plain management and flood insurance programs, and, for any project
for HSDR, prepare a flood plain management plan (FPMP) designed to
reduce the impacts of future flood events in the project area within
one year of signing a project cooperation agreement (PCA), and
implement such plan not later than one year after completion of
construction of the project.

proper functioning of the project.

14-7. Technical and Engineering Assistance on Shore Erosion. Section
55 of 1974 (Public Law 93-251) authorizes the Secretary of the Army,

Emergency Protection.
a. Section 14 of the Flood Control Act of 1946 (Public Law
79-526), as amended. Provides authority for the Secretary of the Army
to undertake emergency measures to prevent erosion damages to
endangered highways, public works, and non-profit public facilities
(paragraph 15-3). (ER 1105-2-100)
b. Section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1941 (Public Law 72-
228), as amended. Provides authority to provide emergency protection
of Federally-authorized and constructed hurricane and shore protection
works being threatened; and to repair and restore, at 100 percent
Federal cost, Federally-authorized and constructed hurricane or shore
protection structures damaged or destroyed by wind, wave, or water
action of other than an ordinary nature when, in the discretion of the
Chief of Engineers, such repair and restoration is warranted for the
adequate functioning of the structure. (ER 500-1-1) Conditions under
which the Corps will repair and rehabilitate beach fills, and the
limitations of the work that will be undertaken, are set forth in the
following paragraphs.
(1) Completed Project. To be eligible for Section 5 funds, a
beach fill project must be completed or must be a completed functional
element of a larger project. A beach fill project or functional
element is considered to be complete when it has been formally
transferred to the non-Federal sponsor for OMRR&R. Public Law 84-99
funds will not be used for uncompleted projects that are eroded by
storm events before they are formally transferred to the non-Federal
sponsor. Uncompleted projects that are eroded by storm events before
they are formally transferred to the non-Federal sponsor will be
restored to their design dimensions using Construction, General,
funds. Costs will be shared by the non-Federal sponsor as project
construction costs under the terms of the PCA.
