EAGLE -- Landowners in Eagle are eligible for federal funding to help remove debris from the flooding that occurred this month in the Yukon River community. The Emergency Watershed Protection program has $25,000 for the cleanup. Among possible uses of the money is temporarily storing contaminated materials in safe locations and removing contaminated materials, said Robert Jones, state conservationist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Cities, villages and conservation districts are among the entities eligible to receive funding. The program covers 75 percent of a project's cost, with the local entity paying the rest, Jones said.
More information is available by calling one of NRCS's 12 Alaska offices. The Anchorage office number is 271-3951. Other offices can be found at www.ak.nrcs.usda.gov/contact/fieldoffices.html.
