6.C.1.a.1. Variance Request in the Hydrologically Connected Area (Limited Development Area)
Rationale:
Approval and denial letters have been sent to the applicants. One well permit application has been reviewed and approved. Due to a tie score of 385 each between James Mick and Ronald Sladky, neither one of these was awarded new acres.

6.C.1.a.5.A. Butler - Saunders SQS (#1)
Rationale:
All 30 of the irrigation well sites have been visited by staff. Staff began collecting a fall water level measurement and reading the flow meter for the wells of this SQS area last week. A letter was sent to these producers earlier this month reminding them that their flow meter readings are due in our office by November 2nd this year. Many of the irrigation wells in this SQS didn't even run this last summer. The LPNNRD needs to purchase equipment from McCrometer for our Flow Meter Maintenance Program (FMMP). Staff plan to start inspections of flow meters in this SQS over the winter and next spring. A price quote from McCrometer is attached, but the NRD will request extra grease and 2 sealing tools for total of $4,686.13. Need motion to approve. Discussion took place whether the NRD should be in the meter repair business even though the board had previously discussed this and decided to proceed with flow meter inspections and servicing. It was suggested to hire a contractor to preform this task and have the contractor from UBBNRD give a presentation at the next committee meeting. To approve payment of $4,686.13 to McCrometer for flow meter parts inventory, grease and sealing tools was moved by Johannes, but motion died for lack of a second.

SQS operator certification classes will be held over the winter and early spring of next year. This SQS area is scheduled to start in 2016. Allocation needs to be set by December 15th or the default rolling allocation amount of 27 acre inches in a three year period shall take affect. Discussion took place by the members of the Water Committee and they will likely go with the default rolling allocation amount. Staff is looking into submitting a grant request to the Water Sustainability Fund for cost share on flow meters for irrigation wells in the Platte-Colfax SQS area. |

|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.C.1.a.8.A. Irrigation Well Sample Kits
Rationale:
A total of 325 kits have been mailed out this year. Seven are still with the producer - Ben Klug (six) and Mark Horejsi (one). Five kits were requested the morning of the Water Committee (Oct. 28, 2016) and six kits were received in the mail. The results for 314 samples have been received from the lab and these have been mailed to the producers.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.C.1.a.9. Bellwood Phase 2 Area
Rationale:
2015 is the thirteenth year for this Phase 2 Area. Earlier this year this area was reduced from 32 sections to 21 sections - to be in compliance with Section G Ground Water Quality Management Area - Phase Two Rule 1 Phase Two Criteria.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.C.1.a.10. Richland - Schuyler Phase 2 Area
Rationale:
2015 is the twelfth year of this Phase 2 Area. The 55 sections of this area went into a Phase 3 Area to be in compliance with Section H Ground Water Quality Management Area - Phase Three Rule 1 Phase Three Criteria, effective September 1, 2015.
Also on September 1, 2015, the ten sections immediately north of this area became a Phase 2 Area. These sections are: Township 18 North, Range 2 East, sections 31 to 36; Township 18 North, Range 3 East, sections 31 to 34. Though reports for the 2015 crop year aren’t required these producers will need to have soil samples prior to their 2016 corn crop.

|
6.C.1.a.11. LPNNRD Operator Certification
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.C.1.a.11.A. LPNNRD Operator Certification Classes
Rationale:
No on-line test requests since the last committee meeting. A meeting will be set up with UNL County Extension Educators after the completion of Fall GWELs. The number of producers to certify in 2016 will be smaller; approximately 270. This will be the third year in our four year cycle were our number of people needing certification is usually the lowest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
6.C.1.a.12. LPNNRD Acre Certification
Rationale:
Landowner Brach Johnson attend the Water Committee on October 28, 2015 with the same issue we have discussed twice before concerning his request for certified irrigated acres in the Platte - Colfax SQS area (please see attached document). The acres in question were granted irrigation permission in 2010 (this area was open to additional irrigated acres). The land was and remains in CRP. The acres were originally certified along with the adjoining 120 acres (to complete the circle), however no crop was ever planted and the tract was never irrigated. Since the land was not irrigated within two years of approval the acres were de-certified. Since this tract is in the SQS we would leave ourselves open to criticism (and potential legal action) if we would allow this tract to be irrigated when it has no irrigated history. Lausterer agrees that we should not allow this tract to be irrigated and related similar circumstances in the Lower Elkhorn NRD where the district court upheld that LENRD's identical definition was legal and appropriate.

