This tech tip discusses funding that is available to help rehabilitate or remove more than 10,000 small, aging dams built under the Watershed Program (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/watershed/), the Pilot Watershed Program, and the Resource Conservation and Development Program. Some of these dams are on national forests or other public lands, although they are owned and operated by local sponsors, such as conservation districts or local governments. Some of the dams affected are nearing the end of their planned 50-year design life and need to be rehabilitated or removed. The Natural Resources Conservation Service can pay for 65 percent of the cost of rehabilitating or removing these dams under amendments in 2000 to the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act.
