Emergency Watershed Protection
The purpose of the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program is to
undertake emergency measures, including
the purchase of flood plain easements, for runoff retardation and soil erosion
prevention to safeguard lives and property from floods, drought, and the
products of erosion on any watershed whenever fire, flood or any other natural
occurrence is causing or has caused a sudden impairment of the watershed.
