That is one of those state by state things. Here in Illinois, I'd venture well over half of WRP is linear wetlands, maybe even 3/4. I actually work for NRCS and I have two projects working their way through the process for WRP, both are flood plain wetlands. We have actually been pushing more for linear wetlands for flood control reasons.
That said, every NRCS state office has a certain latitude to set rules for programs as long as it doesn't exceed the federal register. The biggest part of that is developing ranking criteria for programs so states can tailor the program to their priorities, and neighboring states often have very different interpretations of the same program. There is nothing federally that prohibits it as long as it meets acreage requirements etc, but that doesn't mean the state level can't set that. To be honest, it surprises me that this would be the case as most states struggle to find enough projects for WRP, here Illinois for instance we are almost always short of WRP projects. Have you talked to anyone or just looked online? I poked around a little on their website and I see what you mean, although their literature leads one to think that isn't the case. I wonder if they are doing something through EWP instead, though I found no specific mention of that and it is a limited funding program. I did see that they cannot offer permanent easements though, so they may be just trying to run everything through CRP and save WRP for closed watersheds.
