2021 Metro Vermillion - Scott SWCD
A subwatershed analysis will be completed in the subwatersheds of the two headwater reaches (520 and 527) of the Vermillion River in Scott County. The proposed SWA would include the typical identification and prioritization of agricultural sediment and nutrient reduction practices, along with identifying upland storage/volume control and stream corridor quality and bank stability improvement opportunities. The measurable outcome will be a completed subwatershed analysis, with a table of potential project types and costs prioritized based on feasibility and cost/benefit.

(Watershed Based Implementation Funding)(a) $13,591,000 the first year and $13,375,000 the second year are for performance-based grants with multiyear implementation plans to local government units. The grants may be used to implement projects that protect, enhance, and restore surface water quality in lakes, rivers, and streams; protect groundwater from degradation; and protect drinking water sources. Projects must be identified in a comprehensive watershed plan developed under the One Watershed, One Plan or metropolitan surface water management frameworks or groundwater plans. Grant recipients must identify a nonstate match and may use other legacy funds to supplement projects funded under this paragraph.
