The Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program is administered by the
USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service. The program provides technical and
financial assistance to reduce hazards to life and property from floods, ice
storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, or other watershed impairments caused by a
natural event. All practices must be economically and environmentally defensible
and conform to NRCS technical standards. Typical work in Missouri includes
repair of floodplain levees, removal of sediment and debris from drainageways,
removal of logjams that cause significant problems, and streambank protection
near public facilities.
