Rationale:  Are there any additions or corrections to the agenda?  

Rationale:  Tyler Young and Kris Poly with Water Strategies will be available via Zoom.  Their monthly report and representation agreement is attached.

Rationale:  Are there any additions or corrections to the minutes? If not, they will be approved on the consent agenda.  

Rationale:  Attached find absence requests from Yosten (Farming) for the June Meeting and Meyer (Family Reunion) for the July Meeting.

Rationale:  Staff has met with two firms that are interested in bidding on our insurance needs. 

Rationale:  I have been notified by our current cleaning lady, September 1, 2021 will be her last day of service.  Staff will prepare paperwork to advertise for bids with a deadline of 9-1-21.  Anna wanted me to thank the board of directors for hiring a 16 year-old high school student 7 1/2 years ago and trusting her with the responsibility of keeping the Lower Platte North NRD office clean and disinfected.  

Rationale:  Management will update the Board on the current status of the construction work being conducted in the Wanahoo Dam stilling basin.

Rationale:  Water Specialist, Will Breuggeman has requested permission to transition into working 1/2 time for our district beginning in September.  Will's wife, Morgan, is a nurse and has been accepted into a traveling nurse program which will provide a substantial increase in pay but requires 13 week placements around the country.  I have discussed this request with Will, Daryl and Tom and would like to get input from directors on this possibility.  Staff will present a potential plan for moving forward.

Rationale:  Attached find Gottschalks time and expense sheets. 

Rationale:  Each Committee has reviewed their portion of the budget with the Executive Committee charged with reviewing the Administrative and Personnel Expenses.

The Budget Workshop was held on Tuesday, August 3rd at 5:00 p.m. (Zoom will be available)

Our Budget Hearing will be held on Monday, August 9th, beginning at 5:00 p.m. , just prior to our August Board Meeting.  It is anticipated that we will approve our FY 22 Budget that evening.

At the September 13th Board Meeting we will set our FY 22 Levy.
 

Rationale:  We have no unfinished business.

Rationale:  Tree removal bids for the Wanahoo Wildlife Areas were due Tuesday, July 27.
Bids will be opened at committee meeting. This project will be funded through the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Program. The contract/agreement with Game & Parks was approved and signed in May.
Two bids were received via email. 1) Steven Salwei, $20,000 for 2 of the 3 areas.
2) Billy Chromy, $15,000 for 3 areas.
Bids are attached.

Rationale:  The O & M crew continues to inspect, cut, spray & treat trees and weeds on our watersheds dams and projects as weather permits.

Rationale:  A meeting was held between the District, FYRA Engineering & Valley Corp on Monday, July 19 to discuss a plan forward for completing the Wanahoo Stilling Basin repair. 
The District, FYRA & Valley Corp agree that under the terms of the original contract a de-watering plan should be developed to complete the job. The District will delay any talk of liquidate damages or legal action until we know there's a plan to complete the job.
To date, Valley said their plan is to use up to 10 relief wells and the one larger deep well east of the basin. The de-watering contractor needs 2 weeks to do a test pump, if the wells are usable, the de-watering plan would be ready in 4-6 weeks and work in the stilling basin would possibly start after Labor Day.
The District would like Andrew Phillips of Olsson, to advise Valley on their de-watering plan.
The District with the assistance of FYRA will ask FEMA for a change of scope on the project to address incorporating additional relief wells, pouring a layer of concrete on the basin floor to replace the layer of RCC that scoured away, and including all engineering, design and observation for this project.
An extension with FEMA beyond Sept. 21 is not an issue.
The most current invoice is attached, discussion of payment should be taken.

