    The Clermont Conservation Quarterly Summer 2015 East Fork Lake Farmers Can Sign Up Our Mission: For Conservation Funding “To promote the wise Farmers with fields in the East Fork Lake watershed may use of our natural now sign up for financial assistance to help put in place resources through conservation practices that help to keep sediments and nutrients on farm fields and out of the lake. Since 2012, East Fork Lake has experi- service and enced growing problems with harmful algal blooms thought to be caused by excess education” nutrients – mainly nitrogen and phosphorus – that come from agricultural fields as well as failing septic systems, wastewater treatment plants and urban runoff. In January 2015, the Clermont Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) was award- ed a five-year, $600,000 grant through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Resource Conservation Partnership Program to help reduce nutrient loadings through agricultural conservation practices such as cover crops, filter strips, nutri- ent management and more. “For several years, Clermont SWCD and its partners in the East Fork Watershed Cooperative have been working with farmers to install these conservation practices, and the cooperation we have received from the farmers has been tremendous,” said John McManus, Administrator for Clermont SWCD. “I think this grant is a reflec- tion of the dedication of the farmers and the support of the Cooperative. I believe we were able to receive this grant because of these partnerships.” BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Lori Lenhart, the District Conservationist for USDA’s Natural Resources Conserva- tion Service, stated “Along with the more traditional conservation practices, we have David Anspach added gypsum application as an option under this grant.
