The District provides conservation planning services to local landowners and agricultural producers in order to assist them in meeting the requirements of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. The District also provides the service of writing or assiting with the development of nutrient management plans for Henrico agricultural producers in order to minimize adverse environmental effects and reduce unnecessary nutrient applications.
The VA Agricultural Best Management Practice Cost-Share program and Tax Credit Program provides cost-share assistance for agricultural producers to install or implement BMPs - agricultural practices that protect and improve water quality of the state's streams, rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay.
