Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) General considerations; nonstructural alternatives** In the survey, planning, or design by any Federal agency of any project involving flood protection, consideration shall be given to nonstructural alternatives to prevent or reduce flood damages, with a view toward formulating the most economically, socially, and environmentally acceptable means of reducing or preventing flood damage, including—
(1) floodproofing of structures, including through elevation;
(2) floodplain regulation;
(3) acquisition of floodplain land for recreational, fish and wildlife, and other public purposes;
(4) relocation; and
(5) the use of a feature described in [section 2289a(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section2289a/a&num=0&edition=prelim).
**(b) Non-Federal participation through nonstructural alternatives; limitation** Where a nonstructural alternative is recommended, non-Federal participation shall be comparable to the value of lands, easements, and rights-of-way which would have been required of non-Federal interests under [section 701c of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section701c&num=0&edition=prelim), for structural protection measures, but in no event shall exceed 20 per centum of the project costs.
