(KLZA)-- The Nemaha Natural Resources District Board of Directors approved a resolution setting the property tax levy within the district boundaries at 2.99 cents per $100 of valuation when they met for their September Board meeting.

A significant portion of the Nemaha NRD expenses in the next fiscal year will again be rehabilitation of aging watershed structures.

Board members awarded a bid to Borrenpohl Excavating to remove trees at Kirkman's Cove Recreation Area northwest of Humboldt at a cost of $29,500.

Irrigation well permits were approved for Otto Acres LLC in Johnson County and three permits were approved for James Gerdes in Nemaha County.

The Board also discussed a public request to review well permit procedures. The Programs & Projects Committee will be reviewing options and management practices at their next meeting.
