Landowners and residents of the Upper Big Blue Natural Resources District (NRD) are invited to attend an open house to learn more about the Upper Big Blue NRD’s recent water resource planning efforts that address both water quality and quantity.
This joint planning process, the first of its kind in Nebraska history, began in fall 2018 and will be complete in summer 2018. Partial funding for this project is provided by the NDEQ through a nonpoint source pollution grant.
The open house meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 2, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Upper Big Blue NRD Office (319 E. 25th Street, York, NE 68467). No formal presentations are planned.
The open house will feature informational displays and handouts detailing the community-guided planning efforts resulting in a draft Water Quality Management Plan and a set of goals and objectives for a to-be-developed Voluntary Integrated Management Plan.
