If an Army-controlled dam or reservoir damages a highway, railway, or utility, the Chief of Engineers may use project funds to repair, move, restore, or protect it, subject to the stated exception.

When the Chief of Engineers finds that an Army-controlled dam or reservoir project has damaged or is damaging or destroying a highway, railway, or utility, the Chief may use available construction, maintenance, or operation funds for that project to repair, relocate, restore, or protect it. This does not apply to a highway, railway, or utility for which the Army previously made provision unless the Chief finds actual damage has exceeded or will exceed that provision.
