RS 3475 - Projects undertaken by the office
A. After adoption of the office's recommendations by the joint committee, the approved list of projects shall be forwarded to the office for implementation. The approved list shall be implemented by the office by the use of funds appropriated, funding obligation authority, or pursuant to the cash management program as provided by R.S. 48:251(D). Funding or funding obligation authority shall be allocated to projects in accordance with the prioritized list of projects approved by the joint committee. Funding obligation authority may be granted or authorized for a project from funds appropriated or obligated for another project or projects within the Waterway Dredging and Deepening Priority Program provided that such authority does not impede such project or projects. Such funding obligation authority shall be extinguished for a project at such time as funds are made available for obligation for the project. The office shall not delete, add, or substitute any projects for those approved by the joint committee, except as provided in R.S. 34:3476.
B. No waterway project shall be undertaken by the office except those included in the approved program listing which are funded or which have funding obligation authority for that fiscal year.
