This grant is to support legal compliance for reclamation pursuant to the middle RIO grande (MRG) project authority authorized by the federal flood control acts of 1948 and 1950 (P.L. 80-858 and 81-516). The flood control acts provide the authorization for reclamation to pursue river maintenance activities on the middle RIO grande. Maintenance of the RIO grande remains essential to address potential flooding, fluctuating reservoir elevations, uncontrolled tributary inflow, dynamic river conditions, and continued bank erosion. Channel maintenance and improvement includes ensuring effective water delivery, reducing the risk of flooding, providing bankline erosion protection, and transporting sediment. Compliance for these activities requires ensuring vegetation regrowth and planting to establish habitat for endanger species. The recipient will:1. Provide safety for all personnel, project partners, contractors, and visitors during project activities, including providing project supervision and management.2. Manage and implement the following project activities (all occurring within the BB-343 side channel except when transporting water for salvaged plant materials storage cribs and mobilizing demobilizing equipment)
