(A) The city supports the development of flood control protection for the Bernalillo to Belen portion of the Rio Grande at least equal to that currently provided by the Corps of Engineers for the city consistent with the various local government policies and concerns and including the environmental aspects of the proposed Plan B for the areas outside of Albuquerque.
(B) The city has an acceptable level of flood protection and believes that the costs of constructing a flood control system to protect the city from the Standard Project Flood of 70,000 cfs exceed the benefits to be derived from the lower risk of flooding.
(C) It shall be the policy of the city that all new river crossings or the replacement, rebuilding or significant alteration of currently existing crossings shall be so constructed as to allow the safe passage of the Standard Project Flood.
(D) The city urges the Congress of the United States to require the integration of flood control projects with watershed management for both flood control and conservation.
