No new irrigated acres are allowed in the Central Platte Natural Resources District without offsetting other irrigated acres or an approved variance from the board of directors.

Transfer Irrigated Acres

Transfer applications are accepted from September 1 – March 1 for irrigated acres.

If you are planning to irrigate acres that are not certified with Central Platte NRD, you must offset the new acres by applying for and completing a transfer request prior to the new acres being irrigated. Producers who fail to obtain an approved transfer from the Central Platte NRD are subject to penalties.  Those planning to purchase new land are encouraged to check the certified irrigated acres of the property before making any buying decisions. The Central Platte NRD is currently transitioning to a different software company, please contact Luke or Angela.

To learn more about the transfer process call (308) 385-6282. Your CPNRD contacts: Luke Zakrzewski  luke@cpnrd.org  or Angela Warner warner@cpnrd.org

It includes data about the purpose of the well, status, well location, depth, water level at time of drilling, geology and well construction and other useful information. There is an export data option to provide a spreadsheet-ready data set based on your search criteria.   https://dwee-data.nebraska.gov/dynamic/Wells/Wells
