(KNZA)--Brown County has been awarded federal funding for a steambank stabilization project southeast of Robinson.
The Brown County Commission Monday approved a grant award agreement with the Natural Resources Conservation Service for the project along 205th Road presented by District Conservationist Matt Sprick.
The Commission also approved the issuance of a check to the Division of Water Resources in an amount not to exceed $600 for a permit for the project.
The Commission is scheduled to open bids for the project at their December 19th meeting.
Sprick says the project is to start January 3rd and is scheduled for 10 days, weather allowing.
Federal funding through the NRCS’s Emergency Watershed Protection Program will pay for 75 percent of the project cost, with the county responsible for the remaining 25 percent.
About 350 to 400 feet of the stream bank along the Wolf River will be repaired. The stream bank suffered heavy erosion during a storm on September 13th that brought heavy rainfall and flooding.
