MN DNR Lake Superior Coastal Program

The South St. Louis SWCD provides technical and financial assistance to land occupiers as incentives to install best management practices that protect water quality. We have several different sources of financial assistance available, and the technical capabilities to support these programs.

Regular State Cost-Share Program
Cost-share funding is provided for eligible practices. The Board of Supervisors approves all cost-share applications.

Partial list of practices:
• Critical Area Stabilization (Erosion Control)
• Animal Waste Management
• Riparian Buffer Strips
• Sediment Retention, Erosion or Water Control Structures
• Streambank, Shoreland and Roadside Protection

Federal Cost-Share Programs
The United States Department of Agriculture has many cost-share programs available for best management practice installation on agricultural and non-agricultural land.

Agricultural Best Management Practices Low-Interest Loan Program
The Ag BMP Loan Program provides low-interest loans to help land occupiers install animal waste management systems, and to pay for waste handling equipment.
