The 1936 flood was estimated to cost about $250 million in damage to houses and businesses and time lost, Uhl said. That was enough to resurrect a conversation about the steps that local, state and federal authorities could take to mitigate the annual flooding problem. Flood legislation had been proposed in previous years, but finally after the 1936 devastation across the northeastern and mid-Atlantic states and Washington D.C., lawmakers took a serious look when Congress reconvened.They passed the Flood Control Act of 1936, which authorized the construction of a series of locks, dams and reservoirs.
