Description
Notice of Funding Opportunity Summary The Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program – Floodplain Easement (EWPP-FPE) is a voluntary program providing NRCS the opportunity to purchase floodplain easements as an alternative measure to traditional EWP recovery where it is determined that acquiring an easement in lieu of recovery is the more economical and prudent approach to reducing a threat to life or property or as specifically authorized through individual appropriations. NRCS may request the services of, and enter into cooperative agreements with, non-Federal entities to assist in providing specialized assistance necessary to implement conservation plans under this program. To that end, NRCS is directing resources toward the restoration of floodplains across the state of Iowa. The NRCS is requesting proposals from qualified individuals and organizations that share a common interest in the conservation and restoration of floodplain resources throughout Iowa under the framework of a five-year agreement with approximately $5 million in funding, if available.
