The Water Quality Linked Deposit Programs consist of four initiatives. Each
program uses the same basic principal of a linked deposit to reduce the
interest rate of a loan, but the projects eligible for each program are different.
Local Water Protection Program (LWPP)
funds projects designed to control the runoff of sediment, nutrients and pesticides.
Landowners are eligible applicants.
Livestock Water Quality Program (LWQP)
assists projects that minimize or eliminate non-point source pollution from animal feeding
operations. Livestock producers are eligible applicants.
