Cost Share Programs

Community Conservation Assistance Program

CCAP is a voluntary, incentive-based program designed to improve water quality through the installation of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) in residential and commercial areas that have been developed for three years or more. CCAP allows NHSWCD to use State appropriated funds to educate landowners on water quality and stormwater management issues, design appropriate stormwater BMPs on residential, public and commercial properties, and will reimburse up to 75% of the cost of installing each BMPs.
