PART 239_WATER RESOURCES POLICIES AND AUTHORITIES: FEDERAL PARTICIPATION 

IN COVERED FLOOD CONTROL CHANNELS--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  239.6  Level of protection.



    Evaluation of the above items may indicate that submergence of 

entrances to covered channels may have significant impacts on the level 

of flooding. The requirements of EO 11988 and the significance of the 

resulting flood damage may require that the covered portion of the 

channel be enlarged to provide capacity to pass the SPF. If inclusion of 

SPF capacity on the covered portions of the project cannot be justified, 

the added capacity may be reduced to the extent that the project will 

not increase upstream stages resulting from the SPF when compared to the 

without-project condition. If this capacity is still not feasible, 

covered channels shall not be recommended.
