More Emergency Work in Bristol

Additional Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) sites that were the result of Hurricane Irene have been identified in Bristol, and agreements made for assistance. The two projects were identified as exigencies due to the severe erosion and potential future loss of life and/or property.
