The Secretary of the Army is authorized to allot from any appropriations heretofore or hereafter made for flood control, not to exceed $90,000,000 for any one fiscal year, for the implementation of small structural and nonstructural projects, and projects that use natural features or nature-based features (as those terms are defined in [section 2289a(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section2289a/a&num=0&edition=prelim)), for flood control and related purposes not specifically authorized by Congress, which come within the provisions of [section 701a of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section701a&num=0&edition=prelim), when in the opinion of the Chief of Engineers such work is advisable. The amount allotted for a project shall be sufficient to complete Federal participation in the project. Not more than $15,000,000 shall be allotted under this section for a project at any single locality. The provisions of local cooperation specified in [section 701c of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section701c&num=0&edition=prelim) shall apply.