6.C.2.b.1. Eastern Nebraska Water Resources Assessment (ENWRA)
Rationale:
LPNNRD is asking area NRD's if they are interested in pursuing a joint grant request to the Water Sustainability Fund for future AEM flights in their districts. LPN is interested in flying our special quantity subareas with ~300 to 1,000 meter grid spacing.
Since Committee meeting five NRDs have expressed interest in joining together to preform AEM flights and applying for WSF funding. The plan has FYRA Engineering prepare the applications that will be similar for each district. Attached is a contract to have FYRA prepare our application at a lump sum cost of $4,000. The recommended motion is: To approve and authorize the board chair to sigh the FYRA contract for preparation and submittal of the WSF grant application for AEM flights within our district as attached to the Water Committee Minutes at a cost of $4,000.

6.C.2.b.2. Tile Drain Study
Rationale:
A meeting was held with USGS on Friday October 30, 2015 to discuss the details of a potential study with USGS and the LENRD on tile drains in both Districts and their effect on stream flow and ground water levels. The proposal would be submitted to the Water Sustainability Fund in mid-December and would be a 4 year project. USGS would generate a map of tile drains in our District, soil type, land slope, subsurface drainage to streams, and percent of rainfall that is intercepted by these tile drains. To answer these detailed measurements, they propose to have 3 or 4 monitoring sites that would be instrumented for at least 2 years to measure flow rates and to start by July 2016. To answer the question on percent of rainfall intercepted by tile drains, USGS proposes using aerial infrared imagery after a 1 inch rain to determine the amount of water that is intercepted by tile drains. Estimated cost is $125,000, but would be contingent on obtaining funding through the Water Sustainability Fund.

6.C.2.b.3. LPNNRD Master Database
Rationale:
Jovan Lausterer has informed us that we do not need to go through the formal bidding process since we have received informal bids from three companies: GIS Workshop, Beehive, and Phoenix Group. We could accept the Phoenix Group bid if we state in the motion to waive our normal bidding procedures. Phoenix Group bid and proposed contract is attached.
Recommended Motion(s):
To waive our normal bidding procedures and approve the contract and informal bid received from the Phoenix Group in the amount of $50,000 that develops a master database as attached to the Water Committee Minutes Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.

|
6.D.1.i. Lands For Conservation (LFC) Update/Requests
Rationale:
The Lands For Conservation (LCF) has proved to be a successful program in the Wahoo Creek Watershed where we paid landowners in certain areas to plant wheat or oats on crop acres where terrace/tile outlet projects were to be constructed this past summer. This allowed a larger window for NRCS & contractors to get jobs completed. However, on a few projects some problems emerged that didn't allow the projects to be completed within the established time-frame or other problems arose. Mark Walkenhorst and Jami Thoene, Saunders County NRCS, were present to review various situations which should all be completed within a reasonable time frame. They also discussed a project completed by K.Y. Jurgens/Ann Crockett, where the landowners completed their project within all preamaters, but somehow the paperwork for LFC did not get signed. The landowner set-a-side 50 acres for their summer construction with the belief that they had the approval for the LFC as well. The Committee felt that this was a situation that was no direct fault of the landowner and the fact we have available funding for this LFC payment due to 56 acres of previous contract cancellations, we should approve this contract.
Recommended Motion(s):
*To approve the Jurgens/Crockett Lands For Conservation (LFC) application for $11,000 (50 acres) located in the Wahoo Creek Phase I priority area Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.

6.D.4.e. Off Site Water Table near Sand Creek Wetland
Rationale:
For three years we have received comments on impacts to neighbors next to the Sand Creek Wetland. Recently board members, staff and a tiling contractor visited the site with the feeling we should wait until after harvest and then hire a professional to make an independent assessment. This is likely not a large expenditure that would require bidding. The committee discussed how we wish to proceed.
Recommended Motion(s):
To have staff prepare proposals from professional firms for making an independent assessment of off-site landowner impacts as a result of the raised water table from the Sand Creek Wetland for the next Projects Committee Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.
