Provide financial and technical assistance to the center town trustees to prepare riprap and gabion repair along creek and spook hollow RD in morgan county, OH.

The Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service awarded a $130,650 Cooperative Agreement to Center Township Trustees on June 9, 2026, to prepare riparian repair work—riprap and gabion installation—along a creek and Spook Hollow Road in Morgan County, Ohio. The funding flows through the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (CFDA 10.923), which provides emergency recovery assistance for runoff retardation and erosion prevention following natural disasters that threaten life and property. The performance period runs through July 30, 2027. The Center Township Trustees, doing business as Center Township Garage, serve as the project sponsor responsible for accomplishing the installation work, furnishing local cost-share, obtaining necessary land rights and permits, and maintaining operation and maintenance responsibilities for the life of the project. The EWP Program reimburses eligible sponsors for emergency measures that relieve imminent hazards to life and property created by watershed emergencies; work may be executed through federal or local contracts at the sponsor's election.
