| The Water Resources Cost-Share Program provides funds on a cost-share basis to assist landowners in the installation of enduring conservation practices. These practices are in the public interest and contribute to the protection and enhancement of water resources. All structures cost-shared by the State are to be built to USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Field Office Technical Guide Standard and Specifications. NRCS provides technical assistance to landowners free of charge. 70% of the actual cost or county average cost, whichever is less, is used as the basis for determining the amount of cost-share assistance you can receive. What practices are eligible for cost-share assistance? Waste Storage Facility Critical Area Planting Livestock Waste Treatment Lagoon Diversion Pond Livestock Windbreak Fencing Grade Stabilization Structure Grassed Waterway (new or rebuild) Pipeline Range seeding Spring Development Terrace (new or rebuild) Tank or Trough Livestock Well Mulching How do you apply for cost-share?
