| USDA | USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Emergency Watershed Protection Program, Floodplain Easement | National | Other | Landowners | As an alternative method to traditional EWP Program Recovery, this program is available landowners and others where acquiring an easement is the best approach (more economical and prudent) to reduce threat to life and/or property. A primary goal of the program is to restore the land, to the maximum extent possible, to its natural condition. Restoration techniques include the use of structural and non-structural practices to restore the flow and storage of floodwaters, control erosion, and to improve management of the easement. | https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/programs/landscape/ewpp/ | NRCS purchases surface and other rights from the landowner, including the authority to restore and enhance the floodplain's functions and values. Ownership of the land is retained by the original landowner until they decide to sell or transfer the property to another party. Once an easement has been purchased and closed, closed, the boundary configuration and terms of the agreement cannot be modified under any circumstances. As compensation for the rights purchased by the NRCS, the landowner will receive the lowest of three values: (1) The fair market value of the land. The fair market value may be determined through either of two methods: an area-wide market analysis or survey or an individual Uniform Standards for Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) appraisal. (2) The geographic area rate cap (GARC). The GARC reflects the value the State Conservationist, with the advice of the State Technical Committee, determines to be fair compensation for the value of the easement. (3) A voluntary written offer by the landowner. When the landowner applies for the easements, he or she may voluntarily offer to accept less compensation than NRCS would offer. This may enhance the probability of the easement becoming enrolled. An offer to accept a lower compensation amount will be documented in writing on the ranking factors worksheet. |
