§ 6302 District Waterway Project Control

• •A district can create local rules (police regulations) for any federal waterway project entering its area.
• •The district can set rules about building wharves, docks, buildings, and other improvements.
• •These rules help the district control how projects affect local waterways and land.

The Army Corps of Engineers wants to add a new dock on the river that runs through a town.

The town's district can write its own rules about how the dock is built, what safety measures are needed, and how it fits with other projects, because the law gives the district that power.
