Valley County commissioners approve letter of support for Hot Springs WMA riparian fencing grant
Summary
The board voted to approve a letter supporting a state agricultural BMP grant application for riparian fencing and livestock exclusion at the Hot Springs Wildlife Management Area; the motion passed unanimously.
Valley County commissioners voted April 21 to approve a letter of support for a state agricultural best‑management practices (BMP) grant application to install riparian fencing and livestock exclusion measures at the Hot Springs Wildlife Management Area.
A county staff member said the project would leverage a high match from the Bureau of Reclamation and praised past work at the site. The presenter described the application as competitive and noted a smaller statewide funding pot this year for similar water-quality grants.
Commissioner (unnamed) moved to approve the letter of support; the motion was seconded and commissioners responded, "Aye," approving the letter. The board did not specify conditions attached to the support.
Next steps: County staff will file the letter with the grant application and continue coordination with project partners; the county did not record additional funding commitments at the meeting.
