Government Funded Programs
NCACS - Offers financial and technical assistance for the implementation of BMP’s on agricultural land to reduce agricultural non-point source pollution into waters of the state.

NCCAP - (CCAP) is a voluntary, incentive-based program designed to improve water quality through the installation of various best management practices (BMPs) on urban, suburban and rural lands, not directly involved in agricultural production. Eligible landowners essentially are all private and public owned lands like homeowners, schools, churches and community groups. CCAP can educate landowners on water quality and storm management to ultimately improve the water quality of our state's waterways.

EQIP - Provides technical, educational, and financial assistance to eligible farmers to address soil, water, and related natural resource concerns.

CRP - Encourages farmers to convert highly erodible cropland vegetative cover (grass, trees, etc.) by paying an annual rental payment for the term of the contract. CREP - Pays for site prep, establishment, and an annual rental payment to farmers for converting marginal pastureland or highly erodible cropland to trees.
