About this program
The Department of the Army's Corps of Engineers administers the Snagging and Clearing for Flood Control program (CFDA 12.108) to fund vegetation removal and debris clearance in waterways to reduce flood damages, with the most recent grant award activity in the portfolio block not provided in the source.
The program funds engineering design and construction of snagging and clearing projects selected for their engineering feasibility, completeness as standalone systems, and economic justification. The Corps designs and constructs each approved project. Eligible applicants are states, political subdivisions of states, or other responsible local agencies established under state law with full authority and ability to undertake necessary legal and financial responsibilities. Prospective sponsors must submit a formal letter to the relevant District Engineer indicating clear intent to provide all required local participation, furnish evidence of legal authorization and financial capability, and demonstrate willingness to comply with cost-sharing and post-construction maintenance obligations.
The nonfederal sponsor must provide all lands, easements, and rights-of-way; cover all project costs exceeding the federal limit of $500,000; agree to maintain the project after construction; hold the United States free from damages; provide a contribution toward construction costs for land enhancement or special benefits; and prevent future encroachment that might interfere with project functioning. The Division Engineer approves each project based on an investigation and report by the District Engineer. Award of construction is subject to availability of funds from the Chief of Engineers.
Applicants should contact the nearest District Engineer for Engineer Regulations 1105-2-10 Chapter 4 (33 CFR 263) and program information sheets. The source does not provide recent grant award history, current funding concentration data, typical award magnitudes, or active grant opportunities. Program activity status and recent solicitation details cannot be determined from the available information.
