If the Secretary determines that the project is feasible, the Secretary may carry out a project for the rehabilitation of a dam described in subsection (b). A dam eligible for assistance under this section is a dam— that has been constructed, in whole or in part, by the Corps of Engineers for flood control purposes; for which construction was completed before 1940; that is classified as high hazard potential by the State dam safety agency of the State in which the dam is located; and that is operated by a non-Federal entity.
Non-Federal interests shall provide 35 percent of the cost of construction of any project carried out under this section, including provision of all land, easements, rights-of-way, and necessary relocations. Construction of a project under this section shall be initiated only after a non-Federal interest has entered into a binding agreement with the Secretary— to pay the non-Federal share of the costs of construction under subsection (c); and to pay 100 percent of any operation, maintenance, and replacement and rehabilitation costs with respect to the project in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary.
The Secretary shall not expend more than $10,000,000 for a project at any single dam under this section. There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section $10,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2017 through 2026.
