Maple Creek Watershed Improvement Project meeting recording now available

A virtual public meeting was recently held for the Maple Creek Watershed Improvement Project Work Plan – Environmental Assessment (Plan-EA).  The meeting was facilitated by FYRA Engineering to discuss the project development with the public and receive comments and ideas.  The Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District (LENRD) is partnering with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to complete the work plan.

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 more and to access the recording of the virtual meeting held on March 2nd.  Written comments or requests should be submitted to Curt Becker, LENRD Projects Manager at cbecker@lenrd.org, or dropped off at the LENRD office at 1508 Square Turn Boulevard in Norfolk.

The Maple Creek Watershed Improvement Project is located in Stanton, Platte, Cuming, Colfax, and Dodge Counties in Nebraska.
