1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND

The USDA-NRCS is conducting a project near Austin, MN. This project will include retrofitting 2 existing earthen dikes by installing steel sheet piling to act as a rodent barrier. The dike will be reconstructed by stripping the topsoil, adding fill and reshaping the side slopes. 3 rock crossings will also be constructed to allow vehicular access to the site. Lastly, 6 separate areas will be searched for existing tile. Tile, if found, will be removed. Disturbed areas will be prepped for seeding and seeded. Site is located in Lansing Township, Sections 20 & 29 in Mower County, Minnesota.
