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 TSSWCB website at:
*
**http://www.tsswcb.texas.gov/files/docs/Flood Control/Chapter 529-Flood 
Control.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 2014 funds 
unless the applicant instructs otherwise.  A separate application for 
Fiscal Year 2014 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.state.tx.us/floodcontrol*

Applications for Fiscal Year 2014 grant funds are due *no later than 
8:00 am on January 13, 2014*.  Applications should be submitted to:

The TSSWCB may begin discussions with some applicants immediately upon 
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.

at (254) 773-2250, or send an email to all of the following to ensure a
