<br />, <br /> <br />001427 <br /> <br />November 1999 and a final feasibility report is to be completed in December of <br />2000. <br /> <br />9. Continuing Authorities Program. Under Section 14 of the 1946 Flood <br />Control Act, as amended, the Corps provides emergency streambank protection <br />works to prevent damage to public facilities. Up to $500,000 in Federal funds can <br />be spent for each project. Under our Section 205 authority, small flood control <br />projects may be constructed with a maximum Federal contribution of $7,000,000. <br /> <br />The non-federal sponsor, under both of these authorities, must contribute 35% of <br />the cost for these projects. This program is available to communities, flood <br />control organizations, and other governing entities. Those having a need for this <br />program should contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Formulation Section, <br />4101 Jefferson Plaza NE. , Albuquerque, New Mexico 87109, telephone (505) <br />342-3201. <br />To date, no studies have been requested in the Arkansas Basin for 1999. <br /> <br />10. Flood Plain Management Services. The objective of the Flood Plain <br />Management Services Program is to support comprehensive flood plain <br />management planning with technical services and planning guidance at all <br />appropriate governmental levels. Section 321 of the Water Resources <br />Development Act of 1990 requires recovering the costs of services provided to <br />Federal Agencies, private persons and organizations. A fee schedule has been <br />established. These services are provided to state and local governments at no <br />cost. <br /> <br />Services available include: help in interpretation and evaluation of basic flood- <br />hazard data; guidance in preparation of flood plain regulations; advice-on use of <br />data regarding possible alternative developments in flood-prone areas; guidance <br />on structural and nonstructural measures which might be employed to reduce <br />flood hazard; and, in some cases, development of basic flood-hazard data. <br />Governmental agencies or persons having a need for these services should <br />contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Hydrology and Hydraulics Section, <br />4101 Jefferson Plaza, Northeast, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87109-3435, <br />telephone (505) 342-3461, or check out our FPMS web page at: <br />..http://www.spa-wc.usace.army.mil/{pms/. .. <br /> <br />In 1999, the Federal Emergency Management Agency selected the Albuquerque <br />District as Study Contractor to produce a Flood Insurance Study for Oak Creek <br />through the city of Florence, Colorado. The study is ongoing and will be <br />completed in 2000. In addition, the Albuquerque District received two requests <br />for technical services at specific sites within the Arkansas River Basin. <br /> <br />4 <br />
