Warner Draw Watershed Supplemental Plan & Environmental Impact Statement for the Gould Wash Flood Protection Project

Link

The United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Washington County, and Hurricane City announce the availability of the Warner Draw Watershed Supplemental Watershed Plan No. 10 and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Plan-EIS) for the Gould Wash Flood Protection Project (Project).
