All cost-share practices must be built to Division of Conservation (DOC) approved standards. Specifications are based on USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Field Office Technical Guide Standards and Specifications. Cost-share funds are allocated using a ranking process approved by the Division of Conservation.  Landowners should receive notice of approved projects no later than July 23, 2018.

In addition to State cost-share funds, the Douglas County Conservation District has additional funds allocated for projects in the Upper Wakarusa Watershed surrounding Clinton Lake.

The District provides landowners financial and technical assistance to implement approved conservation practices. Funding is provided by the Division of Conservation, Kansas Department of Agriculture through appropriation from the Kansas Water Plan Fund.
