Erosion control plan eyed to protect Kinkaid Lake watershed
Jackson County Soil Conservation Service seeks funding for a voluntary erosion control program to curb sediment entering Kinkaid Lake from about a third of its 43000 acre watershed. The plan funds a sedimentation survey to gauge damage and rate of sedimentation, with emphasis on areas south and west of Ava. District conservationist John Jesse noted past measures have largely diminished due to farmers’ economic pressures, and a state funding decision is expected in May.
