Assistance Program
The Agriculture Conservation Assistance Program (ACAP) was created through the Clean Streams Fund established by the FY2022-2023 Pennsylvania State Budget.

Qualified ACAP applicants must have appropriate farm plans for manure and sediment (ex. Nutrient management plan, manure management plan, or equivalent AND an AG Conservation Plan, or AG E&S Plan). Farmers should contact the District to schedule a site visit prior to applying for ACAP funding.
EXAMPLES OF Eligible Projects include:

Rooftop Gutters
