Sheridan County Conservation District

Annual Report 2011-2012 Annual Plan 2012-2013 Annual Budget 2012-2013

Mission Statement
The mission of the Sheridan County Conservation District is to provide for the protection and development of all natural resources while maintaining and improving the quality of life and economic future for the citizens of Sheridan County.

Vision Statement
The lifestyle in Sheridan County is an attractive one. From the Big Horn Mountains and Bighorn National Forest through the rolling hills into the prairie, Sheridan County offers an abundant wealth of natural resources, scenic value, and economic opportunity. While Sheridan County has experienced more urban and rural residential growth, agriculture remains an important part of the lifestyle that defines Sheridan County. As land use patterns change and agriculture and other industries struggle with the economic downturn, SCCD's challenge will be to adapt to changing natural resource needs and to balance technical assistance and program delivery with financial conditions. SCCD needs to improve its financial stability to support the staff and resources needed for effective operation. In addition to state and federal grants and private donations, the SCCD will continue to build and maintain partnerships to provide long-term stability in district operations. SCCD must continue to demonstrate wise and prudent management and administration of available funding resources.

Message from the Manager

As I grow older, it seems time passes faster and faster. Maybe we are just doing more or having more fun! As always, the past year (2011-2012) has been a busy one for the Sheridan County Conservation District (SCCD). The Board of Supervisors experienced some changes as two members had to be replaced because of conflicting work schedules and moving. Changes in personnel and budgets for our federal partner, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), also had an impact, but not necessarily in a negative way. We finished our 2011 Prairie Dog Creek Watershed monitoring and started the 2012 monitoring for the Goose Creek Watershed. The update of Tongue River Watershed Plan will be finished shortly. As part of the Goose Creek Watershed effort, we worked with Sheridan County Public Works to increase awareness on septic system issues. The range monitoring effort among the Bighorn National Forest, Permittees, and SCCD was initiated in the summer of 2011 as a pilot project and continued in 2012. We have continued to push forward and maintain our existing cost-share programs while also looking for ways to provide new programs and better service. In the coming year (2012-2013), past cost-share participants will be receiving a survey that will help us evaluate not only our cost-share program processes but also determine whether or not the projects and programs are meeting the water quality improvement objectives for the grant funds. Working with landowners continues to be our biggest priority; this is where conservation of our natural resources happens. Thanks to the amazing staff (Amy and Maria), the Board of Supervisors, NRCS partners (Andrew and Ryan) and the support and collaboration of our County and municipal governments, state and federal agencies, educators, landowners, and volunteers, weve had another great year.

Signature Page
The Sheridan County Conservation District Board of Supervisors is committed to providing the residents of Sheridan County with a sound conservation program. The Annual Report describes the programs and activities completed by the District in the past year. The Annual Plan of Work defines the specific activities that are intended to satisfy the goals and objectives outlined in the Strategic Long Range Plan (2010-2014). The District will use this plan to monitor progress towards those goals. However, the Board of Supervisors recognizes that some activities cannot be predicted at this time and others may be omitted to accommodate unforeseen changes. The Annual Budget represents the best estimate of funding necessary and available for program delivery. The Annual Plan of Work (2012-2013) was accepted and approved by the Sheridan County Conservation District Board of Supervisors on November 13, 2012.

We, the Supervisors of the Sheridan County Conservation District, Sheridan, Wyoming, as duly authorized by Wyoming Conservation District Law, hereby adopt and accept this Annual Plan 2012-2013 as the guideline for work priorities in the Sheridan County Conservation District.

The History and Organization of Your Local Conservation District

Early conservation efforts in America began in the mid 1930's. This was a time when America was putting itself back together after the dust bowl, and President Roosevelt recognized the need to address the impacts of soil erosion. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), formerly the Soil Conservation Service, was formed in 1935 to provide technical and financial assistance to landowners for application of conservation practices. At this time, a model Conservation District Law was developed to enable local coordination for conservation efforts. In 1939, federal legislation was passed enabling Conservation Districts to participate and intervene with government agencies under the premise that no Federal government agency should act in the area of private lands conservation without local citizen oversight. In 1941, the State of Wyoming passed legislation for Conservation Districts. Since that time, Wyoming Conservation Districts have provided local representation and oversight for Federal Programs. Wyoming currently has 34 Districts in 23 counties that make up the Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts (WACD), which is headquartered in Cheyenne. The Dutch Creek-Clear Creek Soil Conservation District was formed in Sheridan County in 1942. The Cloud Peak and Tongue River Conservation Districts were formed in 1948. In 1972, the three districts combined to form the Clear Water Conservation District, which later changed its name to the Sheridan County Conservation District. Conservation Districts are under the direction of a locally elected Board of Supervisors. These supervisors are unpaid volunteers dedicated to providing local conservation guidance. The SCCD also works in close partnership with the NRCS. Through this partnership, the SCCD and local NRCS have been able to provide technical, financial and educational resources to local landusers in Sheridan County. The SCCD also partners with other groups and organizations, including the Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts (WACD), Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA), the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ), the Wyoming Game and Fish (WY G&F), Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resource Trust (WWNRT), the City of Sheridan, the Towns of Dayton, Ranchester, and Clearmont, Sheridan County and others. These partnerships have resulted in a sound and effective conservation program for Sheridan County and its residents.

