Property owners who are interested in completing a project must do the following:
-
GET STARTED WITH AN ONSITE EVALUATION WITH JARRETT DRILECK, CWSCD.
-
GET REIMBURSED FOR THE $150 FEE.
Our representative for the Watershed District is Jarrett Drileck. Any questions can be directed to him. Jarrett can be reached by phone at 218-828-6197, or by email at jarrett@cwswcd.org.
If applicants do a shoreline evaluation (cost of $150 each) by Crow Wing CSWD, the evaluation is to include a UHLA board member. The UHLA board will receive a copy of the report. The UHLA will pay for first 20 residents that do the assessment with UHLA board inclusion.
Here are the steps to follow:
-
Submit a formal plan of the work you intend to do. You can get assistance from two sources: the CWSWCD or local approved shoreline restoration contractors. At the CWSWCD contact Jarrett Drileck at 218-828-6197. He will come to your place, make suggestions and for a reasonable fee, actually draw up your plan which will be all you need to submit to the Association so we can apply for a grant. An approved private contractor who does lakeshore restoration will do the same. A formal plan done by CWSWCD or an approved contractor is required for a project to be approved.
-
Anyone interested in doing a shoreline restoration project should submit their plan, with an approximate cost, to the UHLA’s Board of Directors before November 30th of each year. The Association will then formalize a proposal to Crow Wing Soil and Water, but there is no guarantee that we will receive any money.
-
Note: Do not start a project until approval is received! Also, no money is disbursed until the project is completed and inspected by the CWSWCD!
-
The Association will provide additional grant money of $600 for any UHLA approved project. This money is separate from any other grant monies we might receive.
For questions, contact our UHLA President, Brad Schultz, by phone at 952.393.1758 or by email at bvschultz55@gmail.com.
