The Conservation Assistance Programs are urban cost-share programs that help property owners address stormwater concerns on their own property with environmentally-friendly practices. They provide financial and technical assistance for installing projects to address erosion, poor vegetation, and/or excess stormwater runoff. The purpose of the program is to help improve water quality in our region by addressing these concerns. By reducing the amount of water runoff from our land, we reduce the pollutants going into our streams and the Chesapeake Bay. CAP funding is available for installing specific practices.
