Watershed - Water Quality Project
Coming to a close in 2005, the
Lower Lake Oconee Watershed 319 Best Management Practices (BMPs)
demonstration project began in 2003. It involves producers in seven
Council counties. The Natural Resources Conservation Service provides
technical assistance for the project through its Field and Area Office
staff, while the Council administers the project. The purpose of the
project is to implement BMPs in the watershed that will help reduce
pollution caused by animal waste and runoff resulting from agricultural
production. In addition to assisting producers with the implementation of
BMPs, the project focuses on educational outreach, which has included
field days and presentations made available to producers and a variety of
agricultural and environmental organizations.
