The project represents a typical application of the EWP Program, which provides financial and technical assistance to state and local government entities demonstrating capacity to obtain necessary land rights, permits, and assume long-term operation and maintenance responsibilities. The performance period of approximately 13 months reflects standard project timelines for emergency watershed protection activities undertaken in response to natural disaster impacts.
