Irrigation Efficiency Grants Available to Klamath County Irrigators 
 
 
Grants are available to Klamath County irrigators to cost-share irrigation efficiency improvements on individual agricultural operations.  Eligible projects include:

· Premium-efficiency irrigation and/or liquid manure application pump upgrade and installation
· Variable speed drive installation
· Irrigation and/or liquid manure application pump rebuilds
· Soil moisture monitoring equipment
· Solar irrigation
· Retrofitting diesel or electric livestock watering pumps with solar
 
These funds are available through a $200,000 federal grant to the Klamath Soil and Water Conservation District (KSWCD) from the Oregon Departments of Agriculture and Energy.
 
Projects will receive cost-share based on the energy savings associated with the project.  The KSWCD will work with irrigators and vendors to assess potential energy savings, offer cost-share, and install efficiency improvements, with support from the Oregon Departments of Energy and Agriculture.
 
This project is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) awarded through the State Energy Program (SEP).  These funds are designated for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.  The US Department of Energy administers the funds, approves the projects and reviews the state’s progress.
 
Project contractors must comply with federal wage and labor requirements, as well as certain other ARRA requirements.
