|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.B.2. WILD NE AND OTHER PROGRAMS

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.B.3. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE & OTHER ITEMS
Rationale:
The O & M staff continue to inspect watershed dams, cut and spray trees on our recreational properties. We hired a drone to spray areas along the Clear Creek Levee such as Phragmites, Purple Loosestrife, and trees. Shred the roadsides around Wanahoo.
Some time in August, we will start our mowing circuit on dams, recreation area roadsides, levees and ditches. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.B.3.a. Rehabilitation of Cottonwood 21-A, NRCS & HDR
Rationale:
The final contract and scope has been signed between the NRD and HDR. Before the signatures, the contract was reviewed by NRD staff and legal counsel. The Scope was reviewed by the NRCS.
A kick-off meeting is scheduled for August 17th at the NRD office.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.B.3.b. Czechland RV Camping Electrical Upgrades
Rationale:
G & R Electric installed 50 amp service to four RV campsites for $1150. Now eight of the 11 RV pads have the option of 30 or 50 amp service.
Czechland has three free non-electrical RV pads. If we were to power these pads and/or build additional pads, we would need more service from Butler Public Power. Here are two options from BPPD: Option 1 - Upgrade existing service to 600/800 amps to feed more camper sites. Butler PPD would set a bigger transformer at no charge to feed the larger load. All additional equipment would be purchased and installed by your electrician. With this option, you may run into voltage drop issues on the secondary side depending on how far away the new sites are. Option 2- Add additional service to feed new camping sites. Butler PPD would install underground primary wire @ $8.38/ft from the existing transformer to the desired location. A 200 amp meter/breaker combo socket would be provided at no additional charge. If a 320 amp service is required, it can be purchased through BPPD for $818.01. The new service would require a 7 year contract and there is a monthly $27.50 facility charge (same as the current service). |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.B.3.d. Lake Wanahoo Archery Range
Rationale:
Heimann and Schomer met with Henry and Marty Waverka on July 20. We met to go over Henry's Eagle Scout plans to build a 40 yard archery range just northwest of the boat ramp. Henry has secured the Big Game Conservation Association as a sponsor who will provide funding for the materials to build the range and a commitment to maintain the target structures in the future. Heimann has developed an interlocal agreement between the District and BGCA (attached). NRD legal counsel has reviewed the agreement and it will go before the BGCA board on August 8th. Henry plans to build the project on September 23rd and prep/layout work the week before. The NRD will assist by digging holes and providing limestone.

6.B.5.d. Noonan / Snitily Wetland Property
Rationale:
Several years ago we made the decision to name segments of our Wanahoo trail system after the names of the landowners who previously owned the property the trails are located. We have had a request to name the approx. 176 acres of the LPNNRD owned wetland property located in the NW most portion of our Wanahoo land after the Noonan and Snitily families who owned that land dating back to the mid 60's.
Recommended Motion(s):
To name the NW most portion of the our Wanahoo Property - "Noonan/Snitily Wetland" and put signage in that area. Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.

6.B.6.b.1. Past events
Rationale:
July 7th: Coffee Lakeside had two attendees. It rained, so I ended up doing the presentation indoors.
July 11th-12th: I&E meeting in Ord. July 17th: Starry Night at the Lake event. We had close to 35 people attend this event. July 19th: Wildflowers and Wine Night drew in 15 people. Attendance was a lot lower than the past two years. July 21st: Mothing Bioblitz event. UNL brought 6 summer scholar students who are in the entomology field. No members of the public attended, but the students, myself, and professor Golick had a great time. I'm hoping to do another bioblitz soon. July 27th: Mead Public Library, story time hour. Cancelled.

|
6.B.7. RURAL WATER SYSTEMS
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.B.7.a. Colon System
Rationale:
The Colon RWD has been carrying an outstanding balance of $344.20 for the Ralph Palmer account. Of that amount, $230.20 is for water services, the remaining is sewer service due to the Village of Colon. Efforts to contact/reach Mr. Palmer by both NRD and Colon haven't succeed; word is he moved out of state. The RWD will need to write off the water expense.
Colon RWD completed the tri-annual lead and copper testing the past month. Once results are received from the lab results will be sent to participating homeowners; five sample sites are utilized, all samples must be taken from faucets that are regularly used for drinking, i.e. kitchen, bath. The RWD conducted 6 locate requests the past month. Routine monthly sampling completed, bills mailed 7/31.
Recommended Motion(s):
To write off Ralph Palmer's water expense of $230.20. Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.B.7.b. Bruno System
Rationale:
The Bruno water tower radio system needs to be upgraded; the signal from the tower to the meter pit to open the valve is not working so to fill water tower requires manually operating the valve. The Bruno RWD is not liable for the radio system outside of the meter pit, therefore,repair/replacement costs fall to the Village of Bruno.
The RWD conducted 2 locate requests, completed routine sampling and bills mailed 7/31. |

6.C.2.a.2. John Healy Variance Requests
Rationale:
This item was discussed at the May Water Committee Meeting with concern by the Committee about the amount of groundwater that actually would be used presently and in the future. John Healy handed out maps and explained that the City of Schuyler was looking for more application sites for the city's treated lagoon water. John has been using the treated water for numerous years. He receives a water analysis from the City annually, which he stated was low in nitrates. The Committee felt because of the environmental benefits and with the City expanding, this was a justification for a good cause variance.
John Healy/Lonnie Kitt submitted an application last fall for expanded water use from an existing well in the NE 1/4 of S24-17-3E Colfax County. Currently, well G-035877 is used to flush an irrigation system that covers 225.1 acres. The main water source is the City of Schuyler lagoons. They would like to add another pivot irrigated system of 50 acres to the current system and continue to utilize the lagoon water. The committee felt this would be a good cause variance but wanted to consider the amount of water being pumped by the irrigation well. Staff will contact John Healy to discuss the options. The application scored 307.7 with limiting factors in stream depletion and saturated thickness, which is to be expected with applications this close to the river.
Recommended Motion(s):
Recommend approving the variance for John Healy additional 50 acres for the NE1/4 S24-17N-3E, Colfax County with the justification of utilizing Schuyler Treated Lagoon Water to decrease the risk of water contamination. Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.

6.D.6.a.2. Real Estate - Olsson & Great Plains Appraisal
Rationale:
Danielle Allen, Olsson real estate, Cody Gerdes, Great Plains Appraisal, and staff met to discuss the projected timeline for easement acquisitions. There was a delay caused by USACE permitting/mitigation planning which didn't allow Great Plains to start field work. All mitigation areas have been identified and included in exhibits Olsson has provided to Great Plains. It had been expected that we would need to work with two new landowners/parcels to fulfill mitigation requirements, however, after further planning they were deemed unnecessary.
Great Plains plans to have appraisals for 26AB and 27 ready for staff/committee review by next Projects committee, 8/31.
