Conservation Cost Share ProgramsNHSWCD offers two voluntary, incentive-based conservation programs to New Hanover County landowners. These programs are the Community Conservation Assistance Program (CCAP) and the Agriculture Cost Share Program (Ag-cost share). Both programs allow NHSWCD to use State appropriated funds to assist landowners in the design and implementation of stormwater best management practices (BMPs). The programs differ primarily in who can apply to them. Community Conservation Assistance ProgramCCAP is designed to improve water quality through the installation of stormwater BMPs in residential and commercial areas that have been developed for three years or more. CCAP helps educate residents about local water quality and stormwater management issues through the design and implementation of appropriate stormwater BMPs on residential, public and commercial properties. The program is designed to reimburse applicants up to 75% of the cost for the installation of each BMP. Click here for more information about this program. Agriculture Cost Share ProgramIn New Hanover County, the Agriculture Cost Share Program can assist farmers (including horse farms) and timber owners with installing BMPs, such as erosion control or waste management. Participating agricultural landowners receive 75% of the predetermined average cost of installed BMPs with the remaining 25% paid by farmers directly or through in-kind contributions.
