Conservation Work, Built to Federal Spec
Grassed waterways, farm ponds, retention basins, filter strips, and erosion control — designed and built to the exact NRCS standards that pass inspection and unlock federal cost-share payment. Todd spent five years as a USDA NRCS civil engineer; this is the work he was trained to do.
Built Right the First Time
NRCS-funded practices only get paid when they're built to the federal standard and pass checkout. Build it wrong and you eat the cost. GSS builds to spec from day one because Todd wrote and reviewed that kind of spec inside the agency.
Federal Standards
Practices designed and constructed to NRCS engineering standards, so they meet the requirements for EQIP, AMA, and CSP payment approval.
Agency Experience
Five years as a USDA NRCS civil engineer and ongoing relationships throughout NH NRCS — the work is built the way inspectors expect to see it.
TSP Certification In Progress
GSS is pursuing NRCS Technical Service Provider (TSP) certification — which will let GSS design and check out funded practices directly for landowners.
Practices, Ponds & Water Features
- Grassed waterways, diversions, and filter strips
- Farm ponds and livestock watering systems
- Retention basins and stormwater management
- Heavy-use area protection and farmstead runoff systems
- Constructed wetlands and water features
- Erosion and sediment control on farm and conservation land
How NRCS Cost-Share Works
If you have an EQIP, AMA, or CSP contract through NRCS, the program reimburses you at federal payment-schedule rates after the practice is installed and passes inspection. GSS can help you navigate the process and build the practices to the standard required for approval — so the funding actually comes through. Many homestead and farm infrastructure projects, including high tunnels and irrigation, are also cost-share eligible.
