a. Work Under Major Rehabilitation Program. For work proposed
under the Major Rehabilitation Program, the rehabilitation report
required by ER 1130-2-500 should contain a discussion of any
recreation use associated with the project structures and impact of
the proposed work. If recreation use would be lost, alternative plans
to accommodate the recreation may be considered. If recreation
benefits are greater than the added costs, and there is a non-Federal
sponsor willing to provide the required cost sharing, provision for
the recreation use may be recommended as part of the rehabilitation to
be undertaken. The report will be forwarded to HQUSACE for review and
approval, and will include a letter of intent from a non-Federal
sponsor, a financing plan, and a draft PCA. The PCA will be prepared
for signature of the ASA(CW). If a sponsor is unwilling to provide
the required project cooperation, the rehabilitation report should be
submitted recommending the most economical rehabilitation without the
provision for recreation. the required analysis will be funded as a
part of the Major Rehabilitation Program.
b. Recurring Maintenance Work. For recurring maintenance
work, submission of the report required by ER 1130-2-500 is not
normally required. If recreation use associated with the project
structures would be impacted by the proposed work, submit a letter
report which provides the required information concerning the
recreation use. The report should be accompanied by a letter of
intent from a non-Federal sponsor, a financing plan, and a draft PCA.
The letter report should be prepared with O&M General funds and
submitted for review and approval to CECW-O.
c. Cost Sharing. The added cost of modifying the design for
maintenance, repair, rehabilitation or reconstruction, or for
alternative provision of recreation facilities, will be allocated to
recreation and will be cost shared in accordance with Section 103 of
WRDA 1986, which requires the non-Federal sponsor to pay 50 percent of
the separable cost allocated to recreation, and to pay the cost of
OMRR&R of the recreation facilities. A PCA will be required
containing the standard requirements for recreation cost sharing and
responsibilities. The PCA and financing plan will be reviewed by
CECW-A and submitted to the ASA(CW) for approval.
d. Mitigation. If a potential non-Federal sponsor at a
project for which maintenance, repair, rehabilitation or
reconstruction was initiated since 1 May 1988, requests mitigation for
recreation use lost, the district will submit a written request to
undertake a study to CECW-O. The request will describe briefly the
extent of the proposed analysis and, if known, the extent of effort
which may be required, as well as the cost of the analysis. The
analysis should not exceed a cost of ,000. If approved by HQUSACE,
an analysis will be undertaken to determine whether the maintenance,
repair, rehabilitatiion, or reconstruction caused a loss of recreation
use. If a plan to mitigate the loss of recreation use is economically
justified and supported by a non-Federal sponsor who is willing to
provide the required cost sharing, it may be recommended for
undertaking as a new start under this authority. A report, including
a financing plan and PCA, will be submitted to CECW-O for review and
approval by the ASA(CW). Costs for work undertaken for such
mitigation will be funded from O&M General, and will be monitored at
HQUSACE to ensure that expenditures are within the limit of ,000,000
per year.
