			Many of the technical and financial assistance programs that the South St. Louis SWCD provides require eligible best management practices to be designed by an engineer. We primarily receive engineering support from two sources: the CCLNS Joint Powers Board #3 and the NRCS. Engineering services are free to the public. CCLNS Joint Powers Board #3 CCLNS Joint Powers Board #3 is a joint powers organization of Carlton, Cook, Lake, North St. Louis, and South St. Louis Soil and Water Conservation Districts tasked with providing conservation engineering assistance to member SWCDs and northeastern Minnesota land users. The South St. Louis SWCD serves as the Host District for this program. Funds to support this program come from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources Nonpoint Engineering Assistance Program. Project assistance is requested through the local SWCD. *CCLNS JPB#3 Staff:* Keith A. Anderson, P.E.

United States Department of Agriculture *Natural Resources Conservation Service* The Natural Resources Conservation Service provides engineering assistance to Minnesota SWCDs for a variety of conservation practices. The South St. Louis SWCD utilizes NRCS in particular for assistance to the agriculture community for animal waste management practice installation. Assistance is requested through the local SWCD or the NRCS District Conservationist. NRCS District Conservationist Paul Sandstrom Paul.Sandstrom@mn.usda.gov Minnesota NRCS Information
