Expands eligibility for rehabilitation assistance to include high hazard potential dams and rural earthen dams.

The bill amends the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act to include high hazard potential dams and rural earthen dams as eligible for rehabilitation assistance. High hazard potential dams are defined under the National Dam Safety Program Act, while rural earthen dams are those located in towns with populations under 5,000 and with more than 50% of their embankments made of compacted earth layers. This change aims to enhance dam safety and flood prevention efforts.
