The Emergency Watershed Protection Program provides assistance to sponsors implementing emergency recovery measures for runoff retardation and erosion prevention to relieve imminent hazards to life and property created by natural disasters. The program is not line-item funded and depends on emergency supplemental appropriations. Project sponsors must apply within 60 days of a natural disaster occurrence; NRCS investigates eligibility and prepares cost estimates within 60 days of receiving a formal request. NRCS enters into a Cooperative Agreement with the sponsor specifying responsibilities including local cost-share, land rights, permits, and long-term operation and maintenance. Work is accomplished through federal or local contracts, and records of operation are maintained for the life of the project.
