Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
* Section 2 also makes any dam located in a town with a population of less than 5,000 people eligible for rehabilitation assistance, provided that more than 50 percent of the total volume of the dam's embankment is formed of compacted earth layers. This helps smaller rural communities fix and maintain their local rural earthen dams.
