Description

This project funded Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) staff to coordinate and review implementation of Agricultural Water Quality Management Area Plans. The ODA Agricultural Water Quality Program uses a combination of voluntary, educational efforts and regulatory work to encourage Oregon’s agricultural producers to maintain and enhance water quality.
Agriculture Water Quality Program staff conducted a variety of activities to help agricultural landowners meet the water quality protection goals of their local Area Plans and to comply with Area Rules. Staff helped landowners and local Soil and Water Conservation Districts to apply for grant funds to implement water quality improvement projects; investigated complaints of possible water quality concerns and provided landowners technical assistance to address issues identified during the investigations; monitored and evaluated the effectiveness of Area Plans and Rules as well as specific practices in protecting water quality; and conducted outreach and education programs to agricultural landowners about water quality protection practices. In addition, staff worked with Local Advisory Committees biennially to evaluate Area Plans and Rules and make changes as necessary.

Project Benefit

Support activities of ODA related to the restoration and protection of native salmonid populations, watersheds, fish and wildlife habitat and water quality.
