MR. JOHNSON. And I would ask you: Do you know how many 

 projects are being undertaken under the Emergency 

 Conservation Program as a result of damage from this year's 

 floods? 



There is some concern that, in particular, the small 

 watershed program is being utilized while the ECP is not. 



The following amounts have been allocated to the States from 

 the $3 million available for the midwest flooding: 



States 



Illinois 

 Iowa 

 Kansas 

 Minnesota 

 Missouri 

 Nebraska 

 North Dakota 

 South Dakota

At the present time, we have no way of knowing the number of 

 projects that will be undertaken with Emergency Conservation 

 Program funds. County offices are still processing 

 individual farmer requests. This information will not be 

 available until all requests have been received and reviewed 

 by the applicable County Committees.
