EWP stabilization project to protect public infrastructure from continued erosion. Damage survey report# 5328-422 brabton RD 1

County of Warren, Mississippi received a $175,843 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program (CFDA 10.923) on September 18, 2025, with a completion deadline of September 15, 2026. The award funds an erosion stabilization project on Brabton Road designed to protect public infrastructure from continued erosion damage, as documented in Damage Survey Report #5328-422. This project represents the county's ongoing participation in the EWP Program, which provides post-disaster recovery measures including runoff retardation, erosion prevention, and infrastructure protection.

The county, acting through its Board of Supervisors and Sheriff's Office divisions, is responsible for project implementation, including site stabilization work, acquisition of necessary land rights, permitting, and long-term operations and maintenance of the completed infrastructure protection measures. This award is consistent with the county's established role as a primary NRCS EWP Program sponsor, having received multiple cooperative agreements since 2021 for similar road and bank stabilization projects across Warren County designed to mitigate erosion and flood damage to public assets.
