Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Land Conservation Department to promote and assist in wise land use decisions that preserve, protect, and enhance the natural resources of Clark County.
DNR Runoff Advisory Forecast:
If you have a manure storage that had a permit on 05/18/1999 and after, you are required to have and implement a Nutrient Management Plan (call us for assistance and for cost-share funds). As a reminder, all Nutrient Management Plans are due April 1st of each year. NMP's received after April 1 may be subject to a citation.
We have cost-share funds available for these and other practices:
-
Well decommissioning (water wells not being used must be properly closed per DNR regulations)
-
Waste storage closures
-
Grassed Waterways
-
Stream Crossings
-
Wetland Ponds/Restorations
