Developing Projects

     Cost share projects can take 12-24 months or longer from the time the application is received to the time when the project is completed and intalled on the landscape. 
​
     All projects listed on this page are in the development process or are "in progress".  Site visits are complete and "before" photos have been recorded.  Construction plans have been or will be completed in early 2023 and some contractors have bid on the projects. 

     Some projects have been chosen for a 2024 install but depending on final numbers of our 2024 funding, there may be additional money available for another project.  We typically fund three projects at about $10,000 in cost share funding for each. 

2022-01 - Lake Nokomis
Estimated Cost:  $25,000.00

     This project is slated for a 2023 install on the landscape. Construction Plans are currently being developed and will soon go out to bid. Project will consist of timberwall and wood platform removal, the addition of 100' of vegetated rock rip rap and a 6-foot planting buffer behind the rip rap.

2022-02 - Wisconsin River - Phase II
Estimated Cost:  $43,667.00

    This project will be designed in the early summer of 2023 for installation that same year. Construction Plans will be drawn to extend the previous work that was done in Phase I (220 feet) of the project.  Phase II will protect the remaining 200 feet.

2022-03 - Lake Nokomis
Estimated Cost:  $50,000.00 to $78,000.00

     This project will be on the landscape in 2023 with work being done on 260 feet of lake frontage.  A concrete seawall will be removed and replaced with vegetated rock rip rap.  ​

2021-03 - Sand Lake
Estimated Cost:  $13,769.00

NOTE:  This project will be moved into 2023 as it became too late in the season to get plantings in before the cold weather set in.  
     This project consists of the construction of 100 feet of Subsurface Drain and Underground Outlet, seeding and construction site stabilization in an area showing severe signs of erosion.  The primary focus is to protect and prevent sediment from leaving the area of concern and entering the lake.

2021-04 - Lake Nokomis
Estimated Cost: $26,714.08

NOTE:  The rock rip rap portion was originally hoped to be completed before the end of 2022, however, that portion of the project is now scheduled to be installed in the spring of 2023 with the plantings that had been moved to the spring in 2023.
     Rock rip rap is recommended with possible soil-filled bags on top of the rock. One hundred feet of frontage will be restored.  Parallel decking and the timber wall will be removed.  Native vegetation will be planted 6 feet deep at the top of the hill.
