Bank stabilization: severe erosion along CR 121 and CR 184 roadway embankments threatening further damage and potential loss of roadway and utilities

The Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service awarded the Carroll County Board of Supervisors a Cooperative Agreement valued at $148,070.09 on September 24, 2025, to fund bank stabilization work addressing severe erosion along County Roads 121 and 184 roadway embankments in Mississippi that threatens further damage and potential loss of roadway and utility infrastructure. The award operates under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (CFDA 10.923), which provides emergency recovery measures for erosion prevention and runoff retardation to relieve imminent hazards to life and property created by natural disasters. Performance extends from the award date through July 13, 2026, with work taking place in Mississippi. The Carroll County Board of Supervisors, as the project sponsor, assumes responsibility for project implementation, local cost-share contributions, land rights acquisition, permit procurement, and operation and maintenance of the completed stabilization infrastructure.
