wetland area.

Because it is drain tile all the way, the DNR Grant could pay
up to 50% of the total project cost of $57,616. The assessed
part would be $28,808 divided amongst 14 parcels, $2,052 per
parcel, providing the Grant is approved. The amount of the
Grant would also depend on how the DNR reviews the plans and
specifications for the project.
In regard to Tom Constant's question about maintaining.
