West Virginia Statewide Flood Plan
After three years of development, the WV Flood Protection Task Force, with help from Senator Robert C. Byrd, has presented the first ever West Virginia Statewide Flood Protection Plan. The plan was presented to a joint committee of the West Virginia Legislature, which is evaluating flood protection options. The WV Flood Protection Task Force is made up of many state and federal agencies and is lead by the WV Conservation Agency (WVCA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
