Carbon County Flood Recovery Bridge Repair 
Frequently Asked Questions – Red Lodge, Mont., June 8, 2023

WHAT? East Side Road and Meeteetse Trail Road Bridge Replacement Project 

WHY? The unprecedented flooding of June 2022 destroyed both the north and south bridges over Rock Creek on East Side Road, as well as the Rock Creek bridge on Meeteetse Trail Road. Temporary bridges were placed summer of 2022 on the north end of East Side Road and at Meeteetse Trail Road. The south end of East Side Road did not receive a temporary bridge.

WHERE? The north end of East Side Road crosses Rock Creek approximately 4 miles south of Red Lodge. The south end of East Side Road crosses Rock Creek approximately 7 miles south of Red Lodge; both providing access to US 212. Meeteetse Trail Road crosses Rock Creek just south of the Red Lodge City limit. Private residences as well as public lands, trailheads and campgrounds are located on the east side of Rock Creek accessed by these bridges.
WHEN? Construction work necessary to prepare the road bed for bridge installation, and then work to actually install the bridges will begin June 19, 2023, focusing first on the south crossing of East Side Road, then moving to the north East Side Road and Meeteetse Trail Road bridge prep and placement in late summer. The East Side Road and Meeteetse Trail Road bridge replacement completion is anticipated to be late fall 2023, weather and material dependent.
HOW? Construction crews will be working 10 hour days, 7 days a week beginning June 19, 2023. Road approach preparations at the bridge placement sites will be completed prior to setting the bridges in place. Work to prepare the road for bridge placement will begin on the south end of East Side Road. Road prep work will then transition to the north side of East Side Road and Meeteetse Trail Road later in the summer. Once road approach and other prep work is completed, bridge placement will begin; focusing first on the south side of East Side Road before moving to the north side of East Side Road and Meeteetse Trail Road.

WHO? Wadsworth Brothers Construction of Draper, UT will be the primary contractor for this work contracted by Carbon County Board of Commissioners.

INFO? For more information on these bridge projects, contact Carbon County Disaster & Emergency Services – Public Information Officer – publicinformation@co.carbon.mt.us   or call the Bridge Repair Info Line at 406-425-3669.

USDA Makes Grants Available to Help People in Rural Montana Repair Their Homes Damaged By Natural Disaster in 2022 

Bozeman, Mont., March 23, 2023 – U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development in Montana State Director Kathleen Williams announced today the availability of grants to low-income Montanans so they can repair their homes damaged by flooding in 2022.

The homes must be located in Presidentially declared disaster areas. Low-income residents living in the following Montana counties are eligible for the funding: Carbon; Flathead; Park; Stillwater; Sweet Grass; Treasure; and Yellowstone.

“Montanans help their neighbors through difficult times. Last year’s flooding was one of those times, and the Montana spirit was on display as neighbors helped neighbors dig out, dry out, and mop up,” said Williams. “USDA Rural Development in Montana is proud to be part of this special Montana community and to help with needed resources to rebuild lives, homes, and communities, especially for those who can least afford to do so.”

The repair grants are available as part of $55.7 million in USDA supplemental disaster funding under the Rural Disaster Home Repair Grant Program. Through this program, eligible homeowners may apply to receive grants of up to $40,675 directly from USDA to repair their homes.

Funds will be available until expended and may be used for home repair expenses resulting from Presidentally declared disasters in calendar year 2022, preparing a site for a manufactured home, or relocating a manufactured home.

To be eligible, applicants must have household incomes that do not exceed the income limits based on household size and county of residence, homes must be located in an eligible rural area, and homes must be located in a 2022 Presidentially declared disaster area.

A second announcement is forthcoming regarding additional funding to help rural communities repair water infrastructure and essential community facilities. Additional resources to support rural communities seeking disaster assistance are available at https://www.rd.usda.gov/page/rural-development-disaster-assistance.

For more information on the Home Repair program contact Katina Uecker, USDA Rural Development in Montana Housing Programs Director, at katina.uecker@usda.gov.

USDA Rural Development has six offices in Montana – Billings, Bozeman, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell, and Missoula.

To learn more about investment resources for rural areas in Montana, call (406) 585-2587 or visit www.rd.usda.gov/mt.

Under the Biden-Harris Administration, Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities, create jobs and improve the quality of life for millions of Americans in rural areas. For more information, visit www.rd.usda.gov.

