Grant Description
The State Cost-Share program, formally established in Minnesota Statutes §103C.501 as the Erosion Control and Water Management Program, provides funds to Soil and Water Conservation Districts to share the cost with the landowner of systems or practices for erosion control, sedimentation control, or water quality improvements that are designed to protect and improve soil and water resources. Cost Share funds are dispursed annually to Soil and Water Conservation Districts as part of the executed SWCD Program and Operations grant agreement or addendum.
Reporting Overview
Cost Share funds are subject to the Erosion Control and Water Management Policy, in addition to the terms of the grant agreement and policies in BWSR’s Grants Administration Manual. Please visit the Erosion Control and Water Management Program page to find current and historic cost share rule policies.
