  District Cost-Share Program:
 
The DeKalb County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is accepting applications for a cost-share program designed to assist landowners with resource concerns that are not eligible for financial support from federal or state programs. The DeKalb County SWCD is interested in promoting conservation practices with landowners that own small acreage or non-agricultural land with erosion, water quality or other problems and are interested in correcting the problem.
Conservation practices that are mandated by regulatory programs such as Rule 5 will not be eligible for cost-share through this program.
 
  The resource concerns considered for cost-share are one or more of the following:
                      *reduction of soil erosion (i.e. streambank erosion)
                      *reduction of sedimentation to surface water (i.e. streambank or gully
                        problems on non-agriculture land)
                      *reduction or prevention of pathogens to surface water (i.e. failing
                        septic systems)
                      *situations that could have a potential affect on public health (i.e. land
                        that continues to have standing water).
  The DeKalb County SWCD Cost-Share Program will reimburse 75% of the eligible costs.
                     *The maximum amount reimbursed is limited to a total of $1500.00 per
                       project.                        
                    *Each individual landowner will be eligible for cost-share funds for one project per calendar year.
 

 The DeKalb County SWCD Board of Supervisors will evaluate applications for cost-share funds on a monthly basis at their board meetings.
                        *Board meetings are held in the DeKalb County SWCD Conference
                          Room on the third Thursday of each month at 7:30pm.
                        *Board meetings are open to the public and anyone may attend.

  For more information on the program or for an application, please contact our office at  925-5620 ext. 3 or stop by at 942 West 15th Street, Auburn,
