Virtual meeting to be held March 2nd for the Maple Creek Watershed Plan

FYRA Engineering will facilitate a virtual public meeting regarding the Maple Creek Watershed Improvement Project Work Plan - Environmental Assessment (Plan-EA).  The Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District (LENRD) is partnering with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to complete the work plan.  The public meeting will be held virtually through Zoom on Tuesday, March 2, 2021 beginning at 6:00 p.m.

The public is invited to attend the meeting to discuss the project development.  Personnel from the project team will be available to answer questions and receive comments.  The Maple Creek Watershed Improvement Project is located in Stanton, Platte, Cuming, Colfax, and Dodge Counties in Nebraska.

USDA-NRCS provides federal funding to local project sponsors so that they may work together to develop solutions for watershed issues such as erosion, floodwater and sediment damage, water quality and habitat improvements, and others.  This funding has been provided to the LENRD to create a watershed plan for the Maple Creek watershed.  The Plan-EA is scheduled to be finalized in late-2022 by FYRA Engineering.

Please visit the project website below to learn about the project and access the Virtual Public Open House on March 2nd, 2021. Written comments or requests should be submitted to Curt Becker, LENRD Projects Manager at cbecker@lenrd.org.  For those without internet access, information may be obtained at the LENRD office at 1508 Square Turn Boulevard in Norfolk.
