§ 34:3475 — Projects undertaken by the office

§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.
