Introduction:
The Lincoln Soil and Water Conservation
District (SWCD) was organized July 3, 1944. The SWCD works with
landowners in both rural and urban settings to carry out a program for
the conservation, use and development of soil, water and related
resources. The
district is a political subdivision of the State and is governed by a
five member Board of Supervisors. The board sets policy, hires
employees, and is responsible to see that the operations of the district
are run effectively and according to law and rule.
The mission of the Lincoln
SWCD is:
-
to identify existing and
potential problems and opportunities for the protection, management
and development of water and related land resources; and
-
to develop objectives and carry out
a plan of action to promote sound hydrologic management of water and
related land resources and effective environmental protection.
Priority Concerns:
-
Gound Water Protection for
the Verdi Well Field.
-
Surface Water Quality
Deterioration priorities being Nutrients and Bacteria focusing on
two identified TMDL sites: Lake Shaokatan and the South Branch of
the Yellow Medicine River.
-
Erosion and Sediment Control
