(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners met with Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Kirkendall Tuesday to discuss a grant program from the United State Geological Survey.
USGS is proposing a stream gauge be installed and operated on the Muddy Creek at Verdon. The initial cost for the gage equipment and installation totals $13,500.
Kirkendall explained to the Board there is grant funding available. At the present time Emergency Management is researching whether or no other agencies are interested in being a partner and sharing the cost.
The Nemaha NRD and USGS are each paying a third of the initial cost, which comes to $4,500 each. Richardson County and other interested entities would split the other $4,500 expense.
The operation and maintenance costs for May 1 – September 20, 2017 is estimated at $6,820 which is split in thirds. A full year of operation is estimated to cost $14,975.
Further review will be done, before a decision is made.
