Susquehanna County Conservation District

Susquehanna County Conservation District is a U.S. state government entity registered to receive federal awards. The organization primarily focuses on environmental conservation and agricultural management within Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, and surrounding areas. Through federal grant sub-awards, Susquehanna County Conservation District provides services related to land management, water quality improvement, and agricultural best practices implementation, particularly within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The district works closely with landowners, farmers, and other stakeholders to promote sustainable land use practices and environmental stewardship.

The district has received several federal grant sub-awards from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to support its mission. One sub-award funded the employment of an engineering assistant to aid in the design and installation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, serving landowners in Lackawanna, Wyoming, Susquehanna, Bradford, and Luzerne counties. Another sub-award delegated nutrient and manure management program duties to the district under Pennsylvania Act 38 and DEP Chapter 91 regulations, focusing on agricultural pollution prevention. Additionally, the district received funding to conduct compliance inspections and provide technical assistance, likely related to environmental regulations and conservation practices. These sub-awards demonstrate Susquehanna County Conservation District's active role in implementing state and federal environmental programs at the local level, with a particular emphasis on agricultural and water quality management.
