Programs

The North Carolina Agricultural Cost Share Program (ACSP) helps address nonpoint source pollution by providing technical and financial resources through a voluntary, incentive-based program designed to improve water quality through the installation of various best management practices (BMPs) on agricultural lands directly involved with agriculture production. 

The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program also known as CREP, is a voluntary program to encourage private landowners to take agricultural land along streams, ditches, and wetlands out of production and to establish riparian buffer zones.  

The purpose of establishing riparian buffer zones is to reduce non-point source pollution and sedimentation from agriculture operations while also enhancing native wildlife habitat. 

CREP is a partnership program between the USDA Farm Service Agency and the state of NC.

The Tyrrell County Beaver Program contracts with a local trapper to remove nuisance beaver and dams.  If you have a beaver dam on your property, please call the Tyrrell Soil and Water office to request an assessment.

The Tyrrell Aquatic Weed Program tries to eradicate nuisance aquatic vegetation in waterways throughout the county.  Primarily spraying Alligator Weed and Pennywort, the  program starts in the spring and ends in late summer.
