SNAGGING AND CLEARING
Section 2 of the Flood Control Act of 1937, as amended by Section 13 of the Flood Control Act of 24 July 1946 and further amended by Section 208 of the Flood Control Act of 3 September 1954 and subsequent modifications, authorized up to $100,000 per year on any one stream for removal of accumulated snags and other debris, and clearing and straightening the channels in navigable streams and tributaries thereof, when desirable, in the interest of flood control.

SMALL FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS NOT SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZED
Section 205 of the Flood Control Act of 1948, and subsequent modifications, contained in Section 212 of the Flood Control Act of 1950, in Public Law 685, 84th Congress, and in Section 205 of the Flood Control Act of 1962, authorized not more than $1,000,000 at any single locality on certain small projects for flood control and related purposes not specifically authorized by Congress but within the limitations set forth in the above law, one of which is that the work shall be complete in itself and not commit the United States to any additional improvements to insure its successful operation.

Purpose

The removal of accumulated snags and other debris and the clearing and straightening of stream channels may be performed in the interest of flood control. Small flood control projects, not specifically authorized by Congress, may be constructed under authority given by the Chief of Engineers. These projects must, however, constitute a complete solution to the flood problem involved.
