD or SWB without incurring an unjustified loss in net NED or EQ 

benefits.
