*At the March 31 meeting of the Texas Association of Watershed Sponsors 
Texas NRCS requested all dam sponsors to submit a list of high hazard 
watershed dams that need rehabilitation through the federal program by 
_April 7_.*These would be dams that sponsors are considering for 
rehabilitation within the next 5 years.No commitment is needed at this 
time.This is in relation to the $250 million appropriated to NRCS for 
watershed rehabilitation in the Farm Bill in the current fiscal year, 
and a 5-year plan of rehabilitation is needed by NRCS.This is not an 
application for rehabilitation (all sponsors do not need to sign this 
request).This information should be submitted to Brian Wenberg - Texas 
NRCS Acting Watershed Program Manager in the Texas NRCS State Office 
(254.742.9945).

*Actual rehabilitation /applications/ are due by _April 25_.These would 
be dams that need rehabilitation where sponsors are ready to move 
forward with commitments for the local 35% share of funding required by 
the federal Watershed Rehab Program.* All sponsors of a watershed dam 
must sign these applications.The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation 
Board's (TSSWCB) state-funded grant program will be accepting 
applications during the next fiscal year that may provide assistance 
with the 35% local share of rehabilitation for some projects.

If you need assistance or guidance on these issues, please contact Lee 
Munz (254.773.2250 x241) or Steve Bednarz (254.773.2250 x246) at the TSSWCB.
