Is a hydrologic and hydraulic study eligible as a project under PDM?
Yes, hydrologic and hydraulic studies are eligible as a as a project under PDM. In Section 4.2 of the PDM guidance, hydrologic and hydraulic studies that are not integral or necessary for project design or feasibility determinations are ineligible for funding under PDM. Conversely, a hydrologic and hydraulic study used to determine the technical feasibility of a larger proposed project (i.e. a drainage ditch enlargement project) would be eligible under PDM as part of the overall project costs.
