WASHINGTON – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will host a media teleconference Monday, March 24, 3 p.m. EDT to discuss its Interim Policy for Determining Eligibility Status of Flood Risk Management Projects for the Rehabilitation Program Pursuant to Public Law (P.L.) 84-99.
As a result of public feedback and interest, USACE initiated a comprehensive review of the Rehabilitation Program. USACE will make changes to the Rehabilitation Program to better synchronize the Flood Risk Management and Levee Safety Program activities. One of the changes includes revising Rehabilitation Program eligibility criteria to promote broader flood risk management activities.
Tammy Conforti, PE, USACE levee safety program manager, will provide an overview of the interim policy and respond to questions.
Please contact Pete Pierce at the phone number or email above for the teleconference dial in information and a copy of the interim policy, which will be available Monday, March 24, 8 a.m. EDT and embargoed until 3 p.m. EDT.
