Document Description
Project is being implemented on behalf of Mr. David Parker. Mr. Parker contacted the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) following damage to his property during the flood of January 2006. Upon investigation of damage on Mr. Parkers' property, NRCS determined that soil erosion, watershed impairment, and threat to life and property were the result of this natural disaster (flood). Emergency activities proposed include installation of rock riprap keyed into the toe of the bank, bank sloping to a 1.5:1 slope, and native plant species installed where appropriate. Implementation of these proposed measures serves to prevent further soil erosion, restore watershed impairment, and address the immediate threat to life and property.
