Emergency Watershed Protection
The purpose of the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program is to
undertake emergency measures, including the purchase of flood plain
easements, for runoff retardation and soil erosion prevention to
safeguard lives and property from floods, drought, and the products of
erosion on any watershed whenever fire, flood or any other natural
occurrence is causing or has caused a sudden impairment of the
watershed.
