Pony Creek Watershed to Provide Two Big Lakes
Plans for the Pony Creek watershed development near Plattsville township aim to create two major lakes and 13 ponds to control erosion and flood damage. An 8 acre lake behind a 61 foot dam and a 23 acre pond behind a 48 foot dam are projected, with silting posing a challenge and possible dam raising. Total cost is 1,225,881 dollars, largely covered by the federal government, with local share funded via ASC cost-sharing. The project spans 19,309 acres on 167 farms, starts north of the old Pioneer Trail and extends to Pony creek’s confluence with Keg creek en route to the Missouri river. Before work, approvals, easements, and creation of a Soil Conservancy District are required. Mills county Conservation board seeks fish stocking and a public recreation area if land allows.
