The Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service awarded a $241,061.25 cooperative agreement to County of Dickenson Virginia on April 27, 2026, under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (CFDA 10.923) for debris removal and stabilization measures in response to a natural disaster event in Dickenson County.

The recipient, operating as Dickenson County School Board, will implement emergency recovery measures to relieve imminent hazards to life and property created by the natural disaster. The agreement runs through November 1, 2027, with place of performance in Virginia.

The Emergency Watershed Protection Program provides assistance to sponsors, landowners, and operators implementing emergency recovery measures for runoff retardation and erosion prevention following natural disasters. Project sponsors must apply to the state conservationist within 60 days of the disaster occurrence. NRCS enters into a cooperative agreement with the sponsor specifying responsibilities, including local cost-share, land rights acquisition, permits, and operation and maintenance obligations. Eligible practices provide runoff retardation and soil erosion prevention while safeguarding lives and property. The program continues until all recovery measures are installed or installation is terminated by mutual agreement.