Crucial Flood Funding Now Available

The Red Lodge Area Community Foundation (Foundation) announced December 1, 2022 it is accepting grant applications for the Carbon County Disaster Relief fund to address crucial flood impacted housing needs in response to the June 2022 flood event. $300,000 is available right now to individual homeowners and landlords of long-term rental properties located in Carbon County, MT. 

To qualify, the property must have been directly impacted by the 2022 flood and require funding to repair crucial housing needs. This $300,000 for grants is the first round of an anticipated three rounds, for a total of $900,000 of grants to be made. The Founation is phasing the release of the funds through three rounds to ensure effective and impactful granting of funds. “By using three rounds, the Foundation will have an opportunity to ensure that all qualified households have time to learn about the grant availability, make an application, connect them with other ways to obtain relief resources, and potentially review and refine criteria for the following round of grants,” stated Tracy Timmons, Foundation Executive Director. The grants will generally range from $1,000 to $12,000 with a total maximum of all grant programs combined, per property, up to $24,000, which includes the $3,000 flood emergency relief funds that some people received earlier in the year. The Carbon County Disaster Relief funds are expected to compliment other housing resource possibilities people might have access to such as FEMA, SBA, personal loans and homeowners insurance.

The Foundation is also managing the Disaster Recovery Navigator support system. There are four navigators, two operating on each side

of the County, who are currently working with 61 active cases. Of those cases, the largest need identified has been housing repairs, at an estimated $1.3 million. Furniture and household items valued at $19,000 followed closely by Personal belongings at $12,000. That is a total of $1.33 million for just 61 households, more than the entire funding raised by the Foundation. The need is large and the Foundation set the funding priority on essential housing needs, as defined by the CDC: The principal function of a house is to provide protection from the elements. Which includes, in part, to protect against disease, injury, physiologic and psychologic needs.

 In addition to these funds, flood survivors can request to meet with a local recovery navigator, whose focus is to guide individuals to advocate and connect them to specific resources to meet their recovery needs, however that is defined by the individual. Disaster Recovery Navigators are funded by a separate $196,000 grant the Foundation secured from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy. Navigators work closely with the local long term recovery group that is providing access to additional resources to meet the needs of flood survivors, on a case by case basis.

 Contact Pam Peterson at pastorpampeterson@gmail.comDisaster Relief Fund applications are located online at www.rlacf.org or by calling Sheila at 406-446-2820. Sheila will assist with grant application questions and help people complete the online form over the phone or in person, if requested.

Emergency Conservation Program Assistance Available in Carbon County

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is accepting applications for the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) in Carbon County to address damages from the 2022 Flood Event in June.  ECP Flood signup for Carbon County started on July 5, 2022 and ends on September 2, 2022.
 

ECP helps you with the cost to restore the farmland to pre-disaster conditions. You may receive up to 75 percent of the cost of approved restoration activity. Limited resource, socially disadvantaged and beginning farmers and ranchers may receive up to 90 percent cost-share.

 

A 25 percent advance payment will be allowed for repair or replacement of fencing. This applies to the replacement of all fencing (including wood) with barbed wire, woven wire or electric fencing.  New wood fencing is not covered under this program, but replacement of flood damaged wood fencing with the covered fencing types is eligible.

 

The payment limitation for ECP is $500,000 per disaster, and the funds are limited to activities to return the land to the relative pre-disaster condition.

The approved ECP practices under this authorization include:
• EC1 – Removing debris from farmland
• EC2 – Grading, shaping, releveling, or similar measures
• EC3 – Replacing or restoring permanent fences
• EC4 – Restoring conservation structures and other installations
• EC8 – Field windbreaks and farmstead shelterbelts emergency measures

You must apply for assistance prior to beginning reconstructive work. FSA’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and environmental compliance review process is required to be completed before any actions are taken. Submission of an application after reconstructive work has been completed may not qualify for ECP. Conservation concerns that were present on the land prior to the disaster are not eligible for ECP assistance.


FSA county committees will evaluate applications based on an on-site inspection of the damaged land, taking into consideration the type and extent of the damage. An on-site inspection does not guarantee that cost-share funding will be provided.

For more information on ECP, contact Mandy Tabrizi at the Carbon County USDA Service Center at (406) 962-3300 ext. 2 or visit farmers.gov/recover.
