AG POLLUTION ABATEMENT
Ohio's Agricultural Pollution Abatement Program (APAP) may provide farmers with cost share assistance to develop and implement best management practices (BMP) to protect Ohio's streams, creeks, and rivers. This program has been successful in helping to alleviate concerns associated with agricultural production and silvicultural operations which can create soil erosion and manure runoff. Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution occurs when precipitation picks up contaminants and carries them to a watercourse.
The APAP is administered by ODNR-Division of Soil and Water Resources and implemented locally by all 88 Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Farmers wanting to know more about the program need to contact their local SWCD for technical and potential financial assistance
