Consultants told the council the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) work can move faster on an ~8-month track while PL-566 design is longer; they suggested a phased approach to split fundable elements across programs to accelerate some work.

The full story

Consultants described running the short-term Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program in parallel with the longer PL-566 process so the town can address urgent flood-control needs now while PL-566 pursues larger rehabilitation goals. The consultant said EWP can be an "8 month time frame" for some work, while PL-566 design and construction require successive approvals and potentially longer waits for construction funding.
