USDA Offering Buyouts Along Dunloup Creek
WEST VIRGINIA....
The area around Dunloup Creek, a tributary of the New River, has suffered repeated flooding. The USDA wants to relocate landowners to areas outside the floodplain, and then convert yards along the stream to more natural streambank vegetation. About 255 parcels of land in the area have been repeatedly flooded. About 70 percent of those who were offered voluntary buyouts have signed up.
