defined by law to consist only of mowing grass and weeds, local
drainage and minor repairs of main river levees. The Federal
Government is responsible for extraordinary maintenance of levees and
all maintenance of structures other than levees.
e. Shore Protection Projects (including Hurricane and Storm
Damage Reduction). Maintenance is a non-Federal responsibility.
Federal participation may be provided for a specified period in
periodic nourishment when nourishment has been selected and adopted in
lieu of more extensive construction, and such Federal participation is
adopted as part of the recommended project. (ER 1165-2-130)
f. Other Projects. Except for the OMRR&R on fish and wildlife
enhancement lands, the non-Federal sponsor is responsible for 100
percent of the OMRR&R cost for all non-navigation projects. On fish
and wildlife enhancement lands, the non-Federal sponsor is responsible
for 25 percent of the OMRR&R costs.
g. Requirements of Project Cooperation for Cost Shared
Projects. During the negotiation of a PCA, the non-Federal sponsor
should be made aware of activities it will be required to undertake in
the performance of its O&M responsibilities, including the estimated
annual cost to perform those OMRR&R functions. Non-Federal sponsors
should be made aware that the estimated annual OMRR&R cost will be
refined as the final project design is completed and will be adjusted
accordingly after the project is transferred for OMRR&R. (See, also,
paragraph 13-8.)
11-3. Major Rehabilitation. Major rehabilitation shall consist of
either one or both of two mutually exclusive categories, i.e.,
reliability or efficiency improvement.
a.
Reliability.
(1) Rehabilitation is a major project feature restoration
consisting of structural work on a Corps operated and maintained
facility, such as a lock, dam, hydropower plant, etc., intended to
improve reliability of an existing structure, the result of which will
be a deferral of capital expenditures to replace the structure.
(2) Rehabilitation will be considered as an alternative when
it can significantly extend the physical life of the feature and can
be economically justified by benefit-cost analysis. The work will
extend over at least two full construction seasons and will require at
least .1 million in capital outlays if initially funded before 1
October 1994. For inland navigation projects initially funded in
Fiscal Year 1997, the reliability threshold will increase to .2
million.
b. Efficiency Improvement. The efficiency improvement
category will enhance operational efficiency of major project
components. Operational efficiency will increase outputs beyond the
original project design. Efficiency improvement will require at least
||content||
.03 million in capital outlays on a component which does not exhibit
reliability problems.
c. Threshold Considerations. The threshold amounts listed for
the reliability and efficiency improvement categories shall be
adjusted annually according to the Administration's economic
assumption published each year as guidance in the Annual Program and
Budget Request for Civil Works Activities of the Corps of Engineers
