Twin Platte Natural Resources District

Twin Platte Natural Resources District is a local government entity located in western Nebraska, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2012. As a specialized district focused on natural resource management, the organization works closely with federal agencies to develop and implement conservation, water resource, and land management projects. The district primarily serves Lincoln County and surrounding areas, engaging in comprehensive environmental and resource protection initiatives that support sustainable land and water use strategies.

The district has secured multiple federal grants from agencies like the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Bureau of Reclamation, focusing on critical water resource and conservation projects. Recent grant awards demonstrate the organization's expertise in watershed planning, water use validation, and conservation program support. Notably, a $901,183 NRCS Cooperative Agreement awarded in August 2024 will help create a watershed work plan for East Clear Creek Irrigation Districts, addressing infrastructure and flood prevention needs. Another significant project involved installing 30 flow meters on irrigation wells to collect real-time water use data, supporting Nebraska's integrated groundwater and surface water planning efforts. The district has consistently received project grants and cooperative agreements ranging from water use validation to grazing land management, with project completion dates extending through 2026. These federal grants, typically ranging from $100,000 to $900,000, reflect the organization's critical role in managing and protecting natural resources through detailed, data-driven environmental and conservation initiatives.