Rationale:  Staff would like to purchase equipment to assist in maintenance on our 2019 Flood Damaged Projects through FEMA's 428 Program. FEMA will cover 75% - 90% of the cost. Staff is inquiring for an official notification from FEMA.
Staff would like to budget in Capital Outlay for a New Bobcat T770 at a price of $62,416.60, a new tractor w/ front wheel assist for mowing dams, levees and ditches, either a New Holland T6.145 at $119,000 - $121,000 or JD 6130M or 6145M at $127,000 - $145,500, (duals need to be added). Also, we would like to purchase a flow meter for monitoring the relief wells.
We are free to trade or sell any equipment we replace.
(See Attachment)

Rationale:  Saunders County Hwy Dept. has completed the dirt work along Railroad Ave/Czechland shoreline. They received a bid for hauling rock from Gana Trucking in which the rock will be hauled and placed during the month of August. We hope to have this completed by September, so we can forward paper work to NEDEE for cost-share assistance. 

Rationale:  Elbert Traylor was present to discuss ideas for a dog training facility on the Lake Wanahoo property. The area he is considering is north of Co. Rd P and between Co. Rd 17 and the Sand Creek. He and his colleague were here a couple of years ago and gave a presentation. They would like to start the process with a design and move through the necessary steps in hopes of having this completed in a 2-year time frame.

Rationale:  Monthly sampling completed, meters read and bills will be mailed 7/30.

Rationale:  Monthly sampling completed, meters read and bills will be mailed 7/30.

Rationale:  Discussion at Committee: Kody explained to the Committee that the wells would start pumping initially at 800 GPM, but could not keep the flow as the irrigation season continue. 
  
Seyon Farms, with Kody Karloff as tenant, applied for a replacement well permit for G-105753 located in Section 2-14N-9E.  The new well has been drilled but has the same issue as the old well; keeping pressure in the pivot is an issue.  Rod from AWS well drilling notified NRD staff and made them aware that this could be an issue before drilling.   Kody is requesting to keep the old well and join the 2 wells together to help in suppling enough water into the system.  This would require NRD approval to issue a supplemental well permit or convert the replacement well permit to a new permit.  Supplemental well policy is attached along with a map of the location.  This is in the HCA (Blue Area) of the District.   

Below is Rod's reply, attached is the test hole log:
"Hello Daryl,

In regards to the irrigation well (Lutton), the desired flow rate for the system would be 800 gallons per minute (gpm) as originally there are two pivots working off of one well.  The newly constructed well can flow at a rate of approximately 600 GPM so we are proposing to use the old well with the new well and flow each at 400 GPM.  With a total of 800 GPM, this will allow the producer to adequately irrigate the crops.  We are seeking approval for combining two wells with a total flow rate of 800 GPM.
 
Kind Regards,
Rod Wimer

Comments from Matt Bailey after a meeting with him, Chris Yosten and Carl Groteluschen along Meghan Langden (UNMC) and Casey Harper (Ag teacher)

Just following up with you on our meeting last week. Here's what I took away as possible BMP's for the area west of Schuyler.
1-Cover Crops. Personally, not super excited about it, but through conversations with agronomists and extension, I understand the concept well enough to think it should be an option.
2- Soybeans.  There's a lot of chemistry on the market for this endeavor. Unfortunately, I haven't found one that works for cheap.  $18-30/acre. Not always a silver bullet either. At least it's a crop we're familiar with and could be easier to incorporate cover crops down the road.
3-Chemigation.  Injection units are around $2000-4000.  It's not for everyone. I've got several systems that, due to age and reliability, I would hesitate to hook up a new injector to. This might encourage spoon-feeding the crop.  Also, possibly eliminates the need for stabilizer. If nothing else, it does mandate some interaction between producers and staff. (site inspection)

Not one of these is a solution. I'm sure of that. They're all places to start.  Definitely conversation starters.  I am super excited about the chance to work with Schuyler Community Schools.  I'm glad the committee is willing to throw so many resources in my backyard. Hopefully they play along.  Julie will be an awesome asset to the team.

Again, thanks for your help.  I really appreciate being in the loop.  Let me know how to help.

Bailey

Staff comments
Cover Crops — NRCS payment multi-species 33.62/acre, Single Species 24.04/acre.   There is 30,840 acres that were reported in 2020.  If 10 percent of these acres planted cover crops that would be 3,084 acres and $103,684 for cover crop payment.  
Soybeans - If cost-share is $25/acre, then that would $77,100 for 10% of the acres.  
Chemigation - There is 328 irrigated fields, so if we cost-share on 10% of these field at $2,000/field that would $65,600.

