About this program

The Department of the Army administers Flood Control Projects (CFDA 12.106) to reduce flood damages through projects not specifically authorized by Congress, with the most recent grant award dated May 18, 2015—over a decade ago.

Program activity is minimal. The portfolio contains a single grant award obligating $16 thousand in federal dollars, disbursed in 2015. No grant opportunities have been posted since February 2015. The program shows no recent activity and no current open solicitations.

The program funds flood control infrastructure and related management activities. Based on the single recent award and opportunities from 2015, funded activities include water safety education at Corps-managed lakes (the May 2015 cooperative agreement supported water safety interns at Raystown, Jennings Randolph, and Buffumville Lake projects) and natural resource management and enhancement at flood control sites. The Corps of Engineers designs and constructs the core flood control projects; nonfederal sponsoring agencies provide cost-sharing, lands, and long-term maintenance.

Funding is concentrated exclusively in the Department of the Army, which obligated the single $16 thousand award as a Cooperative Agreement. All awards in the portfolio are Cooperative Agreements. The combined total dollars obligated (federal plus non-federal share) reached $42 thousand, indicating a non-federal cost share of $26 thousand on the single award.

Eligible applicants are States, political subdivisions of States, or other responsible local agencies established under State law with full legal authority and financial ability to undertake necessary legal and financial responsibility. Applicants must furnish evidence of legal authorization, financial ability, and willingness to provide required local participation. The program requires nonfederal sponsors to share equally in the cost of feasibility studies and to bear project costs in cash, lands, damages, and any costs exceeding the Federal cost limit of $7 million.

No open grant opportunities are currently posted. The most recent opportunities (from February 2015) were for sole-source Cooperative Agreements with the Student Conservation Association for natural resource management at specific Corps lake projects; eligibility was limited to 501(c)(3) nonprofits.

Corps of Engineers designs and constructs the projects. Each project selected must be engineering feasible, complete within itself, and economically justified.

Local cost participation requirements and procedures for determining the local share of project cost are similar to those for flood control projects specifically authorized by Congress under regular authorization procedures.
