EC Conservation District Cost Share Program

The Edmonson County Conservation District will be accepting requests for cost share funding under the Kentucky Soil Erosion and Water Quality Cost Share Program. All applications received between October 30th 2014 and October 30th 2015 will be considered for approval.

The Kentucky Soil Erosion and Water Quality Cost Share Program was created to help agricultural operations protect the soil and water resources of Kentucky. This program is a result of House Bill 377 that was passed in the 1994 General Assembly. This bill established annual cost share funds to be administered by conservation districts with priority given to animal waste related problems, and agricultural district participants where pollution problems have been identified. Initial funding for the program will be provided by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture.

Funding for practices will be approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission at the Kentucky Division of Conservation, located in Frankfort, as funds become available.

For more information drop by the conservation district office located at 100 Washington Street, in Brownsville KY Monday through Friday from 8am-4pm Wednesday from 8am-1pm.
