Reminder to irrigators: Check with LCNRD before you expand

HARTINGTON — If you are planning to expand irrigation to acres that have not been previously irrigated, it is important to check with the LCNRD staff before doing so. LCNRD requires well permits for all high-capacity wells and permits for expanding irrigation to acres that have not been previously irrigated. If the acres proposed for irrigation are steep and include highly erodible soil types, a conservation plan may be required on those acres.
