## SEC. 5070 RECONSTRUCTION OF ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI FLOOD PROTECTION PROJECTS ###

(a)In General The Secretary may participate in the reconstruction of an eligible flood control project if the Secretary determines that such reconstruction is not required as a result of improper operation and maintenance of the project by the non-Federal interest. ###
