To address the problems <br /> that are faced with the Lake,they must be addressed with input of stakeholders within each sub- <br /> ' watershed. With the input of the Big and Long Creek Committee this plan becomes a more useable tool. <br /> The existing problems will only get worse with development and construction that is expected to occur in <br /> the future. Planning and preparing for these issues now will reduce potential problems of the future and <br /> improve current conditions. Everyone is encouraged to use this plan and learn more about his or her <br /> watershed. <br /> Our next step is to act on the recommendations listed in this plan. To do this effectively, a funding source <br /> is needed to provide cost-share dollars so that the proper incentives are available to landowners. The <br /> NRCS and SWCD watershed staff are positioned to assist the committee in locating funding sources. The <br /> City of Decatur has in the past provided cost share dollars towards the implementation of conservation <br /> practices. The committee can also apply for various state grants to demonstrate the recommended <br /> BMP's in this watershed. Federal cost-share dollars would be another alternative to provide assistance to <br /> landowners within this watershed. This watershed plan will provide the committee with the resources <br /> needed to receive cost share from these types of programs. <br /> 17 <br />
