DESCRIPTION: The Inspection of Completed Works (ICW) Program is an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program that provides for Corps of Engineers inspections of Flood Risk Management Projects (FRMPs) that have been constructed by the Federal Government. The projects in Vermont have been turned over to the local public sponsor, the Vermont State Department of Environmental Conservation (VTDEC), or the city, town or village, which is responsible for O&M. The VTDEC is also responsible for Dam Safety. Inspections are conducted jointly by engineers or technical representatives of the New York District and the local public sponsors, noting any observable deficiencies that need to be addressed in order for the project to maintain its structural integrity and design capabilities and provide flood protection to the community.
Within the New York District there are 5 projects in the State of Vermont in the ICW inventory:
