Summary

SWCD Technical Coordinator Becky Buchholz told the board the county's Wetland Conservation Act implementation isn't current for Decisions and Determinations and that some WCA resolutions are missing; she will research with cities and update the board.

Becky Buchholz, SWCD Technical Coordinator, told the board that the county's Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) implementation is not current for how Decisions and Determinations are processed and that there are missing WCA resolutions. She said the SWCD office will undergo a Performance Review and Assistance Program (PRAP) that will examine SWCD and county programs, including WCA.

Buchholz said she is researching the missing resolutions with each city in Cottonwood County and will update the board as necessary. The minutes do not record specific missing resolution names or dates; the issue appears to be a procedural compliance matter that the SWCD and county staff will address through the PRAP process.