Total cost for all 3 practices would be $246,384.   If you look at this over 2 years, that would be $492,768 for best management practices.

Other practice ideas 

• Waive the Chemigation Permit fee for 3 – 5 years ($90 for new, $30 for renewal)
• Incentive for decreasing nitrogen use like 25 lbs — $10/acre)
• Reward producers that do extra BMPs.  Like 1 star for one thing, 2 stars for two and so forth. 

Staff has met with Casey Harper (Schuyler Ag teacher) and Julie Kriekemeier (Extension assistance for Colfax County) in hope of increasing the education in the area.  

Attached is an outline of some ideas for education in the Nitrogen Management  Area. 

Committee discussed with staff the different ideas.  It was also suggested considering corn hybrids that developed nodules to supply its own nitrogen and a dedicated demonstration farm.  Staff will continue working in these areas for increase awareness and the possibility of forming an after school Natural Resource Club.   Committee decided to set aside an extra $75,000 in the budget and discuss at a later date on what items to consider for cost-sharing.  Staff will continue to pursue grants to help in the funding.  

Rationale:  An invoice is attached from Phoenix Webgroup for $9,387.50 for updating the online reporting site.  This contract (approved April 2021) was split into 2 payments with the first one at signing and the second payment in the new fiscal year.  

Rationale:  A  quote has been received for $3,042.35 from In-Situ for installing 3 data loggers.  Russ spoke with Dean Grotelueschen when at the Dakota East site.  Dean is David Grotelueschen brother.  He asked Russ if loggers had been installed in the two shelters at their wells.  Now that we’re in new Fiscal Year can cables for the following be ordered?  Dean said they have not yet irrigated from the ‘new’ well and wanted to know if we would install logger before they began pumping.
 

• G-133243 (inactive well - has small shelter and METOS pole/unit in place) - cable length 270’
• G-133949<2R> (second well replacement completed in 2020; has small shelter) - cable length 270’

 Bruce Schmit well is ½ mile from Highway 81 in Butler County.  Small shelter and METOS pole/unit in place at G-035639R - cable length 310’

Rationale:  Staff will go over the budget items at meeting.

Rationale:  This week's beach Bacteria and Harmful Algal Bloom results are now posted on the NDEE web page (Current Health Alerts and Sampling Results For This Week). 
  
Eight beaches will be on "Health Alert" this week. NDEE in conjunction with numerous collaborators monitor public beaches and sample for microcystin, a toxin produced as a result of a Harmful Algal Bloom. A lake that exceeds 8 ppb of microcystin will be placed on "Health Alert". That lake will remain under  "Health Alert" Status until such time that it has tested below 8  ppb. If a lake is under a Health Alert, signs will be posted recommending people avoid full body contact activities such as swimming, wading, skiing, jet skiing, etc. 
 

Current Lakes on HAB* Health Alert
Lake	County	Microcystin (ppb)	Sample Date
Bluestem Lake	Lancaster	14.41	7/19/2021
Calamus Reservoir	Garfield	>35	7/19/2021
Kirkman's Cove Lake	Richardson	8.51	7/19/2021

Louisville Lake No. 2 (SRA)	Cass	687	7/19/2021
Valentine Mill Pond	Cherry	579	7/19/2021

Sunshine, warm weather and excess nutrients in the water has led to a very large number of lakes being on Health Alert this week. Remember we can not sample all lakes in the state and only sample those that have public beaches or a large number of people coming into contact with the water. It is important that you know what to look for when out at your favorite lake. 

For further information about our BeachWatch Program, E.coli, HABs and the microcystin toxin please visit the links on our BeachWatch website. (https://deq-iis.ne.gov/zs/bw/). This information is updated weekly on our web site.

Rationale:  Attached is FYRA's July 26th invoice totaling  $5,160 for Wahoo Creek Planning contract work, primarily adjusting the draft plan without Dam Site 83.  After this payment, $31,146.50 will remain under contract. This invoice will be submitted to NRCS for 100% reimbursement. 

