What is EWP? • Set up by Congress to respond to emergencies created by natural disasters. • Relieves imminent hazards to life and property caused by floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, windstorms, fires, and other natural occurrences. • All projects undertaken must be sponsored by a political subdivision of the state, such as a city, town, county, or conservation district.

  3. What are some typical projects? • Clearing debris from clogged stream channels • Restoring vegetation • Stabilizing eroded stream banks • Purchasing floodplain easements

  4. Financial Assistance and Eligibility • NRCS may provide up to 75% of the total funds needed to restore the natural function of an impaired watershed. The remaining 25% must come from local sources and can be in the form of cash or in-kind services. • Public and private landowners are eligible for assistance but must be represented by a project sponsor. The project sponsor must be a legal unit of government such as a town, city, county, or conservation district.
