The Grant County SWCD completed a massive erosion control project a half-mile from the Pomme de Terre River north of Morris in late 2024. The $360,000 project involves a series of 20 water and sediment control basins and two landowners. It draws from Watershed-Based Implementation Fund dollars made available through the Pomme de Terre River Association. WBIF is funded by the Clean Water Fund.
The project mended gullies — some of them 10 feet deep and 25 feet wide — and will contribute to water-quality improvements by reducing runoff of sediment and nutrients into the Pomme de Terre River and connected lakes.
