Overview

The Small Dams Program by the Lower Platte North NRD offers cost-share funding for landowners to construct small dams for flood control and drainage improvement. Eligible participants can receive up to 65% funding, or 75% in priority watersheds, with a maximum of $15,000 per project. Additional funding may be available based on specific site conditions. This initiative aims to enhance watershed management and support local landowners in sustainable land use practices.

The Lower Platte North NRD provides cost-share funds to counties and landowners for building road structures and small dams for flood control, drainage improvement, and grade stabilization.
Landowners may receive up to 65% cost-share for constructing small dams on their property, or up to 75% in NRD priority watersheds. The funds may be used for construction (not including site preparation), seeding, and fencing (if required by the NRCS). The maximum cost-share available is $15,000 per project.
If the site is above an NRD recreation area or if other special conditions exist, the NRD may approve a higher cost-share percentage and increase the maximum amount of cost-share funds. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
