This $250,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the National Wildlife Refuge System Enhancements program (CFDA 15.654) will support a multi-year project to realign County Ditch 64 in Otter Tail County, Minnesota. The project, managed by the County of Otter Tail-Auditor, involves constructing a rock weir to protect a state-owned wetland, removing failing drain tile, creating new surface water channels, and replacing road culverts as needed. This work will address flooding issues and restore wetlands on federally-owned lands managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Otter Tail County Soil and Water Conservation District will design the project, with the county managing the bidding and fiscal oversight. The grant's performance period runs from June 2024 through May 2028.
