ATCP 50.885(1)(1)Definition. In this section, “stream crossing” means a road or pathway which confines or directs the movement of livestock, farm equipment, or vehicular traffic over or through (ford crossing) a stream, and which is designed and installed to improve water quality, reduce erosion, protect an installed practice, or control livestock access to a stream.

ATCP 50.885(2)(b)(b) The costs of installing conservation practices necessary to limit water quality impairment from a stream crossing.
ATCP 50.885(3)(3)Ineligible costs. A cost-share grant under s. ATCP 50.40 may not reimburse for the costs of a stream crossing if the traffic can be re-directed along another route that would not result in the same water quality impairment.
ATCP 50.885(4)(4)Design, construction, and maintenance. A cost-share grant under s. ATCP 50.40 may not reimburse the cost of establishing a stream crossing unless all of the following conditions are met:
