LB 483 Rules Hearing

A Public Hearing has been scheduled to review and take public comment on proposed rules in response to the lower Platte River being declared "not fully appropriated" in April.  The rules seek to protect the lower Platte by limiting increased uses of ground water each year through 2012.  See a news release, proposed rules and regulations and maps detailing the affected area of the District by clicking HERE.

Antelope Valley

Recently the NRD staff, pictured at right, walked the Antelope Valley Project as a lunchtime wellness activity and to catch up on the latest progress.  Channel work and the east leg of the "Big X" roadway will be completed by the end of this year.

Master Plan

Nebraska statutes say the NRD must have an overall plan for locally managing local natural resources. We call it our Master Plan and it contains the NRD Board's VISION for the future of our natural resources and the NRD. The Board revised its Master Plan earlier this year. We hope you'll use it to better understand actions taken by the NRD, AND we hope you'll also help the District realize the Board's VISION in any way you can.