2011-2012 Annual Report

District Operations
The foundation of the local conservation program is the local office. District personnel oversee and carryout programs and activities, provide technical assistance and other services. The District also administers the funding for its programs, most of which is provided through state and federal grants. A portion of the District's budget each year comes from local Sheridan County funding sources, including support from the County Commissioners, the City of Sheridan, the Towns of Dayton, Ranchester, Clearmont and memberships. These funds, as wells as grants from other groups and organizations, are used as match for federal and state grants, which are put toward natural resource improvement projects and administration. Natural resource education is another key component of the overall conservation program. Through successful outreach, the District provides information and education to all ages.

10

Funding
Funding for the Conservation District comes from a variety of sources. These sources include Federal Grants from Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, State Grants from the Wyoming Department of Agriculture, Wyoming Game and Fish, Wyoming Natural Resource Trust Fund, USDA Contribution Agreements for Conservation Technical Assistance, and local funding from the City of Sheridan, the Towns of Ranchester, Dayton and Clearmont, and from Sheridan County through the Optional One Cent Sales Tax. The District also conducts an annual membership drive. The majority of the budget is spent on watershed improvement projects.

The SCCD is one of 10 districts in Wyoming that receive less than $50,000 of local funding annually.

Information and Education

Outreach and education are important components to the overall success of district programs. Every year, staff educate local school children about agriculture during National Agriculture Week in March. Students learn where many of our everyday food and nonfood items come from, and make fresh butter in the classroom. In the fall, the District educates older students about water quality through field day activities. Students participate in a variety of water quality activities, including collecting and analyzing water quality parameters. The District also provides youth demonstrations for the Sheridan County Cattle Women's Ag Expo, the Sagebrush Outdoor lab and others. In April 2011, SCCD provided adult education through a presentation on water quality in Sheridan County waterways as part of a Natural Resource Lecture Series at Sheridan College.

Natural Resource Conservation Programs

The SCCD and NRCS work together to provide programs that benefit the overall conservation of natural resources in Sheridan County. The top priority program in Sheridan County is water resources. Other natural resource needs that are met through the SCCD and NRCS office include rangelands, soils, and conservation trees. By addressing these natural resource concerns, the District and NRCS can provide quality technical and financial assistance to landusers in Sheridan County.

12

Water Resources
SCCD continues to conduct water monitoring on the Tongue River, Goose Creek, and Prairie Dog Creek watersheds on a three-year rotation. This interim monitoring is part of the local watershed planning efforts. In addition, the SCCD/NRCS water resources improvement program provides technical and cost-share assistance on watershed improvement projects deemed appropriate through watershed monitoring and planning efforts. The Tongue River, Prairie Dog Creek and Goose Creek watersheds all have either a TMDL or EPA Based Plan in place, and continue to be eligible for federal funds through Section 319 of the Clean Water Act. This funding allows the District to continue to work with landowners and municipalities within Sheridan County to improve water quality through Best Management Practices. As always, the District seeks active local participation in the watershed planning process. Local involvement ensures that priorities and concerns for Sheridan County landusers are addressed. The District hopes to continue to have active local involvement as we evolve in the watershed planning processes. As part of this effort, the District worked with Sheridan County Public Works to provide septic system information to residents in the Goose Creek Watershed through a series of workshops cosponsored by the two groups. The workshops included information on the function of a septic system, proper operation and maintenance, and potential impacts to water quality by failing systems. Through this effort, the County hopes to obtain a septic inventory that will help them identify unpermitted septic systems within the watershed. Gathering information on septic systems within the watershed has been a long-term priority of Sheridan County and was a recommendation in the Goose Creek Watershed TMDL. This year the interim monitoring was conducted on the Prairie Dog Creek and Goose Creek Watersheds. SCCD finished monitoring on Prairie Dog Creek in October 2011. In May of 2012, the District began sampling Goose Creek and its tributaries for a variety of water quality indicators. The District finished the 2010 Final Report for the Interim Monitoring on Tongue River and is working on finishing up the 2011 Final Report for the Interim Monitoring on Prairie Dog Creek. Some of the highlights for BMP's that the District was involved with this year include: septic system replacements on Hannah Creek and Dutch Creek; a corral relocation on Goose Creek; stream restoration on Jackson Creek near Big Horn, Little Goose Creek in Sheridan, Tongue River near Dayton and Tongue River in the park in Dayton; and numerous diversion projects.

