*October 26, 2012*

The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) is seeking 
applications for structural repair projects on flood control dams 
defined in the Texas Administrative Code, Title 31, Part 17, Chapter 
529, Subchapter B, Section 529. 51(4).  Rules for the Flood Control 
Structural Repair Grant Program have been adopted by the TSSWCB and may 
be found on the TSSCWB website 
<http://www.tsswcb.texas.gov/files/docs/Flood%20Control/Chapter%20529-Flood%20Control.pdf>. 
Grant funds may be awarded through a contract between the TSSWCB and any 
sponsor of a flood control dam as defined by the Program rules. Entities 
or individuals not meeting the definition of sponsor in the program 
rules may not apply for grant funds. Contracts to multiple sponsors may 
be needed to accomplish a single project.

Grant funds may be used to:

  * Provide not more than 95% of the cost of performing structural
    repair activities
  * Provide not more than 95% of the non-federal matching funds required
    for a rehabilitation project performed by the United States
    Department of Agriculture -- Natural Resources Conservation Service
    through the Federal Dam Rehabilitation Program
  * Provide not more than 95% of the non-federal matching funds required
    for an Emergency Watershed Protection Program project performed by
    the United States Department of Agriculture -- Natural Resources
    Conservation Service

*NOTE* -- Applications submitted for previous fiscal years that did not 
result in a grant award will be considered for Fiscal Year 2013 funds 
unless the applicant instructs otherwise. A separate application for 
Fiscal Year 2013 funding may be necessary. Contact Lee Munz at (254) 
773-2250 ext. 241 if you are unsure if a new application is required.

Application forms for the three allowable project types listed above are 
available and must be downloaded from the TSSWCB's website at: 
http://www.tsswcb.texas.gov/floodcontrol
Applications for Fiscal Year 2013 grant funds are due _*no later than

receipt of an application to expedite the obligation of funds. Initial 
contact by the TSSWCB with an applicant does not signify an obligation 
of funds. Significant discussion may be necessary between the TSSWCB and 
certain applicants to determine the viability of a project.
