Through financial incentives, technical assistance technical and educational assistance, research, and regulatory programs the agricultural community is able to put Best Management Practices (BMPs) on the ground that make positive impacts on soil erosion and water quality.
Approved ACSP practices can be found at the NC Division of Soil and Water Conservation website http://www.enr.state.nc.us/DSWC/ or by contacting the Durham Soil & Water Conservation District at 560-0558. |
