The Kentucky Agriculture Water Quality Act
The Kentucky Ag Water Quality Plan consist of best management practices (BMPs) from six areas: forestry; pesticides and fertilizers; farmstead; crops; livestock; and streams and other waters. The statewide plan serves as a guide to individual landowners/land users as they develop water quality plans for their individual operations. The landowner is responsible for preparing an ag water quality plan that best meets the needs of his/ her particular farming operation. This plan belongs to the landowner and must be available in the event that water pollution occurs and is identified and traces to his/her agricultural operation.
