Uinta County accepts $1.743 million NRCS pass-through award for Central Canal piping
Summary
County staff and Central Canal representatives said USDA/NRCS has awarded an additional $1,743,208.55 in pass-through funds to Uinta County to fund the piping portion of the Central Canal project; commissioners approved accepting the award.
Uinta County commissioners voted May 6 to accept an increase in USDA/NRCS funding for the Central Canal piping project of $1,743,208.55. County staff described the county’s role as the government sponsor and clarified the funds are pass-through dollars going from USDA/NRCS to the Central Canal project.
Wayne Semper, identified in the meeting as president of Central Canal, told commissioners that once the project finished the environmental-assessment process the work was split into three separate projects and that this award applies only to the piping portion. Deanna Nyberg, community development staff, confirmed the county had received confirmation from NRCS that the funds were available and emphasized the county’s role was administrative: the money comes from USDA and is routed through the county to the Central Canal entity.
Commissioners approved the acceptance of the award by unanimous vote as recorded in the meeting transcript.
Ending: Staff noted the award applies only to the piping segment; commissioners asked staff to continue coordination with Central Canal on implementation and to report back on any schedule or budget changes as the project proceeds.
