The Agriculture Conservation Assistance Program (ACAP) is a cost-share program that provides financial and technical assistance for the implementation of best management practices (BMPs) on agricultural operations within the Commonwealth to reduce nutrient loading and soil erosion impacts to local streams and rivers.
Applications are brought to a local advisory group (LAG) for review and ranking. Operations located in priority watersheds that have a resource concern will be prioritized.
ACAP was created through the Clean Streams Fund established by the FY2022-2023 Pennsylvania State Budget and will continue annually. ACAP is administered by the State Conservation Commission (SCC) and delegated to participating conservation districts for local implementation of the program.
Examples of Eligible Best Management Practices (BMPs):
Animal Heavy Use Areas
Manure Storage Facilities
Cover Crops
Livestock Stream Crossings
Riparian Buffers
And more!
To schedule a site visit or request application assistance, please contact Trudy Alexander at talexanderccd@gmail.com or call 814-297-8032.
The 2025 application round deadline will be announced soon - stay tuned!
Every farm in Pennsylvania that land applies manure, whether they generate the manure or import it from another operation, is required to have a written Manure Management Plan.
