NWC Interim Executive Director Gene Saurborn-WV visiting this week as we work on a variety of NWC agreement activities and transition related discussions. Long time NWC member Tom Goode with the Oklahoma Conservation Commission has been serving as host and tour guide. We had a great session and Teams meeting in Chickasha, OK on Monday. Gene and Tom made a round through Western Oklahoma yesterday. Gene got to see and visit some of the OCC’s Watershed Operations facilities, District staff and equipment as well as tour a few sites. HDPE slip lining along with repairs and full rehab were on the tour stops. He also learned what an individual order of fries looks like at Jake’s Rib in Chickasha, Oklahoma…they tried to warn him, lol!

We regularly advocate for the USDA NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection program (EWP) with the hope that it won’t have to be pressed into service. Hurricane Helene is the type of incident that magnifies the importance of EWP and the EWP is an important part of the effort to muster recovery resources. If you were in the storm path our hearts and wishes for a rapid recovery go out to you. If you are wondering how you can help..a simple step would be to share information about EWP opportunities with those in charge of the recovery effort. Feel free to share the information posted below.
