FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The CCD offers a 75/25 percent cost share reimbursement program to approved projects. VSP projects are lead by landowners so that they are able to identify and implement unique efforts that will. Additionally, land-owners are able to construct their own projects if they wish, otherwise projects can be contracted. All upfront costs are the landowners responsibility, once the project has been completed and all relevant requirements are met then reimbursement checks are mailed.

VSP projects MUST be related to agriculture in some way.

Example- a flood has eroded a streambank and part of a field. VSP funds could be used to re-establish the streambank. A flood that has eroded a streambank near a private residence does not qualify for VSP funds.

Anyone who is involved with agriculture that believes they have a resource concern (fencing, watering facility, erosion, etc)

Please submit a VSP survey and application to the Columbia County Conservation District. District Staff can help answer any questions.