Rationale:  Saunders County has prepared the Railroad Avenue Road for fabric and rip-rap for the Czechland Lake Shoreline/Road Stabilization Project. The County took bids on the fabric & rip-rap and these materials will be delivered to the site and placed in August. Attached is our approved Interlocal Agreement with Saunders County for the Project.

As part of the Wahoo Creek Watershed Water Quality Plan Phase II, JEO continues to work with NDEE on the Plan update.JEO continues to work with NDEE to complete our Watershed Plan Update. Attached is JEO's $634.50    invoice and  progress report.  After this payment, $16,270,50 will remain under our $31,630 contract. We are requesting NDEE reimbursement for this expense.  Also attached is the draft report on sediment load estimates and water quality assessment that is being reviewed by NDEE. 

 

Rationale:  Olsson will start dam design after NRCS approves the Wahoo Creek Watershed Plan. It is anticipated that FYRA will submit the plan for NRCS review by September 1, 2021. 

Rationale:  A JWMAB Meeting was held on July 21, 2021, at the Fremont Municipal Building. Attached is the Agenda and minutes from the February 23 meeting.

Rationale:  Dodge County, LPNNRD and Fremont representatives had a Zoom meeting with NRCS on July 2nd to discuss RFP proposals received for completing the Wateshed Plan Environmental Assessment for the Rawhide Creek Watershed. Three firms submitted proposals (FYRA, JEO & Burns & McDonnell). The review committee recommended Burns and McDonnell based primarily on the perceived lowest proposed cost to complete the work.  During Dodge County's contract discussions, Burns and McDonnell provided an adjusted scope and amendments to their original project proposal. Following that discussion, the Dodge County's Attorney recommended not to accept the proposal and readvertise for new Requests for Proposals (RFP's), which will be received and reviewed in mid-August.

 NRCS has obligated funds for planning and conceptual design costs for surveys and investigations, environmental studies, evaluation of alternatives, and preparation of plans and design prior to the authorization of assistance for the installation of works of improvement.  The assessment will evaluate feasible flood reduction projects that can hopefully be eligible for future federal Watershed Flood Prevention Operations (WFPO) program. While LPNNRD is a participating partner, this planning effort is 100% funded by NRCS, so we have not obligated any funding at this point.

Rationale:  Partner representatives have been meeting to discuss possible camera/water sensor options to monitor ice conditions/flooding at strategic Platte River locations. There were some issues working with the first company we tried to work with, so the group decided to look for other possibilities.  LPNNRD, PMRNRD, Dodge County and Fremont have entered into an interlocal agreement for this effort. However, this agreement might need to be updated depending on the direction the partners decide.  

Rationale:  A kick-off meeting with the selected consulting firm, JEO, was held on July 9th with Fremont, Dodge County and LPNNRD representatives (meeting minutes attached). JEO will be reviewing all available information about the area. Attached is a news release that was sent out for public input.  LPNNRD will meet with JEO next week to share information on the failed project effort that occurred in the mid 1990's. 

Rationale:  This Breach Repair Project is nearly complete.  LPNNRD has committed up to $50,000 toward the project. 

Rationale:  No new updates.  Most participating entities in our HMP have submitted plan adoption resolutions.  JEO last reported that they were still tracking down one or two entity resolutions. 

Rationale:  No new issues.

Rationale:  General Manager Gottschalk reviewed the Projects protion of LPNNRD's draft FY22 budget with the committee.

Rationale:  Attached find Water Strategies Representation Agreement.  This is a two-year agreement with the monthly retainer of $6,000 (LPNNRD portion $2,000) from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022 and $6,300 (LPNNRD poriton $2,100) from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2023. 

A motion will be needed to authorize Board Chair, Frank Pollard to sign the Representation Agreement with Water Strategies effective August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023 as attached. 

Rationale: 

NOTE: The agenda is on file at the LPNNRD office and may be changed up to 24 hours prior to the meeting as scheduled.
