Property owners who are interested in completing a project must do the following:

1. 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 Beth Hippert at 218-828-6197, ext. 4251. She 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.
2. Anyone interested in doing a shoreline restoration project should submit their plan, with an approximate cost, to the Association’s Board of Directors before November 30 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.
3. 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!
4. 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.
