Purpose: Qualifying soils used for the Safe Water Conservation Collaborative (SWCC) Prioritization Model (v1.1)
Measurement: Percentage of parcels with >50% “Qualifying Soils” (i.e., Prime Farmland)
Justification: The Natural Resources Conservation Service in WV has programs to protect prime farmland called the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, which focuses on agricultural land and also wetlands. For the Collaborative, it is also important to note NRCS’s role in allocating source water protection funding in the 2018 Farm Bill, as the ultimate goal is to protect drinking water sources through land conservation. |
