(b) Monitoring and enforcement. We, subgrantees, and States will monitor the properties purchased under this authority and ensure that the properties are maintained in open space use. We and the State may enforce the agreement by taking any measures that we or they deem appropriate.

The State will report to us on program effectiveness after project completion and after each subsequent flood event.
