$$ Cost-Share Money Available $$

Do you have an unused well on your property? Are you experiencing erosion on your cropland? Do you have a streambank that is washing away? If so, we have the money and technical assistance to help.

The Partners for Conservation Program through the Kendall County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) provides cost-share assistance and other financial incentives for the construction or adoption of projects that conserve soil and protect water quality. Eligible practices include:

• Erosion and Sediment Control Projects (Examples: filter strips, grassed waterways, water and sediment control basins, grade stabilization structures).

• Water Well Decommissioning (Properly seal unused water wells.)

• Nutrient Management Plan Preparation and Implementation (Assists agricultural producers in optimizing the application of nutrients for plant production.)

• Streambank Stabilization Restoration Program (Construct vegetative, stone structure and other bio-engineering techniques for stabilizing eroding streambanks.)

• Special Projects:  (A new component of the Partners for Conservation program that addresses unique practices and can include: urban retrofitting, stream crossings, shelterbelts, windbreaks and ecologically sensitive area protection. If you have a resource need that is not listed, just let us know – we may have the assistance and funds to help!)
