International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) Construction: $220 million

Description: "The USIBWC has identified the need to raise levee height and make structural repairs to ensure the levees provide adequate protection during the 100-year flood, a flood that has a 1% chance of occurring in any given year. The levee rehabilitation is intended to meet standards established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). U.S. Section hydraulic modeling and geotechnical analysis have identified levee segments where there are height deficiencies or structural weaknesses that could lead to levee failure during a flood. The USIBWC has also undertaken required environmental studies. The Recovery Act funding will allow rehabilitation of approximately 170 miles of levees, including Rio Grande levees and levees in the interior floodways in the Lower Rio Grande Flood Control Project."
