Enclosed is a packetthat explains the Bureau of Parks & Lands Grants-In-Aid Program to municipalities and counties. Under the terms of the grant, the State can cost share up to but not exceed the rate of 90% State 10% local match. All trail plans will require approval by the Bureau and a determination will be made at that time on what formula will apply. The approved percentage could change annually depending on available funds and the size of any one project.
All applications for assistance with trail development and/or maintenance during the ATV season must be submitted to the Bureau of Parks & Lands no later than May 30. Trail development is considered creating NEW trail, rerouting trail, constructing new bridges, or parking facilities.Included in this packet is a sample copy of a use permit which may be used to obtain authorization to cross private property. This type of authorization would meet the requirements of the Bureau of Parks & Lands when reviewing your request for assistance. Also included is a sample Project Certification, Project Description, Application, Agreement, and Reimbursement Request.
