ACAP funding is distributed to conservation districts based on criteria developed by the SCC to prioritize reducing nutrient and sediment pollution. These criteria include:
- Agriculturally impaired* stream miles
- The number of cropland acres, farms, and livestock or poultry operations
- Other considerations as identified by the SCC
*designated impaired due to the identified source being agriculture as defined by the most recent Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report by DEP.
“ACAP funding has helped every farmer we've worked with. Some projects simply wouldn't move forward without it."
~ Allie Shreffler, Westmoreland Conservation District
