Under NPS Partners in Prevention , we are working with national associations to accelerate voluntary adoption of management practices that reduce nonpoint pollution by their memberships. This effort has been endorsed by the National Forum on Nonpoint Source Pollution convened by the National Geographic Society and the Conservation Fund. Over the 3-year course of the project, over 250 workshops will be held to educate the pork industry in environmental controls. Enable NCA to promote the use of water quality management techniques to its members and to conduct an information exchange program that encourages voluntary adoption of practices. EPA grant recently awarded.
Work is still in organizational stages.
