Hurricane Helene Agricultural Disaster Recovery Program
The Hurricane Helene Agricultural Disaster Recovery Program is funded by USDA Block Grant to repair infrastructure loss including roads, bridges, and culverts. Eligibility is determined by track.
| Track | Description |
|---|---|
| Track 1 | NRCS Standard Repair: Roads, culverts, and bridge repairs are consistent with NRCS CPS 560 and 578 standards. The site may be eligible for 90% cost share under NRCS Standard Repair. |
| Track 2 | Alternative Repair: Roads, culverts, and bridge repairs do not meet NRCS CPS criteria, but a qualified engineer or staff with the appropriate JAA determines site conditions are stable, safe, and non-limiting for the current road use. The site may be eligible for 70% cost share under Alternative Repair. |
*A scaling factor may be applied for roads, bridges, and culverts if the amount needed to satisfy eligible applications is projected to exceed available funding. The scaling factor will reduce the cost share percentage for both Tracks.
