SCS and ASC will review plans, measure areas, and obligate funds for waterway and other practices. Seeding pasture, limestone, ponds, waterways, terraces, erosion control dams, drainage ditches, land leveling, and impounding water for irrigation are among the ACP programs with specified cost shares and guidelines.
