Description

                                WRAPS Cost-Share Sign Up

     The Phillips, Smith, Jewell, Mitchell, Osborne and Rooks County Conservation Districts are accepting applications until August 12, 2016 in the Targeted Areas of Waconda Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) Program. The Waconda WRAPS project was awarded a grant from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) to provide water quality assistance to the Waconda Lake watershed.

     Following the sign-up deadline, the applications will be evaluated and approved on a priority basis.  The sign-up does not guarantee approval or cost-share assistance.

     Practices available for cost-share are:  terraces, terrace restoration, waterways, critical area planting, Riparian Buffers and alternative livestock water supplies.

     There are maximum payment limits set for the different practices and a landowner cannot be reimbursed more than 70% of the actual cost.

     Once an application has received approval you may start implementation.  Cost-share assistance is not available for projects completed prior to approval.  Furthermore, practices must comply with USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Field Office Technical Guide Standards and Specifications, or other standards and specifications.

     If you have any questions or would like to apply, stop by or call the Phillips, Smith, Jewell, Mitchell, Osborne and Rooks County Conservation District/NRCS offices.
