Fiscal Year 2014 Funding

In 2014 Congress appropriated $12 million in discretionary and $250 million in mandatory funding through the 2014 Farm Bill for the Watershed Rehabilitation Program. This level of funding signifies the importance and critical role of watershed structures in flood management, water supply, erosion control, agricultural productivity, recreation and wildlife habitat. This funding supports and strengthens communities by rehabilitating aging infrastructure, jobs creation and commerce, and protecting homes and families.

In response to this funding level project sponsors from 35 states submitted funding requests for rehabilitation of 790 dams totaling more than $868.8 million. This level of funding requests demonstrates the urgent need for dam rehabilitation assistance throughout the country. As in past years, the funding requests far exceeded available funding. This funding may only be used for rehabilitation of aging dams constructed with assistance of the USDA Watershed Programs.

Funding provided in 2014 will result in 128 dams being rehabilitated in 26 states. Funds will be used for planning, design and construction. In addition, $10.3 million dollars were utilized to complete assessments of 491 dams. The dams were selected for funding based on recent assessments that evaluated the condition of the dams and the potential risks to life and property if dam failure occurred.
