Funding is available to landowners to offset the costs of installing conservation practices that protect and improve water quality by controlling soil erosion, reducing sedimentation, and keeping systems healthy.

Those practices include:

• Critical Area Stabilization

• Shelterbelts
• Grassed Waterway
• Wastewater and Feedlot Runoff Control
• Filter Strips
• Sediment Basins
• Streambank, Shoreland, and Roadside Protection
