The Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service awarded a $324,856.80 cooperative agreement to the State of Oklahoma, doing business as Conservation Commission, on September 16, 2025, for construction of erosion and water quality (EWP) bed stabilization at four watershed project sites in Oklahoma: Deep Red Run Site 2, Jack Creek Site 2, and Jack Creek Site 8 in Tillman County, and Rush Creek Site 21 in Grady County. Work is performed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with an ultimate completion date of April 27, 2026. The funding falls under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (CFDA 10.923), which provides assistance for emergency recovery measures addressing runoff retardation and erosion prevention following natural disasters. The EWP Program is not line-item funded and relies on emergency supplemental appropriations; project sponsors must apply within 60 days of a natural disaster occurrence and maintain operation and maintenance records for the project lifecycle.
