Storage for flood control began <br /> <br /> <br />in early June and continued intermittently through June. Maximum flow at <br /> <br /> <br />Mogote was about 2,600 c.f.s. Unregulated peak would have occured on 9 June <br /> <br /> <br />with about 3,350 c.f.s. <br /> <br />6. Small Projects Program. Under the continuing authority of its Small <br /> <br /> <br />Projects Program, the Corps of Engineers is able to provide for the construc- <br /> <br /> <br />tion, repair, restoration, and modification of emergency streambank protec- <br /> <br /> <br />tion works to prevent damage to highways, bridge approaches, public works, <br /> <br /> <br />churches, hospitals, schools, and other non-profit public services. No more <br /> <br /> <br />than $250,000 of Federal funds can be spent for each project. In addition, <br /> <br /> <br />the Corps is able to build small flood control structures, such as levees, <br /> <br /> <br />floodwalls and dams if such projects are economically feasible. The Federal <br /> <br /> <br />project cost of these structures is limited to $2,000,000. <br /> <br />The Albuquerque District investigated six small projects that are located in <br /> <br /> <br />the Rio Grande Basin. The sites are at Alamosa in Colorado and at Abiquiu, <br /> <br /> <br />Santo Domingo, Belen, Rio Puerco, and Las Cruces in New Mexico. Abiquiu and <br /> <br /> <br />Rio Puerco are presently under construction, while the others are in the <br /> <br /> <br />planning stage. <br /> <br />This program is available to communities, flood control organizations, ditch <br /> <br /> <br />associations, and other governing entities. Entities having a need for this <br /> <br /> <br />program should contact the District Engineer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, <br /> <br /> <br />P.O. Box 1580, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87103. <br /> <br />7. 404 Permits. In 1980, eleven Department of the Army permits were issued <br /> <br /> <br />for projects in the Rio Grande Basin. These include sand and gravel removal <br /> <br /> <br />operations on the Rio Grande near Alcalde, New Mexico, and adjacent to San <br /> <br /> <br />Felipe Pueblo, bridge construction near South Fork, Colorado, and bridge <br /> <br />6 <br />
