(KLZA)-- The Nemaha Natural Resources District Board of Directors approved increasing the maximum cost-share for the Soil and Water Conservation Program from $8,000 to $14,000 and to include a ranking system for approving applications when they met in December.

Board members also approved a bid of $169,648 from Tim Sisco Construction for a repair project for the Upper Big Nemaha 7A project. The other bid from Husker Engineering was in an amount of $251,289.

A motion to rescind a motion from the November meeting concerning the Nitrogen Reduction Act Program Guidelines was approved. NRD Manager Kyle Hauschild explained there may not be enough applications to use all the money available in the program. The limit of 289 acres was set by state guidelines. Hauschild suggested once all applications were received, the Board could determine whether any additional restrictions would be needed.

Under the approved motion, the guidelines approved with a maximum per applicant of either $2,000 or 160 acres was removed.

The Board presented Directors Bill Niedfeldt and Jon Keithley with engraved clocks in recognition of their years of service on the Nemaha NRD Board.
