This project consisted of constructing 2,136 feet of self forming conservation ditch. It will treat 357 acres of water.

Benefits of a self forming conservation ditch:
  • reduce flood risks
  • help prevent erosion
  • improve water quality by reducing nutrient runoff
  • provide habitat for aquatic species

This project was constructed by Sand Ridge Excavating.