Soils
The SCCD/NRCS provides information on and encourages practices for proper top-soil management. Landowners are also encouraged to contact the SCCD/NRCS for technical and cost-share assistance on projects that reduce soil loss through irrigationinduced erosion, failing streambanks, or other activities that accelerate erosion. In 2012, SCCD is still dealing with the aftermath of 2011 high water events. Several landowners, as well as Sheridan County, have requested assistance from SCCD/NRCS. The District is currently working with landowners to address erosion concerns, and has received grant funds that will allow the District to assist Sheridan County in conducting a survey and channel assessment on Tongue River to evaluate erosion concerns and develop an improvement plan.

Rangeland Health Assessment Program

In 2011, SCCD received funding to conduct a pilot project for the Rangeland Health Assessment Program (RHAP), through the Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA) administered by the Wyoming Stock Growers Association (WSGA). The goal was to improve collaboration among the Permittees, the BNF, and the SCCD with the specific purpose of providing credible and comprehensive monitoring data to be considered in management decisions. Annual use monitoring was completed before and after grazing by livestock and consisted of photopoints, ocular transects, and stubble height measurements. The 2011 monitoring was completed jointly by BNF and SCCD personnel with assistance from the Permittee. To fully validate the monitoring plan developed in 2011, the SCCD, BNF, and Permittee requested and were awarded additional funding for 2012. It was determined that a minimum of two to three years of additional data were needed for the monitoring program to be successful. In June 2012, SCCD contracted with Grouse Mountain Environmental Consultants (GMEC) to continue the monitoring. Monitoring in 2011 and 2012 showed, in general, that livestock grazing on these allotments was, and can be, managed to meet BNF goals and objectives. This is credited to the proactive management of the Permittee and the collaboration with the BNF. Additional funding will be sought to continue the monitoring in 2013.
15

Rangelands
The District/NRCS provide technical and cost -share assistance on projects that improve ecological condition, rangeland health and productivity, and native plant communities through grazing management and/or animal distribution through stockwater development, fencing, or other practices.

Conservation Trees
The SCCD offers low-cost seedling trees and shrubs for living snow fences, windbreaks, wildlife habitat, visual screens and noise barriers, erosion control, reforestation, and other conservation purposes. The seedling tree program continues to purchase stock from CSU Nursery out of Fort Collins, Colorado. This year the nursery offered bareroot trees in lots of 25 instead of 50. For the most part, regular and small potted trees were still available in lots of 30 per species, however, there were a few species that were only offered in lots of 50. The District continues to offer wildlife packages that include 5 different species per package. Due to the reduction in the number of trees per lot available in bareroot, the overall number of trees sold was down from last year.

Land Use/Management
Land should be used according to its capabilities. Decisions about where and how to develop industrial, commercial, and residential property need to be balanced with natural resource concerns and economic stability. Land use planning can ensure future growth occurs in a responsible, directed manner. Waste management, particularly in rural areas, prevents degradation of land and water resources.

17

Land Use Planning

The Sheridan County Subdivision Resolution requires that the SCCD review and provide recommendations for proposed subdivisions. This process entails a review of the plat and soils information. The soils information is based on the USDA Soil Survey for Sheridan County Area, Wyoming 1986 and is helpful in determining suitability of land uses and development for certain soils, including suitability for certain types of building and suitability for septic systems. The role of the SCCD is to encourage developers and County authorities to use good conservation practices in subdivision planning by offering recommendations on resource issues. SCCD/NRCS provides all soils information free of charge. SCCD provides a subdivision review and comments to the developers for a nominal fee. All subdivision recommendations are maintained in house and are available upon request. SCCD provided comments for four subdivisions in 2011-2012; most of these were small acreage lot splits in areas that have already been developed. SCCD continues to be involved in county planning and takes an active interest in the continuation and follow though of the Countys effort in the Sheridan County Conservation Design Project as well as the County Comprehensive Plan. SCCD participated as a member of the Riparian Management Project Steering Committee. In addition, SCCD went onsite with the County and developers to look at the first proposed Conservation Design Subdivision in Sheridan County. Following the visit, SCCD provided an informal soil review and recommendations back to the County that specifically addressed water resource concerns and animal stocking rates.
18

Waste Management
The Waste Oil Recycling program provides a location for rural residents to dispose of used motor oil free of charge. Tanks are located in Clearmont and Dayton, Wyoming. Oil is collected from the tanks as needed by TriState Oil Reclaimers. In 2011-2012, 1600 gallons of used oil were recycled from the oil tanks. SCCD is still searching for a viable location for a third oil tank.
