    _ ______ A An Update on P Environmental _ Issues in Environment Digest Pennsylvania Edited By David E. Hess, Crisci Associates April 2, 2007 PA Environment Digest Video Blog York Town Meeting on Funding Farm BMPs Attacts Nearly 50 Participants Nearly 50 people came to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s town hall meeting in York to discuss how Pennsylvania can encourage farmers to install best management practices on farms through the proposed Resource Enhancement and Protection Act (REAP). So far over 200 people have attended local town meetings sponsored by the Bay Foundation to educate farmers, watershed groups and other interested citizens on this important issue. Also attending and giving remarks were Sen. Mike Waugh (R-York), a sponsor of the legislation, Rep. Ron Miller (R-York), York County Commissioner Doug Kilgore (D) and Gary Swan, PA Farm Bureau. This year Pennsylvania’s legislators have an historic opportunity to reduce pollution, protect the Commonwealth’s waterways and strengthen our economy by giving farmers better tools to reduce nutrient and sediment runoff. REAP, a bipartisan initiative introduced first as House Bill 100 by Rep. Stern (R- Blair) and Rep. Daley (D-Washington) and as Senate Bill 690 by Sen. Brubaker (R- Lancaster), Sen. O’Pake (D-Berks) and Sen. Mike Waugh (R-York), would give farmers tax credits of up to 75 percent of the cost of installing best management practices like forested stream buffer, stream fencing and other measures. Video Blog: Rep. Stern Talks About Challenges Faced by Farmers, REAP "I applaud the REAP initiative because it will be a benefit to both farmers and the environment," said Vice Chairman of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, Sen.
