Flood Control Act of 1939 (FCA 1939) Шаблон:USPL (ch. 699, 53 Stat. 1414), enacted on August 11, 1939, by the 76th Congress, authorized construction of flood control projects across the United States.[1] The Act authorized the transfer of ownership of local and state dams to the United States Army Corps of Engineers.[2] The Act was also instrumental in establishing the Federal policy of cost-benefit analysis, the standard by which the government determines whether or not a project provides sufficient benefits to justify the cost of expending public funds. It specified the standard that "the benefits to whomever they accrue [be] in excess of the estimated costs.[3]
