The Brazos County SWCD as the recipient shall furnish to the County's Auditor, at a minimum, documentation indicating the use of funds received from the county. The County's Auditor may require the recipient to provide information necessary for the Auditor to properly account for all funds expended or received by the entity. Those services will include, but not be limited to, erosion control, water management, and rural development. This will be carried out by planning and application through informal agreements with land users, or, as required by Federal or State law. An information and recognition program will be used to inform the public. Technical assistance is utilized through a Memo of Understanding between the District and the USDA - Natural Resources Conservation Service. Erosion control will keep the land productive for its various uses for many generations. Sediment resulting from erosion clogs our local streams reducing water carrying capacity and resulting in local flooding. Excessive siltation ruins our local wetlands, and; therefore, reduces a dwindling wildlife habitat. Silt from erosion carries many pollutants directly into our local streams and rivers. Conservation practices consist of erosion control structures, erosion control ponds, gully shaping, diversions, vegetating old fields, proper management of grazing resources. Water management includes recommendations for proper irrigation, flood control, and water quality. Irrigated crops account for 75% of all water used. Proper irrigation saves that resource for tomorrow's uses including domestic consumption. Proper irrigation helps to keep agriculture pollutants from entering underground water supplies. Conservation practices include total evaluation of irrigation systems and application procedures, precision land leveling, and underground pipelines. Water management includes floodplain management. The District's role in Rural Development in Brazos County is in providing fire protection utilizing dry hydrants. Insurance rates outside the city limits can be lowered a great deal, as well as provide a reliable source of water to fight rural fires. Farm ponds provide the water and we plan the dry hydrant system The District is evaluating the use of artificial wetlands to replace septic tank filter fields. The prospects are very promising, but, much work remains to be done before this technology can be implemented. Water quality in rural Brazos County will be greatly enhanced if this method can be used. Job fag The District and the County have interacted ever since the inception of the District in 1942. Many conservation problems affect not only the individual landowner but the County itself. The District contracts to the Brazos County to provide the above services for 2008 FY for $5,500.00.
